It definitely lacks the polish or depth that you would expect out of another RPG from that era. The style and presentation of the game is different too.
It might be another game like "Final Fantasy Adventure", or "Final Fantasy Legends", which aren't really Final Fantasy games at all, and were just sold under that name in the US just for the name recognition.

i think everyone has diff opinions of best final fantasy games.
personally i liked 7's story, 10 was pretty intriguing, 8 is new, 9 i never really played that much. i never played 6 that much but i've heard great things about it. can't believe you guys haven't mentioned 5, that shit was awesome.
what annoys the fuck outa me though is all those people who never even played the series going like "LOLOLOL FF7 BEST ONE ALL OTHERS ARE SHIT" because gamespot gave it a 10/10. just wanted to get that off my chest
but tbh the main thing i remember about all the games were the soundtrack since i still listen to them today .
chrono trigger is awesome but that's a different story, apples and oranges imo. chrono trigger had the sickest soundtrack ever though.

Speaking of soundtracks, have you ever noticed how the most memorable game music always comes from the 8-bit era or the just after the 8-bit era? It's like music stopped being a focal point once developers started using orchestras. Heck, the only modern game whose music I know is Halo. Everything else I remember comes from older games.

My favorite FF is a tie between FF6 and FFT. FF7 might be there too but atm is slightly under. I didnt really like ff8 at all. The music and graphics are great though. <3 Faye Wong.
At some point they fell in love with their 3d pretty people/ movie/cheesy moments direction. There's a place for it, but its not my thing unless the game beneath is good too. (Oh yeah they also did make an actual movie, but the less we say about it the better )
FF4 ds is really good. I had nostalgia chills watching the trailer and I wasnt even the hugest ff4 fan. Love FF music ! ( For the guy that mentioned it, they did up the difficulty significantly for the DS remake. Its a step up in difficulty compared to most ff, but that isnt saying much.)

Rage at anyone who doesn't think IX is in the top 3 along with VI. And tactics although it's a very different game so i didn't count it.
|
I've spent WELL OVER you're combined total on single final fantasy games. Gotta get that 100% completion.
|
Yeah, 15hours for FF8? I didn't even know you could beat it in 15hours?

I got started in FF somewhat late.
The first one I played was X but since then I've beaten X, X-2, VII and recently finished VI and am very close to finishing V (I bought the old PS1 anthology for like <$10 since I have time to kill since I'm still on summer break). I'm looking forward to playing IX eventually because of how highly it is talked about.
I also own one more game though, XII, but I think I only played about 10 hours of it because I really didn't like the combat system. People say it is really good and I haven't finished it, so I will withhold judgment until I get around to finishing it.
My favorite is VII, just so good. It was hard for me to get past the PS1 graphics because I went from X to VII (wasn't a huge fan of rpgs when I was younger besides Legend of Dragoon). But after about an hour, you pretty much get used to any games graphics, and it was just so good.
Got to love the Turks. + Show Spoiler +
From what I read, I thought V was going to be pretty lack luster but I am really liking it from what I've played (I just need to go kill exdeath). I like the job system and I think the story is actually pretty good, just more simple than other FFs. I think gameplay wise it is solid, simple but fun. So definitely worth playing.
I need to pick up III and IV for my DS. But Tactics A2 for DS is pretty good, at least kept me busy for 40+ hours and there is still stuff to do even if you do beat the game.
BTW, Chrono Trigger is awesome.

FF TA is awesome, both story and graphic and game play FF TA2 is not as good in term of story and there is no improvement in game play even though its in a newer platform but overall, it did not fall too far behind from the original

Bad breath on Marlboro's shouldn't be in the game haha, it's terrible. I have many memories of proceeding far in the story, side quests, or leveling only to come across a Malboro that completely fucks me over.

final fantasy mystic quest is so underrated
it's way better than ff5 imo

Here is my generic FFVII fanboi comment.
No but seriously, I love FFVII. I usually don't like RPGs (get super bored) but FFVII blew me a way and was a big part of my childhood.

Mmmm.... But I think confusion is removed (at least in FFX) if the character is damaged by an attack.

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.
I have a similar line of thought of this guy, and op's opinion sucks!

After some googling, yes. Confusion is removed if your character is damaged by a PHYSICAL attack. This is true in almost any FF game.
All that was needed was to make sure at least one character has Stoneward and Confuseward. This way, even if you get Bad Breath, you will still be able to control at least one character. Then just escape or flee or use a Remedy on someone that knows how to flee.

Too many people place old games like early final fantasies on pedestals, even if they haven't played them for like 5 years. I guess I can include myself in that group, especially with ff6 and ff7. Imo. ff13 is the best final fantasy yet, and it is the only one i can see myself replaying, i find the battle system really fun, the story is nice, the voice acting is superb and it has enough variety to keep me replaying unlike with the other final fantasies which I never played again after finishing.
