It's 5 for me! The job class system rules, and the music and storyline all blend together fabulously.

i enjoyed ffx and x-2. i don't think ffx has little, if any, replay value but i enjoyed it the first time through. and ffx-2 has huge replay value with the costume/class system. but that is just me :banana: o_o

anyways my favorite ff game would have to be ffV/IX/ or X-2. ffv for it's class system and hilarious dialogue. IX simply because it is my favorite plot and i think the most indepth. and x-2 for the class system and modern twist . . . . . :popcorn:

FF7 is my favorite because i say so.

i liked FF5 because it had the class system i liked so much in tactics, plus the walking around the world i liked so much in every other final fantasy.

1 i just thought was awesome... the character upgrades were cool... i was amazed when i figured out you can use weapons as an item and have them cast spells... i liked how it reduced the size of the explorable world without leading you along on a leash. etc etc etc...

FF4... the end kinda spoiled it for me a bit... but i liked it a bit better than 6, i think.

X and X-2 good story characters... and Hot Chicks =))

Yeah, one of the more important part of RPGs.

I voted for 9. As far as 1-6 goes, haven't finished none of them. 6 didn't get me hooked, and after a long struggle and boredomnes I got to the last fortress, I needed to divide into groups, and I had only 6 decently leveled characters. Haven't touched the game since. FF7 had this covered, because every character, eventhough they weren't part of the fighting group, followed 5(right? maybe 10, can't remember) levels behind the leader. I have only finished this once, and it doesn't make me want to finish it again. Big part of this is Uematsus music and how I have grown so bored with it.

FF8 was decent, but the whole experience was ruined by DRAW! which I hated. Junctioning was cool and all that, but to junction magic one needs to DRAW magic... And not to mention the small fact that I hate it when angsty teenagers are the last and only hope of earth (or whatever). However, strangely enough this is the only FF game that I have finished twice. FF9 was more fun game than any of the previous ones. The plot was a lot funnier and characters were wacky. Though there were some darker parts, in total it was full of life and happiness. And even Uematsu didn't ruin it :p Though he used lots of lead synths for this one, the musics were very fitting and is the only FF album by Uematsu that I like to listen outside the game.

FFX, haven't finished yet. Fun game, and blitzball rocks. Though voice acting is below average, and I often found myself to push button as soon as I had read the subs, it didn't ruin it. Only reason I haven't finished this is a scratch on disc :p And I should mention that Hamauzu kicks ass. Nakano has also some fine pieces in here, even Uematsu has few, but Hamauzu whoops ass.

As for FFX-2, haven't touched the game yet. I know I hate the music, but I'm still planning to play it.

I'm almost certain that FFT will claim the top spot as soon as I get into it though. I know I love the music, and so far I have enjoyed other tactics games I have played.

And this is my longest post these new forums. Hoorj! :w00t:

What the crap...You took IV off this one ¬_¬;

FF1 through 3 haven't played.

FF4 - :heartsign:

FF5 - Haven't finished. . .¬_¬ I like the class system, but since you get all the classes on the first world, I get pretty bored soon after.

FF6 - Teh Sabin! It's a great game with a really in depth story ^_^ Definetly a classic. . .even if I haven't finished. ((Same thing as Kilu sadly...))

FF7 - ~_~ I'm just not impressed. . .never was either.

FF8 - I liked it. . .I have no idea as to why, but it's an overall good game for the most part, and some of the music is moving.

FFIX - ¬_¬; The only reason they shouldn't erase the exsistance of this game is the great Soundtrack it has going for it, and Beatrix.

FFX - >.<; Besides playing Blitzball((I don't like the concept, but the game was fun)) I just don't like it. The character designs were unmotivated, the music certainly wasn't anything special, and the story just irked me for some reason.

FFX-2 - I've been told it's a fun game. However the music burns, the character design burns, the story burns. ¬_¬; What the hell did they do to the Bard class!?!?!?!?

FFT- Whooo~ Addictive as hell. Deeeeep story, great music. The job system kept things entertaining. Basicly everything up to Orlandu was fun!

