Faggot. II is literally the worst game. All the mechanics are fucked and it has no redeeming qualities.

It's still FF, and I had fun with it, but when I have to specifically power train MP to not constantly run out when using the magic I have to limit myself on to keep it at least somewhat useful, it's bad game design.

Final Fantasy VI also have problems, but at least i enjoyed it, FF II was interesting, i liked VII, i loved V despite being generic AF but the gameplay was nice, and i am playing FF IX, but of all the Final fantasy THAT I HAVE PLAYED, the one i hate the most is FF IV.
note: i haven't played FFXIII nor FFVIII and i know they are worse games, but i'm talking about the FF's i have played, if i have played FF XIII or FF VIII they would take that place, or at least FF XIII will because FF VIII have very divided opinions, maybe i like it if i play it but i don't know and i'm not sure if i want to know.

2. It's not up to everybody's taste, but it's a good game once you learn how the mechanics differ from more staple FF titles. Character customization was the biggest thing for me. I'm much more comfortable being able to train my party in any skills I want rather than being locked into classes.

>least favorite
6. It's just too overrated. Square gave us a lot of character building with FF5, then completely ditched that idea and locked the entire cast of FF6 into static classes a la FF4. I mean, sure, you can teach any character any spell, but they still have skill and equipment restrictions that force them into fulfilling certain functions.

The story is also one of the most bizarre in the series. Something about Spaghetti Western themes mixed with steampunk and a nihilistic omnicidal clown. It's only slightly worse than that shitty fanfic that was FF9.

>how many you've beaten
1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, plus some spin offs. Chocobo's Dungeon is a good series in its own right.

None. Gave up on SE right after the merger. That's approximately the time the series went downhill.

>hopes for the future
I'd really love a 3D VI remake a la FFIVDS, and maybe V as well. I think SE created a solid base with FFXV, so if they can build on its strengths (memorable characters, interesting world, some really good story moments near the end, great endgame dungeons) while addressing its weaknesses (empty open world, shitty hunts implementation, awful magic system, floaty and simplistic combat, far too short) then we might see a return to form for the series.
>>
>>385276439
>Literally beating yourself should not be the optimal training method.

It's not. All the remakes guarantee an HP boost after 10 battles, about the same amount of time it would take to level up and gain an HP boost in other FFs. 2 has problems, but anyone that falls for the "punch yourself in the face" meme is a goddamn idiot.

But that is why people generally don't like the game. For every criticism of "beating yourself up," I see dozens more criticisms of not being able to run and magic not being effective, neither of which is actually the case.

Sparring with your own characters is a fast way to build stats, but if you don't want to cheese the game like that, you don't actually have to do it. Just playing naturally should give you sufficient stat boosts to survive the final dungeon. Abuse of the Swap spell is also more effective than just hitting yourself.
>>
>>385276657
Its still not as fast making attacking yourself still the best method, AND you get the every 10 battles HP bonus on top of it if I rememer right.

The only meme thing about "punch yourself in the face" is that its easier to use swap on Goblins than to literally punch yourself.

You can easily get through the game without grinding. Stop being a shitter
>>
>>385275340
Be warned. In guessing you haven't played Dissidia in a long time because the new one is a lot slower and more restrictive than the old ones. It's not the same game and you can feel it. If you're expecting the fun frantic fast paced 012 be careful.
>>
>>385276868
>attacking yourself still the best method

No it's not. Swap abuse gives you pretty much guaranteed stat gains in almost every stat at once. Beating yourself up can boost HP, stamina and weapon levels quickly, but that's all it does. How are you going to train your other stats?
>>
>>385276657
It's not the HP boost that's important, it's the stamina boost that cause HP boosts to snowball that you get from losing enough HP in a single battle, which basically never happens unless you do it to yourself. Hitting yourself in the face IS the optimal way to train HP, just like draining your MP is the optimal way to train MP - it's just not necessary to do it to beat the game.
>>
>>385277119
Destroying your own HP to level up is still retarded no matter how it's accomplished. FF2 is a bad game, but it's NOT because of the stat system's flaws, it's because of almost everything else.
>>
>>385277291
Beating your self is a way to cheese the game. If you don't grind you'll have enough stats to beat the game.
>>
>>385276862
I don't like the dungeons in FF2 really.

