The first half of this game is ass compared to the rest of it I'm so confused. Getting the Lord Souls is probably one of the most interesting parts of the game.

With his deflections all used up, the shitty player resorts to more desperate tactics.

>>344838229
FFVI is an absolutely terrible game and was the death knell of the series.

That doesn't change the fact that it's so pathetically easy that you can trivially beat it without grinding.
>>
>>344838229
>i-i'm not bad! y-you have to grind! the game s-sucks!

okay buddy, sure. migh t I suggest FF13 where you can auto battle to win?

>>344838438
I bet you think FF9 is the best Final Fantasy game too.
>>
>>344838152
Bloodborne is great if you like Victorian era stuff or if you are a fan of H.P. Lovecraft. And as I've seen alot of people gave up on New Londo because of the difficulty spike. If you are good at the game it should be no problem.
>>
>>344838152

Bloodborne > Dark Souls 3 > Dark Souls > Demon's Souls > Dark Souls 2

Yes it's good.

> wah wah you're shit at the game so your opinion is invalid

Pathetic
>>
>>344837389

There's a lot of game before that turning point. Think of it as the first section being the whole game, and after Kefka wins you're just playing what would usually be left off, or would be an epilogue, and you actually manage to scrounge together enough resources to make a comeback.
>>
>>344838473
Try FFV.
>>
>>344838152
Bloodborne has tighter combat and a better overall atmosphere to the game compared to Dark Souls, but the latter just feels more unique as far as bosses and areas go. Still think BB is the better game. Also, DLC is grade A

Second half has Richter and The Son though, and they're the best. I loved this entire game start to finish.

https://youtu.be/-h5snZTfoEA

>>344838837
It's got a lot of shaky elements though. Edgar can carry you through the entire first half of the game with his tools, there are lots of ways to utterly break the combat later on, the pacing goes to hell halfway through, the encounter rate can get obnoxious. I love the game but it's got a fair amount of problems. Actually thinking about it now kind of makes me want to go back. Just for the music if nothing else.
>>
>>344840225
>Edgar can carry you through the entire first half of the game with his tools
Or Gau with Marshal, Templar, and Hazer, who dominates right up to Atma Weapon.

Or Sabin, who can keep dominating for the whole game.
>>
>>344840451
There's so much broken shit in FF6 that that's pretty much the entire appeal of the combat. A big and varied cast in a JRPG is a sure way to never have balance but it also makes things interesting as hell.
>>
>>344840539
>that's pretty much the entire appeal of the combat.
And that's why I think FF6 is shit. Games with more variety have been much better balanced and far more difficult than FF6.
>>
>>344840539
tfw beat FFVI completely blind and didn't find any gamebreaking shit apart from Sabin being super good.

As far as combat systems go FF6 is a mess but I don't think that makes the game bad.
>>
>>344840878
It only gets better near the end due to all the crazy settings and weird as fuck enemy's.

Fuck off with your shit taste.

Liking any Souls game is having shit taste, familia. Trash series for trash people who enjoy eating trash.

Woooow, a castle setting. That's not even original WITHIN the Souls universe. Keep it up with those high standards.

>>344841489

Souls games are the most overrated trash that gets discussed on here. Must suck knowing that the abortion that was 3 is your last shitty game in your shitty series.

Just fucking kidding, FROM can't make anything else so the next game is gonna be called Black Conscience

>>344841695

Liking Souls games makes you a hipster smart goy. They aren't popular enough to be "I hate it cause it's popular" tier.

Trying too hard now, anon. You did great before.

It's significantly worse than FFI, III, IV, and V. No, it's not the 'best classic FF game'. It's not even close.
>>
>>344842521

>Trying too hard

Im-fucking-plying that I'm trolling. These are my true feelings. I wish we could make a containment board for you faggots so that we don't have to see Souls shit on /v/ anymore. I know it's hard to believe in your autistic little minds, but many people genuinely don't like your shitty series.
>>
>>344842989
No need to get mad though, if you name your favorite game i can probable tell you why is shit, if i wanted to ofcourse , but there is no need for that, since we are civilised people.
>>
>>344837389
yeah i never understood why people say this game is so good. only part that kinda stood out as interesting was the defense of the city.

Island sucked during the initial phase but it gets okay.

Now Separate Ways and RE5's post Oil Rig segments, those are straight up unenjoyable.

>>344837389
That applies to the entire series with the one exception being XIII, which is just pure shit from beginning to end.
>>
>>344849809
Now, anon, that's not true.

When you take into account how bad the promotional material is, XIII is technically bad before it even begins.

eeeeh, I've played this a million times, but I'm not gonna argue with you. The inverted castle half having the same music track made it seem like it was somehow unfinished/an afterthought.

>>344848574
Explorers of Darkness was worse, the crecelia mission is the worst escort mission I've ever played

>>344837389
The first half of FFVI is fucking awful. Splitting up your parties endlessly with stupid fucking sidestories packed with filler shit and stupid fucking gimmicks like Locke's part, the stupid fucking Moogle mini game thing and then the monotonous repeat except having to reach your way to Kefka this time.

The second half is actually a coherent narrative with a direct objective and actual solid pacing.
>>
>>344837548
World of Ruin isn't even the "second half". The second half of VI starts when you find Terra and Ramuh tells you about magicite and shit.

This meme that WoR = the half way mark triggers the fuck out of me.
>>
>>344838825
I hate that game, but Jesus Christ that fucker pushed my shit in. First time I actually had to buckle down and put some effort in, and it showed that there was actually a glimpse of depth in XIII's combat system.
>>
>>344854828
Story event wise? Yeah, the opera is probably the half way point
Playtime wise? Arriving in the WoR could be if you actually end up doing everything.

Basically the WoR is low on central plot, which is where the hater's dislike comes from, but high on content.
>>
>>344850589
But that was actually really good, and everyone thought the game was going to be great. Then the game released, and it wasn't.
>>
>>344854412
Nigga the halfway point of EoD is when Darkrai fucks you over.
