dolla dolla bill yall

You know when you think about it they basically tried to do what Elder Scrolls does for its levelling system but the technology just wasn't there yet

There now I've hijacked your shitty bait thread into an actual discussion

FF1 was a mess too, they just got lucky and all the broken shit didn't ruin the experience.

I like FFII.

It gets a bad rap. I like it the best out of the three NES games.

FF2 was a major success in Japan, sold better than 1.
Japan also likes it.
Japan hates FF6 though for example.

I still want to know more about NASIR. It just seems so odd that some noname Japanese studio in the 80s would hire a middle eastern programmer and bank on him so hard that they temporarily moved to the US with him when his green card ran out.

A whole lot of ambition went into the game, but technology and lack of a real template made it crash and burn. I think FFII is the worst game in the series, but I think it's worth respecting for that.

He literally created the engine for the early FF games.
Without him they couldn't do shit since it was his code and only he understood it.

Japan doesn't hate FFVI, but they do consider it an inferior follow-up to FFV, which a lot of westerners would probably agree with if we hadn't missed out on it for so long.

Ya'll niggas bitchin' bout it but none of ya seem to realize dat shieet was popular as fuck in Japan yo

Or if most peoples First final fantasy game wasn't 7 or 10.

Because it was a time for new experiments, companies actually took risks to see what kind of things their fans like. See Castlevania II and Zelda II.

That's kind of how I've always thought of it, too. It had some neat ideas, but the implementation of them along with system limitations at the time didn't do the game any favors.

V and VI are both really good but very different, I couldn't pick which one is better.
Actually, every Final Fantasy is a completely unique experience, even today. Shame about XIII ruining the consistent high quality though, and I don't see much chance of XV being good

FFV's gameplay is honestly better but the story, graphics, and music of FFVI make for a much more memorable experience. Both games have a major problem with being reliant on grinding, though.

Sell all weapons and make everyone a monk master race checking in.

Makes that game so much easier.

I'm not sure if you could do this in the original but in the GBA version you could kill almost anything including bosses with just the teleport spell, so I ended up making my party dual wield shields and use magic.
