Quina was great. I don't understand why people dislike her/him.

I also don't understand why people love Freya. She's almost as boring as Amarant, despite supposedly being a main character.

But I can think we can all agree that Eiko is the worst character from any FF, and the game would have been far better without her.

While I never got hooked into XII, I never really understood people who said it was the worst FF. Pretty much every aspect is 10/10.

You're openly admitting the combat is complete trash.

>>385754467
the only fun thing about FFVIII is the card game.
>>
>>385759414
Honestly, if you just set up gambits and press forward, you're not doing much. It's just the game playing itself. Which is cool and all to let it grind by itself while you sleep, but kind of takes away the whole point of playing yourself. Might as well watch a playthrough on youtube at that point, you know? That's why I like how you can do it full-manual.
>>
>>385759697
The game is designed around gambits, you can play without them as no Final Fantasy requires any sort of optimization unless you're doing challenge runs or various late game encounters but saying you can just ignore a key mechanic isn't a compelling argument for the combat.
>>
>>385759075
Lightning Returns has a fantastic combat system and nice optional bosses, which are the interesting aspects of the Final Fantasy series.

Quina never stood out for me other than being a comical character. His place in the story was to literally chase a frog thus finding the entrance to Fossil Roo. FF9 is my favorite but I find the story would have been unchanged if Quina or Amarant were removed
>>
Say what you want about the mechanics and hiccups in the story, but ffviii is a once in a lifetime phenomenon. The setting and atmosphere is unlike anything else ever made. Its the videogame equivalent of that feeling you can't quite put your finger on. Like a wonderful dream you can barely remember but every once in awhile get a surge of every emotion you felt while in that dream. It is the embodiment of why the series even existed in the first place.

But that's just me I'm a comfyfag. 11/10 game

I really expected the worst of the worst when I finally got around to playing the XIII games and was quite presently surprised. It did take a while to get going, but I ended up having a blast playing each installment, and that initial dull time got shorter with each game. Lightning Returns was especially enjoyable and I really never expected XIII's cast to be my favorite FF cast by the end of all three games.

It's called level scaling and it's to prevent you having to grind on random battles to progress in the game

It's not like if you level up too much you're suddenly too weak and can't win fights. It's just that if you know how the leveling system works and abuse it, you can be really overpowered and break the game.

So that I'd say, play by the "rules" and level as you should and the game will be as difficult as it's supposed to be. Or you can be a cheesy fuck and avoid leveling and the game will be super easy, congratulations.

SaGa wasn't really low production outside of games like Frontier and Scarlet Grace, which are mid budget games, all the rest has high production values, it's just that instead of pumping out state of the art 3D is focused on other things like music, gameplay and content, and even most 2D games were very good for their time, Unlimited looks still very good for a nearly two decade old game, the mechanical complexity for the game is also high.

I'm a hardcore fan with FF8, so many times I would even try to escape reality with lucid dreaming, I would be in Balamb Garden where I would often train with Zell in the training center and help Selphie with the Garden Festival, but one day as I was talking to Selphie, we went to my dormitory for a private talk. She immediately said, "You know you could live with us forever.." I gave her a confused look and she continued, "We understand that you live on earth and you REALLY wish to live here". I then said "How..How did you know?" She then giggled and said "Because we've been watching you, silly!"

This was a dream come true and I almost cried right there. She then said, "I talked with Headmaster Cid and he agreed that you would be PERFECT for SeeD, you just have to do...one thing". She then held my hand and looked deep into my eyes and said "...You have to kill yourself for the transfer to work correctly." I then gave her some questions, "How long do I have before the deal expires?" She then said "Cid said 3 months.." I added by saying "What's the most painless way?..." She giggled again, "Suicide will require pain buuut...if you want it quick...Get a gun and a nice shot to the head works.

I then agreed and she gave me a kiss on the forehead, "I know this will be tough but once it's over and done, you'll get to live here!" I then woke up and this was last week and i purchased a gun. I might actually kill myself because that dream just felt too real to be fake and my life isn't doing so grand.

