Have you played all Silent Hill games as well?

I played ffxv:pocket on switch and just went to KZfaq for the cutscenes, and it was a good time!

Yea wtf. 13-1 is by far the best one

@@loganeby947 13-2 is pretty great but the story is a mess, gameplay and enviroments are really fun, but story and character development and production values is all amazing in 13-1 and there are some really good boss battles and end game hunts on pulse, so i actually agree 13-1 is the best altho i wish it took the training wheels off the battle system faster, and 13-2 is a close 2nd. lightning returns was fun but very experimental and it feels a bit more low budget and rough around the edges. but imo the 13 trilogy is really great overall. do i like more than any of the ps1 final fantasys? definitely not, but i think they're consistently 8.5/10's so for me 13 and 13-2 would be A tier and lightning returns would be B

@@DaRkLoRd-rc5yu 100% agree. I have a soft spot for 13-1 but 10 is the best imo

@@DaRkLoRd-rc5yu not just the game and story. By far they also have a good ost as well.

@@DaRkLoRd-rc5yu My Favorite os 13-2 and its mostly because of the Gameplay. I liked some charakters but it made no sense that the game even existed, 13 endet perfectly thats it and then they redconned it to make it happen... welp still prefer it gameplaywise :D

and then you can still beat the dark aeons and and the calm lands boss in the remake

their r so many things to do in ffx, i dunno why people rank it lower than 9 + the ending oofffffff

@@boiiiiiii5741 i personally cant stand almost every aspect of FFX. I hate the way the battles are, i hate how the leveling works, i hate the archetype crap for each battle (you know, every enemy is killable easily by certain characters aside from bosses and what not) However! The OST is phenomenal and the Story is one of the greatest stories ever told.

He wasn’t consistent, I thought he took off points from 5 for being too grindy. But after hours of dodging lightning on the thunder plains he didn’t penalise 10? How he could put 3 over 5 is bizarre. 5 had way more character development the plot was ok but because I cared about the characters I was invested when galuf dies. 3 the characters were so bland and the plot was meh.

Enix are not the original Square team who created the original Final Fantasies by the way. After Square bankrupted themselves Enix bought them out. The original team stayed on to work on FFX but there was an exodus of the main members of the Squaresoft team after that. Enix have the brand but they don't share Squares roots

@@17tom31 it’s safe to assume that until they come up with a x-3 that continues from the events of the audio drama… it’s better to take the audio drama as a proof of concept that may or may not be canon or retconned at a moments notice… that and it’s apparently not as bad of a travesty as I thought it would be… at the bare minimum tidus and Yuna get back together by the end of the audio drama so while yes it still is horrible at least the relationship doesn’t permanently end so that’s at least one good thing lol

It truly is. IX was my first FF, I blew like 200 hours on it as a kid, getting absolutely everything (well, except Excalibur II, I'm not a masochist). X is a close second for me tho, I dunno, ther's just something special about it.

If 9 had a better battle system it would be better

IX is not underrated lol

Saying "ix is underated" is like saying "a red apple is turquoise and has fins", ix is what many consider one of the, if not the, best final fantasy game.

It's slept on.

Currently playing through Zodiac age and I really enjoy it especially the job system, hunts and Balthier interacting with the rest of the cast. I do think that the battles can feel a bit slow at times though, especially the beginning, but we can speed through them with the remaster

Yes, but to maintain it, you either pay or it’s a long, long, long grind intermediately playing it. Phone games are killing games. If it were an offline cellphone game, I’d be right behind you, but it’s not and while it’s the best phone game, it’s still trash.

@@nyarlathotep13 you don't have to pay anything to play the story.

Trevor Scheer that’s why I said “...or it’s a long, long grind” playing it *intermittently. I definitely don’t support phone games, especially ones that suck up as much data as that one, it’s unreal.

@@nyarlathotep13 It's not a long long grind to beat the story. Story fights are stupidly easy.

Alienxfb14 I’m ok with grinds, but you played for two and a half years... did you ever beat it? Also, were you limited to play a certain amount each day based off of time you could play for free? I’m not arguing it’s not good, either (for a phone game that EATS data like Hannibal eats his enemies).

indeed

Definitely with FFXIV as it's on the 3rd expansion after A Realm Reborn

Aidan Holden Well I think he was just separating 1.0 and everything after 2.0.. It's still FFXIV, but the "base game" you have to buy in order to play any of the expansions is ARR. I think SE really wanted to advertise it as it's own new game kind of :p

@Caleb Dalton Omg that is 100% true!! You can tell he both assumed half the things he said and barely played the other half and genuinely played maybe 10% of this list but didnt remember all the merits of why they are in their tiers lol what a joke

He never played any of the mobile games... I dont think thats bad and is fair because is his opinion but saying that they are not about the big adventure is wrong in some cases.

