I never completed a FF game so I'm just here for DQ

My order is VII>IV=V>III>VI>I>II.

>>3616067
Just out of curiousity, why have you completed DQ games but not FF?

The most contrarian opinions I've seen on this board.

Just out of curiousity, how'd you guys fix FF2?
I really want to like this game and I really believe with just the minor tweaks we can make this playable.

>>3616045

I don't care about DQ

FFIV is my personal fav

FFVI is my second choice

The other FF games I don't care about. The series died for me when FF came to PSX (and Chrono Cross). My personal opinion.

DQ:
4 > 5 > 3 > 9 > 7 > 8 > 6 > 2 > 1

FF:
6 > 9 > 7 > 10 > 4 > 5 > 3 > 8 > 1 > 2

don't care about DQ

DQ: Consistent 7/10
FF: A few 10/10, others 6/10 and couple 4/10

FF>DQ

>>3616051
DQ3- 7.5/10
DQ4- 8/10

Other than that, I agree with you on basically every point.

Who cares, Chrono Trigger shits on any of these.

>>3616370
XD

FF
9 > 6 > 5 > 7 > 4 >3 > 8 > 1 > 2

DQ
5 > 3 > 7 > 4 > 6 > 2 > 1

Based on what I've played:

DQIV > FFV > FFVI > DQIII > FFIV > FFVIII > DQI > FFVII > FFII > FFIII > DQII > FFI

Overall I prefer DQ as a series. 16-bit era FF were the only games from the main FF series that I really got into.

>>3616319
>Worst FF: VIII

So I guess you've never played FF II.

>>3617407
II is a good game, and gave us the amazing SaGa series, which is better than FF.

>>3617407
Not that poster, but I didn't think II was that bad. Sure, it was vastly different from the others and easy to break, but I think it had the best story of the first three games, which is a huge part of FF, and was still a fun game despite its differences.

>>3617407
FFII was a masterpiece that also spawned the best Squaresoft RPG series, only absolute RPG plebs can't appreciate it.

>>3616051
I agree with your Final Fantasy ranking

>>3616069
Not him but I've beaten 5 DQ games and only 1 FF game, that being 7. FF games are great but tend to lose steam past the first third.

Nice Kotaku article.

Best FF: 5
Worst FF: 2

Best DQ: 6 or 7 i cant decide for retro
Worst DQ: 2

i like job systems

>>3616045
I really liked DQ1 (dragon warrior)
Did not liked swap to party based combat in 2+

>>3617442
I love SaGa but I absolutely fucking hate FFII. It's not mechanically interesting, it doesn't provide the tense dungeon crawling experience I'm looking for, it's just a giant pile of badly implemented, broken mechanics with no concept of balance.

It's because FFII is more fun than FFVI.
