10 as the best? Really?

Was it the first one you played? My theory is that everyone has fond memories of the first one they played, so they rank it higher than they should. Not a problem for me, since I played the first one first and it's, you know, not really that good.

My first Final Fantasy was a SaGa game rebadged as a Final Fantasy for the U.S. I feel this is illustrative.

Apparently not, since a lot of people dig the cast of characters, world, story/plot, the soundtrack is more memorable. Being linear is a problem for some people, sure, but I've never been in awe of a Final Fantasy overworld since FFVII. FFXIII's problems stem from everything that isn't combat.

FFXII is fucking boring, an offline MMO with boring characters, a boring soundtrack, a boring story. The gambit system was a bitch to play around with and set up, I don't like spending hours in menus experimenting to see if something will work out.

Final Fantasy X decided to cut all of the bullshit out of previous Final Fantasy games (the overworld) and it works perfectly. I know that FFXIII is linear as well, but FFX actually has memorable stuff and it has classic FF gameplay, unlike FFXIII (which has the WOAT battle system and characters/plot that I don't even remember)

Don't really see the problem with the megathreads. The only thing that really changed is that we got two additional random talk topics? It's not like new topics are getting ignored.

Also I don't get the complaining about lack of new members/lack of traffic. Pretty sure there was a time 2 years ago with much less posts than currently. Forum is actually on an uptrend over the last couple of years, which is surprising considering a lot of the members that made this forum what it is left or post much less frequently.

Actually, the stats show that for January and February, they were the slowest months since 2006.

http://www.thebore.com/forum/index.php?action=stats

Posting seemed to have slowed to a crawl starting around November 2014. I think that was during the Gamergate thing, I'm not sure, mostly because I avoided that shit like the plague.

FFXII is fucking boring, an offline MMO with boring characters, a boring soundtrack, a boring story. The gambit system was a bitch to play around with and set up, I don't like spending hours in menus experimenting to see if something will work out.

FFXII at least lets me not push forward in a 50 hour "EPIC" story that is basically a wash. Granted, FFXII's story is shlock on the level of both, but I can ignore that and go my own way. I want to head out into the world and get curb stomped by level 50 enemies as a level 10? I can do that from the get-go of the story. Final Fantasy X/XIII don't even let you do that. I can't even recall any point to going backwards in the "tube" of FFX outside of maybe 1-2 sidequests and getting the ability to teleport at the end. Nearly every other Final Fantasy that isn't X/XIII will let you explore the overworld and get your ass kicked. Maybe not at FULL. BLOWN. OVERWORLD. levels but you can at least stop the story and examine things. FFX/XIII both are amusement rides that don't feel compelling.

The cast of characters in both is extremely forgettable and I couldn't care about Yuna's "quest" to save Spira even at the end of the game when the entire party was going to face "Sin." Even FFXIII's last moment/turn-into-a-crystal-to save the one world was pretty forgettable as a scene.

Combat in both is a wash. Why am I continuing to smash X to auto-battle/dive through menus when FFXII solved this with "gambits" and having the party manage itself against trash mobs? "Oh but that's 'gameplay!'" Maybe for some people, for others it's tedious busywork. And the combat system in FFXIII was "divebomb your HP to suicidal levels to gain 5 stars to get items." The only twist that gave was the "speed of battle" was sped up on crack but it was the same tedious menu-driven bullshit that has been the FF norm for generations now.

FFX was the start of the shit that FFXIII pulled and cranked to 11. Why one gets a free pass for being a near launch PS2 title while the other is a near dead-PS3 title that gets scorn is beyond me. They're both beyond bad and Square can't really do anything with that "press forward" adventure to actually make it gameplay-compelling.

mormapope · « **Reply #98 on:** March 14, 2015, 02:39:50 AM »

I agree with the Yuna's own quest being sorta lame, but FFX is mainly about Tidus and his journey. Hell, throughout the game you can say you're interested in Lulu or Rikku romantically but nothing really happens on those fronts.

As corny or fucked as it sounds, its easy for me to relate to Tidus. He's a young dude who likes to flirt with young chicks and he resents his father, as a white dude who played the game as a teen its pretty easy to put yourself in his shoes. Something that honestly can't be said for most Final Fantasy protagonists.

Wakka was the dumb religious bro who had your back. Auron is a father figure who knows his shit. Rikku is annoying as fuck. Kimahri is a simple minded bro. Lulu is queen bitch and then warms up. Yuna is a drab character that doesn't drag the game down at all.

Which Final Fantasy resonates with whom is dependent on characters and story. Tidus figuring out what he is and his own fate is and will always be interesting to me. Spira and the religious shit is still interesting to me.

Also, FFX to me is still the most natural when it comes to voice overs and dialog. FFXII does have great voice acting, but what comes out of their mouths bores me.

(Really, I genuinely appreciate that)

I've gotten a bit busier lately, and I've elected to not play newer games for now. Except Theatrhythm DQ. And maybe Ori and the Blind Forest.

Speaking of FF, I've wanted to do a mainline series playthrough again after I finish off a Chrono Trigger replay. Some of them I haven't played in years so it should be interesting to see how they work maybe 3-5 years after since I'd played them last. I play FF5 every year for that charity and the NES games + FF4 don't take long at all, so I might as well do most of the others.

I see myself burning out around FFX, though - sometimes it jives with me and other times I want that game to end so I could move on to something else. Last time I replayed it, I thought it was so slow. And this was too bullshit for me at the time:
