Agreed. This game feels like it was rushed or something. It is FFXV before FFXV, except FFXV has it worse.

Sons of Liberty versus Snake Eater just comes down to personal preference, Guns of the Patriots is taking the franchise, putting it on a motorcycle and sending that motorcycle speeding 100 mph off a cliff infested with radioactive sharks at the bottom.

The only redeeming thing it has going for it is the final boss fight with Liquid Ocelot.

>Guns of the Patriots is taking the franchise, putting it on a motorcycle and sending that motorcycle speeding 100 mph off a cliff infested with radioactive sharks at the bottom.

I would argue 3 was the one to do this because the series became about MUH MARY SUE THE BOSS because of it
>>
>>382754097
Not really, Snake Eater just gave background on Big Boss' character while being its own thing. It's good campy fun.
MGS4 was going to be a train wreck by virtue of taking place after MGS2, the ambiguous nature of that game was done on purpose and you can tell Kojima did not plan to make a sequel to it at all and when he did we got this.

>Not really, Snake Eater just gave background on Big Boss' character while being its own thing. It's good campy fun.

It also deified The Boss (which was later exacerbated by the masturbatory Eva tapes in peace walker) who would go onto shit up the series harder than anything else.

I also agree that MGS4 was a mistake in that it fucked up MGS2 but it had the virtue of having solid snake as the lead, a more compelling character than big boss

>>
>>382754724
I don't disagree but that's more a Peace Walker issue (another game I don't care for) than one in Snake Eater.
I feel there is a very noticeable decline post Snake Eater in the writing and characterization the series took, the first three Solid games are all amazing and while 2 is my favorite of the bunch I could see someone making a case for any of them but what happened after is just sad. Almost reminds me of Final Fantasy.

Chrono Cross is the story of an overabundance of nothing, the epitome of quantity over quality. Over 40 characters, yet no characterization. 2 worlds (and some between-dimension stuff), yet nothing worth seeing. 12 endings, yet no satisfaction. Multiple plot viewings, yet nothing compelling. 30 - 60 hours of playing, yet nothing worth your time. It’s packed to the brim with plot details to the point that it’s almost as bafflingly convoluted as Xenosaga 3, and they all just add up to a story that does little and says even less. It’s packed to the brim with promising concepts like travel across dimensions, a future that forcibly guides its own past, and lost timelines that aren’t willing to disappear without a fight, but its pacing, general explanation style, and overcomplicated bumbling cause them all to be a confused mess of poorly assembled parts instead of a smooth narrative machine. It’s packed to the brim with party members, but can’t be bothered to give any depth or relevance to 90% of them (and the few characters the game does actually pay attention to are crappy, to boot), and just simulates individuality for them with one of the worst storytelling ideas ever conceived. It’s got all kinds of great established characters and ideas it can borrow from its widely beloved predecessor, yet everything it does to connect to Chrono Trigger seems dissatisfyingly tangential (even when those connections are an integral point of CC’s core plot!), and often it seems to just use those pre-existing concepts for the sake of destroying them (Robo was on screen for, what, 45 seconds before he was unceremoniously killed off?).

As a sequel to one of the greatest RPGs ever created, Chrono Cross is a horrible disappointment. But even on its own merit, it’s just outright awful, a rotten mess of incompetence and meaninglessness bound together by one of the most tangled and poorly executed plots I’ve encountered.

>>382756405
well we can start with the elephant in the room, the FLUDD which severely reduced precise platforming in the majority of the game, then we have other problems like limited levels, the fucking blue coins, and fucking fruit mechanics for the yoshis

I played 9 after 6, 10, 12, 7, 8, 4, and 5. Even Sakaguchi agrees 9 is the best, it's also the highest rated FF game (or second highest next to 6, which I consider the best 2D FF game)

FLUDD was a cool one off idea to make the platforming easier. It takes away challenge but it's not a huge deal.

What do you mean? Like a small number of levels to choose from?

They're only annoying if you really want to collect every shine. Also not a huge deal unless you have autism and NEED to complete it.

I don't see the problem.

Those also constitute less than 10% of the missions, most of them have you doing stuff like extinguishing Piantas or cleaning a beach.
Sunshine does one thing well which is movement but almost none of the levels actually have you using it.

One of the non FLUDD levels is the Chuckster stage.

Persona 5 and Chrono Trigger.

FF8 at least tried to do something different. Both the Junction system and the story were something you would either love or loathe (and the possibility of loving both at the same time is extremely narrow).

That said, 9 is just generic, dull drivel. Anyone who thinks 9 is anything more than "meh," is not someone who is worthy of respect.

