I can't even remember the story until the end and the few touching moments. But I agree. The only few RPGs with, in my opinion great stories...well they're really rare.

+lord pegasus Lots of stories are love stories, I don't see how that justifies anything. And while FF9's love story may not be as colossally fucked up and sociopathic as FF8's, it's nothing special either, especially when both Zidane and Garnet go through the motions of the stereotypical JRPG male and female. I guarantee you the only reason people like Zidane is because his initial carefree nature was a breath of fresh air after Squall's incredibly obnoxious angst and self-pity. But he is a mediocre hero at best.

When you still remember the story line and the name of each character after 12 years. The story is done right ( or incredibly wrong lol ).

I think more than anything, it wasn't so much that the stories were well written, it was that the characters were developed well. Each character had a story that you would find yourself genuinely interested with. They were memorable and you grow to care for them, unlike the flat prototypical JRPG characters as of late.

+howdareyou66 What final fantasy story isn't a clusterfuck? They all become ridiculously complicated and confusing towards the middle of the game and by the end, you're not totally sure what happened except that you saved the world from some bad guy with a rag-tag group of misfit friends. I agree with +Tiger Bang that the reason FFs work is because (usually) the characters are so unique and have very engaging backstories that you really start to care for them. It doesn't matter if they are fighting some super complicated bad guy in some incomprehensible plot, as long as you get to keep moving forward in the story with your favorite people. Something that the more recent FFs seem to have lost.

+KTMICD2 Yeah, it rode the nostalgia train all the way to the bank. Say what you like about Tidus and Yuna. At least they were actual characters and not cardboard cutouts like Zidane, a generic charisma-free wannabe casanova and Garnet, a perpetually weak and timid, fainting middle-aged Japanese man's idea of a perfect submissive wife who'd take the crown for most continually infuriating damsel in distress in Final Fantasy if not for the fact that Rinoa exists. Nothing demonstrated to me more that the love of FFIX is based on false nostalgia more than people who have argued to me that it is a "true" FF because sci fi has no place in the series. Ignoring of course that sci fi elements have always been around, and that part of FFIX where you travel to another world, encounter an android, fight aliens and fly a spaceship. People do in fact praise FFXII. The problem is that while it had a pretty interesting plot, great characters and wonderful setting, it also inflicted Vaan upon us. A literal designed by committee, worthless character that occupies the slot of protagonist for no reason other than he's what middle-aged Japanese men think appeal to Japanese gamers. and who's presence continually irritates when the rest of the party consists of the man who was going to be the main character, the woman who effectively is the main character and the man who keeps saying he's the main character. I may hate Zidane, but I will at least say he was integral and relevant to FFIX's storyline,  such as it was.

FFIX and FFX were both good.  Can we stop hating on each other's opinions yet?  It's getting really old.  The internet is one platform where mankind can be almost completely free, and we use it to insult each other and show prejudice.  We're fucked.

Most of the stories are easy to follow, in general, but the villian's motives are always confusing (granted Ultimecia's was probably the most confusing in any FF game). And at some point, the different character's plots turns into a tangled mess. I feel like, by the end of every FF game, that the writers had run out of ideas of how to end everything and the stories just get wonky and other times border on the absurd. It doesn't make the games any less enjoyable for me though. I've come to expect it and look forward to it. FFIX is my favorite FF of all time and FFX is my second favorite. Each game has it's merits, characters I don't care for, and other issues. But I question anyone who's played ANY game (FF or other) that they loved, even if they didn't love every character, every battle, and every plot point. We enjoy FF for it's overall package, not just because it has pretty graphics or we fall in love with the main hero. This is why we continue to play each adaption. Every rpg in the world is the same; A group of outcasts somehow meet up and what starts as a mundane day ends up being a quest to save the world from some huge evil bad guy. But what brings us back is the combination of characters, story, quests, and sense of adventure that only Final Fantasy can give us. You can hate Tidus, Zidane, Cloud, Squall, etc but it didn't stop you for putting countless hours into the game (and probably replaying it 100 more times after you beat it the first time) to the point that coming to see this video filled you with nostalgic bliss, did it? /end rant

Reply• 1 2

+mimsydreams Actually I think FFX gets more concise and well written as it progresses. Perhaps because it dumps a lot of absurdity on you right at the start. Of course then they ruined that with FFX-2. Which is among my favourite FFs, but the plot is nonsense.

