Just wanted to post this, while I am currently playing XIII. Final Fantasy VI is by far the greatest. Thank you.

No argument here, Vaan was easily the worst lead character imo. But I still liked the game anyway.

I really liked the battle system the game had. It's been a while since I found a game where I didn't mind grinding. And 12, had just enough new quirky things with it to make it fun.

A story was there but it wasn't anything too rememberable. But mainly, I can say a game is an enjoyable experience if it has characters that I love. I can't really get into a game if it has lackluster characters, because when they get into situations I feel removed from everythign and don't really care.

FF12, had some characters that I liked, a great battle system, so it was a fun experience for me.

Well, whatever the hell Vaan was, he still sucked.

I know what you mean, I spent a good amount of time grinding. I'll probably play XII again after I'm done with XIII.

Aw snap another VI fan? It's easily my favorite of the entirety series.

Final Fantasy rankings huh? I guess I'll join in the fun as well. My list from a few months back (haven't decided on FFXIII yet):

The True (no pun) Final Fantasy Tier List --Click here to view--

I've played F1 and 2 offhandedly but never finished them. They were released on the iphone a couple weeks ago, so I'll finally get a chance to beat em.

Best FF ever, end of argument, proceed to talk about FF13.

[Cloud]

My childhood favorites were undoubtedly VII and VIII. If Square Knix done a remake of them, I might actually be interested in FF again. Squall acted and stayed closed to himself because of his past as orphan. We seen Squall's heart slowly open up through Rinoa's always positive personality and qualities. VII has always been my favorite because of the awesome hero and villain. The Ultima Sword, Omnislash, Master Materia's, and let's not foget the coolest GF"s Knights of The Round and Bahumat Zero. The only was the random battle encounters.

Remake? Highly unlikely. I doubt SE wants to take that gamble with an unsteady economy bouncing around like a Moogle. FF XIII's director wants to remake VII, but he said if it was approved, it would likely take 3 times the manpower and budget of FF XIII.

Not to mention if one thing from the remake screwed up, tons of fanboys would be at SE's throat. It would sell well, but I'd rather have Square dedicate time to Versus XIII and XIV. (I expect more news at E3 this year)

Cloud ended up knowing everyone from the past, but his mind was manipulated by Sephiroth. Everything else fell into play.

Who? *scratches head*

True's tier list is pretty-much spot on for me. Raise X-2 and VIII to the next tier, because I don't even acknowledge that piece of junk that is FFTA. X-2 is straight up Fanservice, so as long as you keep that in mind it isn't horrible.

FF VI is by far my favorite as well, and CELES CHERE IS MAH WAIFU.

[dl316bh]

Best FF ever

II was better.

X-2 is straight up Fanservice, so as long as you keep that in mind it isn't horrible.

I always thought that, as a game itself, X-2 was pretty fun. The first chapter of the game was almost intolerable; like you said, it was fanservice in it's purest form. Cheesy dialogue, gag inducing pop undertones and ridiculous amounts of Charlies Angels references. It was difficult to get through, but I always felt that once the first chapter mercifully ended, the story picked up somewhat and it started feeling more like Final Fantasy and less like cheesecake in playable form.

On top of that, I'm a sucker for the job system and X-2's Dress sphere system was basically that with a twist. Certainly helped the enjoyment. I mean, hell, it wasn't any worse that suffering through the pure bland that was Final Fantasy V's story because the system was fun; the only truly interesting character beat in that game at all was when the old dude died trying to take down ExDeath.

Wow Ed, why am I *not* surprised you hate everything this game

Have you even played the game Shauna? Now I will admit since posting that message the other day my opinion has changed a little of this game but I still think it's one of the worst Final Fantasys by comparison to others, it's not the worst (that's still Final Fantasy 3 and X-2 still doesn't count) but there are previous entries in this series that are FAR superior.

Hmm... I think I might be a little too obsessed with this game, 50 hours in it, and I've only completed up to chapter 11, been having alot of fun doing missions and just grinding. Anyway, after 50 hours in, this game easily gets 10/10 from me. Great characters, great story, awesome combat and a superb leveling system make this alot of fun to play. I will make sure I crush those giant turtle bastards (adamantoise?) post game, I went to verse one for fun and it decides to do a 11k attack and kill me in one hit... oh well, I will have my satisfaction in the end turtle dudes!

[Yakatsu]

Finished the game.

Skipped all cutscenes.

7 hours and 30 minutes.

I failed. :c

Also.

Mihi nomen Orphanus.
Vigilans aeternum exitum cupio;
diem gemitus, laerimamque divae matris,
quae spes mihi sunt.
L'cie, pande foris promissi,
plena lucis perpetuae.

Also you guys need to leave FFTA alone. My 100+ hour save would kick your asses.

Took me an hour but I managed to kill 3 Adamantortoise things by spamming vanilles death ability

It is a legitimate tactic! (let's ignore the fact I had collectors catalog and the upgraded version equipped to try and get more plaitnum ingots and that trapasomething catalyst to upgrade weapons to tier 3 lol)

[Smiter]

I'm with you on this; I loved XII.

It's a miracle, I knew there had to be others who liked XII.

I liked FFXII, too! The story wasn't that great, but the exploration and combat were excellent. It felt like you were playing a MMORPG with the time-wasting bits taken out. I spent hundreds of hours maxing out the characters and trying to defeat as many optional bosses as I could.

Maybe if you combined FFXII's gameplay with FFXIII's story and characters, you'd create a game you would never get me away from. XD

I'm now at the open area on Gran Pulse. Haven't done any exploring/fighting there yet, I had no time. Perhaps today?