FFTA - It was quite a dissapointment. Since they'll be using some of the design concepts for XII I don't look forward too it one bit. >.O; They beat moogles with the ugly stick. . .multiple times! The story just wasn't entertaining in the least, and none of the character were that inspiring. . .though Ritz was kinda cool, even though she has the same name as a Booby Bar near where I live. . .

through most of the game, i was loving FF4... but then at the end, all the characters suddenly sprout back to life.

it came off a bit too contrivedly sacchrine for me.

Well it's like how in some of your favorite Anime((Well half the storys in exsistance)), the hero of the story is near dead. . .the he's reminded of his/her reason for being wherever they hell they may happen to be, and they regain the will to fight~! On another note they weren't dead...merely unconsious...

Iunno...Still my favorite :D

My favorte Final Fantasy would have to be the one that got me into the series. That would be FF6 / 3.
It was by far quite good. And for the SNES was a very well accomplished RPG.
I rank it #1 on my list, While Final Fantasy 5 ranks as #2 then comes final Fantasy 7 after that.

MY favourite would be FF1, I actually like alot of the older games like FF1 - FF6, once they started 7 and up, everything seems to be more graphics heavy and less story....alot more is needed than good graphics in an RPG, actually a good RPG doesn't need ANY graphics at all


(Note: this was basically a repost from the other thread, slightly modified.)

silverDistortioN
08-06-2004, 02:43 PM
i always thought FF7 was lacking in graphics... aside from the cut scenes, that is. i mean, just look at the overworld models...

several months ago, someone managed to convince me the character development was subpar, but after playing it again, i see that even in the relatively underdeveloped characters, it is still quite excellent.

Kyari
08-06-2004, 06:39 PM
My vote went to IX. I won't explain my reasoning again as thoroughly as in the previous forums, so here's the rundown . . .

I bonded with many of the characters. They were so beautifully crafted, so natural-seeming in such an advanced, broad fantasy environment. While the music was full of synth, I never felt it to be out of place (maybe I just connect with Uematsu a bit too much) . . . it's my favorite FF soundtrack, with VIII and VII tying for #2.

Anyway, after downloading the PSFs and listening to them again, I am as impressed as ever with this game. Thanks, Square.

Well, FFII did have somewhat of a better battle system . . . and FFIV had a rather melodramatic, predictable (dead, dead, alive . . . . thins one's gonna die as well . . . he'll be back to life soon) plot :D

08-06-2004, 10:21 PM
You have no need to crucify people who don't share the same view as you. Let's not go there again.Thanks for that input there Kilu :D

daniel, as you're entitled to your opinion, I am to mine. I don't think less of you for liking seven, and you shouldn't think less of me for not liking it.

In my defence for liking FFIV, the American SNES release of FFII was my first Final Fantasy game I ever played, wich is probably why I find it to be such a great game, where as it really isn't the most impressive game during the time.

Okay and about my liking seven, It's not that I don't like the game, it just really didn't impress me like it did ALOT of people. Years of fanboy/girls ranting and raving about how Sephiroth and Cloud were oh so cool just got annoying. It doesn't help that I know about 3 people who won't shut up about the game given the chance. So in a better light, not only was I not to impressed, I'm downright sick of it.

The materia system while orignal and different, just wasn't all that fun. The only character I really enjoyed were Cid, and Aeris ((~_~ Another reason for me not to like it)). (9Too tired to think of more to add))

Kyari
08-06-2004, 10:35 PM
I must ask . . . what was it you didn't like about IX, Kase? I really loved it. I agree about the soundtrack, but . . . I dunno. I found it fun. I didn't mind any predictability and didn't really guess everything at all. I thought it was fun, funny, and I didn't mind the simple battling at all.

silverDistortioN
08-06-2004, 10:43 PM
personally, i didn't find the character development of 9 all too extraordinary... of course, i only played through it once and i don't really remember much from it. i really enjoyed the moogle quest, tho... i don't remember what it was, exactly, but i do remember that artemicion was the coolest moogle ever.

and FFIV is far underrated, in my opinion.

FFIX is the only game I've ever played until 5 in the morning.

I have a great deal of difficulty explaining why I like the things I like . . . but nine hooked me. It drew me in.

I played to the end of disc 1 and fell asleep.

Kaze Nigai
08-06-2004, 11:39 PM
The game is fun, and I can't anything wrong with it, while you're on the main continent. As soon as you leave the main continent though, The entire game just got realy boring too me. The character designs for the most part were destroyed in the stages of taking them from paper and putting them in the game. I'm in love the the orignal character art, it looks fantastic, but the game version just looks too silly.

Aside from that part ((Wich stangley irritates me to no end.)) I'm not sure why exactly but I get bored with it, Kuja wasn't a very interesting enemy, transitioning wasn't the best, you didn't get to keep Beatrix on your team. . .

It's not a bad game, just certain parts irritate me more than others. I'd certainly suggest this game over X or X-2 though. The soundtrack for this one is enough to make me want to play it again, and maybe re-adjust my opinion.

I'd love to see the game redone, and the character models taken more seriously instead of being produced with large heads, and very bland clothing.

I voted for 6, but I could just have easily voted for 9. I guess old alliances die hard. :) I haven't played 1-5, but I should get around to it in the next 10 years or so. I played most of the way through 7 but I didn't like it; I didn't care one hoot for the characters so I really didn't care if their world was destroyed. I thought 8 was fun, but the whole "don't level up" thing threw me off. Nine was really cool, but I lost interest in it after I saw the ending. It's hard to pick a game back up when you know everything that's going to happen. Ten was really good, but I couldn't help but feel like it was a long, long movie with a battle engine. I'm working through X-2 right now and it's okay, but Brother is kind of scary...

I have always had the same sort of problem, the replay value of my RPGs is limited, as it doesn't feel the same going through a second time. However, I found I could do so in FF6 :) I enjoyed maxing out every character, trying to get all the rages, etc. There was always something to keep me busy. Plus I enjoyed the characters, I could relate to some of them, and that helped me get into the game more.

For many people, FF7 was their first Final Fantasy game, and that sort of messes up their opinions of the ones which came before it. The graphics are lower, the system is older, many of them don't give it a chance. I'm glad I started with FF1, got to grow up and move forward as the series developed. However, I'm not a big fan of FFX or FFXI. :/ I think its losing its touch.

FF7 is by far the best in my opinion as i believe it has the greatest story out of them all. I also enjoyed FF9 and FF10. FF10-2 was a major disaster, what were they thinking.

08-09-2004, 08:36 AM
I thought Final Fantasy 10 was great, brilliant musical score, brilliant graphics, nice asian touch. The storyline was great and the ending was not wimpy and although FF10-2 has sort of ruined it I simply don't acknowledge FF10-2 as a final fantasy :)

Plus voices were cool esp Seymour and at times tidus was a tidge annoying but other than that the game as a whole hets 9 out of 10 for me and I have recommended a few girls I know online to play this before FF7 (even though 7 is the best computer game in history imho).

Anyway roll on 12, 13 and beyond, and hopefully we will stick with Nojima, Sakaguchi and Uematsu for future releases and not the pathetic mix that made FF10-2 ;)

Well, FFXII will not be a game from the 'FF team'. Yasumi Matsuno's (Vagrant Story, FFT) team is the one responsible for the game, Matsuno himself as a director and producer. As far as I know, Uematsu will compose only the main theme of the game, rest if for Hitoshi Sakimoto. I'm glad :p This is by far THE FF game that I expect to blow my mind :p

daniel
08-09-2004, 11:05 AM
If uematsu is only doing the main theme then we can expct another FF10-2 in terms of sound, no decent fanfare again....

oh well atleast Advent Children is Nobuo and I think when the sales of FF10-2 and 12 are matched to Uematsu's success they will beg him to do the rest. He must be busy

I am now looking less forward to FF12

EDIT: yeah threy got the good old dude from BOF5 music in, you know that composer who is nowhere near as good as uematsu, man i hated BOF5 soundtrack, why has Uematsu not ben composing since FF10. It just isn't the same without him!

Also Kilu, can't understand what you're so glad about lol, without the main team and uematsu this game won't be anywhere near the level of FF7-10, how can you make a final fantasy without the main final fantasy team? answer: you can't

And for me, it's the exact opposite.

I might add that Hitoshi Sakimoto's score will probably appeal to quite many Square fans (not FF fans), Vagrant Story and Final Fantasy Tactics (Advance) were (mostly) by him, and have quite nice following.

but i'm not particularly expecting 12 to blow my mind. i was expecting 8 and/or 9 to, though... but alas. (no, i haven't played much of 8, but if anyone really thinks it's *that* good, i'm sure i can track a friend down who has it.)

