earthbound makes me want to barf because of those weird acid trip battle backgrounds. It is like the game wants the player to barf on their tv on purpose because the game is so shitty.

FF8 was my least favorite FF game, until X2 came along and turned everything into a joke. 12 was boring as all hell, but it was still not the clusterfuck X2 was, although FF8 vs 12 is a tough one for me.

FF8 was enjoyable, but Rinoa was the worst character since Aeris only to be upstaged by Yuna in later games.

Purple Filth · « **Reply #22 on:** October 05, 2008, 12:14:03 PM »

The game was lame and broken.

It was funny to see how the junction system made it broken though.

Final Fantasy 9 is better than 7, 8, 10 and 12 combined.

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #24 on:** October 05, 2008, 12:52:25 PM »

mmmm, ff8. mostly it was the awesome soundtrack and the junction system that made it for me. rinoa was a cockteasing whore and squall shoulda facepunted her for the hotty teacher quistis when he had the chance.

Tristam · « **Reply #32 on:** October 05, 2008, 02:48:32 PM »

8 is better than 3, 1, 5, 7, and 12 (in that order). 10 would be the best Final Fantasy if it weren't for a supremely unlikable cast.

eh FFVIII is the only FF that i completed just to say i did. the only thing that kept me going through it were the beautiful CGs. i finished the game without even trying to explore the battle mechanics (and the junction system behind it).

basically it's my least favorite final fantasy post FFVI.

Himuro: can you rank all your favorite FFs from best to worst (while mentioning the first one you played) please? the answer to this question always help me to understand other FF fans.

1. FFVIII
2. FFVI
3. FFX
4. FFVII
5. FFIV
6. FFV
7. FFIX
8. FFIII
9. FFI
10. FFII
11. FFXII

First FF was FFVII, but I like all the games in the series, even II...okay, not II. Except XII. XII is shit. But I don't like II NEARLY as much as I dislike XII.

Final Fantasy VIII

Over 1000? I spent about 100 hours in a game where I maximized absolutely everything so that I even had three sets of 100 Ultima spells. In fact most of my time was spent fucking around with junctioning, card playing, card modding, drawing, refining, etc. Going through the actual game was trivial since even boss fights took no more than a few seconds.

I never did have the patience to maximize stats in Final Fantasy X though (and besides, it's impossible to maximize ALL stats no matter what you do with the sphere grid and with armor abilities). I spent like 160 hours and eventually gave up.

Himu · « **Reply #53 on:** October 06, 2008, 04:31:22 AM »

Maxing stats in FF10 is ridiculous.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #55 on:** October 06, 2008, 05:17:10 AM »

I just download the saves of others who are foolish enough to max out everything.

First FF was FFVII, but I like all the games in the series, even II...okay, not II. Except XII. XII is shit. But I don't like II NEARLY as much as I dislike XII.

hmmm this is interesting because the only people i know who rank FFVIII above all FFs are the ones that started with VIII (much like everyone that got introduced to FF via VII and thus rank it above all).

but (and again this is imo) i doubt that you're being objective with your list as i doubt that had you started playing the FF pre VII your list list would be the same (at least IV and IX would rank higher)...

which reminds me: why is IX ranked 7th? :/

I love FFIV and FFIX. Why should FFIX be higher? FFIX is 7th because it's the weakest 3d FF next to FFXII, and unlike other games in the series, it fails to do anything new. It mostly borrows ideas from previous games in the series, and adds awesome production values all over them. A lot of the game creatively dead. It is like Final Fantasy Greatest Hits. That's not to say it isn't bad, because it isn't, but when there are other factors that lower overall enjoyment level of FFIX as well, such as having perhaps the slowest battle system in the series, and the amount of throw away characters it ranks low on the list. But to be honest, it's really only disc 2-4 that does it in. Disc 1 was and still is amazing.

And really? Most people I know who love FFVIII are ones who like the older FF's.

But remember what I said, the only FF I honestly really don't like is XII.

Himu · « **Reply #57 on:** October 06, 2008, 10:24:25 AM »

I played I-VI before IX.

I went through V and VI in 1999 on FF Anthology.

I-III I played via emulator in 2000. I played a good portion of FFIV on snes emulator and dropped it when i heard they might bring out the psx version to the US.

Himu · « **Reply #58 on:** October 06, 2008, 10:42:14 AM »

Well, despite my complaints about the game, it's still an important game to me. It was the first rpg I played that didn't take me FOREVER to beat. Well, I guess Pokemon and FFI-III count too. But with FFIX, I spent 75-80 hours on it and beat it within a month. Beat it on Christmas day 2000. With FFVII and VIII it took me 3 months plus to beat them.

ShogunOfFear · « **Reply #59 on:** October 06, 2008, 12:42:50 PM »

Replaying 8 now while my 360 is getting repaired. I forgot how good jrpgs could be probably because I haven't enjoyed a console jrpg since FF9. 8 holds up pretty well, much better than 7 does anyway, but my top 3 rank would still have to be

FF7 > FF9 > FF8