+mimsydreams I'm sorry you have a difficult time understanding a fairly straight forward plot.  The only Final Fantasy game that gets really strange is FFVIII.  The rest of them are pretty straight forward.  You just have to use an ounce of intelligence while playing the game. If you want to play a REALLY strange JRPG, try Xenosaga.  It's WAY more difficult to understand than Final Fantasy, and it's an amazing game to boot.  I don't mind having to think while I play a game if it turns out awesome in the end.

+Vylsith Oh please, not the Mass Effect 3 argument here. We're better than that. Don't even try to say Kuja's motivations made any sense other than incredible petulance (and I'd wager Square Enix agree since in Dissidia he acts nothing like the boorish man-child he is in FFIX) or that anything in the final segment of FFIX was well put together. FFVI's second half was horribly disjointed too but I feel that's forgivable due to the sort of sandbox experience they were experimenting with on that. Then we have FFXIII. I'm sorry, but any plot that requires a companion encyclopedia to even begin to grasp the basic setting elements is poorly written trash.

+howdareyou66 FFXIII really wasn't difficult to understand.  I've never understood that argument against it.  I think people are just used to being spoon fed these days. Mass Effect 3 was an entirely different situation.  While I agree they handled the ending poorly, I'm not sure why anybody expected anything amazing.  Mass Effect wasn't going to completely break the mold of video game history.  Sure, it was a bit underwhelming, but the entire series DID change depending on your actions.  People also over dramatized the ending by pretending that the only thing which changed was the colors of the beam.  That's definitely not true. I also find it strange that the main complaint about Mass Effect 3 was that the ending was too depressing.  I'm glad the ending wasn't happy go lucky.  It shouldn't have been.  I wasn't completely happy with it, but it got WAY more criticism than it deserved.  It wasn't horrible.  People just built up the hype for it, and felt let down by what the developer actually provided.  Nothing new.  They did the same thing with Destiny and many other games.  It gets annoying.  A game that's decent gets shit on because people want something that it was never meant to be.  Gamer self entitled nonsense attitude.  Stop pre-ordering games and then getting pissed off because they aren't everything you ever wanted them to be.  It gets really annoying.  That's not the developer's fault.  That's your fault. You can buy whatever you want to buy.  Just don't pretend that everyone else has to hate everything you hate.  Plenty of people liked Final Fantasy IX.  Plenty of people liked all of Final Fantasy VI and XIII.  The problem with XIII is that most of the US audience doesn't like JRPGs anymore, but they want to pretend that older Final Fantasies weren't anything like FFXIII.  Except they were.  The game was fine if you like JRPGs.  Most Americans love to hate them nowadays.  C'est la vie.  I liked it just fine.  Wasn't the best Final Fantasy I've ever played, but it was a pretty decent one by all accounts.

+mimsydreams I never called you unintelligent.  I simply said that it wasn't very hard to understand.  You were the one who apparently called yourself unintelligent.  I'm sorry you feel that way. I already stated that FFVIII's plot was fairly confusing in a previous point.  After the first section of the game it completely changed.  There's even theories out there (fairly well constructed ones in my opinion) that Squall died and the rest of the game happened in a coma before he goes to heaven.  That was really the only Final Fantasy that I thought was obscure though.  The others were pretty straight forward as far as I'm concerned. No more strawman fallacies please.  You have a great 2015 as well.

+Vylsith No, the reason people hate ME3's ending is because it's a badly written, intelligence insulting mess that violated all of the themes of the ME series as well as basic rules of storytelling. It is objectively the worst ending in storytelling for numerous reasons and I guarantee you that any argument you bring up will be for an ending you manufactured in your head and not the real one because that is what every single simpleton who said they liked this atrocity has done when speaking to me, bar none. You've basically already done this by making a wrong declaration on why people hate it then argued against that falsehood. Though this does explain your defence of FFXIII. You must be a fan of terrible writing. You're entitled to your poor taste, of course, but don't pretend the garbage you like is on the same level as properly written and thought out fiction. It insults me. FFXIII is not "hard to understand", it's narrative is just so lazy it doesn't bother to world build or establish anything, diving right into convoluted concepts and expecting you to read supplimentary material to catch up on what's going on. That is factually, objectively a failure in writing.

