I don't put enough stock into this series to care enough to rank 14 titles.

I played more of 11 than the rest of my time in 14 or any of the others combined.
As far as I'm concerned, 11 carried that Square on its back after Spirits Within flopped.

Stella is gone, the dream is dead. Tabata = hack confirmed.

#Bore mods <3

Beating Turn 9 in Second Coil is... taking longer than I thought it would.

I'll see past Heavensfall someday. I know Phase 1 and 2 like the back of my hand already, but have only ever seen the Ghost of blah blah once and immediately wiped cause the blue golem's paralysis had gone off. Gets annoying to have to teach every new party I try how to deal with meteor placement.

Meteors are only annoying if no one knows what the fuck to do.
I can imagine that being a pain in the ass going in with fresh people each time.
Personally I do it now in my sleep up to the final phase, but I recall a time when it was a fucking struggle to even make out out of golems.

Fucking green golem was a dick and no one ever stopped that fucking blue one from doing its paralysis.
Fucking bards.

Square pushed an update for console Type-0 that deals with the same "fixes" that PC would be getting. Camera, motion blur...

My entire raid group is going to be gone the first week of prelaunch.
I won't even be back from vacation till the 29th
pause

Alexander isn't gonna be available until two weeks from launch anyway.

Beat the Heavensward Main Scenario Quest. Everything about this expansion is fantastic.

Paladin got a bunch of utility actions that greatly improve his party support as well as a straight up DPS weaponskill. I love it.

I was gone two days this weekend so I'm behind on Heavensward.  My Free Company (guild) was racing to kill the extreme primals and got world 3rd kill on Bismarck Extreme and world 5th kill on Ravana Extreme!

I'm still grinding to level 57.  The story is fucking classic FF and is shaping up to be one of my favorite FF stories ever.  It's very FFIV in tone (even has some FFIV preorder bonus trinkets).  The story is to me what Final Fantasy was when I was growing up (i.e. FF 1 and 4).

I'm digging paladin's new abilities so far.  I think it'll remain the go-to main tank job for the foreseeable future.

FFXIV Heavensward has my favorite story of any FF ever!

The new raid came out yesterday.  It's Alexander.  You have to fight him from the inside out. 



Alexander has a full-on steampunk visual theme.  That raid music is unlike anything I've ever heard in a FF game (most of us quite like it).  You even get to ride some steam-powered tachikoma-like personal tanks inside the raid and can acquire one as a mount outside the raid.



The Alexander raid is "Normal Mode" which is easier than the Extreme Primals.  My team beat all four floors last night.  "Savage Mode" is coming out in two weeks.

I always felt the "performance"/sound production of FF12 soundtrack didn't really do the composition justice, so a newly recorded/produced version would be interesting.

tabata changed things from the original versus, we don't know what the full plan is yet, but fan reaction is:


Quote from: Illucio;174343341
I'm really getting tired of Tabata's reasoning for all these changes....

Basically there are 0 reasons for him to be taking out characters or let alone making clones of the same character with a different name to replace the old one. He is self inserting himself so hard in this game that it should be considered borderline rape. If the new trailer isn't proof enough of his self-inserting, anything to do with Luna/Stella is.


I miss Nomura's vision of this game... That's the game I wanted. ._.

If you look at the recent FF15 info thread on gaf, all of the bulletpoints point to being butthurt over no reason.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE.

Stans beating off for years over the crumbs of info SE threw at them are the worst.

Bu bu but we knew from the trailers and concep-
FOH you didn't know shit, now you're looking like fools crying over fanart of a character they barely knew shit about.

so this means that fans that'll end up disappointed with ff15 will forever be going "just think of what the game coulda been like!" despite the fact that the old team could never get their shit together enough to deliver a finished product?

Type-0 and Crisis Core are great games.

Crisis Core kinda wasn't that good. :yeshrug was mediocre at best, haven't played type, but hear similar things

I like em both, so eh.  :yeshrug

I just want XV to be out already so they can move on from that mess and work on something new, completely unrelated to the FNC baggage they keep lugging around.  That hole mess needs to be buried six feet under and never brought up again.

crisis core was a great game gtfo

fun combat system, entertaining story aside from genesis, amazing graphics and soundtrack. it also did a fantastic job of keeping the same balance of somber and goofy that the original had, with lots of silly minigames and whatnot. my favorite ff pre/sequel after 10-2.

Crisis Core was OK, though the random level up system was pretty weird, the sidequests were so repetitive it made Mass Effect 1's look unique, and the less said about Genesis the better.

I really did like Type-0 though (aside from locking story scenes behind a replay, which I still have to do :piss2), but I made concessions due to the fact it was originally a PSP game.

stupid roulette system, lots of random variables, mediocre and repetitive side quests/missions, genesis sucked, battle system that got old. It's pretty mediocre beyond certain areas of the game (mostly Nibelheim, and anything Cloud/Sephiroth/Zack related in terms of characterization) and a fantastic ending. Game is highly over hyped and the best thing about it is that, Genesis aside, it carries the spirit of FF7 the best out of all of the Compilation thingies and is a wonderful example of fanservice and solid prequel storytelling.  As a game though, it's highly lacking in many core (lol) areas.

Nearing the end of FFXIII, about to finish chapter 12, do all the hunts I haven't done, and then beat the last boss in chapter 13.

Going back to the game when you're on Chapter 11 almost washes the first 20 hours out of your mouth. I've had a blast for the past 30 hours playing the game, doing a lot of hunting missions, acquiring/upgrading the best weapons for the three characters I use the most (Hope, Vanille, Lightning), upgrading and dismantling items to get haste boots and shit that charges the ATB gauge.

It's almost unbelievable that such a great game is hidden behind 20 hours of thumb twiddling and terrible storytelling fuckery. That's been the consensus for a long time now, but I'm surprised how fun FFXIII is, and could've been.
OH!

I recently completed FFXIII and things did pick up a lot after Chapter 11.  I would have taken a much shorter game over one that has a horrible bloated first half with glacial pacing and slogging through endless trash mobs. I enjoyed the missions and pulverizing the last series of bosses as well.

Great games if you're a Japanese salaryman who rides the subway every day and plays games only on his PSP.

I don't know if anyone else would consider them great games.

All Third Birthday had to do was revamp the PE2 ARPG system to be less Resident Evil-y and it would've been perfect for the PSP platform. But nooooooooo. We get terrible shootan and story. :-X :yuck
