Final Fantasy

I've only played VII (haven't beaten it), X (hate. it), X-2 (hate it more) and XII (love it).

I love the games, but I really disliked X and X-2. I didn't like the characters or the world. X-2 was too cutesy... The whole design of X was too colorful and awkward. Which I kinda understand. The music of X and X-2 was REALLY ANNOYING. And Seymour started to get impossible to beat. And I want to hurt Yuna. And Rikku turned into a blondie-bimbo by the second, which I didn't like. And Lulu really needs to put THEM away.

XII's battle system is amazing and fun. It's extremely easy compared to X, which was near impossible for me. I like the characters in XII but they're still a bit flat. The world does a good job of keeping a solid genre (like, it's not some ancient amazon race in a technologic world). Although the gameplay was great and new, the storyline was hazy and boring... The characters weren't that dynamic (nice looking and sometimes fun to listen to, but still not that interesting.) The storyline was weak mainly because I didn't care about the characters. It's hard to play a game when you as a player don't have a reason to. Vaan was too stereotypical. I liked Penelo, but her part wasn't drawn out enough.

Balthier... mmmbaby.

SORRY. I like Final Fantasy games, but they can get old after awhile. I'm very critical and hardly pleased (I like to be blunt). I guess I like the storyline/plot aspects of video games. As far as plot goes, VII was the best. X had an okay plot... But XII is the most fun to actually play.

 

I guess I just didn't like it as a whole - it didn't click with me. (Probably the same way XII didn't click with you?)

I loved Rikku's Berserker dressphere because she ginga'd! "Ginga" is like, the fighting stance of Capoeira (which I love). And Rikku did Ginga as a Berserker. I thought Machina Maw was really cool, but Floral Fallal and whatever-Paine-had was lame.

And I didn't like the beginning scene of X-2, with Yuna singing. It was one of those I'm-embarrassed-to-be-playing-this-video-game-in-front-of-people moments. At least for me.

I like FFXII battle system because I have my gambits set up perfectly. I just berserk+haste+lure Basch and let Penelo and Balthier prance around and use Protect, Haste, and Curaga when needed. And Balthier has "Foe HP = 100% - Steal" so he automatically steals various items. : D

Oh, but if you wanna know my favorite game period, it's called Psychonauts. It's for the PS2 - I've played it 3 times though... Which is rare, because I usually get bored with games pretty easily. : D

Favorite FF character? I think mine is Red XIII. I keep in my par-tay as much as possible.

 

Yeah, but you see....

Red XIII is like... a dogwolf.

A talking dogwolf.

: D

Haha. I don't know anything about Rydia. Which game is she from?

I think Cuchúlainn (the summon) from FFXIII is a FOX.

 

I played FFX and X-2. That's really it.

I liked FF7, though, even if I still can't beat it. -_-;;;

 

Haven't finished FFXII yet, although I'm near the end. The battle system is a nice change but the plot is the worst one since the NES era. They changed the primary character to Vaan part way through development, I thought that was a bit of a mistake really, since there are other characters more central to the plot.

I'm looking forward to the remake of FFIV coming out for the DS.

Might be worth limiting the spoilerage, I can't imagine there are that many people on here who have completed all the games...

 

I loved the Final Fantasy series until FF7. FF7, 8, 9 (to a lesser extent) 10 and 10-2, I severely disliked. FFXI (11) was an MMORPG and, really, not much of a FF game, which is why I absolutely fell in love with it and very quickly became addicted, hehe! FFXII (12) was good too, and I loved how they borrowed from FFXI for their battle system.

And, of course, the Tactics games are the win!

Oh, favorite character? Kain. No doubt.

 

Let's see....I've played...

1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, and 12. I still enjoy the series, but the Hollywoodification of it is starting to bug me. Ever since Nomura was popped into the character design chair, everything has gone downhill. Flashy lights, explosions, and wild hair have replaced epic storylines and memorable characters. I'm really not excited about FF13 at all.

 

i played sum but like a bit of it , and one i played through it all was ff tactics, my fav charaters are vincent and shadow , for some reason I like mysterious characters never the main guy or girl

Chrono Trigger demolishes the rest. It is at the top of the list!
I wish squareenix would have let chrono trigger ressurection finish their remake...

Secret of Mana falls after FF7 imo, just because of gameplay and the awesome multiplayer system.

I keep my FF tribute up always, myspace.com/danr
I need to add tactics and SOM in there, but all in good time.

Fav Character? Its close between Edgar, Magus, Sabin, and Cecil.

 

Of course! My DS is currently busted, so I'd have to borrow one to play it, but geez, I wouldn't miss this for the world! FF4 was WAY ahead of its time...not only was the dialog/storyline censored when it was released in America, but the original story that was submitted for the original release was also censored! Not to mention that the battle system stayed in use for what, 5 games after this one?

Oh, and if anyone's curious or bored enough, my FFXI playdiary is still up, though it's currently dead. http://treahffxi.blogspot.com

 

My Life As A King is the new crack.

 

I was gonna get that, but I'm not so sure... loads of reviews say it's lacking and it's up to the player to make the most of it.

 

Ahhhh memories of the crawlie nest and glitching the airship. Walking in water at windurst was fun too. I miss FF11 so much ><

 

well i played 12 3 6 7 10 10-2 tactics advance and PSP and am eagerly waiting for 13 and i love Rikku from 10-2

 

lol I remember that, I miss it sorta it took over my life but I made great friends on XI
