[QUOTE="irishdude199210"]Ok then, but most of my choices will be from FFX. :Pjohngrose77

Understandable because FFX has a lot of good characters;)

Indeed it does. It was also the last true Square FF (FFXI and FFX-2 aren't 'true' FF games if you know what I mean), before Enix came in and fuked everything up..

It was ok, not really memorable. Story sucked too. Liked Basch and Balthier though. Anyway, I'd better stop before I go on another inevitable FFXIII rant :P I will say, however, that it is unlikely that I'll buy any new FF's, including versus 13 (due out 2099 for the ps19).

The thing is that after FFX a lot of changes kept occurring to the series.Though FFXII still disappointed me. It is a really good game. There were just a lot of changes. It did not feel like FF to me. I think Final Fantasy XIII is a good game. Though when put up against other FF games it can not help but disappoint. Same with XII. XI is a MMO. Huge change. I must say that I feel as if after FFX the FFs became different......and changing things can disappoint. But does not make them bad games. FFXIII gets a lot of hate. It has a nice innovated turn based system. I felt as they did well with characters. Cid Raines was more interesting than a lot of Cids. They presented intriguing characters. The main problem for me was it felt tedious. FFXIII-2 was better about not making it so tedious, but took a step back for the loss of character. They did not need another MMO either. FFXII was still better than XIII. It had intriguing characters and a brilliant story. Though everyone has their opinion:P.

I liked FFXII alot more than 13 (which I don't like at all) , but it wasn't on par with older titles. All good things must come to an end, and I believe FF has reached the end. Changes to a game are one thing, but FFXIII is basically a completely different game. They should make a new IP, but alas Square-Enix are too money hungry to risk such a bold move.

They need a new IP. I think we will see one soon. Though there are past FFs I like less than XII and XIII. Final Fantasy III is my least favorite FF. FFII is not much higher. I believe that making another MMO was a bad move. SE just wanted more money. It really was not necessary. FFXI is getting another expansion. So two MMOs. SE seems to be doing everything in their power to kill FF. Type-0. Not localized. FFVersus was anounced in 05/06 and still barely know anything about it. SE just needs to alleviate this. XIII still sells well though. XIII is not FF. As I said after X FF has just hit me with disappointments. Though I have enjoyed XI, XII and XIII. I still wish for a FF like X.

Btw what I meant by FFXIII not being FF is that it did not feel like FF. But neither did XI or XII. lol you really hate XIII. I think XIII-3 is a bad move, but with how they left things in XIII-2; I want it to get wrapped up. I would not blame you for never buying a FF again. It would seem as we move foward in the series each FF gets worse. Another thing SE could do with FF is expand on some others. FF IV got a sequel. FFV could have a prequel focused on Bartz father dealing with Exdeath before. FFVIII prequel following Laguna. FFX prequel following Braska. How about sequels to IX and VIII. I want to know whats going on with Squall and Zidane.

I don't really like the idea of sequels or prequels. I like to have certain elements left alone.

And that is why I am happy it isnt a FF6 : The after years

@John

Well they may have changed the gameplay a lot in FFXII, but I think they probably made it like that to try to have new players to the series not fall away quickly. FFXII gives a more easier and quicker strategic element, instead of waiting and eterity for the animations to happen. It also had more real time instead of the waiting. They also removed the random encounters, for the better I must add.

For me, I would say that FFXII is above FFX. The story is even better and more complicated in FFXII (yeah, behead me) it got more sidequests and free roaming. Oh and as Irish, I think FFXIII is a component in sh*t and I wont even start with it.

@lordmew, I actually agree that FFXII has a better plot. I love XII don't get me wrong. It just disappointed me. If I can like XIII then I for sure can like XII:P I understand why you guys hate XIII. I do enjoy it; I just do. I prefer almost every other FF to it, but I do like it. I like it at a superficial level if that makes sense. FFX is higher than XII for me. We all have our opinions. I like IX better than both XII and X:P I liked X because of the Tidus and Yuna focus. Have you played Final Fantasy Tactics War of the Lions( or original)?

I briefly played tactics, its alot like other srpgs (like Disgaea, only less ott). It seemed pretty good though. I do like FFXII but never felt like replaying it. I gave it an 8 on gs's rating system. I guess if I liked the story and characters more i'd like the game more, because I didn't mind the combat and actually liked the license board. Admitedly the only thing stopping me from saying FFX is my favourite is sentimentality for FFVIII. I liked literaly everything about FFX.

Tactics is awesome. I love the original Tactics. It has a really good story. Yeah FFX had the best summoning system in my opinion. I liked VIIIs a lot too. My favorite would either be Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy VII or Final Fantasy IX. My favorite used to be Final Fantasy X actually. VII was my first FF as well as my first game. I'm guessing FFVIII was yours;)

I played a demo of FFVIII when I was 8. First rpg I ever played. I loved it. My bros played it too and they enjoyed it. They said it got good reviews, but it wasn't the type/genre of game they liked. I always liked working with numbers though :P. A year later I saw it in a shop for 12.99 (about $15), I bought it. My bro warned me it was a long game and was hard. I didn't mind. I made it to the last boss, not really understanding the story. I never completed it.... That is.. UNTIL NOW! :P Finally completed it last december, the joy was immense.