And the dungeon design. And the world map enemy zones. And the keyword system. And the fact that Ultima is worthless. And the fucking dreadful fetch quests that the main storyline consists of.

>>
>>385277175
>Hitting yourself in the face IS the optimal way to train HP
You (or some other anon) said it was the optimal way to boost stats, not HP in specific.

>it's the stamina boost that cause HP boosts to snowball
HP and stamina aren't very important. Mid-to-late game foes start using drain attacks that shave off HP based on your max HP, and they ignore defense. Whether you have a little or a ton of HP makes no difference here. Evasion is the single most important stat in the entire game, and you can't (easily) boost it by hitting yourself.

Rydia ages because leviathan takes her to the summons home and time moves faster there.

Being the second game to emphasize characters and a character-focused plot, I assume they were going for more of a surprise factor but wanted there to be optimism too. I prefer my characters to actually be dead, but to each their own. I feel like it's done well enough to pass.

The four elemental fiends are strictly demons that Golbez uses to slow you down and potentially kill you.

I think it's great. At least in the NES version. The 3D version ruined it in 2 ways. First by making bosses give you full HP and MP after killing them, and second by making CoD way too hard. The dungeon itself is a joke in the 3D version, but you're almost sure to wipe against CoD your first time facing her because she's such bullshit. NES version is balanced better.

yeah, i know why she ages in the context of the story, it's just that the context sucks, time moves faster in the eidolon world just to have an excuse to age Rydia, the time in the eidolon world could be the same as ours and Rydia could remain as a child and the story would remain the same, there is no reason to age Rydia, so she could be more powerful? as i said before, Relm was also a child and in the span of one year she learned the most powerful spells existing, the same could apply to Rydia, the game could just tell us that she is some sort of prodigy capable to learn fast, heck Palom and Porom have the same power and arsenal as adult Rydia and they are childs too, but my point is, because the party is inconsistent is hard to feel anything about your current cast, they are going to leave anyways so why feel invested in their care, Rydia should have been the exception, after all, Cecil destroyed her home and killed her mother, this game could have the subplot that Cecil have to take care of Rydia to atone for what he did to her and Rydia learning to forgive him with the passing of time, when i first played the game my favourite character was Rydia, i had hope to her character, but all her potential was wasted when the game got rid of her just to bring her back in a Deus ex machina tier asspull "oh hi Cecil and Co, remember me i'm Rydia im adul now for no reason at all lol oh and btw i can't use white magic now but now i know more black magic and summons just in time to defeat Golbez, what a luck that elemental magic is exactly his weakness" see what i mean. and the dialogue after that fight is no much better, they butchered what was supposed to be an emotional moment with, "oh hi Rydia, i though you died, wanna come to our team?" "yeah why not".

X, I hate that shit. Also XI and XIV because I'm not really interested in MMOs, so if they are really good games, it's my loss.

All of them except for XII and Lighting Returns.

Hopeless. After Dissidia NT and VII remake, Square Enix doesn't know what to do with the IP anymore. XV turned out to be mediocre.

V. I'm not a juge fan of characters that come and go constantly, I'm happy with a team of four bros doing their thing together from start to finish. Well, for the most part anyway. Plot is generic but I couldn't give less of a shit, it gave me some nice moments (Galuf, Gilgamesh) and it feels like you're on an adventure, that's all I'm asking for.
If we're counting spin-offs, I love FFT. The job system is also a major reason V made my dick hard so I was ecstatic when I started the game without knowing anything about it and seeing it was there. Other than that it's fairly similar to Tactics Ogre which I love to death.

