Honestly Final Fantasy X is an excellent introduction to the series and if you're not wanting to play it for whatever reason flip a coin for V or VI

This is another Internet opinion I seem to hear a lot.

Even though it brought back the ATB system.

I feel like X2 should be thought of as like... an expansion or something since it reuses pretty much all the maps. (Most of the time)

I wonder if it's hated because of that reason...

(Also because it's obviously trying to fan service the entire time)

I tried playing FFVII a year or so ago and I don't get the fuss with that one.

FFX is godtier and I will nightkill anyone that says otherwise

[DaBackpack]

people hate FF13 because the entire first half of the game is literally a straight hallway

Depends on what you want in an RPG:

Want a gameplay heavy classic one? III or V (V really)

Want one known for the story? VI, VII or VIII

Want a newer "updated" RPG system? XII or XV

Want my personal recommendation on what I think got everything right? X.

X2 does not exist.


X2 does not exist

Vi/VII/VIII or X probably will be first, then. X would be most likely due to console/game availability tho assuming I use a legit physical console

So was FFX, but people never batted an eye at that for some reason, lmao

But you should track down a cheap copy of X it's great and isn't too far off from what the old games where doing

I once had my disc stop working; it would always freeze at the same spot (it was near the end of the game too)

I loved the game so much I threw that one out and got a new one

it would freeze in the same spot

I was sad

i.e. you can thank FF7 for RPGs being so prevalent in the west

6, 4, 10, and Tactics are my faves though personally

you live the life I wish I could

So far, wolf team is DBP/sunfan/AA.

It's not like they could lie about implying that they're wolves as humans.

So, this is it really. I can go sleep and feel ready for EoD.

Some things I doubt even defenders of the game will disagree with:

It's on rails and everything is a hallway

It's characters are at best FFVII Clones (You start out as an ex soldier on a train with a generic black guy character going to cause a rebellion) and boringly cringe at worst (Hope)

Battle System is like Star Ocean if Star Ocean was boring and required you to mash the same button over and over

Every name of anything not in your party sounds the same

You can't chose a party until Chapter 11 out of 13.

The stiffest of dialog

Story just stops and expects you to play XIII2


GOOD THINGS

If you can get a handle on the plot, it's a somewhat interesting set up

The setting and idea of the curses (fa'cie?) is neat

Shiva Sisters




I found it being and contrived most of the time.