Three months later and we still haven't heard the 'second of all'. Lol

Meh, I'd take it or leave it.

It's such a great gaming experience though kupo! You should try it...

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

The shooting mechanic is bad. Overall is not bad game but far from great

Underrated I think... it's not trash... I'd of gave it an A maybe a B

The reason Dirge of Cerberus was hated on was because fans expected another FF7, but got instead a rather average shooter. DoC is actually not a bad game if you take it for what it is.

Sounds like a good friend, instead of throwing it away or selling it, offering it to a friend and hell maybe will be a hidden gem for them. Just how many like ff13 and I dont

Ray John Ner Cacao final fantasy dimensions is another one of those “mobile games” and it’s a traditional rpg. Although it costs money

Chill out

FF Dimensions is a really decent Final fantasy game

I do really love the character interactions in Opera Omnia for sure. It's been great to get to see characters get to further develop their relationships with other characters in their game, and am looking forward to some other comedic moments as we meet more new characters, like whenever they decide to add Quinna and she meets Ignis, and hopefully some heartfelt moments, like if they decide to have Materia bring Braska into the world so he and Yuna can talk about her pilgrimage and how she finally beat Sin for good.

It would help a lot if he went in depth. I've completed 3 about 6 times now and i've played a couple hours of ff5. I feel like for me to have a "proper opinion" on the game i'd need more experience with it. But he did say 5 was really grindy. I only really needed to grind in 3 for my first two playthroughs and then afterwards, some good strategies and utilizing items properly allowed me to kill a lot of enemies and bosses fairly easily (for reference, every playthrough was a "all bosses" playthrough aside from iron giant. And I was playing the version on the ds). If he's right and 5 is a grindy game, then 5 probably isn't a complete improvement to 3. It also probably helped that 3 has had a 3d remake

@@user-mq1ng6sj7b its bee some time since i played V but i dont remember it as ''grindy'' i remember beating the final boss while underleveled

Except when comparing it to FFIII DS. V is outdated, the story is non-existent, the characters are so tropey they go beyond being good and back into bad. I would class V below II. The only thing it has going for it is the job system; everything else was a step backwards.

I found FF5 kinda hard to play blind, the bosses were a bit strong imo, i still remember the trouble I had with the bomb fight that are actually 5-6 and they kepp ressing themselves, and my setup had like no aoe at all lol

f937r Better graphics doesn’t necessarily make it a better game though. And I’m sure not much was changed between FF3 DS and the original FF3 overall besides giving the characters canon names. Not to say that FF3 is better or worse. I still haven't finished it.

Same

I don't even think the linear leveldesign is that bad tbh. I mostly play JRPGs for the story, characters and gameplay and as long as the world doesn't Interrupt with those I'm fine with it, especially since more niche JRPGs have the same leveldesign (guess I'm used to it). I really enjoyed the game, but I kinda wish there weren't sequels to it as I kinda disliked how they treated the original story.

The long hallway design can be a little off putting, but alleviates something 7 and 8 had.. pointless walking around the map lost AF wondering were I was supposed to go....the combat system was top notch.. it took the ai system idea of non controllable teammates and simplified it into roles, picking and swapping the roles on the fly...

I didn’t like the paradigms system in 13 but I think it was more fun and clean in 13-2

*cough* Ashe *cough*

Balthier is the leading man for sure

And yet it's supposed to be Basch. Damn, actually if you remove/change Vaan and Penelo, it could be very well the best FF

My argument for 12 is that if it started at the castle break in from balthier's POV it would be alot better.

Don’t listen to Ondores lies!

It’s the best final fantasy, story wise, in my opinion. There are no low points. Kefka is amazing. And the last bit of the game is great. Won’t spoil it if you aren’t there yet.

No spoilers, but kefka accomplished something no other villain (except maybe lavos) has ever accomplished. That makes him probably the most successful villain in the ff series

Spectre don't feed cid the bad fish

@Wenceslao Futanaki While I feel FF6 is my favorite FF game, I would argue that the others can be considered art as well. All the little details in the pre-rendered areas, no matter how small, were really neat and made FF7 feel cozy when I played it for the first time in 97. The steam coming from grates, the wires that popped and crackled here and there, and some of these areas you spent literally maybe 3 or 4 seconds in, but those details were there.

