I played it as a kid still learning English (not my first language) and still got it.. Silly people

I think its a case of the meme overtaking the context: more people have seen the scene by itself without context than people who have played the game and gotten to that point in the story, and thats why it has become the butt of jokes despite it actually making sense: most people dont even KNOW it was supposed to be awkward by design.

Because typically it's played out of context

It's still bad! I know it's made that way on purpose... but if I'm cringy as hell intentionally, that doesnt make it better! Ps: just realized this is from year ago! See you a year later I guess...

Wut? they kinda say it in their dialogue. How can you not get it? Is that why so many hate it? wtf? I just thought the laugh itself sounded weird and awkward. But I understood the scene, so I didn't care so much about it. I mean FFX was the first FF with voice acting, so it was the first FF where things started getting a bit awkward from time to time. But that's Japan for you I guess? KIngdom hearts is also like that, but it's not a big deal.

Same

@Insight Hazard you're the first person I've seen say that. Most people discard that game, I thoroughly enjoyed XIII. I played Lightning Returns and wasn't crazy about it, but haven't played -2

FFX isn't my favorite game ever, but it comes in a close second (as of now). I've been playing it on and off since I was a toddler, and within my very core, FFX is my favorite.

As of now, I've only played 7 and 8, but I'd ADORE getting to FF10, especially considering how cheap it is. A website I go to is selling both X and X-2 for around $13, so I've gotta pick it up soon!

@@niche8137 In 6 you'll see all the things that eventually became 7. 10 is arguably better than 7, and I say this as a long and accomplished 7 player. 10 is much like 7 but more urgency and desperation in the story and characters. Best soundtrack by far as well. No questions asked pick up the PS4 version.

They were apparently pretty rare though. I never experienced one on my first playthrough.

@@edwardboland8957 I was going to say, I didnt remember getting one at all.

I've only gotten 1 and I've played the game through several times.

You also had to have certain weapons equipped as well if I recall.

I only got one for my entire play through and it was Locke’s

SuperKeith00 I am not sure if Jirard will like the Jumproping.

Excalibur II and King of jump rope...

Jigsaw B I didn't think about that....Good point.

yeah too bad it took years for someone to find the one talking scene that not even the creators remembered that they put in the game

I'm not a fan of FF9 overall, but the ending scenes vastly improved my opinion of the game and especially Zidane as the main protagonist (he went from "meh" to "best protagonist in the series").

^^^^^^^^^^^

Princess Brianna FFVIII FTW!

FFXIII was my first final fantasy, and yeah it's my favorite.

I wholeheartedly agree with the notion that the first one becomes ones favorite because FFX was my first, and still to this day, is my favorite of the bunch.

I wholeheartedly disagree. X was my first, and I just consider it okay. VII was much later for me, but it became my favorite. Then when I played IX, it was tied for favorite. However, the most recent FF for me was XIV, and despite multiplayer games not being my thing, let alone freaking MMOs, it absolutely eclipsed VII and IX for me.

@@keybladesrus nice! I haven't ever played XIV so I'll have to try it sometime.

I m still waiting for FF6 remake

Goddamn, I agree so much. There will never be another gaming experience like it, I fear. It is the most complete game of all time.

Xenoblade chronicles maybe?

How they handled the diverging plotlines was great, still stands out even today in terms of great storytelling.

I shall attempt to provide just such an experience.

InMaTeofDeath crucified upside down like st Peter?

Exactly

If your opinion is different from mine you are wrong!

I just find it funny that for a top 10 list, he excluded all spin-offs, side-games and MMO versions of Final Fantasy. You realize that only leaves 12 titles left right? That means he only left 2 out of all possible choices off this list. I'm not complaining, I just find it funny. He should of cut it down to top 5 to give them more meaning in my opinion.

Grassy Bear Well no shit it would be the same list. But with the way he set up the parameters for which games he included for nomination, it leaves literally only 2 titles off the list. I just think it was bad wording to make it a "Top 10" rather than a "best to worst" list and then he could of included the last 2 titles. Yes the list would be the same if there are only 5, but when you tell everyone they're special, are any of then really special? That's my point about making a top 10 with only 12 options to choose from.

.....yet you still watched the video? Were you upset by this video? Did it offend you? Should you get a life?

23456dc Yes I did. Nope. Not at all. Probably. Sorry that you guys can't handle a simple comment. I think you're the one who was offended.

If you make a top 10 list, and there's only 10 options to even choose from, is it really a top 10? No. It becomes a "here's a list of all of them" video, not a "top 10 best" list.

I've never played a game like it ever again. Everything has been disappointing in my life since I first played it in ~2004 or 5. KH2 was nice though

There will never be a better game than X. VII gets alot of love and its well deserved but X is a masterpiece through and through

X is just such a grinddddd

I loath that ball mini game though

My two favorite I liked nine the best but seven was also amazing!!!

Wht about 8

@@lucaskopedr6923 It sucks.... Best not to waste his time ;-)

@@JohnSmith-ch9sm Its the best game in the series though

@@lankeysob I'm glad someone thinks so.... ;-) Seriously... that game... oof.. plot makes no sense and the game mechanics are broken.

I like IV too, isn't it clear? (My damn username and pfp is a reference to a certain summoner.)

I feel like the debate is typically between 4, 6, and 9 for best ff game. My first ff game was 7 but I loved 4.

For me, it is a childhood connection, but I feel like it really set off what the rest of series was gonna be like; a set of stories that each come with their likable casts and interesting plots. =Y

Unity Alpha ummm. no, 7 is ALWAYS in the equation also... always has been since release.

Same here, I'm playing 6 as an adult but I grew up with 4. A lot of the good things that were brought to the series that Jirard talks about started in 4.. not 6 :P

You should honor your canal's name by finish ffix

Indeed he should. Getting passed the events in Treno will reward him with plenty of story. But Treno will be SO for our Bearded hero, that he might not want to leave, as there PLENTY of secrets both in and out of the City :)

Funny enough IX is the only one I've ever been determined enough to finish. It's so good.

The only thing that prevents this game from being the best RPG of all time for me is that it had that part where you were forced to play the card game even though it treats it like an option/extra before then. But besides that it’s perfect. Unforgettable characters, music, scenery, style, everything!

I'm pretty sure you don't have to win that tournament though. I think you can lose in the first round and then the plot progresses

Graphics were a huge improvement over 7

Is the 8 remake any good?

Its a great game. Its such a good one to play on a snowy day and vibe too.

the junction system sucks so I didnt play it

What I love from ff8 is doomtrain and Diablos obtaining them was a priority as soon as a was able to get the chance to get them I would

Which one is it?

Ready for this... ff7 is my game I never make it through

@@Sevo- prepare to commit not alive

@@arcstar8337 is it self sleep forever kinda deal, or is it a you inhibit self sleep forever?

Best one!

@@Sevo- yes

Yeah 6 and 4 are the best... but they're too ugly for people to like.

Jason Ortiz If anyone would admit that, they clearly play games for the wrong reasons. Or if nothing else, prioritize other elements of a game over the whole package.

It's a tie for me between 4, 6 and 10. All great games and I can't decide which I like more.

Ah, Final Fantasy VI, the game with a one-dimensional villain so bland that he needed entirely rewritten when the game was localized (and Woolsey's version became canon). The game with half a story , that just forgets to give you the second half. The game whose heroes' only real motive throughout the game is that they're the protagonists. A hodgepodge of gimmicky characters where half of them have barely any development and the ones that do only have like 2-3 good scenes to go off of.