Oh as for FFVIII, stop pretending that it's the second half of the game that's nonsensical. All of it is. Even prior to Squall's injury we have Edea executing Galbadia's President in front of a crowd and then taking over with no objection and no explanation as to how (if it's mind control why doesn't she just do this to everyone?). We have Rinoa being the stupidest person in the goddamn world thinking she can just ask an evil sorceress to wear a mystery bangle and then we have Rinoa's father, showing that stupidity is genetic by screaming out his plans to assassinate someone close to the President right outside the Presidential palace then being surprised when the sorceress is prepared for it. Oh and apparently Irvine's a top notch sniper who can't shoot a target moving at the speed of parade float and needs her to stand perfectly still.

+howdareyou66 Your first paragraph is ridiculously biased.  It wasn't THAT bad.  It was a bit disappointing, but there are far worse games in existence and far worse game endings.  99% of Mass Effect 3 was well done.  The game's ending wasn't up to par.  Life goes on.  People were making the most ridiculous comments about the situation like "The ending ruined the entire series for me".  Seriously?  People over dramatized the fuck out of that situation.  The series was still fine overall.  I'm not even a huge fan of Bioware, but holy crap Mass Effect didn't suddenly suck because of the ending.  It was decent overall, if a bit overhyped imo.  Mob mentality nonsense.  The worst ending in storytelling?  LOL.  This is what I was talking about.  Overdramatic nonsense.  Xenogears is a great example of a horrible ending.  Mass Effect 3 was anti-climactic, but hardly terrible.  It ended about the way I expected it to end.  Given that none of the other games had amazing endings, I have no idea why people expected different from the third game.  Sometimes hype clouds your judgement.  I tend to be more realistic than most gamers. Are you really trying to logically explain why your preference is better than the preferences of others?  You're cute.  Unfortunately that's illogical nonsense.  Sorry buddy.  There is no universal truth when it comes to the liberal arts. I like JRPGs.  Final Fantasy XIII was a decent JRPG.  From what I've seen, people in the US seem to want Final Fantasy to stop being a JRPG.  The story was decent, the characters were decent (though the voice acting of Vanille got on my nerves), and the gameplay was pretty well done.  Every Final Fantasy except XII has been linear.  People bring up the overworld like it wasn't still directing you to the next location in past Final Fantasies.  Final Fantasy XIII was exactly what I was expecting.  Given past Final Fantasies, I have no idea what other people wanted.  Probably Final Fantasy XV, which while it looks awesome doesn't feel very Final Fantasy to me.  I'll still play it and love it I'm sure, but I like JRPGs.  I want more JRPGs.  My preferences aren't any better or worse than your own.  Stop being a douchebag.  Thanks.

+howdareyou66 I never said the first half of Final Fantasy VIII didn't have some ridiculous parts, but the second half really jumped off the deep end.  That being said, it was still a better game than most overall.  Do you even like JRPGs?  'Cause you seem to find a reason why they're all horrible.  Just don't play them?  I don't have to explain why I like the games I like.  Neither will your attempt to tell me why your preferences are somehow superior to my own make me change my mind.  You like different games.  That's fine.  Why do you care?  Pick your battles kid.

+Vylsith I think your misunderstanding and name calling comes from the fact that I said the stories were clusterfucked. I never stated that they were hard to follow for me, personally, nor that I disliked them. It doesn't mean they didn't get more complicated as the games went on. I also stated they are a staple of FF (and, yes JRPGS in general. Yes, I have played Xenosaga and others with much more complicated story lines) and that I have come to expect the stories to go from simple to complicated to even losing itself part way through and becoming disjointed. Just because I say this, it does NOT mean I don't enjoy the games. You don't have to ride up like a White Knight to defend Final Fantasy from people who have even a tiny modicum of criticism about the games or individual games and characters. As much as you have a right to your opinions, so does everyone else. Even if you don't agree with them. There are no fallacies to be had in a subject as subjective as personal entertainment. This is not a debate about science or political issues. This is people stating their opinions about entertainment. I know it bothers you that people don't share your feelings 100%. No need to cry about it. Shhhhh. It's ok, baby. We still like the games. We're here listening to this song for a reason. Shhh. It's ok. It's ooookayyyyy. No one's going to take FF away from you. Also, no fucks were given that day as these games are old as hell and the newer FF's are entirely different and breed an entirely different fan base. Like what you like, be happy. Live long. Peace.

