Then it makes sense.
FF2 is often regarded being among the three weakest mainline games in the series (usually 2, 8 and 13 but this is in no way a rule or anything). I’m kind of inclined to agree, but it’s always fun to see the impressions of new fans, I think.

Yes im aware of it being a blacksheep of sorts , thats why it could use a remake cuz it would fix it.

Weird thing about FF8 is it looks like a massive success , square wanted to play around more with the gameplay i guess its up to everyone liking

It’s borderline unfinished and is full of weird new systems that made more sense on paper imo, but I think the cool parts mostly outweigh the bad ones. I’d still rank it pretty low, though I’d put 13 at the bottom personally.

I still don’t think its Star Wars-retreading of a story could be ”fixed” very much.
FF12 is similar in that way, but I think that one is much better.

Yes FF8 did feel something more was Going to be included seifer storyline in particular and meeting up with laguna and all.

The junction system is a nice change of usual equipment buying and stuff... Its highly experemntal game just like FF2 this means its either hit or miss more of a hit to me than miss that was FF2

Nah you can curve out some solid story from FF2 characters i like the emperor design he has this feminine design that doesnt like say out right this guy is evil , its more of wicked and sinister same for kuja and that worked pretty well , thats really the job of a remake take something and do it again and in FF2 case it needs that. More than lets say FF9 which is already quite modern

Do you guys ever change the names of the playable characters? Particularly for games where they have established characters and not avatars like FF1. Apart from panda's iconic Cloud JAY.

I very rarely do it because it confuses me. But I remember naming Steiner both Rusty and Adelbert because it was funny for him to call himself Adelbert Adelbert, and Amarant would call himself the Flaming Flaming.

Not the cloud JAY that was an embarssing attempt at naming.

I named tifa as tifa mane and barret as barretmos

FF5 when naming first didn't give me a name so I went with sam so I played as sam in FF5 and not bartz

Also red 13 i named him kargath cuz he said he doesnt care about the name dr jojo or hoso was he called? Gave him , fun little fact i picked nanaki and vincent when i faced dr joso goddamn i cant recall his name both were hurt by him so I saw it as a fair payback.

Yeah these are pretty much it.

when i was younger i did. cecil was renamed to goku when i played ff4 for the first time. i would usually pick random anime names. nowadays, with one exception just the one time while plying ffx on the switch a while back, i don't rename a character if they already have a name.

Yeah im just too bad at naming.... Its not worth it really.

How ever games that have characters with no names like FF1 and OG FF3 well you gotta name the dudes (crystals be like: send dudes)

For FF1 i named the party

James (warrior)
Carl (thief)
Leo (black mage)
Zeno (white mage)

For FF3 first i thought the protaganist is a girl so I named the first warrior of light jill and 3rd warrior of light cheryl turns out all are guys , luckily i moved on to a newer phone so with this knowledge in mind i renamed the 2 guys to:

Adrian (red mage)
Martin (white mage)
Jason (warrior)
Samuro (monk)

I like naming all the main characters Cloud as a joke. And then when I replay VII I'll name Cloud something like Squall or Tidus.

Absolutely diabolical.

 

[Pandaprewmaster325]

So FF3 is basically FF1 but Warriors of light arent socially inept and actually know how to speak.

Also you can duel wield which is featured in the game cover art thats what i call 10/10 marketing.

Square wanted you to play around with the toad/mini spells as they are a must use in some cases , charcters look WAY WAY too funny when mini it reminds me of FF5 toad where toaded charcters do the most funny of dances EVER it cracked me up everytime i saw it.

Dual wielding white mages are real...

My favorite class design in all Final fantasy is black mage. Cute and cool both.

 

[Pandaprewmaster325]

Yeah black mage looks cool

But red mage got the best swag

You are right!
I play final fantasy 1 on gba and oh my God red mage is crazy powerful.
Use very good weapons and Armor with all good skill you can get for other 2!
In fact in a lot of game get a red mage means end of game!

I didn't try red mage in FF1 but i did in 3 and 5 and damn the 5 red mage feels nerfed compared to the one in 3

Weakness of red mage is supposed to be he is incapable of learning high level magic so he is mostly very strong early/mid game and quite weak late game.

In fact red mage get nerfed because of gba and other version because some classes were super powerful with no weakness like this guy!

I finish one mission with one assassin and it was so crazy! He murder dragons and flams like l they are nothing!

Yeah i did hear red mage was nerfed in later FF1 releases at the same time thief was buffed which is great.

Who is this guy? And what game you kill dragons like crazy?

This guy is a assassin. A special class in final fantasy tactics. In gba version which called "final fantasy tactics advance" you can have a side skills.
This guy can hide from some monsters and all of human enemies..... all of the skill mean insta kill!
This guy and thief with "Skill steal" was most dangerous enemies.
In fact assassin have a nice state and a lot of speed. They use bows and katanas like snipers and hunters, and Ninjas.
in fact sometime they were even powerful enough to beat a boss.

Damn when did ninjas become this OP? I played tactics the first one and its a good game not the best FF has to offer but a well rounded game and a fun twist on normal FF formula with an alright story.

Peak OP