@Wenceslao Futanaki i agree i kinda wish square would remake VI and IX and stop making everything about 7

He clearly didn’t, like so many other people who call it trash.

@@weglarz The story is trash but everything else was a stepvup from 10 in every other aspect.

yeh well i mean he did notice that an picked up crisis core later an gave it an A

@@mondayinflux1062 well I didn't know that I just saw it and commented on that

Yea imo Crisis Core is definitely one of the best.

Agreed. One of the few times a subjective opinion was objectively wrong.

Xiii-2 should be above crisis core

Crisis Core deserves A tier. Not that I think it's bad, actually it's my favorite, but I feel like the game had a lack of content. Sure you have the main story and the missions as well as the new game carries over so you keep all your levels and materia. But I just felt that story wise there could've been more, especially since we get Zack shown as a 2nd class soldier. Also, I haven't played "Before Crisis" so I don't know if it sheds more light on Zack's journey to rise through the ranks of soldier, but I don't really care if it was cause it wouldn't help Crisis Core's case if it was. Also, I hated Crystal Chronicles on GC. Honestly think it deserved C rank at best. (Get off Crystal Chronicles, there's only room for one FFCC, and it's Crisis Core!)

crisis core mechanic is bad but the story is good

To me VIII was the second FF I played, the first was X and X really blew my mind when I played it but I think I liked VIII even more.

FF8 is the best one to me personally. Such an underrated masterpiece.

Same here. I always saw myself as Squall and other FF felt a bit too "happy" and childish.

It feels like a lot of that id just a reaction to FF7 though. I don't see anyone rsndomly saying 6 is the best.

@@SeraphSeph 7 is great but 6 and tactics are both better imo.

I think VI is the best for similar reasons DreamcastGuy thinks VII is the best. It is the last great hand drawn Final Fantasy. Seven introduced 3D graphics and that caused the series to lose something in my opinion. Seven is an amazing technical achievement and a great game but six is the end of an era and it was an era I prefer over modern games.

@@tarb1320 I really want to play 6 but id have to play it on my phone like a pleb.

@joemobumtwizzler ?

@joemobumtwizzler Did you like FF7 remake?

@joemobumtwizzler 7/10 for me, because of the cringe anime story

honestly 13-2 and 13-3 can both kiss my ass. the first 13 was fine as it was. Sequels only mad it worse and worse

I'm playing 13 2 right now and I agree. 13 frustrates me because I love certain parts of it but the flaws are a lot and actually made me give up on it leading me to watching a walkthrough for the rest of the story, but 13 2 seems to fix almost every problems with the first game.

I agree. Played X during my late-ish teens, and honestly, especially that love story kept me sane during some very emotionally difficult times. I'm really glad I had it, which is why I keep the original PS2 game around to this day, even though I haven't owned a PS2 in almost a decade lol

I do not buy the "love story" in FFX since it is between two characters who are teenagers and it is just puppy dog love. The way their roles switch throughout the course of the game mostly worked however. Yuna starts off the game willing to sacrifice herself for Spira, but Tidus takes Yuna's place as the sacrificial lamb in the latter half of FFX.

X IV and VII are my favorites in that order

I played X as a kid and never finished it. I finished it a few weeks ago and finished FFX-2 tonight. Now I’m trying to figure out which game to play next. I’m thinking maybe VIII, IX, or maybe even IV. I just need something to tide me over till XVI.

@@infamousjustice7083 my top 3 is X IV and VII so if you're up for some pixels then try IV its the essence of the franchise in its purest form (its super dated tho)

@@Midnight_x_Sin I was never sold on FFX personally. I still think its my worst FF experience. I felt like I lost the feeling of being in a huge world for better graphics. To go from FFVII to VIII to IX's world and then X. X made me feel like I was playing Jade Cocoon.

Ian-Devon Lewis i mean how was it a small world? There was so much lore in it, so many things to do. You’re talking about how small a world it was but name three other worlds, not including ff11 and ff14, that were bigger. If you don’t like it for other reasons than that’s okay. However ffx was not a small world by any degree, it’s one of the biggest in FF.

@@Midnight_x_Sin didn't say anything about small world so get off your feelings. But bigger worlds with more exploration... 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9! and 12.