+mimsydreams Didn't read most of your comment, but the fact that you think I'm white knighting because I like a game you don't is pretty hilarious.  The belief that you can never make a fallacious claim regarding a subjective topic is also hilarious.  You put words in my mouth that I never said.  Then you proceeded to tear down the argument that I never made.  That's a strawman fallacy.  Even in a subjective debate, it's STILL a strawman fallacy.  Welcome to logic. It's okay if you had issues with the Final Fantasy series that I didn't share.  That's not what I have a problem with.  I don't expect everyone to share the same likes and dislikes. What I do have a problem with is your attempt to pretend that your views are somehow universal, and because you felt that the story became too complex everyone must naturally share that viewpoint.  I didn't find most of the stories overly complex.  There are FAR more complex stories in video games.  Try playing Zero Escape at some point.  THAT'S a complex story.  Final Fantasy is fairly easy to follow as far as Japanese games are concerned.  Maybe you don't like JRPGs as much as I do?  I couldn't tell you.  In any case, I don't share your belief.  That doesn't make me wrong.  I'm over the conversation.  Have a great life buddy.

What you are is a typical scumbag who thinks they're being clever by being contrary and feigning deep understanding of something everybody else considers gibberish. Hence, the Mass Effect 3 argument. "Oh the plot's not bad, I understand it because I'm intelligent. You're just too stupid to appreciate it fnar fnar fnar." And now you strawman my position by claiming I hate JRPGs right after I complimented FFX. Listen, bozo, you want people to recognise you as intelligent?

+howdareyou66 FFIX's story was perfectly fine until the end boss. I still think it's one of the strongest FF's to date just for the world and sound track. The characters have solid back stories and although they may be tailored to fit certain character types, those character types fit the story, also when compared to other games at the time they had a lot more depth. The way you have broken the characters down in this conversation can be done to pretty much any character or story, simplifying them to the point of stupid isn't hard. The best bit was when you praised FFXII as being one of the better stories, but then I guess no one told you about those Star Wars movies, you should watch them, especially episode IV. Still... scrap all of that, someone said that FFXIII had one of the best story lines? I just hope that was a troll or that they were drunk, I liked the game but damn that trilogy got a bit lost in it's self.   At the end of the day though, if you want a really good FF story go and play Tactics.

+Misguided Miscreant The final boss gets more flak than it deserves... when you dig into the story deeply, you actually learn that its the second time you're encountering Necron, and that Necron is actually some kind of embodiment of the Iifa Tree, which is prominently featured throughout the entire game. I forget all the details since its been a while, but look up theories about Necron and his relationship to the Iifa Tree if you're interested. It makes me sad most people don't realize that he's actually built up throughout the game and isn't just thrown at you from out of nowhere, but then, the game didn't make the correlation all that clear, so I suppose it is partially its own fault.

People always hate on necron for being so last minute which i can see. But does anyone remember zeromus. They always make golbez seem like the villain of final fantasy 4 but it was Zeromus. So necron is just another zeromus. final fantasy 13 had a pretty great storyline until 13-2 came and made the story kinda confusing. final fantasy games seem to do that. The beggining seems so simple than it gets confusing. I mean the beggining of final fantasy 6 and 7 is theres a controlling force and we need to stop it from damaging the world or controlling and putting people into poverty. Final fantasy 9 even did this with queen brahne being the bad guy of disc 1 until kuja shows up at the end of disc 1 and pursues you in the beggining of disc 2. Than kuja reveals himself and strikes hard. Theres always some lesser known force that gets seen as the villain than the real force comes. Final fantasy 13 did that throughout most of the game where it was the sanctum and the fal'cie they were bad. Than 13-2 came and added all these other plot elements. Final fantasy 12 had a somewhat straightforward plot. Vaan was a weak hero. Balthier was better and more enjoyable. Vaan was bland but balthier was cool. Final fantasy seems to bulld up the feeling of an empire, controlling bussiness, or some force and than the main villain is revealed and its all down hill for the heroes till they have this moment of hope.

