a special message from the creator of Final Fantasy

>>382932504
Does he actually think this, or is this just completely a joke?

>>382934334
He said the same 15 years ago. And there sure as hell haven't been a good enough FF since IX to change his opinion.

>>382934559
Alright, cool. FFX is better tho

>>382934559
XII was pretty good. Would possibly be better than IX if producers didn't demand pretty bishonen protagonist.

>>382932504
Why did he drop out of developing for consoles? I thought the last story was well received?

>>382932504
ix has always been the best in the series

>>382932504
X was the best though

I met the dude who made this video at a con a few months back. Incredibly nice dude!

>>382935294
Gameplay-wise I'd agree, but story was too much of a mess and visual design while unique was rather boring.

>>382932504
so he basically declared that he is accepting money from any publisher to praise anything

hmm... I wonder if that's aimed at nintendo, microsoft or sony

>>382934738
Oh please the problem isn't Vaan himself, it's that there's no protagonist in general. People like to say Basch could fit the role but he really fades into irrelevant after the Vossler stuff.

People like to focus on Vaan being irrelevant to the overall plot (and he is) but he's not the only one. Vaan, Penelo and Fran all contribute nothing for the majority of the story, but of course Fran always gets a free pass because people are biased towards characters they like.

>>382932504
>says 9
>holds up the asian hand symbol for 6

He's clearly showing what he really means.

>>382936235

>>382936502

>>382936476
But that's just the result of commercially shoehorning Vaan. If as supposed from the start Basch was the proper protagonist, the full focus of the story would be on him and it would revolve aroudn his actions and decisions. Introducing Vaan, created a ripple throughout the script, forcing the story to put him into spotlight, but without proper grounding his place in it, while Basch's role had to be cut down, removing his relevance to the plot at large.

>>382936914
You got a source for that or are you just parroting what you've seen others say? Because Vaan was introduced fairly early on in development.

>>382936476
Vaan is there to help Ashe not go on a psychotic murderous rampage

>>382937075
Obviously Vaan plays an important role but you try telling people that and they sperg out about "muh older protagonist" or "muh leading man"

I don't know why people obsess over that point so much anyway, Vaan is just the guy you control in towns and that's about it

>>382936631
OH SHIT

>>382937418
I mean if people REALLY want Vaan to be more important to the story they should just play Revenant Wings. Balthier outright calls Vaan the leading man in that.

>>382937568
I liked Vaan in TA2, he felt like he'd grown while still being the same old retard.

i dont want to start a new thread, so i will just ask here.
just bought Final Fantasy 15 on sale.
do the throwback DLC weapons come with new movesets or something? or are they literally just another weapon with stats in the game?

>>382936631

>>382934707

>>382936631
This makes the skit even funnier

>>382934707
What a shitty fucking opinion, FFX is fucking dogshit, i dare you to replay it and tell me otherwise

>>382936914
This shit has been copy pasted all over and it has no source, Vaan was one of the first characters introduced when they were still in the initial planning phase. He never was a last minute addition.

>>382934738
XII is great and probably my favorite entry, but I can completely understand why it wouldn't top other people's lists.

>>382934738
>XII was pretty good.
12 wasn't even about the main character

>>382934334

FFX would've been the best, had it not killed all exploration aspects and started the Final Hallway genre we have today.

Final Fantasy IX is the worst FF on playstation.

>>382942865
Your generation was barely alive. You have no valid opinions on the subject.

>>382942865
Nope, that goes to VIII.

>>382942630
It needed a far better story and characters

>>382942630
my favorite part was when we got the airship to travel around spira and come to find out it was just a loading screen and not an actual airship the player can fly around. It really was a cheap fucking experience and only the gen z will defend this terrible game.

>>382942865
Reminder that FF2 was on playstation too

>>382942865
aside from them load times you are completely wrong.

>>382943440
I'm not defending what the airship is in X but if you actually thought you'd fly it around when you got to that part then you're retarded.

VIII is definitely the worst as a game no argument but I still like it better than the other two. It has a really great OST - one of Uematsu's best IMO - and I just generally like the world's background and general atmosphere.

of course, I always knew this. You could feel the love that went into this one with the story and theme hearkening back the older games and the music being timeless baroque and renaissance.