Ian-Devon Lewis so you’re saying that games that literally could not have more due to hardware limitations have more than ffx? That makes sense. At any rate, it’s okay for you to not like ffx it’s just not okay to state your opinion (ffx is a small world) as a fact. Ffxii, ffxv, are bigger than it. Ffvii, ffviii, and ffix are slightly smaller but not bigger than ffx. So again, you can dislike ffx but don’t state your opinions as facts.

Those are my favorites too, especially 8. I was quite pleased with those rankings.

@@JakeClark-xw4xz I haven't played through every FF not even by a longshot, but I can say that FF8 is my favorite even if the overall story gets kinda weird later on. I just love the battle system, the G.F / level system, the mix of characters that don't seem to fit into the same story at first glance, the focus on the love story between Rinoa& Squall and how he opens up to everyone, but most importantly the godly music.

I agree i love it!!

Only mobile game I can play

yeah, I played BE since it come and he place it in low tier than FF15, but my opinion i think BE more better that FF15 & 13, i play them all as well too

I kinda hate RK but BE is great and did not deserve a F. It has an actual story and even though it is a bit pay to win, it did not deserve the F it was given

@@ashleylight1300 FFVII isn't overrated. It's literally not only the best selling Final Fantasy game of all time, but the best selling serious jrpg game of all time and the 2nd best selling PS1 game of all time (right behind Gran Turismo). It was a system seller, changed the way jrpgs were made, and felt epic and revolutionary for it's time. I don't know how old you are but many kids these days weren't around in 97 when it was released and only played it because their parents or uncles/aunts talked so highly of it and can't appreciate the graphical jump it was when compared to literally everything else that had come before it on console.

@@the13thjoker At least X-2 has a fully fleshed story, eventhough weak, and is actually complete. The only complain I have is the way to fully access Paine's backstory. Yuna's new attitude is actually very reasonable. X-2 happened like, what, 1 or 2 years after X? Surely many things can change. I mean I changed from a religious person to a church-avoiding-sometimes-eye-rolling guy in just a night. Not to mention she has Rikku and Brother as cousins. I'm sure it's either she's assimilating their attitude, and or both influenced Yuna directly or indirectly. Compare it to XV and Noctis. Everything Noctis has and achieved was given to him. He's born the chosen king, his powers are given by the gods, his seal of approval from the astrals were prepared by Luna, all he needed to do was take it, and even then, the only time he was not approved, his ancestors slapped Levi to submission; I don't even know if he was in trance or awake during his encounter with Levi. And then, the ring of lucii was delivered to him. There was nothing in the game where he earned any of his achievements. Even collecting all 12 weapons was not mandatory. And then the game itself is a literal cash-grab. X-2 is like a cheap knock-off of Starbucks while XV is Starbucks but we have to wait and then pay for the cup, sugar, cup lid, water, coffee, cream, etc

@@tjongdavid1921 Everything Noctis has and achieved was given to him ? What kind BS are you talking about ? First he need to do the 'trial' to get his power. leviathan want to kill him. Titan want to crush him. Is that what you call with everything is given to him ? Sure beating ifrit and kick ardyn ass is NOT achievements. If you saying FFX-2 is cheaper than FFXV is because FFX-2 is PS2 game while FFXV is PS4 game. Back in PS2 era game is way cheaper than PS4 game. X-2 has a fully fleshed story, eventhough weak, and is actually complete ?!? The story is sequel from FFX which is already complete. FFX-2 is unnecessary sequel from series that already complete. Its 'feel' complete because FFX-2 using lore and world building from FFX lore and world that already complete. Yuna's new attitude is actually very reasonable !?! Are you insane ? Is Yuna already insane ? How the hell from summoner white mage become gun wielding j-pop ?!? If you mean character development like that is good, try to play FFIV. How Cecil from dark knight become paladin is what i call character development.