Altier Randomness Half a story and half open endness is a strength; best of both worlds. The rest is critique from a modern perspective mostly. Consider the game’s contemporaries.

i agree

Yeah 9 is great but 8 is sheeeiite

Yes i agree aswell. But...its also the first one i played so that explains why its my favorite. :3 I just wanna play that game again cuz its so good! My favorite charaters were Vivi and Amarant (amarant cuz he's cool... dunno why) but Steiner was a super fun character. I havent finised ffVIII yet...(at the second disc x3)

vivi is my favourite from IX. but what's cool about amarant? he's awful in battle and I found him annoying. He's as bad as cait sith.

@dedpul i defenetly understand why people dont like amarant...but i like him only of his looks...(i like edgy characters...i know thats stubid xd) i still gotta admit that i didnt like him at first one bit...i found him only useful because of his chakra by givin the team mp points ^-^" but...more i think about the character now...the less i like him...well...that explains it xd (sorry for the long reply...)

I enjoyed FF13 as well. Gotta say that 10, 13, and 15 are my top three finale fantasy's. Not necessarily in that order tho.

I wish we could play XIII on the ps4 🙂

i also love 13, however f*** some of those side quests, like giant cautuar and the fuckerss the require either insta death spam or overleveled. i never got around to finishing it but i will soon reply it as well as its sequels. (the music is so good especially 13-2's last hunter)

Thank you

RIght? I loved the game up to the point my little brother deleted my file 30 hours in. Still have yet to finished but I still loved every second of it.

I think you're right. It was a good idea but severely underused, so glad limit breaks were created! They're awesome to use and add that little smidge extra strategy that forced you to decide whether to try and take damage or not when the limit bar was close to full.

Erik Dresner Yep, that's actually the origin of Limit Breaks.

VII was the Trope Codifier, in a sense, even though it also named them.

The Satellite Shame Shame Shame!

IV is great 😊

Imo you played the best first

VIII was my first game, but it's not my favorite (but in the Top 10). I was inspired to play IV by playing the first Dissidia. Cecil and Golbez fascinated me so much that I wanted to know more about them. That is where I began to play it. And it hooked me immediately and I didn't let go of it. The Story is great, the characters are great, the music is just amazing. There is actually no characrer I really dislike, okay, except for 2 (Rydia, because she was way more adorable and interesting when she was still a child (no pedo or homo). The moment she was introduced as an adult, all her charm was gone... Then Kain, who I couldn't stand from the beginning). Theme of Love is among my favorite Soundtracks of all time. Also FFIV contains 3 characters who win in each one categorie in my lists: Favorite Final Fantasy Main Character of all time (Cecil), Favorite Female Final Fantasy Character of all time (Rosa) and Favorite Animated Character of all time (Golbez). I have played it's sequel, Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, as well for HOURS (this and FFIV combined, plus replaying and playing (almost) all versions (FFIV on SNES, GBA, DS, Android and Steam and the Sequel on Nintendo Wii, Android and Steam), probably 1000+ hours. And I am not even bored with 'em. This game just fascinates me. And it all started when I played Dissidia first and got hooked by both Cecil and Golbez (the latter was, is and will be always my main in every Dissidia Game ♡). It's, without a doubt, Hironobu Sakaguchi's Magnum Opus. And I am so gratefull for playing this Madterpiece.

Lol

Worth $50 on Xbox, I remember liking it a lot on ps2 back when I was very young and I’m thinking about replaying it?

dakota webb I cannot recommend this highly enough. That game isn’t just fun (best turn-based FF gameplay IMO)-it’s profoundly moving. From the unbelievable set design, the world building that makes you truly care, the mind-blowingly brilliant plot, and my personal favorite FF soundtrack, it’s a masterpiece that should be experienced by everyone willing to give it a go.

kwhyland I’m playing 9 right now because it’s on the Xbox game pass, I’ll consider buying it after i finish 9, and if I do I’ll let u know what I think

I totally agree, dude. FFV had an awesome class system and had a sense of humor that was unique to the series. I think it's super underrated.

Roland Zimmerman Easily the best gameplay in the series.