Nope, based on the fact that Nojima and Sakaguchi co wrote the greatest of them all and also the fact that FFX-2's musical score was nothing compared to the rest.

But how do you know who wrote this one? I don't. I only know that director and producer is the man I mentioned before. The story may as well be from Sakaguchi or Nojima or both.

As far as the trailer and screenshots goes, FFXII looks a lot like FFX blended with Vagrant Story. The have reduced the polygon count a bit since the skanky hos but raised texture details a bit. Music sound quite Sakimotoish, Vagrant Story and FFT more than BoF5 (which was a bit different). Battle system is still vague, the trailer showed so little of it.

And that one dude has cool sideburns :p

I don't mind Uematsu not doing anything but the theme at all. He's busy on Advent Children, right? And someone's gotta do the music :D

i take it by "probably," you're referring to the random guess you're making based on no real evidence whatsoever.

How about this for some alternate evidence? Given the template of FF games on each console, I'd say it's going to be excellent. The template being, of course:

-Game #1 on each console is a sort of breakthrough in some sense, focusing on doing new things with RPGs.

-Game #2 on each console focuses heavily on battles and gameplay.

-Game #3 on each system is usually well-loved, focusing on music, story, and characters. It winds up being somewhat of an epic.

For the most part, the template holds true. I discussed this on the old forums . . .

No, that's not teh hero, as far as I know anyway.

These two are the main characters, as much as I have gathered. The dude I posted earlier... is cool. These two are not. But I guess it all comes down to your preferences. If you like the skanky hos of FFX-2, then you may find FFXII heroine ok.

Of course you would. But this is supposed to be RPG, not some hentai dating sim :p

No, same here :) Or maybe we are both weird.

I gotta a feeling, character design is going to be one of the major flaws for me again. If I can't bring myself to like the characters I can't bring myself to like the game.

For the main character of FFXII. . .he's a prince, but he doesn't seem like your dashing, charming, handsome prince. He looks like your whiny, angsty, annoying time. ¬_¬ The main heroine. . .need new clothing. . .her shoes are scary.

The first male posted. . .he's the only "decent" character I've seen. As for his girlfriend-thing. . .((>.>; I forgot what her race is called)) she just looks like a skank. . .~_~

I didn't like most of FFT:A, and partly because the races weren't very inspired, and since they're using them in XII, that doesn't leave me anything else to hope for either.

Yeah, I gotta agree with you there. Bunny ears and black leather. It's almost like in Silver's sig :p There is nothing wrong with the race, but it seems to me that lately the outfits on most of female FF characters have been more of a fanservice for nerdy teenage boys than anything else. I think they try to explain it with the climate that the game is happening. No one can wear furcoats and whatnot in hot climate... :p However, I will not let it distract me from the actual game :)

Leading chicks name is Ashe, and the blonde kid is Vaan. Rest is as follows.

i think the outfit design is more of a biproduct of the eastern-influenced male mind rather than a pandering to the horny teen. but i'm probably wrong.

i'm not liking the bunny lady. but maybe she's a slut in the game or something. =)
or maybe they're designing her character so you'd *think* she's a slut... >.>
hmmm......

I'm just completely unimpressed. The vierra class in FFT:A ~_~; It's like the cat-girl of the FF series. *surprised they aren't trying to add Mithra into the game somehow* Asid from that. . .her lover there is wearing Thick leather pants ~_~; If they're using heat as an excuse Balflear looks like he's going to die of heat exhaustion somewhere in the game.

The only thing about Basch that annoys me is the random pink frilly thing...

Pannelo could almost be wearing leather as protections except she has probably the most sensitive part of the leg uncovered...

Too me, everyone looks more or less just silly. Yes...yes I am a very pessmistic person. On that note. . .hey this game COULD be good. . .but I'm not giving it the benefit of the doubt.

:nana: I like the bunny girl (Fran) and Pannelo, but I think the rest of them stink. Balflear looks like he was a member of Backstreet Boys or N'Synch, Basch looks constipated, the nose-picking girl needs skank clothes that at least go together with some kind of sense, and the girl below her needs more testosterone to avoid being called a girl. :p

Kilu
08-10-2004, 05:45 AM

hahah. yeah :)

I'm gonna bet that Balflear (you know the japanese L = R thingies, that would mean his name could be Barfrear... :D :D :D :D) is some wiseass cracking out witty comments all the time :) He looks like one.