@@the13thjoker What trial? Do u think the astrals not approve him already? He's the chosen king ffs where they also have the script to defeat the starscourge. All the boss fights are just for cosmetics except Levi. If titan, shiva, and ramuh acted like Levi, all of them would've been forced to bow down by Bahamut. Yeah, X-2 borrowed the world of X, that's why I said it was weak. XV still had to build their own world while also telling Noct's story. However, the quality of story telling in XV is inferior to previous FFs. Even XIII where it was supposed to be branched of from feels complete while also introducing their new world. Most characters has a complete story arc and character development and all are in the game, while XV is gated by money (except Prompto in later end of the game). It's reasonable. Look at Auron. His younger self and present self is a complete 180 and we don't see his turn to a reserved, non temperamental badass and yet he is one of the best things in X. A character is not rigid. Besides, we can still sense Yuna's shy, calm, and selfless traits but in a toned down manner while also getting a new trait that was very low or maybe non-existant before: selfishness. If u don't notice, the entirety of X-2's story is about Yuna trying to find someone for her own gain. It just so happened a global threat showed up and she had to do what every protagonist do. In-between that we witnessed the politics and new power play in Spira. 3 main arcs intertwined into a single thread and a single conclusion. X-2 also has more interesting and sometimes fun sidequests, sometimes integrated to a new lore. All XV has is just beautiful vistas with shallow or no lore behind it. We don't even know why and how each of the 12 weapons ended up where they were. Each weapon has the potential of a very interesting story. U can even create a whole timeline with that alone. Missed opportunities like this is everywhere in the game. And then it's coming from a company where they've been setting bars for other companies. Comparing to their own previous qualities, the only thing standing out the most is their graphic and music

the 13 trilogy is probably my most fav of the series. The game play is top notch and I love the characters. You know....what final fantasy has been about since its inception......

same ff13 series was awesome

Agree, ff13 is underrated, the whole “hallway” thing was supposed to symbolize that they were trapped on figuring out their focus, and once they truly understood it, they began the gran pulse part of the game. Amazing story, amazing and diverse characters. It’s just so amazing.

I love this thread. Ff13 trilogy was just awesome and memorable to me. I love their character development and the lore behind it. It honestly was fun to understand it all. Also, lightning best mom, yes?

Wow... I'd call that the trio of hell :D Probably the ones I dislike the most. But, hey, cool if you enjoy them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I love ff13 just cant beat gaprah white wood boss :(

was going to comment the same if someone else already didnt. job well done sir.

Someone did however do a fan-remake of it utilizing most if not all the original sprites, etc for PC. ;) Should check it out.

FF legend is actually SaGa. Just like FF adventure is Mana series. Confusing i know

Kyoka Jiro exactly play before judging

Agreed, Lasswell’s a great character period, not just by mobile game standards.

Although played few FF, the only one that I got me for real was the 9. By the way, what's your take on 12?

Nooberus ff9 remake worth the buy ps4?

The beginning is so long and boring tho

Bruno Bedeschi 12 is amazing, but the story kinda sucks. I loved the battle system, gambits, characters, art direction, and pretty much everything else in the game.

Along with almost every dungeon in FFIX

A lot of the FF games are linear. FF7, 8 and 9 are pretty linear if you think about it. 10 was exceptionally linear. The only reason people complain about 13 is because there were no sidequests or opportunities for slight deviation. In 7 you had Fort Condor, the Gold Saucer, and the occasional sidequest like Gongaga or the Yuffie/Vincent sidequests, in 8 you had Card Games, the occasional sidequest and the incentive to grind for GF abilities, and 9 had the occasional sidequest and the Chocobo Mini Game before you got the Blue Narciss. 10 was linear but you could backtrack and play Blitzball, but 13 had none of that. 13 level capped you, had no sidequests like cards, and very little deviation on the map. That being said, I still have a favourable opinion of FF13. I'd place it in the middle of the pack, maybe on the higher end. It was a great game, just not amazing like 7-10 and 12 (IMO). The linearity really didn't bother me that much.

Most FFs are linear, even X, yes. But XIII, for about 80% of the game, is LITERALLY a straight, narrow fucking hallway with at most the occasional side hallway that ends in a chest, and nothing else. Linearity in the game's overall design is one thing, but XIII is extremely linear in actual level design too, to a much higher degree than ANY previosu FF. I mean, look at the minimap to see what I mean, most of the time it's quite literally a narrow tube. Much of the game consists of pushing the stick forward and pressing X occasionally, even in battle. It had the potential to be so much more than that, but they wasted it almost completely.

10 definitely was a hallway, but it gave you the illusion of being able to explore in a way that 13 didn't. You had the option (and requirement if you wanted unlock the monster arena) of going back to areas you'd already visited. In 13, once you left an area, it was gone for ever. Also 10 masks its linearity with little side branching quests that show you how you go off the main road to do a thing then go back onto it. Operation Mi'ihen for example is a side path off the Mushroom Rock Highroad.

I kind of just thought it was funny that he justified ranking all the mobile games as F because they're mobile and he hates mobile.... then gave the mobile version of XV a C because he likes that game.

@@anthonydelfino6171 😂 true

Underrated? That's like saying everyone should watch Lizzy Maguire. What's it going to do?

Up until Leblanc disappears for a while X-2 isnt one I can really get into but once she's gone its an ok game until she pop's back up again towards the end.

@@Mr.VonStoogle True, Leblanc was kinda annoying especially with her obsession of Noojie Woojie :D Also never fan of Britney Spears. But i liked the dressphere system for the reason of so many classes to choose from. Wanna have some gambling fun? go 3x lady luck and watch that dud dud dud kill your whole party :D It was decent game, story was kinda meh unless you finished the true ending. But the HD remaster hooked me up once again with the monster taming training and playing with a party made of Logos with the snake gatling gun and slime is fun :D

Leblanc is one of the worst FF characters kind of makes you want to throw up

I didn't like x-2 cause I was and still am a firm believer that no ff should have a seguel or prequel. It waters them down with what feels like a cash grab. It didn't help I didn't like the agency that was taken away from the player in 10. Removing being able to manually fly around the world map and do things out of order was kinda BS. Also, not being able to change names is also BS. So X-2 never really had a chance with me. (This doesn't apply to ff11 or 14 as they are mmorpgs and that's just how they work. Look at WoW's many expacs. )

Based on some of his picks, he really didnt play some before rating!

Yeah WoFF is A or even S, it's awesome

WoFF is really great. I would personally put it at S or A as well. But even if you aren't a big fan and dislike the style or something you have to at least admit, that it's objectively a really solid, high quality game. I think B is not too far off if you are on that side of the fence, but the lack of explanation really feels as if DCGuy only played for a short session or something. Maybe it wasn't his cup of tea and even if it's a shame, you can't force anyone to play everything. But that's the flaw of those tier lists for me personally as well. There is rarely any series where I played every game of and those tier lists rarely have a "didn't play" category.

Yeah its definitely an S or an A

​@@alvaroviquez1870 I think WoFF is B also! It is a good game to play, but there are definitely games that play with your emotions more, and have more interesting combat. Just my opinion!

Indeed

I actually enjoyed FF13, I don't think it's all that bad. Yeah, no exploration at all, but I thought the battle system was simple but fun. FF13-2...battle system is alright, but the characters are so lame I couldn't play it for more than a few hours. Will never play Lightning Returns probably. The one I disagree the most with this video though is FF14. I really tried to like it, and I played it a lot, finished the story until a year or so ago, but to be honest it's terribly easy and lame. All classes are basically the same, you do the same exact rotation every single battle. It's fun at times, but it has so many incredibly boring quests, so much filler....it's 90% of the time just a mind-numbing experience.

@@mauriciogago4465 lightning returns gameplay wise is my favorite RPG of all time but the story is so numbingly atrocious that it keeps me from going back to it. I really liked 13-2 but yeah the characters were pretty lame I liked caius a lot I wish he was in a different game so other people would care about him. Noel was alright too and I like serah just because she isn't great. I have yet to play FF14 mainly because I'm not an online game guy but I'm bound to get to it eventually.

@@skeetyboot well you can try A Realm Reborn for free if you have time. Just don't go into crafting, it's a huge waste of time and completely pointless. All the equipment you need you'll get from the MSQ and there's no reason to get anything else until you're hundreds of hours into the game, if you ever get there...after ARR there's over 100 filler quests, I'm not kidding about this...worst game design I've ever seen.

Lol I asked the same question after watching his ranking video 😂

Such a great game! I used to get my but kicked until I realized it was heavily built on rock, paper, scissors.

yup, absolutely loved 13-2

You’re delusional

@@rickyroyce8162 why? because people like a game that you dont? lol

Ever played Radiant Historia?

It's my favorite. Didn't play ff13 but 2 was amazing. Having multiple pokemon like on your team with different abilities and roles

Amen

Yeah Red XIII is unforgettable. Best characters, my ass.

@@kevlar1482 easily best characters and no one cares about your ass

Trema in Active Mode, man that sent cold shivers down my spine. That sounds more terrifying than my worst nightmares. =D

cheeto man I suggest you play 1-6. GBA versions are good, and the PSP versions should work too.

The Elder Scrolls copied it.