5 is amazing. Playing it through now atm

I do its sheeeiite

V is my second favourite in the series behind 7

Royal jester you said you play it to feel good but FF 9 isn't a very feel good game you know that

Gabe playz Video games well it feels good to play the story again. it's not the happiest story but the character remain upbeat and funny all the way through :)

I am right there with you. I have probably played this game more than any other both times played and total time played.

That's fine I am not critising

Christopher D Drew yeah same here. the only game i may have more hours than ff9 is chrono trigger , another game i complete periodically.

actually that honor goes to kotor 2/fallout new vegas/fallout 2/baldur's gate 2/planescape torment muhahhahahahahha

I like 7 better than 6. I LOVE 6, don't get me wrong. And Chrono Trigger? 😍😍😍

@@lawsonashurst7314 he obviously meant jrpg

@@lawsonashurst7314 He was talking about JRPGs. Western RPGs are a very different genre, despite their common origins. And besides, none of those are as good as FF6 or Chrono Trigger. ;)

@@Jayce_Alexander i learned that from a previous reply, and i was joking, but it's heavily debatable and based upon what you want out of an RPG, i prefer WRPGs, cause they tend to have legitimate roleplaying and not just base itself having turn based combat and party mechanics. Despite absolutely loving the JRPG genre, WRPG tend to be way better on the side of roleplaying, whereas JRPGs usually have better world-building and exploration, and whatnot in my experience.

While it's not my favorite, I agree that it DESERVES to be played. FF9 is just great, and an amazing gift for longtime fans of the series.

I have the same problem as Jirard. I love playing it, but the furthest I've gotten is the beginning of disc 3. I don't know why I can never finish it lol

I use to have the same issue of finishing that game as well. Currently, I picked up the remake on PS4 and I'm storming through the story every time I get the chance (Nearing the end of disc 3 at the moment). It's like a final fantasy, jrpg gumbo; it contains all the awesome aspects of every single game leading to it. It's got airships, interesting kingdoms, lovable characters, and a bunch of stuff on the side that's loaded to the brim with extra content. Plus, compared to the other titles, it feels like I'm playing a folktale that has been passed down from generation to generation; gaining new aspects to the story from every new storyteller that somehow make the story even better. Personally, I believe that it's the one game in the entire Final Fantasy series that deserves the name Final Fantasy. Not because it's best in the series, but it *feels* like the proper way to end the Final Fantasy series.

Yeah, it is completely amazing. I think what happens with me is that my OCD kicks in and I try to get every single little thing, including all the abilities, which I guess eventually burns me out lmao

9 is fantastic it probably has the best ending of the entire franchise. The end game reveals to what Zidane and Kuja origins are great. I also like how it starts off light hearted and gets progressively more dark as the game goes on.

Go 12

XII and XV are the best

V & IX are the best imo.

Probably because he played III first. They are kinda similar in a lot of ways. From the sounds of it, he likes them all.

I'm not sure why not FFI. That game is iconic in many ways, and if it wasn't for that game alone, we might have never had Final Fantasy.

AHylianWarrior He really does. I recently got it on my ps4 and been putting so much time into it, grinding to master skills so my party gets even better, vivi with all the magics, freya and her godly dragoon skills, dagger with summons and so forth. I missed this game so so much and love it to pieces. 💙

We really need a sequel to Final Fantasy IX, so many unanswered questions.

You mean the remake? That could take a while since most of 7 isn't even covered.

@@randomduck8679 and 6 is a long game

@@randomduck8679 and 6 is a long game

I believe a designer at Square Enix has actually said that if remaking VII is Super Hard mode, remaking VI is Impossible mode. It's just too big and intricate.

@@Massiveillusion14 Gotta agree. 6 was way too bloated and people wouldn’t really like it nowadays. It worked back then, it won’t work or resonate with today.

Thanks Kefka

Michael Mooney They were called Desperation Attacks, not limit breaks. Yes they were the precursor to the limit breaks used in ff7 and on, but thats it.

Playa is right. Also, they were extremely unreliable unlike a limit break that works every time.

Riot blade...

They're completely useless though. One might argue that an implementation this thoroughly failed doesn't really count. I mean, even Trance in FF9 has more uses.

To be fair he put it in #1 so :D

FF8 is criminally underrated

Its fucking awful the junction system ruins it. Ahhhh don’t miss those days players were expected to enjoy the game mechanic of being psychic to beat a game

Ryan Mahaffey compared to 6 no but yeah I think the game gets shitted on for no reason

@@kratos.8151I loved the junction system. To each his own I guess!

@@kratos.8151 dude what do you mean? I was an 8yo kid when I was playing it and I was doing great. It's not a super complex system and, imho, it makes the players strategize more if they should use strong magics for junctions or combat or just junction them but be ready to have their stats worsen as the combats continue if they don't have access to the card transmutation system. I still remember when the game introduces you to Status Junctions and I learned to do Sleeping attacks, Slow attacks or Novox attacks. Plus, acquiring some GFs trivializes some fights, even some boss ones (like using Cerberus and then Carbuncle on your party against Edea made her completely useless). It's not a perfect system (far from it) but it doesn't ruin the game.

I did too...somewhat. It's far from my favorite and I dislike several things about it, but it's also far from my least favorite. You might not necessarily agree but one thing I like that many people give it shit for is the characters. This video specifically shit on the development, but the development was actually a positive experience for me. I started the game hating basically all of them, except Sazh because Sazh was always cool. By the end of the game I loved/liked all of them...except snow because fuck snow. I also liked the general idea behind the story. Actually reminded me a bit of X which was my favorite. The whole "if things go wrong, we're fucked, if things go right, we're still fucked" kinda thing, like what happened with Yuna and Tidus. The battle system as a whole was OK in the sense of i'ma fan of ATB, but I hated that...I think I forget the mechanic...juggling? Staggering? You know what i mean, how you do very little damage to enemies until you hit a certain breaking point that makes them vulnerable for a certain amount of time. That turned me off a bit. The stories potential was great, but the devil is in the details. For starters, it flash backed that that firework scene way too god damn much. And one of its greatest strengths to me (by the end at least), its characters, took a long time for me to open up to which desensitized me to many early events. Also because it didn't feel like it had a real main character (lightning may be the mascot but everyone feels pretty equally involved), it felt a bit unfocused at times. It also made the times in focused on snow, the one person I disliked from start to finish, painful to sit through. It also sucked because of all the switching around it did. first I playing this group for 20+ minutes, then this group, then a different group, back to this other group...mot other games in the franchise at the very least keep you with the MC 90% of the time (rarely straying, and if so it doesn't stray for long) I hear complaints about the linearity, but thats not necessarily a problem for me. Afterall, my favorite FF game (and honestly my favorite game of all time) is just as linear, only opening up late game, just like XIII, and not a whole lot of reason to actually DO anything when the world opened up. You just go to an old spot for a few minutes to pick up some item or do some minigame to unlock a celestial weapon or capture weak ass monsters to unlock super bosses and move on. So X opening up is really almost a lie. But that didn't matter. Because the story and characters were so enjoyable I felt compelled to move forward. I may have been mostly forced to move forward, but it felt like I had agency because I truly WANTED to go forward. The game and i were in agreement. With XIII, because of the weak early story and characters...I didn't care about moving forward, thus it felt like I was forced into it. Also didn't help that the shops weren't actual shops and were just part of the save crystal thing IIRC, thus we were basically shopping online...made the world feel less alive even though it looked so beautiful with its next gen graphics compared to X. So the problem isn't that the game is linear, tis that the beginning of the game is so bleh that moving forward feels like a chore and not an adventure. The level up system. The sheer fact that it hard caps me. I'm a bit of a grinder by nature (on my 6th playthrough of kingdom hearts 1, I stayed on destiny island until I was max level just to see which, if any, early game bosses i could one shot and see how long I could one shot them XD) and dislike a game telling me "you cant go on...for now, but you totally can later :D". it really rustled my jimmies. I don't like being told "no" for an answer that should clearly be "yes". Honestly the game just didn't feel fun till a little over half way in. No game, especially a FF game which has a rabid fanbase with large expectations, should take that long to git gud. Also dont make us read so damn much. i'm not against reading. I like reading. BUT I'm not playing a game to read (unless theres no voice acting, but subtitles dont count!!! lol). All those text logs and stuff were so tedious. This is also a problem with XV. If you can't present your world, story, and characters properly enough through organic gameplay, then you failed, simple as that. And stop making up so many proper nouns damn it. The "fal cie" (spelling) cou;d have just been, i dunno, gods or something and "la cie" people chosen by the gods. Thats just one example, i only played the game once and that was on release And lastly, the combat roles. I LOVE the class job system in the FF series. After X, V is probably my favorite FF. And the thing about all those is, is that if everyone can do the same role, they should all be equal at it. The fact that everyone was really only good at a few things and completely sucked in other areas not only forces you to use characters you may not want to use because you need a particular role (by end game I only disliked snow as I said, but I'm in the minority. the fanbase seems to hate most of the characters, especially hope lol. so being forced to use certain ones can be an issue.) or be forced into a particular playstyle because of the battle mechanics and limited availability of said roles among all characters. Either make it so everyone is just 1 thing (like in FFIV) and dont let us switch at all, or let everyone switch to anything and have everyone be equals in those roles. I like my freedom, tyvm But thats the negatives. The game looks beautiful, the characters EVENTUALLY become likable, the story is overall interesting. The game itself is so freaking interesting that here i am talking about its pro's and cons on the internet. I think it's biggest sin is that it has so much missed potential. This had the potential to be a truly fantastic game and ended up (in my opinion, I understand you feel different) one of the greats. But its so middle of the road for me.