>>382945468
>and I just generally like the world's background

Eh, the whole thing with the Sorceress War is kinda interesting but the rest of the world still feels pretty slapped together.

FFIX's music is on the level of Bach suites, no other final fantasy has even come close, that was assured when Nobuo Uematsu brought in guitars for X and eventually wrote RIDE THAT CHOCOBOOOOO.

Best OST though and minigame, summons, optional content( aside from XIV), towns and it has Balamb

Vann is brought into a conflict he can't possibly control, he is able though to influence those actually involved.

Everyone in XII is important. Vann is the main protagonist but not the main hero, and that's fine.

>>382934738
XII was trash

The Vaan hate meme was so forced and ridiculous. I think people just wanted to make up reasons to shit on 12 for being different than FFX

>>382947894
he may not have written that but the point that FF music is now garbage still stands.

>>382948694
The worst part is the Vaan hate is only going to get worse when the Zodiac Age comes out, just like how the stupid Tidus laugh came back in full force around when X HD came out.

>>382932504
XV is literally the best though tbqhwy famalamia.

What was actually wrong with IX? How is it not the favorite on playstation 1? It has everything you could ask for in a FF game, its pretty much the definitive FF game.

Thats a good comparison to be honest. People like to take things out of context and run with it and the ignorant just buy into it. FF isnt the only series to suffer this.

>>382949172
That's what I'm saying. Just because he isn't basically the sole one to influence the world doesn't mean he isn't important to the events of the game.

FF9 was just an obvious rehash of FF7 and FF8, with higher production value and cohesiveness but less charisma and creativity.

>Getting into a battle in IX
I just couldn't finish it, it's too fucking slow. Does the HD release on Steam fix it?

FF9 needs a remake to improve the battle pacing, make certain party members more viable, expand on the lore, give important characters more screen time and make the second half of the plot more coherent, and just rework the characterization overall. Only Vivi felt truly realized as a character, with the others as props or walking archetypes.

>>382949550
Why would you hate a game just because it was boring? If I play something boring I just stop playing it and never think about it again.

>>382949454
Gameplay was weaker than both materia and junction, half of the characters had no development, story arcs like the second planet came out of nowhere. I'll take back what I said, ff9 was only visually cohesive.

Zidane was inconsistent. His emotional state in the "you're not alone" sequence made no sense given the surrounding scenes. It was like the infirmary scene at the start of disc 3 in FF8 where Squall is suddenly madly in love with Rinoa.

Not him, but luckily FF as a whole isn't indicative of anything when it comes to JRPGs. Just because he doesn't like FF doesn't mean he doesn't like JRPGs, I don't get what Anime had to do with anything either.

I like PM:TTYD, PM, M&L:SS, M&L:BiS, SMRPG, Earthbound, Mother 3. I was really big on the Mario RPGs as a kid, still think the good ones are among the very best jrpgs. Mother 3 was shockingly good. Every Final Fantasy I've tried to play, and Chrono Trigger, were all extremely boring and the only thing I really always liked was the music. Often the visuals were not appealing to me, they were only technically impressive, not appealing to the eye. FF9 was the only one that was actually nice to look at. Why are typical jrpgs so bad at being FUN?

>>382934738
The expanded universe of 12 is great. 12 itself, not so mucu

>>382949827
These are same people who partake in "power level" disscussions.

I'm not trying to say XII is perfect but I enjoyed what they did with Vann. I like in stories, ans espicially jrpgs, whennthe protagonist really feels like just some random guy who is caught up in something larger then they could imagine. They're not a chosen one but tied to a conflict that has come to effect thier life.

So why do you say Mother 3 was "shockingly good" when the vast majority of these points bar random encounters apply perfectly?

Sounds to me you actually never played anything but those and think you can generalize on an entire genre by spewing empty buzzwords, especially when you refer to some mystical "Typical" JRPG, which I fear is the just usual generalized "Shit I Don't Like" label used by people who played four games in their lives.

You played nothing my man, and no matter what I bring to the table, you'll call me a hipster or a contrarian because you're too butthurt about someone pointing out that your favorite games are nothing special.
The simple fact that you call a DQ clone a game unlike any JRPG is enough of a red flag to discard your laughable opinion, have you played stuff like Metal Max, Uncharted Waters, any SaGa game or Langrisser? And that's without even going into more core series like Lunatic Dawn, Tengai Makyou, Brandishm the entire Dragon Slayer franchise or more obscure titles like Gen'ei Toshi, Vantage Master or Traverse.

