:'(

are the DS versions good?

III is eh.  IV is fantastic, and very tough, too.  If you can get past the pixelshit 3D of them, IV is a great game.

[drew]

it should go without saying that the above post is wrong

he probably just likes it because he can see his own refection in between loading screens

[Phoenix Dark]

Hmm I have the GBA IV, so there's no point in getting the DS one? I was holding off on replaying it in anticipation of possibly getting the DS one

i still need to get the new fire emblem smhh

wtf does that even mean

and PD, if you have the GBA remake....eh, I remember reading that the audio and translation was all kerfucked with the GBA version.  The DS remake has new remixes and a revamped translation, for the better.  If that's a deal breaker for you, that is.  It's not as speedy as the GBA version, though.

FF6 goes to shit when you get to the World of Ruin. Non-Linearity? Ugh.

"I need games that hold my hand throughout the plot lest my ADD take effect" :'(

The only shitty thing about FF6 is that by the end most of your party is mad OP due to relics and whatnot. The final dungeon is only difficult is if you're inept at life

That depends on whether or not you can stomach the terribad polygonal eyerape. I remember GBA IV having some bad slowdowns, but I'll take that over the horrible DS rendering any day

1 hour of Joker Doom on triangle island against Intangir = maxed espers in WoB. And I'm too hardcore for Ultima spam

Also, I bet you consider Gau a weak character

I think I'm gonna go start an LLG, actually. Enjoy your current-gen subsistence of largely mediocre shovelware and frivolous "achievements"; I'll be having real fun playing real games in retro land

[demi]

Except I already played retro games when I was a kid. You sound like a nintard now. Gonna buy a Wii?

[OptimoPeach]

Fuck no, I'm not one of those people

My big complaint with modern games is more graphics-related than anything. Someone (I think jarosh?) made a great post a year or 2 ago about how excellent Bioshock was but that they didn't find it (among other current-gen games lauded as classics) as engaging because developers are trying so hard to crib reality (thus filling in the gaps that are better left to imagination), and it touched on and crystallized a bunch of thoughts that had been bouncing around in my head for a while. I'm impressed with the big stuff of today (Fallout 3, Gears, MW2, Super Mario Galaxy, Tales of Vesperia, etc), but it just doesn't connect with me and hold my attention like the 8/16bit stuff. And it's not nostalgia, because I think I'm younger than the majority of posters here.

ANYWAY, FF6 is, at the very least, among the top 3 of the series. Nonlinearity is nothing more than a personal gripe, and the game is wayyyy too easy and has wayyyy too many strong characters for a couple of split-party dungeons to be a valid disparagement

[Himu]

I agree espers are a flawed system. Which is why I only teach Terra and Celes magic these days.

FF6 final dungeon is the best dungeon in the series next to FF8's final dungeon, which also had the party split up into groups.

FF6 is easy.

V's story is too weak (even for JRPG standards) to be in the top 3

I think I'm like this:

VI
IV
IX

[demi]

Nobody actually remembers anything from 6 either aside from blowing up the world

[Himu]

who gives a fuck about story

GAMEPLAY

Also, what makes 9's story so much better? It is baysuckly FF's greatest hits, except not as good.

[BlueTsunami]

IX was alright, was sort of forgettable to me. But Chocobo Treasure Hunt (Hot&Cold) was the shit. Best Final Fantasy mini game ever.

[demi]

Should we archive this thread and make a new one?

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

At page 1000, yes.

[Himu]

[Don Flamenco]

and the cool part in the first half where you split up and go on different quests with each party.  and the amazing fucking sprite work on the last couple bosses. 

[BlueTsunami]

Supposedly FFXIII is doing Chocobo Treasure hunts but its unknown if its for important treasure or if they're implementing the Hot&Cold gameplay. If they do... I will nerdfreak for hard.

I dunno, V was like, NES-levels of bad in that department. I liked the job system, but it was still pretty bland. Yeah, IX's story is wholly unoriginal, but I appreciated the back-to-basics style in terms of character role and combat. I wasn't a big fan of the convoluted junction/GF system in VIII, and welcomed the respite from that shit.

Nigh-flawless plot execution in the WoB

Besides, the characters back then were more nuanced  than the vapid emo-cunt archetype that Square has been rehashing for nearly a decade now (except for IX ), and I thought they did a pretty great job of balancing their strengths and utility in combat -- except for Cyan, that guy sucks dick.

edit: Oh yeah, and the MUSIC. Holy shit. Only SNES games that trumps it is Evermore

Fa real

[etiolate]

Cyan was annoying because his special moves relied on sitting there and waiting for a bar to fill up. He was like proto-limitbreak BS. Still, an interesting character with what happened to him oh shit a redhead with boobies just walked by in front of me. But VI also had an actual villian worthy of 40 hours of saving the world.

Let's just get it out there in the open, all Final Fantasy games sucked, we just didn't know any better back then.

Yup, in fights Cyan was pretty much useless unless you abused glitches. But yes, despite the FF you're a whore for, there is no denying that no villain in the series eclipses fothermucking Kefka

[Don Flamenco]

I used cyan a lot.  the quad-slash did some good damage.  but he was replaced with the mimic, who mimiced sabin

[etiolate]

Yah I mimiced Bum Rush over and over.

Retort

Level 2 or 3 skill iirc, only takes a second

[etiolate]

I think I gave Cyan genji gloves and just had him auto attack.  I got the bug where you would end up with like x99 of various rare items. I had Atma Weapons and Economizer Eggs for every character.

This song is stuck in my head, really like it.

if you try to be an icon
then the icon becomes you
if you try to be a model
it'll catwalk over you
if you try to walk in straight shoes
then these shoes will bend you too
if you try to be a kid again
the kid will kidnap you

you know it's true
the guy you know well that's just you
and there is nothing you can do
just like a door you can't get through
when there is no-one left to fool
don't go and drown in that old pool
don't kid yourself

so don't try to be an icon
con the i inside of you
that picture you've been painting
doesn't look a thing like you
i'll agree that it's a nice try
but when your paint is dry
we are all just little icons
super you and super i
you know it's true...

i need someone to show me
just what i threw away
i need a pretty angel
to present it on a tray
you've never liked the icon
said that guy looked pretty strange
but you've never tried to change me
and that's how came to change
you know it's true.

look at all the shit on the screen in FFXIII.  Square is trying wayyy too hard to make this "teh #1 future experience-u buh-reak limit-u emotion game!"  It's still going to boil down to attack, defend, magic, summon, item, hit enemies with opposite elements/weapon types.

Girls have been dancing like this for about five years now.  Well, six years if my mind serves me correct.
