When will they go back to fantasy FF like FFIV/FFV/FFVI/FFIX/FFXII?
>>323936427
Wasn't XIV fantasy as hell
or does that not count
WoFF looks like it might be that as well
As for mainline FF, who knows they change all the time, XV only stuck with a tech world because it was once a part of XIII
Now that I think of it though, don't all have some layer of machina/mechs, when does the line draw on not fantasy enough
>>323936427
>FFIV
Space travel
>FFVI
Streampunk
>FFXII
18th century Britain and its colonies plus some Roman Empire
If by fantasy you mean "generic European middle ages", then FF doesn't do it much. That setting is also pure shit.
>>323937348
Yes, all the FFs have mecha, high technology etc
But some are clearly more scifi than fantasy like VII VIII XIII
>>323937975
this right here.
>>323936427
We've established THAT's not gonna happen. At least, take confort in knowing that Square has launched two new IPs with classic J-RPG mechanics: Bravely and Setsuna.
>>323938724
Why do you type like a fag
As far as Square and the industry at large is concerned, the Nintendo-era Final Fantasies don't exist.
>inb4 After Years which was like a long-ass time ago
>FFIV/FFV
mediocre games
>FFVI
good game
>FFIX/FFXII
shit games
When are they going back to what?
>>323939339
didn't they re-release all of them, and even remade half of them
that doesn't sound like they don't exist

Oh yeah, sorry. Haven't been on 4chan for a while. I forgot that you couldn't just type without bashing every single thing out there and shooting out "faggot" like an AK-47 would shoot bullets.
Fuck's sake.
>>323937975
>Streampunk
I've never heard of this genre before, but I can only assume it has to do with civilizations built on river power with corrupt fish overlords or something.
>>323939515
You have awful taste
>>323943492
Pretty good taste. I almost entirely agree.
FFV was a one-hit wonder.
Shame the rest of the series was shit. Enjoy your movies.
>>323943492
nice list
>>323943492
Decent list
I've just started Final Fantasy XII International Zodiac Job System. I'm a little confused with those 12 classes. Which one should I choose for Vaan?
>>323936427
Most of the core staff behind FF is long gone, OP. There's no "going back".
>>323943492
I like this.
>>323945965
Mah nigga.
I'm about level 27 at the moment after never completing it on PS2.
I read a few guides and the gist of it was choose unique jobs for each character, have a somewhat balanced party and you'll be fine.
You can min max by picking jobs that provide extra points in the stats characters are weakest at. Although that is really not needed for the endgame because their job will be focused on their main stats functions.
I made Vann a monk, because I read that monks can solo shit. They probably could.
>>323945965
> after never completing it on PS2.
Same here. I was liking it a lot, but I had just stopped playing game during that period, and hadn't found find the motivation to do all that massive exploration and hunts again until today.
>I made Vann a monk, because I read that monks can solo shit. They probably could.
I'm uncertain, the all look interesting, it's almost a shame that there are only 5 chracters.
Hunter would fit him but it seems a very simple and not very good class, monk sounds really good, the Dragoon-Job-with-no-jump too.
I like the Knight class as wll, but maybe I should give it to Ashe (and make Basch a Breaker).
I prefer the modern worlds in final fantasy. VI, VII, VIII, and now XV are my favorite worlds in the series. It's something relatable. The more believable the stories, the more I'll care.
>>323949650
>it's almost a shame that there are only 5 characters.
6*, I forgot about Penelo.
After reading the wikia, I'm thinking about something like:
Vaan - Monk or Hunter
Basch - Breaker or Knight
Ashe - Knight or Red Mage or Uhlan
Balthier - Machinist
Fran - Red Mage or Black Mage or Uhlan.
Penelo - Dunno, I doubt I would use her in any case. Maybe Time Mage, just to try this class.
No White mage because it seems that most of the classes know some white magic.
No Samurai because it cannot learn any spells.

It's a really good game.
>>323943492
Top tier taste, anon
>>323936427
FF14 is literally the best FF I've ever played.
I played (and finished) 1,2,4,5,6,8,10,12 and 13.
14 is the best by far.
>>323954843
I feel like I have to say this every time but
It's not even the best FF MMO, let alone best FF game
never
>FFXII
lol
>>323951275
I'm googling it, it seems that nobody recommend Machinist, but I remember the guns being pretty useful in the original, especially in some hunts.
A lot of Balthier/White Mage and Basch/Archer, which I wouldn't have considered.
>>323955416
To be fair it took XI like three expansions or so to get to a point where it was better than XIV is now.
I'm sure XIV can catch up and surpass it by the time it has even half as many expansions as XI
>>323943492
Good list. Only disagree with FFX though. That was a great game.
>>323937975
I just want muh jobs back.
>>323955760
>To be fair it took XI like three expansions or so to get to a point where it was better than XIV is now.
I'd say RoTZ XI was better than HW FFXIV probably partly because of nostalgia but mostly because of how badly HW fucked the game. If the following expansions are as bad as HW was I doubt the game will even get half as many expansions/addons
>>323955416
>let alone best FF game
it is though
ARR story was kinda bad, but oh boy did Heavensward make up for that. Also BLM at 60 is the best caster I've ever played in an RPG besides Dragon's Dogma.
Boss designs could be better, but they are serviceable and Knights of the Round EX is hype as fuck.
>>323945965
>Which one should I choose for Vaan?
Doesn't matter, you can kick Vaan out of the party the second you have a fourth party member and neverbe forced to use him.
If this is your first time playing 12 I question the wisdom of playing Zodiac Job System. It's got some nifty changes but overall it's the easymode version and not as enjoyable for that reason.
>>323956307
>but oh boy did Heavensward make up for that.
yeah and fucked up everything else. The raid was shit, crafting is shit, diadem is one of the most unfun things I've ever done in an MMO, the amount of people who cleared the 3.1 story is half the amount of people who cleared 3.0.
>>323954843
>two FF MMOs

So much wrong with this post. You have your opinion and all but just know it's total shit, just like this idiot >>323954206
I'd like a single player game set in XI's world. That game had some nice lore and was Final Fantasy as fuck.
>>323943930
But, anon, Final Fantasy Dimensions exists, and it's very similar. It's just mobile-only right now. But it's a gigantic game despite its price - it's more expensive than most phone games, but cheaper than 3ds/vita games.
>>323957015
>I'd like a single player game set in XI's world.
That's pretty much it is already. Nearly everything story related is easily soloable
>>323956636
Why would you ever do that when Vaan literally has the best overall stat growth of any character and retardedly quick dagger/spear animations?
>>323957072
>X and V in low
>VI in god
Shit nigga what are you doing.
>>323957072
That's fucking terrible.
>>323956929
Nice refutations of my points about XIII-2, great argument you got there :^)
>>323946081
>>323957291
I agree with XIV in shit.
It manages to try and be Final Fantasy yet fails.
It's no wonder WoW fags flock to it.
>>323957072
Awful, awful taste.
>>323957072
>>323957486
You're missing 2-3 games faggots, do you not know how to count?
The interesting thing is that the series was at its height from 4-10, which was when they just made games like every one and a half years. They didn't spend years polishing every aspect of the game, they just made a game.
>>323957486
You're okay
>>323957291
Your patrician list is okay but fuck you XIII-2, V, and XI are great
>>323957072
You have the worst taste in the thread
>>323946081
You're okay besides not thinking FFT is the best Tactics game
>>323943492
You have the best taste in the thread
>>323957486
Mah nigga. XII is much better than X, though.
>>323957691
>I above anything but II
>VIII above XII and XIII
their peak was IV-VII and they had a smaller one with XI-XIII2
