4 would be better if it was a bit less obvious through most of the game

Like you come across a robot boss and the weakness is lightning. I don't think that set of bosses had any other weaknesses either except maybe Blind

The fiends are awesome though

Is there a single robot boss in Final Fantasy that isn't weak to lightning?

>>321544190
I'm being 100% serious. IV is mediocre and overrated as fuck. It's frankly boring, bland and has the worst gameplay in the series. The only reason you like it is because it was your first JRPG and you are unable to dissociate from your nostalgia.

Apparently not by the looks of it, I thought the CPU boss wasn't weak to it but it is, just it's gimmick is a pain in the ass so I must never have used lightning on it

>>321544761
FF2 is just a boring version of 4 in every way. It's more simplistic, the characters are similar but less interesting. The music is mediocre, and the gameplay system is stupid, though not as bad as is memed. FF4 is your standard FF so its an improvement

Of the 2D games I'd rate them:
5>4>1>6>2>3

Though I didn't play the new version of 3 so maybe its better but I didn't enjoy the original at all
>>
>>321544880
IV is the epitome of "press X, heal, repeat" JRPG gameplay that /v/ loves to bash until it comes to their childhood classics like FFIV and Earthbound.

I love turn-based JRPGs. IV just happens to be one of the worst ones.

>>321545297
No customization, linear character progression, no party mechanics, all bosses are big punch bags with flashing "Use X element on me!" red weak points. If it's no different from the genre's lowest common denominator, I don't think it deserves to be called the best game ever.
>>
>>321545814
>no customization
Why is this a bad thing? Customization makes 90% of the cast worthless in 6, 7, 8, 12. Since the stats barely differ and only limits can define them, the games just become 'discover the most broken limit break and then assign generic roles'

Fuck you, fuck off
>>
>>321546036
>no customization
>not a bad thing
You can tell something is wrong when IV has less customization than the fucking FF I on the NES.
>>
>>321545683
>Not caring about story and characters in a JRPG
Don't you have other threads to shitpost in?
>>321545771
IV had a standard FF story with a slightly dumb ending, which still puts it miles ahead of X-2. I can't even remember X-2's music, did it even have anything different from X that was actually good?

>>321545814
>no party mechanics
To be fair, Double Meteor was a thing, albeit only under fixed circumstances. Really, characters having fixed but unique skillsets allowed for a better character focus, it would've only hurt the story if anyone other than Rydia could become a summoner at the drop of a hat, or if Cecil could go back to being a Dark Knight for no reason.
And I'm not the one arguing it's the best ever, I'm arguing that it's not the worst. And considering there are games in the series that are just as simplistic with worse story, it definitely doesn't qualify as the worst.
>>
>>321546036
With customization, you can make any character not shit. Without it, a shit character is stuck being shit.
>>
>>321546372
>IV had a standard FF story with a slightly dumb ending, which still puts it miles ahead of X-2
Everything about IV's story was shit. The same as X-2.

>I can't even remember X-2's music, did it even have anything different from X that was actually good?
X-2 is a lot more upbeat and catchy and with some jazz tunes. IV's OST is beautiful but X-2's is somewhat better although probably less memorable if you didn't enjoy

Well that's your opinion and your opinion is factually wrong, fuck you, I'm not backing down on this one.

I enjoyed X-2's music but the characters and story simply weren't anywhere near good enough for me to keep going with it. So yeah, it probably is part of the reason why I don't remember the music.

I disagree, it never really went off-rails and I don't think it really ever got out of hand. Zeromus may have come out of nowhere but I think it just showed how fucking evil Zemus was that even death could not contain him.

The III version fucked up a lot of stuff. Like reducing max enemies to 3. Also that 3 battle requirement for when changing class.
IV DS was pretty cool though. Fixed everything that was wrong with IV, gameplay-wise.