As someone who actually really loves 8, but can see why others would loathe it, 8 was better than 9, and 10 was better than 9. 9 is better than 12, 13, and 15, but that's not much of an accomplishment, considering Drakengard 2 is also better than those games.

This. I literally have the game sitting on my shelf, and a save file where I am right outside of Trance Kuja's fight (and I beat that worthless hidden blacksmith, too). I've been there since around 2000. I was just so bored with the game, I ejected it and have never felt the urge to complete it, even though more than a decade and a half has passed. I've never done that with any other game I've purchased.

Wrong.
The group dynamic between Zidane, Steiner, Garnet and Vivi is amazing. You see the relations between those four characters grow and evolve over the course of the game with Steiner thinking Zidane nothing more than a lowly thief at the start and then coming to respect him at the end.

Eiko and Quina are also good comic relief characters, the only weak characters are Armarant and Freya.

Not who you were responding to, but just try beating D2 on Extreme Difficulty, where 3 hits from the first enemy in the game will kill a level 99 character (presuming they aren't weak to the attack). Then realize that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of characters per level, and you are capped at SIX healing items (presuming you can afford them) per level.

Beating that game was a fucking badge of honor, and an absolute blast. The story was stupid as fuck, and the cast were fucking idiots that you would hate to listen to.
>>
>>382759728
You're kidding yourself if you really think Freya is better than Quina or not on the same level as Amarant

Yeah maybe if the romance between the hyperactive turboslut and the guy who wants to kill himself 24/7 didn't take up the majority of the plot, and if everyone else wasn't an annoying retard who fell out of relevance after the first disc.

Top tier
4 5 6 7 9
Good tier
1 8 10 12
Ok tier
2 3 15
Lighting tier
13

9 is my favorite though because I prefer set classes and a high fantasy/medieval setting compared to 6 7 and 8's more modernish settings
>>
>>382760030
Yeah, but art direction in XII was surpassed by budget games. For being so open, XII really felt closed off.

Also, you could literally beat pretty much everything in that game by using Stamp. Just that Bosch (I think that's his name), slap a shit ton of maladies on him, and then have him use stamp. Done.

The artstyle in XC2 is great though, at least better than XC1. What you're complaining about is character design with that picture (which is also better XC1 so I'm not sure where you're going)

If you guys are too autistic to understand other people have different tastes thats on you
4 5 9 are the my top 3 in the franchise because they had real equip systems and less tech heavy worlds and with 4 and 9 having set classes instead of everyone doing being able to do everything
I also find 9's enemies to have the best variance and like pretty much all the zones

15's biggest problem was being ""rushed"" out the door before it was ready
>>
>>382760102
She gets some good scenes but she only ever has anything to do with Burmecia and Cleyra, which amounts to a couple of hours of game time max and broken up by pickle shenanigans

The main 4 are relevant and consistently well written from the opening scene to the ending with the exception of Steiner becoming a bit of a background character once disc 4 hits and he's completed his arc by becoming Zidane's most loyal ally next to Vivi

Quina starts off looking like just a comic relief character but does that role well enough that I found s/he a worthy addition and becomes pretty relevant for parts of disc 2 and 3, mostly by acting as a strangely down to earth personality for other characters to bounce their issues on and ultimately come to a realization through

Amarant is always shit on for joining late and not getting much development but I don't think he's a particularly bad character, just underutilized. He's also a based as fuck party member who always gets a spot in the end for me.

That's because you have subpar taste and can't comprehend fantasy applies to any kind of setting, and the dichotomy of magical creatures and modern tech peacefully coexisting is really breathtaking when done right like FF8 did. Esthar was basically the game's Atlantis and its design was superb.

Also, most of the towns, be them advanced or classical look gorgeous.
>>
>>382761853
XV is probably the worst FF to date. I can't say for certain, as I've only played 6 onward, and skipped the online FFs. But, in my experience XV is the absolute worst, and that's an accomplishment, looking at 9, 12, and 13.
>>
>>382761804

>>382762103
>no reason to bother

the optional main story dungeons (not the post games shitstain) and pitioss are both great
>>
>>382761804
No it doesn't, because those parries are literally entirely optional in regular battles, and they are only things you have to do like 5 indivdual times out of the entire game otherwise.

Regular combat has you make use of things like shields to manually deflect and block enemies based on timing, which has nothing to do with the parry indicator or button prompts.

>>382761945
No FFXV is by far the best FF to date in every aspect. I doub't you've even touched it, and are just talking out of your ass.

