I played Chrono Trigger. I am really, really stuck at the Golem Sisters right now. It pisses me off.
I think they have only two attacks. One that does like 200 damage, the other halves your HP. GRRRRRRRRRRRR

I've spent over ~400 hours minimum on FF7. Pretty sure I have more. Each file has around 60-70 hours completing it. Yeah, I love that game.
FF8 I've played through twice, hated it, awful magic stealing system and you're penalized for leveling up. ~80 hrs total.
FF9 I've played through at least 3x on 40 hrs each (came out within an hour each playerthrough almost :o !!!). ~120 hrs total.
FF10. Trying to capture all those monsters for that arena to beat all those crazy hard bosses that are over 100x more powerful than the last boss or any omega weapon. Never did it. 109 hours on my first file, 60 hours on 2 more playthroughs after that.
FFX-2: Mediocre game, beat it twice and one playthrough I skipped all unnecessary hotspots and could not beat evil aeons, namely shiva, so ~30 hours for each playthrough + 15 hrs on shitty skipping.
FFXII: Worst final fantasy ever, I think it was around 50 hrs of me asking myself when the gameplay was going to get fun. It never happened. TERRIBLE game.
PS. FFT was fun, played it after all others, probably another ~50 hours on it? Don't remember how long it was. Maybe there are more fun places for FF7, but I didn't study it too hard. As for FFX, I tried some capturing, but I was not sure what to do with them, so I stopped after a while... I never had problems with Shiva in FFX-2 though maybe I was too overleveled... for most parts of the game I just used the auto-regen accessory and 3 Dark Knight or 3 Lady Luck. Despite what you said, I will still go for FFXII. The only reason is that I played FFTA2 and it has the same setting as FFXII. I know FFTA2 is supposed to be worse than the original FFT, but meh. I played more than 100 hours on it.
Did you ever beat Ruby or Emerald weapon? Chocobo breeding? Do the chocobo races? Get KOTR? All the hidden weapons? Beat the fighting arena however many times in a row you had to? Explore the underwater submarine? Get everyone's secret weapon unlocked tons of sidestory, like vincent in the waterfall. You ever go into that moogle forest that you needed either the comet to hit the earth or a green chocobo to enter? Get all the summons (not talking aobut maxing materia, I never cared for that).
There were tons of sideshit to do in that game that required hours upon hours of investment.
PS. I believe I was like level 28 when I faced Shiva, and when I replayed the game I was at level like 46, so huge difference. Completely off memory btw.

I would not dare to compare.
Chrono Trigger and FFVI were the best RPGs I've played in my life.

I've played every console FF that has ever came out and beat them all. I liked nearly all of them for different reasons. FFX-2 was pretty stupid, but had it's fun parts and all in all I could tolerate it. FF13 I actually haven't beaten because, honestly, I think it's one of the worst RPGs I have ever played. The characters are all incredibly annoying and boring. The dialogue is very bad and the game is sososo linear that it's nothing like growing up being in love with free world roaming. FF3(SNES) and FF7 are in a close race for the best FF (in my opinion) because of the depth of the story and the great music. The characters are unique and interesting which makes it easy to play. I like having to find my way through the game. Too linear makes it too terrible.

I hate you for hating what I love. Final Fantasy 8 was the best, I loved the (love) story - just the way everything was laid out and how everything intertwined was amazing.
(I think Rinoa influenced my preference in women... no I am not lying)
|
Chrono Trigger I would say is the best non-sc game ever made =D.
FF10 is my favourite Final fantasy then probably FF9
Btw, Lulu, Kimhari and Riku are worthless in it. The best character is definitely yuna because of her Summons (As Yuna levels, her Summons get stronger as well.) So after you get Holy on Yuna, teleport her to Auron or Tidus' grid and start leveling speed and strength.
Tidus you want to go Auron, and Auron to Tidus. Wakka is more for accuracy.
If you want to beat the monsters in the monster arena, you're going to have to do the Tomberry trick and just get Yuna, Tidus and Wakka everywhere on that grid.

I'm playing through the original that was re-released for psp right now. WM / BM / Fighter / Monk. Tactics is probably what I spent the most time playing, followed by VII. Is 13 really so bad? I was thinking of getting a ps3 for that but I would be disappointed if it turned out to be boring.

No, No, No, No, No, No, Yes, No, No, No.
The only thing out of the list which I did was the submarine. I think I got Yuffie's weapon there. I didn't even get Vincent >__<. I beat the game without him.
Oh. Lvl 28 is way too low . I think near the end of Chapter 2, I had to go into the Bavelle's basement, which has a rotating platform. It took me a while to figure out how to rotate correctly (I think there is a Ribbon at the bottom). During that time I beat the two bosses at the controller many, many times. Each time I net 700-800 experience.... when I passed that part I got to lvl 30.
It was easy, though. For one of them (the one that appearend in Zanarkand Temple in FFX), 2 rounds of Trigger Happy from all 3 Gunners owns it. For the other one I had to use Yuna's special dress, which casts reflect.
The first boss can get Oversoul and drops an accessory that gives auto-regen. Influenced by my FF9 experience, I decided to kill the Oversoul version repeatedly until I got 3 of that accessory.

Lulu was essential for me. Tidas can only hit one target so he had to be on Jecht; my other characters are useless except Yuna (but Yuna doesn't do too much damage except Holy), that leaves Lulu to destroy the stone pillars around Jecht.... Double Cast Ultima isn't really that bad...
I am not sure about raising strength for Yuna though. Holy does enough damage for me. Perhaps there are other uses....?

EDIT:
What was the point of playing these games without doing the side quests?

I donno though. I think 10 is way better than 4 in terms of.... everything.

Since you haven't really played final fantasy 7 it is hard to take your opinion seriously :p

Everything after FF6 has been awful( the worst being FF X and 13). 13 literally plays itself and X has the, in my opinion, worst written, most boring, completely untouching storyline of all( Why do I have to deal with that whiny bitch Tydus and his idiot friend Waka? The only interesting characters in the entire game are Yuna and Auron, it could've been a decent game if it would've been about them instead.)

FF9 IS SO GOOD
FAVORITE RPG OF ALL TIME ZIDANE <3 GARNET <3 VIVI <3
|
There's SAND in my BOOTS!!!!! jesus ff6 man!!!
I totally agree about ff9, well written plot that conquers all, in fact it's my fav game o' all time.
only dissapointing part was the graphics. (which isn't a problem if you play on a small tv, but otherwise you can see each individual pixel )

Unfortunately I never had a PS2 to play #10 etc~! damn broski, who says you need a ps2? FFX is an amazing game, I can easily recommend it to any1 as it's 1 of my favorite games story wise