What are you talking about, IV DS is fucking great and it alongside the Complete Collection on the PSP are the best versions of it. I'm thankful we have as many rereleases as we did but the CGI openings for IV and TAY play with my imagination and makes me wish we get one that looks that good one day.
>>
>>321546865
3's remake was really good, I'm always surprised that its not mentioned much. Maybe I shouldn't be though with how most FF fans only like the modern post FFIV style that focuses less on the world like a traditional rpg and more on its characters.
>>

>Underage

Only fags that started with XIII like it.
>>
>>321547935

I didn't like:

- Stat nerfs when changing jobs. Seriously, what the fuck was the point of that? I prefer the point system in the original, I never had to even really worry if I had enough points or not.
- Battles seem somehow slower than the FC version
- Only three enemies in battle as opposed to the maximum of eight in the FC version (minor complaint, but still)
- Ninja and Sage nerf (I thought their brokenness was fun)

There's probably some things I'm forgetting, but that's just what I remember right now.
>>
>>321542813

>>
>>321548434

Well that's amazing. Every time you changed jobs your stats would suffer until you fought a certain amount of battles, then they'd go back to normal. I think the duration of the nerf actually increased the more you changed into a job (though it only increased a couple times, it'd stop increasing after a certain point).

You're describing IV
>>
>>321549587
This is the part I don't get. You just described several previous FF games but they don't get as much hate at all.

XIII was the first FF released when internet forums were commonplace for everyone, and thanks to this people just got it into their heads that it was a bad game. This was around the same time 'gamers' started turning into whiny pricks to boot.

>>
>>321549804
Maybe I should have phrased better.
At least FFIV had a world to explore, while XIII didn't.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying 4 is the best thing ever, but it was simple. It had some generic but characters with their own identity which was okay at the time, it was the first FF to have a linear plot and I didn't ahev to manage a superficial leveling system.
>>
>>321549975

If you say so. Back in my day people would call people for liking the newer games underage. Never saw "underage b&" for someone liking a game from the 80s. I can't keep up with the ever-changing rules.
>>
>>321550116
>>only battle system to require actual quick thinking, timing, planning, and paying attention to enemy behavior
Are you sure you're talking about XIII? It had none of that, it was auto attacking 90% of the time, the only part where you had to pay any modicum of attention was when you were in a boss battle and even then it was just the occasional paradigm shift. XIII is one of the most mindless games I've played.
>>
>>321549839
>All previous FF were composed mostly of shitty characters, plot, world and system
Shit son, why the hell do you even play them if you don't like it?
Also, I don't agree with you, they might not be the best writing in videogame history but at least they did their job well, or at least most of them. Meanwhile XIII was a step to the wrong direction in every single way.
>>
>>321544413

Omega Mk 2 depending on what barrier he has up.
>>
>>321550573
And XIII did it's job perfectly fine as well. I don't hate the the games, but the fact that you dislike FFXIII which did nothing differently just baffles me. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the characters.

I can't believe you're this deluded.
>>
>>321542813
I've played only 3-7 and 4 is the most boring of them. 5 is the best.
>>
>>321550958
I don't agree with you. It's wrong of me to expect a good job from it considering the past games?
XIII itself is very lacking on content I didn't play XIII-2 or Lightning Returns and I'm not considering them.
It almost don't have a world, the characters are unlikable as fuck, most of the time they don't fucking know what to do because the Pulse Fal'Cie can't tell them their objective.
At least when I'm playing FF4, 6 or 7 I know what the party wants to do and I'm curious of how it is done, the places they visit, the things they go through and etc, but 13 has nothing of that.
You can't tell me to not be disappointed for a game that is shallow as fuck after they manage to make a world to explore since FF1. And the worst thing is that I don't even think that 13 would also work as it's own thing since it is convoluted as fuck.
>>
>>321551643
>characters are unlikable as fuck

Why? They all have an agenda. Did you drop it an hour in or something?

And what's this about a world to explore? As a corridor FFX was exactly the same, and all the other games usually had only one place to go for 90% of the game. The world opens up towards the end in every FF game, and that's exactly what happened.

>It's wrong of me to expect a good job from it considering the past games?

Of course not, but arguing that you didn't get a good job is just perplexing. This is my last reply, I hope you do something to cure that strange, autistic cherrtypicking taste of yours.

>>321542813
I got really fucking tired of characters 'dying' to make room in your party, only to have them turn out ok later on.