Wouldn't be Barfreal? Since R and L are reversible. (("Burly Rangers~"))

¬_¬ He kinda looks like an interior decorator if ya ask me.

Well yeah, but Barfrear is more fun :p

I agree with Kaze etc, I think that these outfits are purely for sex appeal and nothing more. But saying that they are cool and I hope the game is too, it's a bit of a shame the people at square seem to want to get an even bigger audience by degrading the image

Like daniel said, they seem to be leaning too much toward Final Fantasy graphical appearance. Wich Is good for them, because most people are only attracted through site, as it would probably burn their eyes to read more than three words at one time.
Bad for those of us who enjoy these storys told through character, of who's actions we control.

:D I dunno... Balfrear (pronounced ball-freer) might leave room for some jokes, too. :evilgrin:

08-11-2004, 03:46 AM
I think he's already going to be open for some pretty bad jokes. . .the name just doesn't help.

Kilu
08-11-2004, 07:27 AM
But then again, it's quite possible that the name has already had the L <-> R treatment :)

Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to this game, A LOT! :p

It's sticky candy fruit. It comes in sheets, you punch out shapes. No, none of the shapes are undies :D .

We have these fruit winder things, they're basically a strip of candy stretched really long and placed on special paper stuff then rolled up and you peel it away as you eat it. :)

Those thieves! Thats fruit by the foot blantly renamed :/ Ah well. What was this topic about again? Oh yes, Favourite FF. Well, the poll says FF6 is winning, w00t. :D

I'm actually surprised, I expected FF7 to be dominating. Most people seem to have entered the FF world late, and put FF7 above any SNES titles. I personally enjoyed FF4 more then 7 as well. FF6, FF4, then FF7 maybe... I dunno, FF1 was pretty cool... :)

Yuffie
08-28-2004, 07:49 AM
I haven't played most of the early titles but I liked 8 and 9 for the cute and romantic storylines. :p

I usually like a game for it's story rather than battles and challenges. :)

I like games that require puzzle solving too. :D

FF1 lacked a story line and it was hella hard to level characters (The game did save Square's ass though).

Haven't played 2-3 on the NES, have 4 on PSX. 5 and 6 were ok.

Final Fantasy Freaking 7 is still my favorite! Music, Battle system and Materia, Characters (First time I witnessed Aerith die I cried :p.) Sephiroth is a awesome villain/friend. I CANT wait for Advent Children to come out!

FF8 got good for me at the end of the 2nd disk when the gardens started fighting and Squall saves Rinoa in space, cool story from there on out.

9 was ok, magic was cool but i didn't like the overall plot... to control the trance fighting power at free will? that was lame.

X is cool, haven't beaten it or played X-2. was X-2 good?

have FF11 on PC. World: Siren, Player: Ality lvl 20WHM/15BLM

Yuffie
08-30-2004, 06:32 AM
X-2 turns kinda girl powery and a bit lame...but still cute. :p
Some good songs in it though...some of the story ideas are a bit crap though...and the dresspheres annoy me no end... :shame:

When Aeris died I almost cried tears of joys and almost cried because "I had to drag that dumb bitch all over the damn world and then she goes and dies?! Well she better not come back!" :p

Ality
08-30-2004, 12:48 PM
Aeris was one of my best characters, fighting and healing. I have no idea how that happened, but one can be sure I was crippled for a while after that:knockedout:

FF6 is leading in the polls. Definently good. Favourite games? I would need to say ff6, ff tactics, and then ff7. That'd be the order for me for the top three. 6 had the best storyline (in my opinion, anyways), and was the only ff game in which the characters were basically just ordinary people, who tried to save the world and failed, yet didn't give up hope and ultimatly triumphed. What other game gives you that :) . Tactics was just fun all around and I loved the class system (yes, 5 had it too, but tactics utilized it better). Plus, tactics was a dark game, which appealed to me in an odd sense. And 7, I think everyone will agree, was a great game all around, just not as in depth as 6 or as thought orientated as tactics (speaking only in regards to the battle system there, not meaning thought oriented in other ways.)

Anyways, that's the end of that particular rant on the ff games from me today ;)
