It's just that 7 was always lauded as 'the best game ever' since I was a teenager and now I'm an adult I've never cracked it it's this challenge that haunts me If you don't give a shit about Final Fantasy then there is really no reason to play it. If you actually cared about the series then sure. It was a good game for its time with decent characters and story. Its not as good as say IV or VI, but worth checking out. The best game ever talk was always ridiculous and came from those who were not used to rpgs, Japanese style or otherwise. Its important for introducing a new generation of fans to rpgs, but there are certainly many games better than it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 A whole bunch of people that haven't revisited 7 in 20 years are going to be incredibly mad on social media when that thing finally comes out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiling a 20 year old game (and a certain death) will annoy a lot of people most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I fired up the PC version of VII last night, and... I got past the first boss but aren't really inclined to keep going. I'll probably wait and see how the Remake is gonna come out. the Steam Version of IX, on the other hand, I ran into mods that upped the resolution on the backgrounds to bring it even with the foreground sprites (thus making everything less jarring) and switched the font back into PSX classic font, making the Steam version way more playable, so I don't have to keep pulling out my PS3 to play it.

Death From Above Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I burned out without finishing 9 which is on me for trying to do 4, 7, 8 and 9 back to back. But when you get by the general Japanese "female characters need to be flirted with" weirdness that is just ultra-prevelant in all JRPGs, it felt like an amazing game. I should really go back to it at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E. Dynamite Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I'd argue IX is the best of the four games you mentioned, although it has some weird second-act pacing problems based on how the plot splits your party up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I still prefer 4 & 7 to 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E. Dynamite Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I might be apt to consider the GBA remake of IV and a hypothetical VII with a good translation. What's the deal with all the other FFIV remakes, by the way? Is there a consensus best one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 No idea. I did quite enjoy the GBA remake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I will say the DS/Steam version might look weird if you're in it for the SNES nostalgia but it absolutely played great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Allow me to reiterate how fun FFRK is. I'm currently fighting Zalera and three shadow fiends from FFT, in a FFVI style battle with ATB, with Sephiroth, Aerith, Golbez, Garland, and Cloud (My dark physical team just happens to be VII heavy; just fought the Juggernauts from XIII with a team with Sora, Selphie, Bartz, Vincent, and the game's basic character). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I'm still going to wait until the entire game get's remade instead of a 60 hour version of the first 15 hours, but that "Those Who Fight Further" arrangement is straight fire. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) I'm going to wait till a decent sale, but I can't lie, they may have managed to sell me on just getting that Midgard chapter. Like I probably would have gotten it anyways, but that has me excited. Edited September 11, 2019 by Eivion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I'm not the biggest 7 fan, but I will say it very much looks like "the game they wanted FF 15 to be but it didn't quite get there", and everyone I have heard who has had a chance to play the game at conventions has raved about having fun with the combat system. Sounds great, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In practice, the game's remaster...doesn't look as awe-inspiring as the FF7 full remake, but it looks at least on par with the PS2-era Final Fantasy games' look- at least character wise. Background-wise, it depends on how far you get in the game: The more detailed backgrounds look amazing, but the less detailed ones look just as bad or worse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLSigman Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Finally got a character to the beginning of Shadowbringer in FF XIV. This writing is AMAZING. At the end of Stormblood you think you know what's going on in the Garlean Empire. HA! The post Stormblood quest lines throw all of that into chaos. The Domen story is incredibly dark. And poor Thancred just keeps being the plot's whipping boy. This is now my new standard of MMO writing, BioWare beware. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowbringers is honestly a tour de force in what a modern MMO expansion can be. Honestly all their expansions are so strong and even from early on in Heavensward you can see the writing has taken a significant turn upwards where all the secondary pieces on the board are so much more interesting and have more depth to them. One of the things that has been super cool about jumping in with the game this deep in has been being able to very clearly watch how the dungeons/trials/bosses evolve over time and build on each other. How they try and build new superbosses that build on everything you've learned before and it just keeps getting more and more wild the farther you go, until you become comfortable standing in a tornado of fireworks. So many of the big bosses in this game are fucking amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
