RE: My Journey With The Main Final Fantasy Titles
FF X is so good, you have to play it. I reckon it's the most decent one since FF VII. I think they did a remake recently on PS3 so may be you can play it that way.
The only Final Fantasy that I started and did not finish is FF12. Can't remember why. But I remember reading about Square Soft rushing the game so the plot was pretty bad.
FF XIII was so so. Lightning was cool and reminds me of my older sister, but the story wasn't that great. Didn't really like the revamp of the summons either. FF XI was surprisingly good despite it being the first MMORPG in the series, but the downside is you can't enjoy it at your leisure as most missions can't be completed on your own.
FFIX was the first final fantasy game that I played. A pretty decent game, nice story, much more light hearted than 7, 8 or 10
Sorry about rambling but I just love Final Fantasy 😊
I don't know which one I'm going to try first IX or X, but I'm eyeing the PC versions of both (hopefully they don't come with the bugs as associated with many PC versions of Japanese games.)
For some reason, XIII is the one I want to try last... I want even want FFXV before it, haha... And I don't care about MMOs so even though I know FFXI & FFXIV are great multiplayer games I don't think I'll ever play them.
I loved your rambling!!
Well, the story is slow and not really interesting by itself, but the world of Ivalice is interesting enough to let me want to see more, and the battle system (even though it didn't feel FinalFantasy-like) is great, so I wish to play it again... It was re-released for PS4 right?
Yeah the battle system sprung from the success of FFXI so it has a MMO feel to it, and the square ability board was pretty cool as well. I did played till almost at the end, so it wasnt that I didnt enjoy it. I think it was a combination of it taking too long for me to finish the side quests (especially getting the summons), and back then I was still playing with a old and tiny CRT TV so it was really tough for my eyes.
