Final Fantasy Megathread

[ObscureJigglypuff]

Everytime someone say Yunalesca it remind me of Namine of Kingdom hearts and i automatically explode.
But anyway, for me FFX is a pretty good game despite i don't like most of the main cast of characters.

I think this game has a really awesome take on religion and i love how they talk about spiritual stuff. The concern of spiritual themes is very cool. Religious and spiritual songs in here are extremely well, very emotional.
I've never hate a sport more than blitzball, and may God forgive Wakka for being so stubborn.

Lulu boobs are the best character of the game 10/10 bounce effect, and

Jetch's dick in question:

This is maybe my hot take, but FFX doesn't not sit in the same table that FF9 and FF8 and even FF6, but that's only my subjective opinion, of course. Don't cancel me ...

@bold: you mean the bad table?

Nooooo, the good table, at least for me

judging by the hate for blitzball, i guess none of you heard about the goalie glitch?

isn't that where you have to hang around your team's goalie?

 

[MasterEn]

yeah. it's very useful if you just want wakka's stuff without putting too much time into the mini-game.

After half of my life playing and loving the rest of the series, and largely ignoring FFX, I finally played it last year.

I'd now say its my second favorite in the series, and I now say its the best one for newcomers to the series to play. A near perfect game, honestly.

It's shame this awesome battle system is stuck with possibly one of the most rock-stupid plots in the franchise. And it's sad that such a thing has become and increasingly stiff competition with each new game in the series. But there's no associated growth, the game play keeps tanking with the plots.

I really like the part where Seymour Natus gets parasitized by the Mortibody, that's a pretty kooky boss. And while you can just kill it with a Phoenix Down, the fact that Evrae gets killed and comes back as a zombie was a pretty cool idea to recycle a boss.

Also, I can't seem to get over how "Via Purifico" is such a boss name.

I personally loved the plot. What puts you off on it?

 

[Boo Man]

Not a fan of the characters or the story but still put around 230 hours into my first playthrough collecting the celestial weapons n farming dark aeons

I personally loved the plot. What puts you off on it?

It drags, like, a lot. The entire story is just spinning it's wheels on the same 3 plot point ad nauseum, and I don't think any of your party makes a single intelligent decision (story wise) the whole game (how many times did we kill Seymour only to not send him except after he ran out of boss forms?). Tidus' role as a protagonist is really forced. The plot is about Yuna making the ultimate sacrifice to save the world, not about some volley ball player's daddy issues.

His inclusion even harms the mythology because of the esoteric nature of what the fuck he and Jecht, really are. Are they ghosts? the memories of ghosts? Zombies? A collective hallucination? Is Tidus real? How can you be born if you're merely the dream of a long dead civilization? Why did Sin even attack Dream Zanarkand if Yu Yevon was the one who created it to protect it against Bevelle?

The game's narrative is also very slapdash and stitched together. A lot of game's are like that, to be fair, since it's sometimes hard to write a reason for the player to go to all your cool levels (how does the party go to the desert from the ice world? Uh...Sin does it somehow I guess?). And I know for a fact rule of cool won out over common sense, since that's the whole reason Jecht exists.

They created a character, and were desperate for a place to put him because of how much they liked his design. And without Jecht, Tidus has no personal stake in the story.

tidus is an aeon. and yu yevon has spent 1,000 years being part of a summon that he became primal. he has no thoughts, ideas or anything. he is just running on primal instincts.
the "being born if he is a dream" thing: the souls maintaining the summoning are mixing their memories together, basically creating people from random scraps of memory fragments, random thoughts and ideas, more or less.

The game is a perfect way to get new players into final fantasy (at least the good final fantasy games, now days the series had got... uh...) since is easy to beat it until you get to the post game bosses in the international version

The game got a lot of hate for silly stuff (like Tidus laugh that almost everyone missed the point of that scene) or very bs stuff to do for the ultimate weapons upgrades (the lighting dodge one is one of the worst side quests)

The moment you beat Penance is the same moment you realize how broken Wakka + Rikku + Tidus combo is

The X-2 got better in the international release with the capture monster stuff. And lets forget that X-3 exist

FF10's plot is a really interesting metaphor, on the subject of

Spoiler: kind-of-spoiler

children inheriting the sins of their parents

PS1 era Final Fantasy games tend to have this type of entire separate plot written between the lines. FF7 has this thing going on, where the setting is old Norse paganism right before the judeo-christian religions arrive. We start off in Midgar, which is an allusion to Midgard. Sephiroth is kind-of-Jesus. Jenova, his mother, the calamity from the sky, is an allusion to Jehova. After Midgar, you follow Sephiroth and you see that big snake impaled on a spike, which alludes to Nehushtan. There's a bunch more, but I'm lazy and you get the point. Nobody really talks about this and the remake kind of misses that part of the plot.

Such an epic game pure 10/10. I would also give FFX-2 10/10. Good old day when final fantasy had me hyped man I miss does days.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is really coming to the Nintendo Switch 2

I was really skeptical whether Rebirth would actually be released for the Nintendo Switch 2 but as you can see in this trailer, it will come. Thank you Square Enix !!!

 

[Elwiwi]

And I bought a ps5 because I didn't think I would release on a switch 2 ( joking guys I'm enjoying my ps5)

They also shaved off about 50gb from the PC version!

The game is lighter data-wise by 50gb.
My guess is textures.

I was really surprised by the Switch 2 version of the remake. It works really well and it's only 90 GB for the Standard version an the Deluxe Version need 99 GB memory.

 

[JellyjamLu]

Hope it ends up being somewhat decent to those getting this on the system.

 

[Elwiwi]

It's not hard look better than og ff7

Thank you, i needed the reminder that yes.... the original game that came out in 1997 is graphically inferior to Rebirth.

But eh, graphically yes, artistically? NO.