I apologize for the rant, but god damn something about that game just urges me to talk about it lol

You wrote a whole thesis fam. Lol

FFXIII was the best

*Throws Serah at Hope* Now where's Snow, so those two can argue?

Above Chrono Trigger?

+raphi And how about that Xenogears, am I right?

raphi I played both FF VI & Chrono Trigger. Thought Chrono Trigger was way more mind blowing

raphi I haven't played chrono tigger yet. I'm going to do this after I finish earthbound

Yes I got hyped too!

Ff tactics is so often overlooked. I can't help but view people who have never played it as FF casuals.

Wow. Exactly the same for me :)

What variety though? He excluded MMOs and Spinoffs, so it's a top 10 out of 13 games

Shin_Sello 13 is still a pretty high number, and the games do have enough variety even if you exclude the spin-offs and MMOs.

how is 13 a high number, if you're doing a top 10?

gilgamesh is also the best character in the series

yeah; it definitely has one of my favourite iterations of the job-system. i also feel like there's some potential to go more in-depth with the story if they did a proper remake.

Yes

Sabin is RE5 Chris Redfield before it was cool.

Agreed, Final Fantasy V is fantastic! One of the things that I love most about the series is that each game feels so distinct from the others without losing what makes a Final Fantasy a Final Fantasy game. I never understood why people complained about the difficulty of V, though. Going in, I heard that it was really tough, but the only hard part was Exdeath's final form. The only way I was able to beat it was by mimic-ing gil toss with all of my guys to attack all the parts of it at once. I really want to replay it soon to 100% the game, and beat it legit!

Leon Hell yeah! Love him and those awesome moves!

Jordan3D I beat him by doing gil toss combined with my mimes doing tons of Flare and Holy Spells, the chicken knife was also helpful.

Just a VI remake in general that's not one of the ISO games

I wouldn't say a full remake since I dunno it just feels like it would be needlessly melodramatic with full 3d models. It's the kinda game that should be paired with high detailed models smaller not particularly sprites though.

