Damn, you guys weren't kidding. The series does go downhill after X. I'm playing through all the games backwards right now and I just reached 10, and this is on such another level of quality than the later games. I went in with low expectations after playing XII, XII trilogy, and XV, but I'm so pleasantly surprised by how well-crafted and endearing the story and characters are. And supposedly the games before this are even better? I'm actually excited now; I was legit gonna give up on the series if X didnt make a good first impression.

I love Waka.

Probably because the guy who created and directed every Final Fantasy from I to X quit after X. Then SE was all like "What can we do now that Sakaguchi quit? I know let's make a direct sequel to the last game, something that has never been done in the series long history, and then just shit all over Sakaguchi's legacy with fanfic tier writing." and it was all downhill from there.

It's seriously lacking in story and layered characterization. I personally thought everything else in it was good
>>
>>387972960
It's fine but it lacks being compelling, story is star wars exposition 80% and it's boring for the most part
>>
You're going to enjoy IX to VI then. V is really cool for its job system and iconic characters. IV to I is boring shitfest, don't bother and go with Tactics instead.
>>
>>387972960
The main character of the game isn't even the main character. I really did like the Gambits

XII is better than X in every way. From characters, to story to gameplay. Far better music in XII as well.

>XI and XIV are MMOs, the former was a cult classic and the latter is growing stronger by the day and is one of the top three MMOs available
>XII is star wars, final fantasy edition Which is a fucking good thing
>the XIII trilogy has a convoluted, almost Kingdom hearts tier story but depending on your taste in gameplay they're not THAT horrible.

I haven't played XV so i can't comment but from what i've heard half of /v/ says it's a decent game while the other half shits all over it for being duke nukem forever tier.
>>
>>387974951
/v/ are wrong

>>387974951

In another time of the day, /v/ has no trouble declaring X as the worst game in the franchise.

I can't remember a single track in XII but I do remember that it was the first FF where I muted my tv at some point to listen to something else.