+Bruno Alves FF9's plot doesn't know what to do with itself, it keeps throwing new elements that don't gel with the last. Oh it's a light hearted adventure. No wait it's a dark story about repeated genocide. No wait it's about space aliens. No wait it's about SUPER space alien monkeys. And it rode the nostalgia train to ridiculous extents. I remember it even had a tagline of "The crystal is back!", even though the "crystals" never left, and were always macguffins and not central plot elements. Which is rather like making a Star Trek movie with the tagline "Space is back!" FF9 was designed specifically to appeal to hipster idiots who shat all over FF7 and FF8 for being "too modern", but it was such a cynical design that aside from a superficial resemblance it isn't really like early FFs at all. It has a decidedly larger amount of furries and weird creatures in the party, for instance. That's far more alien to FF than Squall driving a car. I also laugh at the hipsters who praise FF9 for being traditional and not engaging in "sci fi nonsense" while FLYING IN A SPACESHIP. FF13 failed because it was designed by idiots who thought things like towns were superfluous and exposition could be handled via in-game encyclopedia. It has nothing to do with it's setting.

As for XIII, it's extremely well written in comparison to X and, the datalog is there as a reference in case you haven't played in awhile or you need a supplement to understand a certain topic. All RPGs do it in some way and VIII did it constantly! Anyway, grow up and, if possible, acquire a brain. I admit IX is my favorite in the series and, no, it's not nostalgia. IX is a well written story with a VERY fleshed out world and it has all of its bases covered.

Or, let's start with a jock who doesn't even exist fighting his non existent dad who's now a flying whale with another momma's boy who has a whale fetish and is a necrophilic. Seriously, dude, grow up! IX doesn't deserve any hate and I don't know why it gets any! I'm sick of it! Honestly, I'm TIRED of reading about how much it sucks compared to overhyped Final Fantasies like VI, VII, VIII and X! As for XIII, it's extremely well written in comparison to X and, the datalog is there as a reference in case you haven't played in awhile or you need a supplement to understand a certain topic. All RPGs do it in some way and VIII did it constantly! Anyway, grow up and, if possible, acquire a brain. I admit IX is my favorite in the series and, no, it's not nostalgia. IX is a well written story with a VERY fleshed out world and it has all of its bases covered.

+howdareyou66 Um, are you the creator of the series? No? Ok, so, why do you think your childish, low IQ opinions matter. Are you mad because FFIX is too intelligent for you? Don't get the existentialist themes and motifs about existence? Jeez! I've never lost so many brain cells reading such stupidity. Nostalgia has almost nothing to do with it. And, speaking of which, that can be said about VII and VIII or any game in existence. IX succeeds in being an emotional roller coaster and being a very intellectual story. Every good story has light hearted moments to balance serious ones. Hell, that's life man and part of the human condition! And, IX has an identity crisis? How? It's a story book for christ's sakes!!

I dont understand this...your oppinion is yours alone and it can never be wrong but god damnit neither is anyone elses...but I cannot comprehend why a minute of forced awkward laughing...which was INTENTIONALLY awkward...ruins the story...is that enough to make you feel nothing when you see Yuna and know she intends to martyr herself to give people hope? When she cries that she has something she doesnt want to lose (Tidus) and when the person she loves wants nothing more than for her to live...how do these things equate to one another in ANY way?

Zidane is not a pervert, true he was a little skirt-chaser but it changed when he fell in love.He is very charismatic, funny and tricky, he showed like 20 times more emotions than the two previous protagonist just in the first disc. True he is a Thief and that is bad in the real world but leaving that along he and Tantalos showed to be great guys who help others if they can. They tried to kindape garnet just because Cid, who was very close to Garnet, wanted to protect her and discover what was brane planing, not because they wanted to hurt her. And i'm saying this even thought i still like Cloud and Squall just because is true, not because i think they are bad characters, they are great in their own way, but i still rather Zidane without a doubt.

Why DOES IX get so much hate? Anyone notice this?

