FF1 was made in an era where games not only didn't coddle you but RPGs in particular tried their best to kill you while giving you the illusion of having a chance

the caverns encounter passage is a great grinding zone. rapid facilitation of the need to kill shit

fighter, monk, white mage, red mage is my go to party
while the early game encourages you to give monk weapons, unequip them around level 5 for instant monster rape. haste on monk makes any boss a joke, even Chaos

Anyone else likes FF1 a lot? To the point you'd say you like it more than the more modern entries?

FF1 has various of my favorite songs in the entire franchise. Tracks like Castle Corneria and Temple of Chaos and even the Town Theme are among my all time favorite vidya tracks.

Same with FF2. I believe that game gets way too much unwarranted hate. It's not bad, just different. And the OST is top notch too. Castle Pandemonium is amazing.

>>283663395
PSX Origins in Hard is the best for FF1. The PSP remakes changes way too much shit.

2 is the best for PSP though.

3 is a mixed bag. The remake is not bad, just different. I'd recommend both for different reasons but I'd probably recommend playing the NES game first.

4 is another pain in the ass too. I absolutely love the remake but I would recommend playing the other versions first. PSP if you don't mind the update graphics but if you are a pixelfag I recommend the GBA version otherwise.

PSX is ass for various reasons like the massive loading times, the USA SNES release is butchered beyond reason with an awful translation and I don't know if there's a good fan-translation of the Jap Release of IV.

5 and 6 are better of GBA. Don't let any nostalgiafag tell you otherwise. Just make sure you grab the music-fix patches.

1&2 are sadly best on the Final Fantasy Origins(PS1) version. Square based the future versions that came after on its easy mode setting and removed the original difficulty.

Final Fantasy 4 remains my favorite FF game, with FF9 coming in a close second in terms of story/themes.

FF1 is pretty close to classic roguelikes, via hindsight it looks a lot like other Final Fantasy games because of the turn based, menu system but has a lot to do with exploration with very little story guidance and a very unforgivable world with no real HP/MP restores outside of towns.

FF2 was made by the same guy who made SaGa Frontier, his philosophy behind making FF2 was that he wanted every character to have something unique about them and grow in a way that would be unique to them. He gets this down better in later games, but thats the reason for FF2s very different leveling system.

I'd suggest you go check out Nethack or Dungeon Crawl roguelikes and if you haven't go look into SaGa Frontier, its an old PS1 game

I wouldn't call FF1's difficulty hard, just bullshit.
>>

Origins version of FF1 is also pretty great. It has proper difficulty settings. With PSP I believe you can save anywhere, while with PS1 you can only quick save anywhere. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I thought damage was done in a diceroll fashion, though? Like you can do a range of damage from X to Y. So there's a chance that if I unequip him he will do less damage even though his Y value is higher. I wouldn't know. I could record averages but even that has margin for error.

Yeah I agree with you, but I don't hate the newer final fantasies because of it

There isn't really any final fantasy I hate but some have elements that particularly bother me, like 4 forcing a final party on me and extremely grindy ones like FF2's magic.

In terms of story and characters though, FF2 remains as one of my absolute favorites. It didn't feel like they were making pandering characters at all, just characters that were cool and fit the scenario.

I don't think there'll ever be a white mage like Minwu ever again.

I think Firion, Maria and Guy were pretty cool the only one I wasn't really a huge fan of was Leon.

I agree on soul of rebirth completely though. Ballin ass party, I felt completely badass. Ricard is like the only Kain-lookalike character in the series that I actually fucking liked ten times better than Kain.

I'd say that the original PS2 versions are the definitive versions since they have far better music and emulate well in PCSX2.

>Type-0 - Definitive Version will be released for the PS4 and Xbone on March

If you're going to include side games, include all of them.

Also, War of the Lions has hardcoded slowdown. It can be patched, but the base game has forced slowdown.

Lemme see.

It went like this: Chaos is actually a sentient manikin that got adopted by Cid and his wife. Manikins were created by Lufenia scientists through a Crystal they found on The Void. Chaos was then used to kill the Summons of FF1 world and Cid was like fuck this shit this is my son but Lufenians scientists weren't having his shit so they fucked him up and killed his wife, Chaos went mad and to keep him calm they madea manikin with Cid's wife memories on him and that manikin is Cosmos more stuff happened and Chaos, Cid and Cosmos were thrown into the void and Shinryu who was chilling there made a pact of them to make the dissidia wars happen and in exchange he would let them out someday.

Time later, WoL appears on the Dissidia world and he's a sentient manikin made with Cid memories that Cid created. Garlands shits his pants when he sees him for obvious reasons and Prishe saves him and teaches him how to be cool with LIGHT.

More time later, they buttfuck Chaos and everyone is sent to their world and the ending scene of Dissidia is WoL walking towards Castle Corneria aka FF1 start.

Guy did absolutely nothing and only talked like a caveman a couple of times to remind us he was still there, there was something with Maria that rubbed me the wrong way, probably because I instantly knew that there would be eventual drama with his brother.

Firion was only passable because he got to speak the most as the face of the party, plus that Lahmia scene.

Guy was a pretty cool character in concept, he just didn't get much backstory. They expand on his story in some novel explaining that he was raised by beasts when he was young.

>Anyone else likes FF1 a lot? To the point you'd say you like it more than the more modern entries?
Yes and I like it even more after playing the newer FFs. There just is something that is absent in newer in a game where the enviroment does most of the talking instead of endless cutscenes and FMV videos, that doesn't have 2derp4u stories or crinceworthy romance subplots and then there is the replay value you get from all the different job combinations you can't change later on. I guess sometimes less really is more?