You have no arguments nor any basis to discuss one, while should I waste my time with someone who thinks a game that was generic when it came out is "unlike any other JRPG"? Even Chrono Trigger brought more to the table than Mother, and that's saying something.

>using a FFV song to try and say that FFXIV has good music
nibba u dumb

IX was a bad Final Fantasy. It had absolutely terrible equipment, skill, and ability systems that allowed no room for players to shape their characters in any way. The trance system going off outside of your control was even worse designed than VIII's limit spamming. The combat was slow and boring and the only interesting mechanic AT ALL was the dynamic between Steiner and Vivi, and it didn't really add anything to the game at all. It had a terribly boring setting that's only praised by "classic fans" because it didn't emphasize sci-fi, completely disregarding that Final Fantasy has used sci-fi elements from the start of the series. Your cast consisted of characters like Freya who were completely forgotten by the plot after their usefulness to the story was up, characters like Quina who basically just showed up whenever the game felt you needed a 4th party member and didn't do ANYTHING of any relevance, and characters like Amarant who I'm still trying to figure out why he was added to the game. The protagonist and antagonist being "space alien grim reaper brothers" is by far the worst plot twist in the series, much worse than either the orphanage in VIII or "You're a dream Teedus" could ever hope to be.

The worst part of all? In a series that's known for its innovation in its genre, Final Fantasy IX bitched out and actively BACKTRACKED to boring, outdated, mechanics. At least the early games it was a callback to were innovations of their time like the ATB system in IV, and at least for the PSX titles VII, VIII, and Tactics all tried to do new things with turn-based RPGs, storytelling, and world building even if it didn't please everyone- whereas IX actively decided to say fuck that, and appeal to idiots who want video games to stagnate.

It was boring and had nothing unique going for it. In fact, nothing about the game is particularly memorable. It has no sense of identity for itself and just takes after previous titles.

Dude I'm not that original guy. I fucking love Metal Max and SaGa, both are great series. Metal Max Returns is one of my favorite jrpgs even. I just think you're shitting on mother because he said he liked it. Mother is just a solid DQ like series, they have a unique and interesting style. Just because they weren't innovative doesn't mean they were bad.

>>382950798
>Both still turned out really fun

IX? Sure. But XII? Nah man, nah. I say this as one of XII's defenders, but its story has some major pacing issues. They were running of off Matsuno's notes basically and you could tell by the end they were running out of steam and were rushing to just wrap everything up as best they could.

>>382952807
This is ironic in the literal textbook sense.

>>382952735
I played up til prehistoric area, got stuck for a bit in that area, decided I didn't want to keep playing. What I did like was the music and (somewhat) the visuals. The combat was very slow and the multi-char attacks were especially slow, while also seemingly the best. The combat also never had any weight, since it was preposterously easy. The areas weren't interesting to explore at all, I didn't feel accomplished getting new gear. NPCs weren't interesting to listen to, and the story seemed like a very by-the-numbers time travel / apocalypse cliche. Which allows for varied areas and was never done in an RPG, but it still was cliche and uninteresting to me. I thought time traveling would make a great RPG world to explore, but in reality every area was boring to explore. Often there would be a lame minigame or maybe I'd have to chase a thing through those 90° beams (future area)... Just menial tasks. Was honestly baffled the whole time I played. I had to stop playing at times so I wouldn't fall asleep.

>I just think you're shitting on mother because he said he liked it
Not really, I'm baffled someone would say it's unlike any other JRPG when it offers nothing more than a standard DQ experience but with le quirky meta message for the player.
>Mother is just a solid DQ like series
>they have a unique and interesting style
Pick one and only one.

How can you expect me to seriously respond to the absolute bullshit you posted?

>>382952652
Isn't that a bit of a moot point, since we have no clue how their modern games would've turned out if they had remained Sqauresoft?

>>382953295
I recommend trying it again. CT is only 20 hours and one of, if not, the defining game of the jrpg genre.
>>382953357
Whatever. I love DQ games and naturally I love the mother games. Mother takes everything good about DQ and gives it a unique sci fi like setting. Yeah they're not complex but they're just good fun, like DQ.