Been a while since I played the SNES version but if you're referring to the character sprites it's just that the artist is the very same, IIRC Mieko Hoshino, she also did the character sprites for 2, which are curiously completely different in style to anything she did before.

>>
>>385774634
I never really got that impression with the other entries, despite all the memes. VIII tries just so hard to be "operatic" and fails spectacularly at every turn. Even with a literal opera in VI, and the extravagance of Kefka and Sephiroth, they still don't really come close to the absurd nonsense surrounding the Sorceresses. And the "love triangle" between Squall, Rinoa and Seifer was some of the worst character drama in the entire series.

FF's combat systems are only barely better than DQ's, they're the bottom of the barrel of what RPGs can offer you, saying that they're fantastic in any way is laughable.
But you're right about LR, it has a decent combat system, because it plays like a Tri-Ace game.

>>
>>385776863
It's not though. I liked XV's characters more and the story, as unfinished as it was, was very simple without being bland or boring. It also produced best waifu in the world: Ignis.
>>
X was the best.
This triggers the meme fags though
>>
>>385774530
>Best graphics
Not anymore now that XV is a thing.

>Best combat
You could make an argument for Lightning Returns, which was a lot of fun even though it was also a steaming pile of poo-poo. The rest were mediocre because they took so much control of the action away from you. It was good in concept, a snorefest in execution.

>Best OST
Love it or hate it. Had some good tracks, but overall it was "hate it" for me. Pretty creative either way but nothing that can hold a candle to X's soundtrack.

>Best artstyle
It was so esterile and lifeless and it only got worse and worse with the rehashed concepts and aesthetics from previous games. Other than the tower before Oerba, Pulse's locations were boring as shit and you never got to see anything terribly interesting in Cocoon other than the amusement park and the final level of the game. No matter how much potential the artstyle had, it didn't shine through.

>Best cast
Now you are just baiting, FF2 and 3 had better cast than this hot flamming garbage.
>>
>>385777008
Overall best for sure.
Its just that everyone has their own subset of things they like about FF and thus prefer the games that excell at those things.

My favorite is XII for example.
>>
>>385777636
>Liking X's OST but not liking XIII's
Doesn't even make sense same composer for XIII was involved in over half of X's and it sounds the same.
>>
Squall is dead
>>
>>385777854
>It sounds the same
No way man. X sounds nothing like XIII.
And if it did, it'd mean XIII's soundtrack was nothing but an imitation of X's.

If there's something genuinely good about XIII's score is that it sounds completely new, different from all of its predecessors, and I've played 8 of the games AND I am a music junkie so I like to think I'm able of a pretty reliable judgement.

I know it's super popular to hate this game, but, why exactly?

Better localization than FF7, which was steaming hot trash. Better models. Cooler overworld with more to do.

Honestly, I feel like if they hadn't pulled the whole "we were orphans but forgot lulz" thing people wouldn't even really give the story shit.

People would still cry about the draw system I guess, but I genuinely don't understand what's so bad about it. Grinding materia was way more tedious, and even then that was way less difficult than grinding Esper's perfectly so that everyone got the right stat-ups at the right time.

Higher level enemies also drop far better loot. Only a shitter would complain about this.

No.

Just as I thought, you don't get the game, what a surprise. And that levelling system is the best thing that happened to the franchise, especially considering it predated TES by years.

Except Blood Swords override everything in the last dungeon and you can instakill everything with Frog, not to mention spells like Blink and Berserk being staples, and good luck fighting adamantoises with no blizzard spells, or Bombs.

