What's the worst real Final Fantasy?
>>
>>317978920
Two.
>>
Given I liked every single one of them (even the nes FF2), I don't really like pinnin one as the worst.

FF12 IZJS was definitely the best though
>>
>>317978920
When will the ff2 is bad meme end
>>
I could never get into X or X-2.
>>
>>317979124
then which one is worse than FF2?

I loved FF2 but it did have a lot of glaring flaws (especially its original version), I don't think of it as bad but I can think of it as the worst FF at the limit.
>>
FFX best logo.

Is there anyone who actually believes this? Triple Triad was literally the only thing good about that game besides the music. That game had such shit characters/character development/story/gameplay. Fuckin hell I wish I had my time back.
>>
>>317979429
>enjoying XIII more than X

How?
>>
10 and 13 are the worst ones

and since 13 is basically 10 with a shittier everything, that places it on rock bottom

10-2, 13-2 and 13-3 were all pretty good though
>>
>>317979604
I did not care for a single minigame in X, or the party, or the villains, or even the visuals at the time. The combat system was serviceable at best (tho' X-2 made it really legit) and the music was good but that's all I particularly liked.

Meanwhile I really liked the party in XIII, thought the worldbuilding was cool, and loved the OST. While the gameplay was still only serviceable at best like X and the villains were somehow even worse than Seymour and company, I liked it more overall for what it got right.
>>
>>317979124

7 most overrated, x-2 worst

when it stops having the word job & levelling system in the series
>>
>>317978920
Not even trolling but 6. I hated everything about that game when it came out except for the fantastic production value of it. There is no penalty for cheesing skills which makes standard attack useless, some characters are way OP when you get in to this. A lot of the set pieces are neat but not actually fun (stealth sections, Opera House), and I thought the overall story was pretty lame. I actually really liked 2 (even though I haven't played it in a very long time) and would probably put that in high, 3, 12 and 13 would go to mid and 7 would join it, 8 would get its own Elder God tier.
>>

There was literally no worldbuilding in FFXIII. There wasn't even a world. FFXIII does not take place in a world. It takes places in levels disconnected from civilization, people or drama.

>if its in the game then it doesn't exist

I mean you still get a fuckload of detail and cool info talking to NPCs throughout the city areas, from party member banter/observations as you're out running about from all of the l'Cie missions you can complete, and from the story itself.

>>317980989
Anon I don't think you actually know what deus ex machina as a trope means or what the fal'Cie actually were.
>>
>>317978920
FF12 isn't bad in the slightest. I would believe it to be at the very least mid tier.
X gets far too much praise for the braindead characters voice acting and story.
8 only ever had it's music and triple Triad going for it.
3 also wasn't bad it just suffered for having a poor story due to being a fucking Nes Era game.

after 10 it was nice to see well designed dungeons and a story that wasn't retarded along with an innovative combat system that gave me the opportunity to use the environment to my advantage but you put 13 in mid tier so what do you know about quality

Nah, it'd go one spot lower by combining FFXIII on both systems. Even combining the original and DS versions of III is less total sales than XII on PS2 alone, and the FFXIII sequels sold worse.

I don't even know where you're going with this. Even barring the relatively low sales of the ports, it's not like people who bought the originals knew the games would have GBA/PC ports later on. Final Fantasy XII would have more sales if it had ports as well, it's a meaningless argument.

It is fair to compare sales of multi platform games vs a game that was released on one system when when it's in the same series. All sales count.

>>317992535
It is one of the worst selling FF games. You faggots are delusional and are cherry picking sales numbers to prove me wrong when I'm right. All sales count when talking sales numbers.

As I said before, feel free to show me your source for total sales.
>>
>>317992626
Replace XIII with XII and that would be perfect.
>>
>>317991709

The problem with FFX's gameplay is that it's shit until the endgame. The only cool element of the gameplay for most of it is the Trigger Commands in certain boss battles that can be used to make some unique fight mechanics.

Aside from that all the interesting elements are nonexistent or unnecessary until you hit the end of the game and do the optional content, Most characters are heavily restricted on the Sphere Grid until around then, weapon abilities don't matter much at all until around then, and the vast majority of normal battles in the game boil down to "switch to the character that's good against this enemy type and one-shot it/debilitate it to the point where it can barely do anything," so none of the actual good mechanics involving manipulating turn order and stuff are relevant.

Basically the game has a bunch of good systems that it doesn't use until endgame, making most of it a boring slog. And if it takes 'til endgame for a game to get good, it's not a good game.

