MODERATORS
I refuse to believe anyone has ever played any FF games besides tactics, 7,8,10,10-2,12,15.
People say they LOVE 9. That game literally does not exist.Final Fantasy 1-6? They were made up retroactively
14 is literally keeping squenix alive rn. Its slop but it has good bits in its 800h runtime.
16 wouldnt fully commit to being an action game and is strictly worse for it. Its story also kinda fails to execute on its promise.
Gonna be honest, I didn’t play 8 much, the only reason I know about it is because he appears in Kingdom Hearts 1 for some weird reason. 10 year old me thought he was cool aa fuck.
I wish 16 didn't focus on themes of slavery. It's obvious they didn't consult any expert or read any literature.
They thought they were really cooking with that game.
I dont think they did. If they were truly confident theydve included black people in the setting.
1, 4, and 6 are pretty popular in the states, but the odd ball games like 2, 3 and 5 are left out since they didn't get localized until the early 2000's.
I refuse to believe that anything called Final Fantasy 2+ has a logically consistent title
the only ones i have played are not on this list
What the fuck
I really enjoyed 6, 7, 9 and 10, 4 was ok, I hated 8 largely because it has the most bullshit magic system and thought Squall was lame. I got to the penultimate boss and wiped and never bothered to finish it.