Just admit you havn't even touched XV already, there is objectively more interactivity in XV than any other FF, it also has the best dungeons in the series too.

I have a love hate relationship with VIII.

I like the premise.
I like the setting.
I like the characters.
I love the soundtrack, and it's one of the strongest in the series in my opinion. Easily top five soundtracks.
And any FMV sequence featuring Edea made my little 10 year old brain and penis feel funny, which probably explains why I get rock hard by evil which bitches later in life.

But the combat is just so fucking awful.
Crafting weapons is awful.
And while the narrative was actually pretty damn strong throughout the first disk, everything after Squall gets iced by Edea just feels fucking bizarre and not in a fun way, and it quickly took a nose dive. It was one of the strongest first acts to a Final Fantasy...Then everything that followed was just needlessly convoluted, confusing, and dumb.

First of all parries only show up on specific attacks, not all of them, even if holding guard there he'd still have been hit because you can't avoid everything just from holding.

Second of all you are objectively wrong because you said there is no 1hit KO attacks when there is and I showed you one.

Pretty much my status too. I was hoping they'd make a 3D console game with the 150 (or 250 from G/S) but it's taken them until the Switch to do that. And now there's what, 850 porkmen, half of which have really reachy shit designs? I feel like their only responsible option is to cull back and make some radical remakes of some of the older games, not Fire Red or Leaf Green style.

>we were comparing art styles,
Yes, and who gives a fuck about the innards of a tree with some bridges? Been there done that with the Deku Tree. Uninspired hollow tree, whoopty doo. There's no room to show off a proper art style when it's just a tree.

XBC1 had some nice vistas when you can see the other Bionicle, but that's about it.

>>382764329
Seeing as you've never played it not sure why anyone should take your words seriously. XV is the best FF yet and you can't even refute that.

How? That's like saying because enemies can cast doom on you in other FFs that those are unbalanced.

considering nopon village looks better than anything from 12, you're wrong

I mean I could easily post one of the non-town environmental areas to compare with FF12, but that would be like doing a boxing match with a baby

>>382764604
No, he tried to act like he was still in the right and that it's somehow a bad thing that you can get 1 shot now, he tried to move his goalposts while pretending to still be in the right. It only showed how petty he is.

You really need to stop making these accusations. I'm tired of taking a slightly different screencap from my iPhone and sending it to my email address so that I can post it here.

I'm too lazy to do it again (already did it once this thread), so I'm doing it with one of my old images.

You really need to stop acting as if because you posted some PSN profile with FFXV trophies that somehow validates you https://boards.fireden.net/v/search/image/hVnM-4jVuaXzgZ0rrEsJJA/

First of all there is no proof that you actually played it, nor is there proof that isn't just someone else you knows account that you are pretending is yours just so you can win an internet argument. Your clear ignorance surrounding anything about the game already shows you have no clue what the fuck you are talking about, which someone who has played it wouldn't be as ignorant as you are showing to be.

>>382764738
No he backpedaled after getting proven wrong and now you're defending him.

Yeah. It just happens to be a PSN profile that I have access to, and can post screenshots from mere minutes ago. Obviously this means that I have a friend that, at 440 am, is giving me his phone or texting me a screencap, so that I can lie about a game that I have a vendetta about.

>No he backpedaled after getting proven wrong and now you're defending him.
I didn't backpedal. I ignored your claim that I didn't admit that you were right. It's also theoretically possible to fall into a cliff in Super Mario Bros 1-1, but you're a fucking retard if you do. But congrats, you are technically correct.

Yeah because apparently knowing someone who has beat FFXV must be hard, not like a roomate or sibling could have done it and you are just trying to use their account as your own so you can shitpost online. You are obviously counting on the fact that no one would actually stoop that low as your cover because you are actually that fucking pathetic that you would stoop that low.

And yes you did backepdal, you get called out and then you pretended as if it's somehow a bad thing that you can get 1hit ko and that you must be shit for that to happen.

I just literally admitted that you were technically correct. If that's backpedaling, fine. I backpedaled. You're still a retard if you die in XV. Like, so retarded that your game skills are on worse than a 3 year old girl's.
>>
>>382765272
>Render the protagonist useless because he must spend every fight failing to steal the good shit and trying to build up that thievery count
That's your problem, not the game's. There's nothing forcing you to waste all of Zidane's turns stealing and trying to rack thievery up to 9999.
>>
>>382765363
>>382765462
A top 3 which is missing tactics is not respectable.