I seriously disagree. Turn based combat is great, I'd take it over ATB any day. What's with the obsession of downplaying a game for being turn based?

And if you have to suffer through a game to get a story just go read a book.

I don't care about story (despite being fucking HORRIBLE in 8)

the gameplay is a goddamn mess by all means
>>
>>317993836

I did. I left out the games I didn't play (III, the MMOs)

IV was just okay to me. The story ranged from alright to retarded and the gameplay was pretty bog standard (understandable since it established the standard, but still) with the addition of being painfully railroaded with no character/party customization at all. It has its moments but for the most part it's not especially interesting.
>>
I've played 7, 9, 10, 10-2, and 13. I also played a small amount of Tactics.

Of those, 9, 10-2, and 13 were all pretty shit. It's hard to say which is the worst.

I actually was pretty interested in the story of 13, but most characters were annoying and the gameplay was unbearable.

I wasn't fond of any aspect of 9, but none of it was terrible, either. It was just uninteresting in every way.

I'll admit that maybe I was too quick to judge 10-2, but it seems like every aspect of it was designed to be as different as possible from X. There's a chance I could've enjoyed it for what it was, if it had a different title and setting, but at the time I found every moment of the game unpleasant.

So I'm going to give it to 9. There was some parts of 13 I liked, and some parts I abhorred, but at least it made an impression on me. Being universally boring is worse than that.

>copypasta because it's cool to hate on XII for parroted reasons, so you get copypasta in return
- Gambits add a strategy element to the previously monotonous "Attack, Defend, Magic vs. Weakness" menu system.

- The story, though traditional, is far more polished and accessible (thus cathartic and universal) than any other Final Fantasy.

- The use of an 'unplayable' main protagonist in Basch/Ashe, with the player character as a virtual onlooker to events much, much larger than his station in life would ever become allows for an unique and refreshing take on the hero's journey compared to what previous FFs had relied on; all of which suffered from a predictable rise from rags to superhuman, world-saving riches instead of a more plausible hero who was full of faults and truly relied on his teammates instead of carrying them through in every instance.

- Three lovely ladies and two straight-up ballers accompany you - each with their own recognizable yet discrete backstories and character arcs which are eminently satisfying and integrated into the main narrative seamlessly, and are both causal and conditional to the overarching narrative.

- The motion capture, character design, lore, voice acting, and English translation are unrivaled in a Final Fantasy, and even in most video games, period.


TL;DR Final Fantasy XII (specifically IZJS) is the pinnacle of the franchise and for any future title to have a hope to supersede it, a paradigm shift in narrative and design when it comes to the medium itself would be virtually the only way.

>>317994592
To be fair the story is pretty over-dramatic at times, so I'll give you that. I think though for its time it did something pretty special, both being the first Final Fantasy with a good story and characters. You can analyze the game from an almost literary standpoint: think of how pervasive the theme of 'Redemption' is, both big and small ways, from the beginning quest for the king, to righting your wrongs, to Golbez, to a bunch of characters etc. It's pretty compelling, for 1991.

Most of this is admittedly nostalgia though for the game from over the years.
>>
>>317981623
>MMO
I would count them though.
>>
>>317993925
I liked it, but I didn't quite know what was going on. So I kind had to infer what actually happened before hand. Too my surprise, not much different.

That and I never really played much RPGs before that game, with the only other RPG games I played before being Pokemon and FF1

>>317994905
Junctioning only broke the game if you went out of your way to do so. Nobody is going to break it during regular play.

>Story is more polished

Did you find it to be pretty grind-heavy, or was that just me? While IV was really, really linear, I liked that so long as you didn't avoid random encounters you'd generally be leveled enough to handle bosses (excluding maybe the last one which required some grinding on the GBA and DS).

>>317995067

Yeah, I don't really have any nostalgia for IV. I first played it on PS1 after already playing VII and VIII, pretty much forgot about it, and then didn't play it again until a couple years ago. So I wind up judging it next it to the other SNES FFs and finding it just alright by comparison. It obviously established a lot of elements that the "golden age" FFs were known for, but next to the later games I just don't find it all that compelling.

I still rank it above X because I never had to force myself to finish it or anything, and it's definitely not a "bad" game like II or XIII, but it doesn't really do anything to make me love it.

There was at least three major villains in 10, depending on how you count.

The villain that provided primary motivation to the protagonist and started the story, Jecht; the villain that most directly antagonized the party, Seymour; and the villain behind it all, Yevon.

Each of these characters wanted different things for different reasons, and only one of them wanted to destroy the world- and that one had devolved into an insane subhuman zombie over the course of the game.