>>382953295

The tone shifts after leaving prehistory and returning to 600ad for the masamune. Think it's easy to tell when the adaptation became more like Final Fantasy than Dragon Quest.

>>382952735
WHich version of chronotrigger is recomended? DS? SNES?

>>382953656
I can still pick up where I left off (prehistoric area). Maybe the game has a slow start. I'm sure people playing in the 90s would have been more excited, since it really is technically impressive on the SNES.

>>382953809
DS. Best translation overall and some bonus content. The bonus cintent is kind of shitty I admit but it's there and not required to do. All it does is really connect CT to CC a bit more.

>>382953953
Alright thanks

>>382953808
>tone shifts after prehistory
Kek I'll laugh if I start back up from there and the rest of the game is incredible onwards. What a place to stop playing at.

>>382948967

The only thing that bothers me about IX is all the waiting. It takes like, 12 seconds from the start of a random battle transition to actually be able to act, which gets irritating after a while. Even with auto-haste, those ATB gauges aren't in a hurry to get anywhere. But those are my only real problems with it. I still think it's a good game.

>>382953843
CT is a overall pretty easy game, the only battle I died repeatedly on was the final boss, but it's more about how it seems to celebrate the genre. It does nothing absolutely insane or genre defying but it feels so well made. It just feels like something genuinely special. The entire project even started due to pure luck.

>>382940451
What skit

>>382954169
I get the sense the Square's people really loved their jobs. From SNES to PS1 to PS2, there's lots of innovation, new IPs, and tons of passionate work poured over all their games. That's why I'll at least really respect every game Square made, even if I didn't enjoy it so much. CT is one that I need to come back to now.

>>382947143

I don't know man... people have changed.

Recently there was a power Rangers rerun marathon on twitch and I was shocked at how cringy it was (chat was obv hilarious) but how did no grown up or teenager realised how cringy it was back then !?

All of this cringe shit is a consequence of our social retardedness on a massive scale. Stuff like the tides laught just can't be overlooked by highly autistic people (while it obv does not mean real autism) but muh
>I'm am so socially retardet I must be an autists XD lol

No you retard. You must leave your room.

>>382932504
I agree.

>>382958309
Nope. Uematsu is credited with that song because it counts as a rearrange of Samba de Chocobo.

from wiki:
>Some of the tracks were arranged by Ryo Yamazaki, Yoshitaka Suzuki, Kengo Tokusashi, Shootie HG, and Sachiko Miyano, and a few songs were arrangements of previous Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu's chocobo theme.

FFV > FFT > entire franchise

I played IX last and I consider it the second worst, I have no fucking clue how anybody could possibly enjoy it

>>382932504
>some has-been nip telling me his opinion like it's fact
yeah, no

>>382961561
I never got why so many people put 4 so high. I've always thought it was a poor title in about all regards.

>>382966257
>second worst
>II exists
>VIII exists
>XIII trilogy exists
You're trying too hard

The one and only thing about IX I could never get over (besides the card game) was how Garnet always brought a whole orchestra with her whenever she started singing. It was really silly when you had to wander around looking for her and the closer you got the more instruments would fade in. Like, they put a very conscious effort into it to make it even more nonsensical.

>>382967287
II is the worst hands down.
I prefer VIII by a landslide to IX for pretty much everything but the graphics.
I hated XIII but still enjoyed it more than IX, or maybe about equal.

Never played XIII's sequels so I can't tell you how I feel about those.

I seriously tried to like the game but the battle system is awful and the character building is awful. So the actual game part of the game is terrible. And while some of the event music and town music is great, the battle music in FFIX is the worst in the series aside from X-2, and you will be hearing it for 60%+ of your playtime because of how high the encounter rate is and how slow paced the battles themselves are.

>>382967287

X, XII and XV are all better than IX.

So are XI and XIV if you like MMOs.

>>382932504

Strange considering they stopped trying after 7. I don't know why IX gets so much praise, as it's one of the more boring entries. At least Zidane is likable.

Also Saggygooch is a has-been hack. Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, and The Last Story were all dull experiences.

It's a joke you dumb shits.

Listen...
2 might be, objectively, the worst FF but you still have to give it respect for how experimental it was. Without it, we wouldn't have SaGa, which is if the FF series sacrificed its stories for its gameplay. Kawazu Akitoshi, the brains behind SaGa, helped create FF after all.