Reply• 1

I heard some seems to dislike it. But it is probably something similar to me disliking final fantasy VIII. Some people just don't like the story like that or some of the the characters. Maybe since Zidane was more charismatic that the previous two protagonist some dislike him or because the last two games were more futuristic but this one was made the old style. I just know that this is my favorite FF ever for me to the degree that zidane became some of my models to be.

+Raptor Lewis People complain about the battle system being slow (I honestly don't think they went into the settings and turned up the battle speed lol) and that the characters and story were unbelievable. I personally liked the story and characters and hold IX very close to my heart (tied with X as my all time favorite Final Fantasy title). I would love an HD remastering of this beautiful story with improved battle mechanics, and it would be gold. :)

Still though, those duds are surrounded by two great games (12 and 14). I don't have very high hopes for 15 since it seems pretty similar to 13, but their Nintendo handheld output has been good. Bravely Default and 4 Heroes of Light before it were both really good.

I think the majority of people had a problem with Final Fantasy XIII because it had no overworld and they didn't look Hope or Vanille.  Truthfully, Final Fantasy XIII wasn't very different from the majority of Final Fantasy games.  It was certainly more Final Fantasy than XII.  I enjoyed it honestly.  I think the issue is that most people are expecting Bioware from role playing games nowadays.  I'm glad that Square Enix isn't giving us Bioware.  In any case, Final Fantasy is a Japanese product like all other JRPGs.  It's meant to cater to Japan first and then the rest of the world.  All of the whining about FFXIII will likely change that.  FFXV is looking great so far, but I can't help but feel we've lost something by demanding western values on the eastern market.

Reply• 1

+Vylsith You're really going to talk of western influences when FFIV, regarded as one of the best in the series by many, essentially ripped off the plot of Star Wars wholesale? Not that I'm saying this is as bad as it sounds, but western "values" have always been there. If the "values" you speak of include things like a coherent plot then that should be imposed on them, because FFXIII and it's sequels were the most incoherent messy stories imaginable.

Reply• 1 2

+howdareyou66 Other than the last boss having little to do with the rest of the story, I had absolutely no problems understanding anything in Final Fantasy XIII.  I also thought the story was decent.  Metal Gear has a confusing story.  Final Fantasy XIII really doesn't.  Lightning Returns I'll agree is all over the place, but the XIII and XIII-2 were fine. I'm not seeing the correlation between Star Wars and FFIV.  At all.  A princess was captured and they go to the enemies base to get her back.  That's about the extent of it.  There is no Cecil in Star Wars.  There are no crystals in Star Wars.  There's definitely not a Kain in Star Wars (unless you're pretending it's supposed to be Lando).  Two of the main characters definitely don't turn themselves to stone in Star Wars to let the heroes continue on.  Yeah, sorry.  Most of the major plot points aren't even remotely similar. By the way, I never said I have a problem with American culture in games.  I like both American and Japanese cultures.  I like variety.  I just hate that people are trying to get Japanese developers to create more "American games".  I don't want another Bioware.  I like my Final Fantasy.  Whatever...

Reply• 1

+Vylsith Oh, finally a same opinion. Yes, FF13 feels more like 'Final Fantasy' than FF12. In fact I can't even recall most of FF12's characters and all of the story, although I can remember some stories from the older Final Fantasy games that I've played because they are all so memorable.

Reply• 1

+Loser 2037 Yeah, FFXII was more about Balthier than Vaan.  I didn't hate FFXII, but it definitely wasn't my favorite Final Fantasy.  Decent game, but very different than the others.  FFXIII on the other hand had a decent story for the most part, good voice acting, and a decent combat system.  I don't understand the hate for it other than the normal "It's not a Bioware game!"  People who don't like JRPGs anymore telling us why a JRPG is a bad game.  It's pretty ridiculous honestly.  I still love JRPGs, and I thought FFXIII was pretty decent.  Persona 4 Golden and Ni No Kuni were both better imo, but it was still good.  I like western RPGs and JRPGs.  They both offer something I can't get elsewhere.  Other people don't these days.  C'est la vie.  I'll continue liking them.

+chewey There were plenty of people who used Bioware RPGs as an example of how Final Fantasy should change.  I liked FFXIII just fine.  Sorry you didn't.  Opinions are opinions.  I liked FFXII as well, but I won't lie...  I liked FFXIII more.  FFXII was really easy after you got decoy.  Really easy.  The lack of a challenge kind of decreased my enjoyment a bit.  It was a good game though.