>List your least favorite
II but I don't even hate it, it tried some things and didn't do them all that well. Doesn't make the game unplayable, at least on the newer ports. The one thing I really hate is how the fourth character will almost always be shit because he keeps fucking dying and the game gives you a new one who doesn't have shit for spells and is generally inferior to the rest of the party. Leon got his shit kicked in constantly at the end of the game, really annoying.
Again, if we're counting spin-offs, fuck Crisis Core, fucking hate this game. Everyone keeps praising the music but most of the time you hear the horrible fucking metal music they throw at you during fights. Gameplay-wise it's annoying, it doesn't know what the hell it wants to be, it's an action RPG but it kept some stupid shit from the turn-based games like those undodgeable, unblockable attacks bosses throw at you. They just trigger a cutscene and you watch Zack get his shit kicked in. Then you get up, heal and you go back to backstabbing every enemy and/or spamming ice spells on stationnary enemies, big fucking deal. Don't get me started on the slot machine shit. Fuck this game.

>How many you've beaten
I, II, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, Type-0, Crisis Core, Dissidia, Tactics.

Going from Ramza to Vann is depressing to say the least.

The novelty of it starting trends that just happened to stick do not make it inherently good. It's a shitty game that aged like milk and everybody needs to accept this.

I wanna get into FFV. Which platform does it play best on? I believe there is a SNES, GBA version, as well as a smartphone remake, which is also the pc version?

honestly felt too easy. Wiegraf kicked my asshole in half a dozen times, but I shit on Ultima in one go.

The balance in that game goes to hell in the later half.

then dont use dont use orlandeau

>>385281842
The problem with the whole feymarch time thing is it was supposed to show how Rydia grew as a person, and how she interacts with the monsters themselves, who seem to treat her as family and vice versa. The obvious problem was they didn't show it. It should've been the one thing they actually added to the DS Remake. Nope here's a random Pokemon for Rydia and here's a pointless scene with the main 3 being kids so Golbez can be named after Roosevelt.

Who knows how it would've been, SE has completely mishandled Rydia's character in basically everything since getting the massive boner for 4.
>>
>>385290119
After just finishing the game, I can agree with that. Even Wiegraf is too easy if Ramzas BRV is too high. I killed him in one turn with Two Swords.

>>385290168
There's a million things that break the game unfortunately besides Orlandeau. It's all in the ability combinations.
>>
>>385290168
He's not even the most busted in game. Calculators with Black Magic are.

He's EZ modo, but by the end you pretty much have a rapesquad preped and ready anyways. His sword is massive bullshit in general, so even Agrias can basically be mini Orlandeau if you wanted.

so then if you wanted a bigger challenge, dont use an overpowered team. fft has a fuck ton of customization, so you can still make something viable without being overpowered.

/v/ has this terrible habit of judging super old games with modern standards. IV was a trend-setter of modern JRPG, a gorillion of the things people usually complain about IV actually originated on IV. There's a reason Japan loves IV so much, because for it's time, it was revolutionary in many aspects.

I can play through this game a million times over and not get bored

>>385290568
>the remake bonus dungeons are dumb
They're fucking stupid but I kind of enjoy them because of that, they could get really goofy sometimes. 40 floors (for the FFVI one if I remember correctly) was definitely overkill though, it overstays its welcome after a while.

>>385290740
yeah, thats what i love about fft. party customization is through the fucking roof and i wish there were more SRPGs like it

If Rydia had remained a child but somehow also became super duper strong just like that you'd be complaining instead about how much of an asspull that is instead.

Complaining about that is as stupid as complaining about Relm learning ultima when she is still 11 years old, you didn't even readed my post right? If the game give me time to know and care about Rydia then i wouldn't mind because i can see her progression throughout the game and it would feel natural, besides there is Palom and Porom and i didn't complained about them.