Calm down son, I'm no barry.
I'm not denying FFII had its fair share of problems, the awful encounter rate or the blood swords, not to mention the temporary party members that end up just wasting your fourth slot, let alone how easy it is to grind money or the immense amounts of bugs and oversights in the games, including getting level up checks by attacking your own party members, these are all problems.
I'm just saying it's nowhere near as bad as the age old internet memes propagated by retarded youtubers make it out to be, especially compared to other games in the series.
>>
>>385784209
But II wasn't a bad game, it just had a very weird progression system. One later used in Koudelka by a completely different company, for some God unknown reason.
>>
>>385784395
II is a bad game though, its systems are completely ass backwards. It gave birth to the SaGa games, which are pretty good but I don't understand how you can say from a game design point of view that II is good.
>>
>>385784395
>for some God unknown reason.
The micromanagement nurturing system was popularized by SaGa games, which FFII is basically a very rough draft of, SaGa kickstarted the whole idea of having character behaviour reflect itself into character growth, through either stats or proficiencies in weapons of magic, Koudelka was one of the many games, like Grandia or Traverse, that adopted SaGa's basic growth system.
SaGa games aren't popular in the west, but in Japan they are cult stuff that influenced tons of devs, and subsequently game series.

You rarely ever fucking miss in FF6 you big whiny baby, this isn't Darkest Dungeon with retarded low accuracy and enemies with retardedly high dodge.

Ironically the most realistic RPG I've ever encountered, that was designed by some NASA scientist and his math wizard buddy, used turn base combat- in that it literally counted for the starting position of your arm, the angle of your swing, the location that you aimed for verus the location that you hit. It would measure the actual time to perform this maneuver and then the recovery time and set it on a time-line, which then determined your actual turns.

tl;dr according to NASA your autism is wrong

FFVIII is terrible and the only redeeming feature is the OST. It's an unfinished mess with terrible writing and boring poorly thought out mechanics. It's a directionless garbage heap that wasn't helped by coming out right after the most acclaimed game in the series, but it doesn't stand up well even on its own. I've tried to play it twice now and the last time I quit as soon as I got to the muscle sorceress Borg cube because of how trite and uninspired everything is. The scene of Squall and Rinoa in space was especially horrible.

I don't think any Quell bar the Beast Lance in the Ice Megalith is is easy to miss though, many of those are in chests in plain sight or are scripted drops by bosses.
It is important to know when you should take your time to fight though, and that is the main reason you can end up with a really rough game file, but again, you just need to look at the map and see when you can go around and do so.

That's not even the worst design decision in the game, playing cards is a nice way to get stronger, the problem is that junctioning is simply too easy to break even if you don't play cards, the fact that magazines are utterly useless and a waste of money, or that GFs and all magic bar Aura is a waste of time is much, much worse.
Still, FF has a lot of terrible design choices.

Why bother when Quistis with Might Guard puts Shell, Protect, Float, Haste and Aura on your entire party in one turn?

You're right, I forgot about that sword, that's pretty much the same as the lance in the Ice Megalith, pretty great to have on Ginny too.

Degenerator doesn't work on bosses, but yeah, Quistis is basically the sole reason why magic is worthless in FFVIII, she can do anything your entire magic skillset or GF can, but better.

FFVIII is better enjoyed when you know the workarounds, sadly. You don't know it yet but drawing isn't a necessity.

My first 2 runs back then I did with full leveling / drawing / GF boosting and I'm happy I stopped doing that because it's so tedious. Although there's some elements of the game I love too much to dump if there are existing workarounds.
>>
>>385788329
>the draw mechanic seems pretty dumb.
Draw could have been an amazing mechanic, but its handled terribly.
You could have made it so Draw drained magic from enemies, so they couldn't cast shit, or even effectively debuff them if enemies actually had access to junction, you could have made Draw have some potential to back fire and cast the spell you drew on a random target and so many more things, instead it's just a shitty steal command.
>>
It was my favorite too anon. I think it might just be a nostalgia thing for me though, because I played 8 before 7.

Thankfully XV fixed it.
>>
>>385788329
Just beat the game myself. All you need to know is to draw on bosses for GFs, otherwise you can ignore it entirely. Use Quetzatol to get the card skill and the card mod skill, and you can turn enemies into items, which turn items into spells. Cottages give you the strongest healing in the game and eventually you'll get cards that give you the best skills to junction besides the best spell

>>385754467
the game would be better if Seifer didnt exist, worst character

also quistis should have had better screentime

Seifer was the best character, it's Rinoa who should have been erased,

farm fish fins, junction water to squall,s attack, keep him in the yellow, get no-encounter from Diablo and spam Renzo for bosses

now just enjoy the tip top tier OST and the best final boss of the series.