In the originals, int was bugged and didn't work, so mages were severely underpowered, to the point where a red mage is better than a black mage because int doesn't matter and red mage learns most of the good black magic anyway.

The entire main party in FF4 was complete fucking garbage to me. i mean Rydia was cool at first but then she became waifubait and oh so cool summoning magic bait.

FF7 characters were actually all pretty cool.

FF8 is just as you say.

FFX has good characters but just not as cool as other entries.

FFIX characters are cool but really generic.

I mean After 10 the characters just start becoming more and more bland.

>>283670047

Ehh... I don't like how that sounds to be honest. There was something special about the original heroes of the franchise being a group of nobodies, and having them and Garland/Chaos having a mundane origin. You gotta start from somewhere, you know?

And retconning the 4 heroes of Light into 1 special snowflake is just too much. WoL gets a pass because of his get shit done attitude, but still.

>>283670794
>After 10 the characters just start becoming more and more bland
XII had loads of great characters, and XIII, well, your mileage may vary. I like the cast quite a lot, but I don't think many come off as "cool". Considering the game revolves around the main party, there's not much else to focus on but them. Haven't played the sequels, though. Not yet, anyway.

>People actually dislike Kain
I see you plebs haven't played 012.

I'll admit Kain is kind of so-so in just FFIV but you have to be heartless to not feel for the guy at times, he really goes through a lot of shit and deserves a real break.

That's why I hate The After Years. They make it so that Kain took 20 fucking years to get over his butthurt.

>>283670836
Because the Void is cool as shit. And it's actually one of the best excuses I've seen to make a proper connecting multiverse.

>>283670972
The Warrior of Lights were not a group of nobodies. They were literal chosen ones, with prophecy and everything.

>And retconning the 4 heroes of Light into 1 special snowflake is just too much. WoL gets a pass because of his get shit done attitude, but still.
Is it really a retcon? For all we know WoL meets the other 3 WoL while waking to the Castle. At least, that's what I like to believe because otherwise it's really lame.

>>283671182
Dissidia Chaos =/= Garland/Chaos. They are two different entities.

It's all a ruse to misdirect the players to make them believe Chaos is Garland/Chaos but in reality he's not.

Well I don't know if they retconned them really, the three other guys aren't in Dissidia but it doesn't mean that they don't exist

He's known as THE Warrior of Light because he's the only one around (except for Bartz I guess) and just calling him "warrior" would be kind of dumb

It's one thing to be a chosen one, you can be a chosen one while being born in a lame village with no special background and having a crystal besides you.

It's an entirely different thing to be an artificial being inheriting the memories of the father of motherfucking CHAOS and involved in all sorts of multivers and divine bullshit.

Honestly, you should just play Dissidia. The way I'm telling the story to you makes it all sound really lame but it's much better explained on the game themselves. It's actually not half-bad at all.

And the games are actually fun. Go get Duodecim because it has all the stuff Dissidia 1 had on top of it's own shit. And for the love of god play Dissidia storyline first. Duodecim is a sequel. Even if the story there is a prequel you are supposed to fucking play Dissidia storyline first.

the problem with FF4's final cast was that all your non-final characters had some good closure to their story arcs. Kain not being manipulated, Rosa's story of waiting for Cecil to get an erection, and Cecil's story of not being pissed off all the time all sort of resolve together and it isn't really shown how it effects any of them. Rydia and Edge are just sort of there. I dunno.

FF7, Nanaki had most of his storyline cut out and has always been some sort of faggy Fire Wolf that didn't stand out a whole lot from the others.

Dude, are you even reading? Garland is still Garland. Dissidia Chaos is NOT Garland. That's the entire joke.

Single storyline. You play with everyone on the story mode but it's made so that you go through a linear path divided through chapters.

>Pretty sure you are rusing me.

>How the fuck does Garland know so much?
He's been on the war since the first cycle. Dissidia takes place on the 13 cycle. Fuck, Garland is the one who actually gives Chaos his name of "Chaos" thanks to Chaos becoming eroded over time. Guess where Garland picked up the name from?

>Why IS he chaos at the end of FF1
Man, you guys are dense.

Garland = FF1 - 4 Fiends Chaos
Dissidia Chaos = Sentient Manikin that Garland was fucking around with.

Chronodia was a boundless entity with absolute control over time and space also known as the Master of Time. Roaming myriad eons and challenging countless warriors, he created the Labyrinth of Time as an illusion to test the power of those warriors and absorb their power into his own.

Transcending time and space, Chronodia chose to occupy the Chaos Shrine and summon the Warriors of Light to his domain through his mysterious, hooded servant. Churning their way through various challenges scattered across many periods of time, the Warriors of Light finally came face to face with the Lord of Time.

Chronodia took on various forms and incarnations depending on the success of warriors traversing the challenges of the Labyrinth of Time. A sphere bearing a mysterious symbol, Chronodia absorbed the power of a beautiful, green-haired goddess. He also absorbed the power of the Four Fiends and even the ultimate evil, Chaos. Using his mastery over time and space, Chronodia was able to Seal away the skills of its enemies, rendering them powerless in battle. The Warriors of Light proved their strength and truly became the heroes of legend by defeating the Master of Time in battle.

I got the impression that Garland got way more than he bargained for in the story. He starts out by just kidnapping the princess so he can have the kingdom, then suddenly 4 motherfuckers come in and wreck his shit. Then at the verge of death he's transported 2000 years in the past by the 4 Fiends, gets told that he's an immortal time paradox now and becomes the embodiment of evil. At least one of his timelines get a happy ending after Chaos is beaten.