Nay, FF6 has some of the most beautiful graphics of all time, so idk that I'd want to mess with it.

I'll always admire the Gameboy Advance versions of FFIV, FFV, and FFVI. They are faithful to the originals, but clean up the translation issues, give us a better script, restore the gameplay to what it was meant to be, and fix some bugs. The graphics are delicately enhanced, without deviating too far. Then there's a bit of extra post-game content for fun. I want every Final Fantasy to always have a version available along these lines. Beyond that, it would be cool to see FFVI get something like what FFIII and FFIV got on the DS. Or what Secret of Mana is getting, soon. A humble, not-too-fancy update where the characters can get a bit more definition and start to resemble their original designs more than just a squatty sprite. Maybe some of the story scenes are a bit more expanded, or concepts are expressed with more detail. It's hard to imagine the soundtrack needing any improvement, but a fresh take on it with today's tech might be interesting -- imagine the Opera scene with voiced lyrics, or Dancing Mad empowered with modern instruments and samples. One thing I used to wish for, was a full-on modern HD remake of the game, using advanced graphical techniques so that the whole game really looked like Yoshitaka Amano's original art style. They could do that today if they wanted, however, the cynical grown-up in me knows that Square Enix would never had the desire or ability to do that.

+DreyfussFrost I assume your sentiment is to keep the game as faithful to the original design as possible. However, the SNES version of FFVI is terrible. Pubs are censored to be "cafés," much of the English script is nonsense, item names are meaningless gobbledygook. There are some pretty huge bugs that need addressing, including Relm's "Sketch" ability crashing the game if you use it on certain enemies (I think it might even permanently corrupt your save file), and the "Vigor" stat never even did anything. I loved FFVI on SNES as much as anyone, but let's not pretend it is perfect and couldn't benefit from some improvements.

XV is probably one of my favorites because it was my first, I didn’t like FFVI either. Just didn’t like the characters.

Idot it took me 14 hours to complete Final Fantasy 4 what the hell is going on with his review? In the time it's been since his Final Fantasy 3 review I have completed Final Fantasy 1 4 5 7 8 and 9.

Good because he hurts me everytime he shits on XIII. Name me one influential KZfaqr that actually likes XIII? None. AlphaOmegaSin doesn't count he's a complete tool.

Uh, The Completionist?

I think Jared's list is vastly shuffled compared to this one.

Literally everyone. But if you need names (at the time) Spoony. No one likes that peice of shit except for contrarians, and people who don't ACTUALLY want to play a game, they want to watch a movie filled with shitty characters and plot. FFXIII is Spirits Within: The Game. Nothing to do with FF Terrible characters Nonsensical writing that breaks it's own rules.

I'm so sorry.

why are you sorry? that game was soooo amazing, i wish they did the same with VI, would have been outstanding.

I had heard that the DS remake was unnecessarily difficult, the gameplay gimmick wasn't introduced well, and the voice acting I had seen from it was... questionable. But if you enjoyed it, I won't say that you're wrong.

Dude what are you talking about, if you know how that game works it gets easy as hell, sure, some fights are difficult but if you manage to understand it gets so easy, if you know how to play the game you can easily do 2000+ damage as soon as you get polom and porom, not to mention using the items do as much damage as magic and you don't even waste mp, you can even cast the "Break" magic later on in the game trough a item and sometimes it can instakill enemies, perfect for farming purposes, they mixed FFIII item abilities with FFIV and it was awesome, and what do you mean the voice acting was quesitonable?!?! Yuri lowenthal and Liam o brian where perfect casts for Cecil and Kain, in fact everyone was! if only Square did the same with the old school final fantasy games, i imagine everyone would fall in love with final fantasy more and more.