>This autism.
XV-kun, you're on here like 8+ hours per day, every day, ready to defend FFXV. Do you ever socialize at all, or is this it? Because, just by reading your posts, I can tell you that I wouldn't hang out with you if I had the option. Hell, if you would be so kind to tripfag, I think you'd find yourself blocked by the majority of /v/.

If you are that insufferable on here, an anonymous image board, that people can literally pick out who you are, then you must be just as bad in the real world. That doesn't dull my annoyance with you even slightly, but it does make me pity you.
>>
>>382765913
I haven't gotten around to playing tactics yet.
>>
>>382765913
I heavily despise the sRPG genre due to the abundance of RNG in the gameplay mechanics
>>
>>382765891
There's nothing forcing me to use any of the mechanics. True.
I don't even need to use "attack" if I don't want to.
Truly a deep and thoughtful masterpiece.
>>
I really like the first act of IX where the party gets split up but I feel like they gave up trying to reunite them in a meaningful way so they just went with "Here's a teleporter that will take you straight to Garnet!"
>>
>>382765913
>>382765953
>>382765979
I'm playing Tactics for the fourth time in my life. I've yet to sink more than 5 or so hours into it. Just a lot of reading and trial and error for me to figure out the best plan of attack. Gets boring fast.
>>
>>382766141
It's probably not a game for idiots.
>>
>>382766141
welcome to sRPGs, I gave up on that genre after trying FE 3 times, tactics 2 times, and Xcom twice. It's just RNG shit
>>
>>382765462
Story was awkward as fuck in 7 and the graphics looked fucking mutilated. Gameplay was okay at best, but that is not enough to fill the gaps.
>>
>>382765483
>I'm married and live with my wife, anon. Nobody else.
Assuming this is true, this still doesn't prove shit.
You're a retard if you die in any FF, so stop fucking pretending as if you only "can't die" in XV when you can prevent dying in any FF as long as you have enough items.
>>
>>382766251
What's wrong with 7's story?
It's a pretty decent dystopian cyberpunk mixed into usual JRPG bullshit story.
>>
>>382766189
What's your IQ?
>>
>>382765948
Speaking of autism, you act like it isn't just as easy to spot when you shitfucks post the same shit against XV.
>>
>>382765983
Using the mechanics is one thing, purposefully wasting all of Zidane's turns on steal so you can get all the boss items and max out thievery, then bitching about it like its the game's fault is another.
>>
>>382766326
But that's wrong, you retard. Plenty of people die fighting Emerald and Ruby Weapon in 7, Ultima/Omega in 8, some of those optional created bosses in X, and some of the hunts in XII.

Can't speak to 13 because I haven't played it.

Name one Non-DLC boss that can and likely will kill you the first time you fight it in XV.
>>
>>382766493
Who else is going to steal that shit?
No one else can.
Or are you trying to say I should just ignore a bad part of the game when I'm forming an opinion of it?
>>
>>382766597
XV-kun certainly seems to think so.
>>
8 had some massive flaws with the junctioning system and level scaling being beyond broken. Some stupid asspull plottwists like everyone forgetting growing up in same orphanage until convenient moment in a world where nobody else shows any signs of gf memory loss.

9 had really bad performance and slow combat. Little customization for characters... silly low steal chances.

10 had poor illusion of choice for the whole of pilgrimage. You just kept walking the line and watching unskippable custscenes. Too grindy end game content for the autists.
>>
>>382766941
I honestly feel like 7 had the best story of those four and the least problems too.
The only way it is worse is the graphics.
>>
>>382766597
I'm saying that you should stop caring about stealing everything, unless you're going for 100% there's no point, I stopped stealing altogether halfway through because the things just weren't even worth it anymore, and even when I was stealing, I was only doing it for a few turns and then just stopping because I didn't want boss fights to become FFVIII drawing for Zidane.

>>382766697
>XV-kun
>defending anything other than XV
What alternate reality did you come from?
>>
>>382767081
And I'm saying that even if I ignore it, the design is still deeply flawed.
>>
>>382767081
If one expects you to ignore the fact that you can just counter through the entirety of the game, why can't you ignore the fact that you have to grind your steal skill?
>>
>>382767152
Do you think he knows what a fucking joke he is?
>>
>>382767130
I don't see how its deeply flawed, It works basically the same as any other FF, except bosses have more than one item in IX, and each item has a lower and lower chance to steal it.

>>382767152
>If one expects you to ignore the fact that you can just counter through the entirety of the game
What? I don't even remember a counter skill in IX.
>why can't you ignore the fact that you have to grind your steal skill?
Because that's blatantly false.
