Final Fantasy Discussion

Final Fantasy went down the tubes with the Enix merger back in 2000 or so. I have enjoyed a few of them since but they aren't nearly as good as older ones.

The best lineup in FF history was the PSX. 7, 8 and 9 were breaktaking and the best in the series.

Good work! Love talking final fantasy. Firstly, my order of greatness would be: 1st ff7, 2nd ff8, 3rd ff10, 4th ff9, 5th ff4 and the rest is pretty much irrelevent.

I wish I was born a bit earlier, born in 1990, so yes I'm 22, and my first ff was 7, and tbh I think I'm pretty lucky, although 6 is pretty good.

That's not far away from my favorite games of all time list by the way, throw fallout 3 in 3rd and oblivion and skyrim in there somewhere and jobs done!

FF8's junction system is the best thing ever once you learn to manipulate it, it's basically a case of slappin' ultima on different things across your characters. FF9's ability system makes the game quite easy because you can grind for an hour inbetween plot points and "be **** 7 is my favorite because you are forced to explore to find materia and new equipment, and it makes you want to progress through the story to get the more powerful items.

And then there's 10. Sphere grid... celestial weapons... mirrors, chocobo's, balloons, seagulls and frustration... crests, sigils...there's almost too much, until you realise you seriously need them to fight in the monster arena. The monster arena is basically an entirely seperate game and it's marmite all over. I love it but I hate it.

10-2, just don't even go there, the plot isn't actually THAT bad but the gameplay... dresses? Really? I gave up after that, tried 13 and wasn't impressed.

Remakes/remasters of 6, 7, 8 and 9 would make me one happy man.

Been a fan of the series since 1991 but didnt get into the series until 2003 when I purchased my first Final Fantasy game(s) which were FFIX and FFX.
