I've been very slowly working my way through VIII, it's been awhile since I last played and I don't even remember where I am in it right now. IX I actually haven't tried, but I hear good things about it, so maybe someday I'll check it out. I heard Tactics is about 50 hours long on average so that's gonna keep me busy for awhile yet

you playing the original tactics, or the advance series?

the advance series are by far my favourite FF games. so much win

Snow_Dog · « **Reply #1471 on:** September 20, 2011, 06:38:44 PM »

Starting with the original and loving it so far. I played the first Advance back when it came out, but got to some boss and kept getting utterly destroyed. Then Golden Sun 1 & 2 distracted me and I eventually forgot about Tactics Advance. I do plan on playing it again eventually though as it was indeed awesome. Would love to see a new HD Tactics made for PS3 but that would never happen.

omg, golden sun

best fucking games on the planet, imo

Play IX. It's way better than VIII

IX is a poo puddle.

There are lots of things IX isn't, including good.

My face is a pretty terrible video game, so that's not saying much.

sonatafanica · « **Reply #1480 on:** September 22, 2011, 01:35:32 PM »

IX is like the best final fantasy game

It isn't. I type with my hands, not my face.

Ryzee · « **Reply #1483 on:** September 22, 2011, 01:57:54 PM »

I can't agree that IX is the best FF, as that title belongs to VI, but it is awesome and it has the best battle music fo sho.

glaurung · « **Reply #1484 on:** September 22, 2011, 02:04:19 PM »

I like IX but wasn't really crazy about it or anything. VIII is better.

yorost · « **Reply #1485 on:** September 22, 2011, 02:31:45 PM »

VIII is finding a new enemy and keeping it alive until sucked dry of magic balls. It's like an addicting little thing you hate but can't stop doing.

ehra · « **Reply #1486 on:** September 22, 2011, 02:35:42 PM »

The first time I ever played VIII I went through the whole game just spamming GFs, never even bothered with draw. I almost beat the game that way but got stuck in the last area because everything gets disabled. I also had trouble with the fight where you have to not murder Rinoa.

I ended up restarting and playing it for reals.

wat

no

VIII has the best music, but it's a pretty mediocre game.

LieLowTheWantedMan · « **Reply #1488 on:** September 22, 2011, 03:42:37 PM »

If by mediocre you mean the greatest game ever made then yes.

AcidLameLTE · « **Reply #1489 on:** September 22, 2011, 03:44:03 PM »

The first and second time I played VIII, I thought: "Man, the story in this game is shit."

Also: "Man, this junctioning system is shit and easy to cheat".

Edit: Also, "Man, this stupid garden is the worst airship in any FF game ever"

Ryzee · « **Reply #1490 on:** September 22, 2011, 04:14:35 PM »

I've never played VIII. It always looked kind of lame to me. Sounds like I'm not missing much.

sonatafanica · « **Reply #1491 on:** September 22, 2011, 05:44:09 PM »

viii is a pretty cool game, it is very unique i would say, or at least was at the time it came out

Pols Voice · « **Reply #1492 on:** September 22, 2011, 05:49:48 PM »

IX is a lot better than VIII. Not that VIII is bad.

It's funny, I played through most of VIII before I realized I could boost the Guardian Forces' attack power by pressing the square button during their really long animations. Also, the game glitched badly during a few key battles, including the final one. That battle was an ordeal for me.

Perpetual Change · « **Reply #1493 on:** September 22, 2011, 07:18:38 PM »

top 3

VII
X
IV

bottom 3
V
VI
VIII

Everything else is just OK I guess.

Tactics is also fantastic, though not a "true" FF.

Aramatheis · « **Reply #1494 on:** September 22, 2011, 07:36:13 PM »

I'm glad you put IV in the list of top 3!
such a great game

sadly, the only main series games I've played are the III and IV DS remakes.

Otherwise I've played FFTA, FFTA2 and XII: Revenant Wings (is that a main series game?)

yorost · « **Reply #1495 on:** September 22, 2011, 07:45:56 PM »

XII: RW is not a main series game. If it isn't a numbered game with no subtitle it's a side game. However, I really thought they did a great job with XII: RW.

These are weird lists.

I didn't really enjoy RW, to be honest. It was okay, I guess. Got bored of it pretty quickly though.

Ryzee · « **Reply #1497 on:** September 23, 2011, 10:56:13 AM »

It's all about the Super NES era FF games for me, so nothing touches IV and VI (which I of course knew as II and III, being 'Merican and all). I also enjoy V because of this. I got X when I got a PS2 and it was awesome, then I went back and got VII and IX since I missed them when they originally came out because I was too busy being drunk in high school and college. You guys will probably shit yourselves over this but I've never gotten more than halfway through VII. By the time I got it I already had IX and X to enjoy so it sort of fell by the wayside. I know it's sacred to most of you but I frankly never saw what the big deal was.

yorost · « **Reply #1498 on:** September 23, 2011, 12:23:06 PM »

VII is probably loved the most from a group perspective, but the majority of fans don't even think it's the best game in the series, much less worship it.

I got to the part where you leave the big starting city then I kinda lost interest.

I should prolly have another go at VII sometime, but meh.

AcidLameLTE · « **Reply #1500 on:** September 24, 2011, 01:26:07 AM »

You should. The first disc is pretty boring but it gets good after that.

No. I tried getting into 6 a lot but it didn't work and 8 is just horrible.

I'll go ahead and be more controversial and say that I've never honestly gotten into any of the SNES games, but I think all 3 PS1 titles, and X are masterpieces.

The first disc is worse than boring, unfortunately. Some very annoying stuff on it, but yes, VII is a strong on the second half of the game, or the last 2 discs.

----------------------------

I don't get why any of you are thinking Perpetual Change's list is a joke. The only odd thing he listed is VI near the bottom, but we all probably have some uncommon opinion.

Off the cuff...

Surprising in top 3: II, III, V, maybe XIII

Surprising in bottom 3: IV, VI, VII

I, VIII, IX, X, and XII draw a lot more disagreement among fans. Seeing them really high or really low just isn't unusual.