Reply• 1

FF13 problem for me is that, it took quite some times to get the feels like the older FF games, because early chapters are all about dungeon crawler with alot of cutscenes here and there, and the gameplay is quite limited until I reached Gran Pulse at chapter 11. And yes, I liked FF13 more than FF12. FF12 is just too empty to me. None of the characters appealed to me, and I don't even know the main theme of the story (political struggle? with some 'not-really-related-into- main-story' fantasy here and there maybe?) While on the other hand, FF13 have a decent understandable fantasy story with a good character developments. Every main characters here have their own issues and they grew as their own individual character while the story is progressing, not just some tools used to grind endlessly to provide powers to finish the game. I have no rant about FF12's gameplay though. It was great and quite addicting to me.

Reply• 1

+Loser 2037 To each their own...I liked the story of FF13 but the gameplay...oh god...I had to level grind for a week straight to get past a part of the game...I feel like that shouldnt happen...and the gameplay aspect of 13 was just...too simple...there wasnt any strategy to it for a vast majority of the game it was just...beat on them till they lose...and while you could argue most FF games have that...theres always the option...like reflect...summon spam...elemental magic advantages...but with only controling 1 character and such limited time to make actions...even if you could do those things it would never be worth it...so it becomes sorta...win or level till you win...theres no middle ground

Reply• 1

lol the battle system is actually quite appealing to me, but the game locked most of it until chapt 11. and yes, there's not really a customization of characters so the only way to overcome bosses are by grinding levels. though it's arguable because synergist and saboteur are very good in this game Overall i think i had most deaths here in ff13 out of all final fantasy games, i even die to mobs quite alot >.>

None of them are flawless but every now and then, you'll get gems like 9, , 2, 1, 5, 8 and Tactics: War of Black Lions.

Reply• 1 2

+Raptor Lewis Was talking about rushed made story, not gameplay. Unrealistic damage is gameplay aspect, nothing to do with story. Also, wether seymour a momma boy or not doesn't have anything to do with wether it's a rushed made story or not. Rushed made story are story that we can't help having the feeling that it's cut too short and too many holes in the plots. Secondly, i don't play XIII, i don't bad mouth anything i never play myself, and XII is the worst FF series I'VE EVER PLAYED. All fantasy games are unrealistic.

Reply• 1

+AtriasNaradan I know but, my point is nearly all of them are like that and, yes, Seymour being a momma's boy IS relevant because he is a Main Character and great character writing is fundamental to story telling. If you paid attention in school, you would know that. X and VII are PRIME examples of rushed and inconsistent stories. 

Reply• 1

+AtriasNaradan As for fantasy games being unrealistic, that isn't entirely true as ALL fantasy has a base in reality be it movement, character dimensionality, physics ( how else is it considered "magical" or fantasy if it didn't have that to break away from). Plus, realism adds to authenticity in a fantasy story. A fantastic example is the Lord of the Rings. Another can include Harry Potter and A Game of Thrones. All of these have elements of realism to connect us to the story.

X had things that were pretty random and pointless lacking any contribution to the world's development or story progression. Stats, damage, and abilities were inconsistent as hell and was all over the place. X is where idiots took over and the rest of the team was either too busy with other projects or they just quit giving a shit. It's sad because X had potential to deserve the praise it gets. But, X feels like it was there too look good, sound good and just overall flashy. They took ideas from some of the past games and just threw it in there to look cool or sound deep and intellectually stimulating. Overall, X was an insult for me. A lot of them have problems but, X, just, why, Square? Why did you do this to yourself and us, Square?

It is no bad the battle system thought VII may be more atractive but it is hard to beat VII in that sense. The one in IX it is as you make it to be. You can have super fast speed in configuration and id you active Auto-fast it would be twice as good, Trance is the same as it can improve and there are others auto skill and unique skill to give it good diversity.

The dialogue (for the most part) sucked you into the setting and world while still being relatable, timeless, and organic, the thematics are some of the greatest I've seen in a Final Fantasy game since 6 (now that I think about it, they're sort of similar), and the characters are (for the most part) loveable, relatable, and also very organic, being perfect reflections of the previously stated thematics.