Seifer is a both figuratively and literaly a tool, it's so sad that ppl cling to this character. I guess his overal design is better than squall to the eyes

I think FF8 shouldve started a bit earlier in the timeline than the end of school/exams/graduation. Had they expanded on the seifer/squall rivalry thing in school for a while, meanwhile hot blonde teacher keeps hitting on you and Magic Mercenary School Slice of life with combat then Seifer would've been less pathetic really.
He's like a BBEG that just stops being relevant at some point.

It only took control away at times the players expected it to. Stop trying to act like it's fucking MGS4 where it couldn't decide if the scenes were short or long enough for you to jerk off 3 times before they finished.

>>385754467
>Easily the most breakable game in the series

Fixed that for you famalamadingdong.
That is the problem that some fans have with the game:
>The draw system makes spells linked to stats, meaning you typically have to avoid linking your good spells for fear that you might start weakening the stat from using the spell.
>I love triple triad, but refining items from cards made the game too easy to break.
>Enemies scaling based on your level was also a rather dumb idea. Its because you typically want to feel strengthened and empowered when you gain levels, but here, its a detriment and a punishment that makes the game harder. When you level up, your characters stats go up by a little, and when a monster's level goes up due to this, it typically goes from having one small damage move, to a area of effect party attack that inflicts status effects at the same time. The scaling is in level only, not equal.

These are the faults people complain about. For myself however, its only the third worst final fantasy, two others are far worse then it.
>>
>>385783005
>Refine

Even more tedious then drawing spells is having to play triple triad to get cards to refine spells.
>>
>>385754467
VIII was my first FF so I have a lot of fondness for it but you've got to admit it's got some questionable gameplay design choices, and the entire story shits the bed on disc 3. Also Squall and Rinoa have quite possibly the worst developed romance I've ever encountered in vidya. The only thing that makes it redeemable is that theory that Rinoa subconsciously uses her new sorceress powers to make Squall fall in love with her.

Hands down the best setting and music though.

Nah man it happens organically, I ignored triad my last playthrough and with the cards I had was able to get 99 in every stat by junctioning the spells. Refine is really easy and cards are found everywhere.
>>
>>385795038

Uh yeah, it is. Of course anything seems low budget compared to a main series FF game. Square should really figure out that they can't keep spending 100+ million dollars to make a FF game. It's not sustainable in the long term. A couple more FFXV and FFXIV 1.0s and they'll be dead. By all accounts they should be dead now. Enix and Edios bailed them out.

I'm just saying that if you gambit your way through the whole game, you might as well just watch it. Becomes worse than XIII's "press forward and mash X", since all you need to do is pressing forward and nothing else.

Meltdown is still the strongest magic in the game. Vit-0 is the most devastating debuff in a final fantasy game ever and it can be applied to bosses.

Not at all comparable. 3D and 2D fags fight, but the vast majority of Metroid fans still like most of the series, except Other M which almost everyone agrees is bad. Even the most hardcore FF fans hate half the games in their own series and argue with other FF fans about how their favorite is the only acceptable one.
>>
>>385785894
FF10 is probably the one that most successfully did what it was trying to do. I'd say it's the "best" FF, in that sense. In the same way a burger can be perfectly made but less desirable than a plate of spaghetti, or whatever.

Nintendo, ah, and then you talk about Nintendo isn’t copying anything and how Sony is copying everything, and that’s just bullshit, that bullshit…shit s-saying Final Fantasy was on Nintendo before Sony, have you played the PS1?

Nig, I don’t even care if any other systems get Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy sucks ass now. Ooo, look at Final Fantasy 12, y’know where you’re runnin’ around with a lil’ girl and shit.