You have to understand that some of my knowledge of the game is secondhand. I didn't play it mostly off of recommendation from friends (plus, FFIV isn't my favorite of the early FFs). I won't budge on the voice acting though. Again, I didn't hear much of it, but Cecil's ridiculous shrieking of "WHY?!" somehow turned the destruction of Mist into a comedy.

that guy SAAAMMMEEE

Eric Jones ff5 is has the best job class system, those who do not agree must be shunned

Yeah, the success of FFVI and every game afterwards owes a lot to FFV and everything it got right.

I love V. The job system is too deep for a single play through.

Eric Jones V seemed like such a letdown after 4 to me, but then again, I’m not a fan of the job class system. I much prefer larger casts and the job class system tends to limit it at around 4 playable characters.

Yeah, unfortunately its because it wasn't localized in the us, I wonder how it fares in Japanese top 10s

I'm probably a bit late but whatever. If you liked XV, I'd also recommend VII Remake and XII: The Zodiac Age.

MrButternuss 5 is so underrated. It doesn't get enough love. It's in my top 5 in the series.

I would agree. I adore Final Fantasy 5. It's a wonderful game. The stuff that the competitionist liked about FF3 was sharpened and enhanced in 5. Plus Battle on the Big Bridge and Gilgamesh.

They said if the VII remake does well they'll consider the other titles.

They hurted my feelings by making remakes and stopped by FFIV. :( It would be amazing to have a total remaster of FFVI if that happens, though!

Someone suggested they do it with the Octopath Traveller engine. Yes please

Remakes never capture the magic of the original. Just enjoy the memories bro.

I guess that people forget that it has been remade just for mobile phones though. Much in the same way 5 has.

TheDarkM me too, the thing I hate the most is the comparisons to VII and VIII, it's like people are saying it's a fact that VII is better and VIII is just shit.

I love FF8, really connected with Squall at the time with where I was in life. That being so low and 15 being above 4 are the only real differences I have with this list.

i liked 8 and don't understand the hate for it

I like it a lot too, but I understand the hate. The GF Junction system isn't as good as the materia system from FFVII or as the AP system from IX, and the story feels a bit all over the place at some points. Still a great game in my opinion though.

I loved 8 when I played it all those years ago. Looking back I feel like the only actual problem is that you have to draw from monsters so many times. I think if you could just draw once or so, the game would be just fine

and it was done with big ass pixel just imagine the posibilities

YAS!

I think he even stated in his FFVII series that 6 was his all time favorite. Also mentioned it quite a few times on his streams and Super Beard Bros.

I hate VIII but agree that its soundtrack is the BEST

It's always interesting to see how split people are on 8. You really do either seem to love it or hate it. It's by far my favorite in the series. The atmosphere and art really push it beyond the rest for me. Definitely something special I haven't seen anywhere else in the medium. I don't care about the Draw system or the card thing, the mechanics aren't what do it for me. Just the art of it. But we all have wildly different opinions. I really, really don't like 9. I tried to play through it a year or two ago, and it was just so boring. I watched a LP to finish it, still didn't like it whatsoever. It's like 8 is everything I like in the series, while 9 is everything I don't. They're drastically different games, so that makes enough sense.

No, I remember just how striking VIII was aesthetically (from the opening cinematic!), on release, compared to VII

So many classic themes in FF8! I love how people either hate X or it's basically their favorite. What a silly phenomenon.

Same

Do it man. FF6 is a master piece and my fave.

BubbyBoy 9 is hands down the best one imo

I'm here to give you some hate. OK here you go. Thanks bye.

12 is my favorite too, but for different reasons; I don't care much for the quest to restore a throne plot, I more love the setting, the world, and the atmosphere, I just love Ivalice

peregrine I love the atmosphere too, but to be honest i don't much care for the tactics games, they are just not my cup of tea.

Balthier is one of the best characters in the Final Fantasy universe and hes essentially just Han Solo

good Gameplay but shitty plot + characters

The politics in this game was so spot on. The hunts, dungeons, and battle system were supreme. The only bad thing about the game was Vaan.

Bootleggz IX was amazing
