Final Fantasy Megathread

[Kyyo]

I'm going to start FF7 today!

 

[Gilgameshff5]

I recently played through all of ff16 (including dlc). I should replay ff5 now.

 

[It's Thinking 2]

I've been downloading PS-One games since last night. Trying to get all the classics. :) Playing soon!

 

[Sayo Sayo]

What's you guys go-to FF title? For me it's FFV, I can replay that a thousand times and never grow bored by it. I

think it has the best class system in the entire series, probably my favorite soundtrack, characters, setting, final boss...It's truly a masterpiece.

yeah its FF5 for me as well
but i haven't finished FF6 yet and it looks like its going to be just as good
FF4 was awesome too but i like the job systems on 5 and yeah Xdeath is just a badass villain
even more so than Sephiroth imo

 

[It's Thinking 2]

FFVI. Once i start, i'm in it for the long haul! ^_^

 

[Mopeybloke]

What's you guys go-to FF title?

VII and IX. My favourites. They are kind of front loaded with cutscenes, but still very easy to pick up and go.

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

VII, but mostly because the original Spanish translation is notoriously awful.

It's like they threw the original script and ran it through pre-alpha Google Translate XD

XII, Tactics or VII-Remake. These are the only ones I've replayed.

 

[Smiley Cat]

FFVI is my favourite.

FFVIII would be a close second, but it's slightly spoiled by the enemies leveling-up as you do (which makes grinding for exp feel a bit like a punishment, rather than a reward). And also the "draw" system was a bit of a drag.
But In terms of aesthetics, OST and story it's definitely still way up there.

If you haven't yet, I can't recommend FF5 enough. The story isn't super grandiose, but the cast is wonderful and the job system gives a lot of freedom of expression.

 

[Gorse]

Has anyone here played the latest Chocobo Dungeon game? Is that good? I'd like it to be good, but the recent other Chocobo games (like that F2P cart racing one) haven't been very inspiring.

ALSO: Chocobo Dungeon 1 has one of my favourite game OSTs ever. It's perfectly suited to a dungeon-crawler – just listen to some of these hot tracks and try to pretend you're not wandering through a 32-bit cave, desperately hoping for another food pickup so you don't lose your +21 Claw to starvation. ?

 

[Strategist Strategist]

I've played FF1-FF13 and plenty of other Square franchises. They all have their unique special attributes. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be FFIX.

 

[werewolfgimmick]

Haven't played FF in a while, I'm fairly inexperienced with the franchise as I've only beaten 1, 4, 6, and 7. About to start 8 today though, anything I should look out for? You know, general gameplay tips, missable secrets or side quests, that sort of thing.

8's a little frustrating if you hate missing things, there's a ton you can do right at the beginning that's all unintuitive. The card game, doing the SeeD test perfectly, grinding for magic but NOT for exp, because everything levels with you...which is fine, except some drops are tied to lower level monsters. If that's the kind of thing that bugs you, play it with a guide.

That being said, GF summons are free and massive damage spells, that also protect your health while they're casting. You have a huge incentive to rely on them, except you have to watch the same cutscenes a billion times.

....with that being said, it's still probably my favorite game in the series? It hit me with a moody teen protagonist trying to woo a girl with his internal monologue back when that hit way too close to home. I could never love it the same way again, I've changed and it hasn't, but it's tangled around a part of my life like vines.

 

[Strategist Strategist]

The game isn't very difficult as soon as you get the GFs leveled up and unlock the top tier abilities. Refine abilities are generally the most powerful, Card Mod from Quetzalcoatl in particular. It allows you to get a bunch of hard to find items earlier than usual. Triple Triad is your friend, play it every chance you get and collect as many cards as you can, then turn them into items using Card Mod. Those items can be further refined into other items or spells through other GF Mod abilities.

Hii gamers, good morning!!!

I really like RPG style games​

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••​

And that's why last night before going to sleep I started looking for several games of the genre and obviously Final Fantasy can't be missed...

And it was there that I found its tactics version, but this is where the next question arose, because is there more than one version? I mean, to be clearer, which one should I start playing first? Help me with a question I have... what is the difference between Final Fantasy Tactics on PSP, Advance and PSX?

I would really appreciate your help, anyway I say goodbye and thank you for reading me ♥

 

[fake-chan]

Final Fantasy Tactics on GBA is a sequel and a completely different game from the one on PSX and PSP.

 

[JPC]

And Final Fantasy Tactics A2 on NDS.

 

[DunkeyKong]

There are ports and sequels so yeah, maybe graphically better but in the end plays almost the same

 

[Darklink]

There's the original game on PlayStation 1, the remake on PlayStation Portable, and a sequel game on Game Boy Advance, as well as a sequel to the GBA game on Nintendo DS

I would personally recommend the PS1 original, but I am biased in that I dislike how dialogue is written/spoken in the PSP remake. Though I think I'm in the minority there.

 

[Strategist Strategist]

Are there 3 version of Final Fantasy Tactics? I'm only aware of two. And yeah I agree with Darklink, the PS1 original is superior to the PSP remake. Although, it might just be that I experienced the PS1 version first and the new translation seems off to me. The PS1 translation has some grammatical mistakes and some Japanglish though, so if you are a stickler for such things, the PSP remake might be better.

Edit: Oh I was thrown off by the weird formatting of your post. I see that you are referring to Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, which isn't a third version of tactics, but a spiritual sequel to the series. It is more beginner friendly than the original, so you might want to try it out to start.

 

[RetroLaw]

I thought the IOS version was the third one.

Mm but the iOS version is a port of the PSP version?
