>do I fit in yet, guys

Honestly best game, class system from 3 but polished and executed very well, although certain blue mage spells and the gil toss ability can be broken at times, can become necessairy in the later half of the game

Music is hit or miss, with many good although forgettable music with one obvious exception

The mc, bartz is totally not a pimp by end game

>>14614210

Probably not worded the best i admit

>>14614201

I'm pretty sure Tactics is the best game.

>actually good story

>challenging and thoughtful gameplay

>tons of replayability

Beats the hell out of the traditional JRPG style most of the series is made around.

>FFV

>MUH JERB CLASSES

FFV is overrated as fuck by hipsters who don't even realize how shitty an implementation of job classes it is. Even if you want to pretend that the job class system in V is great, everything else in it besides boss difficulty, is a mess. The story sucks, the characters suck, the villain sucks, the pace is like molasses, mediocre music, and the visual aesthetics are really mediocre.

FFVI is the only good FF and it's a shame not enough "fans" of the series talk about it. Probably because they have never played it. That's the only sane reason I can think of why such a masterpiece gets so little attention.

this thread is objectively shit

>>>/cuckchan/

the best part about 5 is the jobs system

>>14614254

This.

OP implying that FF5 is better than 4, 6, and 7 reeks of a lotta hipster bullshit.

>>14614273

Jokes on you, I supplanted one overrated hipster FF title for another.

>>14614327

Not really, a few never get the consideration they deserve, and a few get way too much dick sucking (like FFVI/VII.)

Everything I said about V was honest though. I like Job Class systems, but V's gets way too much praise.

Personally I like 9 the best.

>>14614406

>20 hours long final fantasy

>best

Best game in the series. It's probably too hard for them

>>14614567

Those counts are grossly exaggerated.

>>14614567

>FFXV = 92h for 100% Completion

Completing blue "bring me an item" quest more than 100 times does not count.

Completing yellow "kill a monster" quest more than 100 times does not count.

Story is actually 20 hours long, feels cut, some chapters are walk in the park long and only chapter 9 and 15 have some substantial cutscenes.

Also combat is fucking broken and you're immortal if you stock up on potions. No hard mode either.

>>14614236

Tactics is the best game by far. It has the most replayability and it has the best combat system. It's story is solid to the point that it gets used as the backbone for other stories. It still feels good to see that faggot Delita get what's coming to him in the end. Yeah he lost his sister, but so did a fuck load of other people. Ramza lost his entire family save for his sister, who went to hell to save.

I loved customizing my own characters as well. You could play with the story characters or stick with the ones you make yourself. It was awesome. Of course, some of the story characters you got were noticeable stronger than the others. However, that was explained in the game itself as to why they were so much stronger. It's not like in rpgs where you fight some guy as a boss and afterwards he joins your party at a fraction of the strength he fought you at. Orlando was known in-game to be strong as fuck and he was still strong as fuck when you got to use him.

If modern Square weren't so incompetent, I'd love to see another solid Tactics game and I don't mean another Tactics advanced game. Fuck that meta bs.

>>14614609

What? Delita was your friend and ally the whole time. He might have manipulated your actions, but caused you no direct or indirect harm and your ultimate goals were aligned

>>14614619

>Delita was your friend and ally the whole time

>He might have manipulated your actions

That isn't a friend in the slightest. Delita stopped being a friend of Ramza once his sister died. He stopped being anyone's friend at the point. Delita, as Ramza once knew him, died with his sister in that fire. In the end, Delita gets the crown, but kills his Queen to keep it. I also recall him being killed shortly afterwards, but that may have been from another entry in the Ivalice arc.

Ramza himself was the ideal knight and there was no way in hell he would have let Delita get his way considering he stopped his own brothers from their own powerplay. I don't even recall Ramza acknowledging Ramza by the game's end.

>>14614741

*acknowledging Delita

Havent played tactics, was referring to main series stuff

But tactical rpgs are probably my favorite style of rpgs, one of my favorites was stella glow for the 3ds, only real flaws to that game is it is a bit too easy, and a little slow and clunky at times

>>14614254

I will admit the job classes are flawed, and exdeth is a shitty villain

But saying ffvi is underrated is not true one bit

All i ever hear about is vi, vii, or iv

5 is nice, it was short though. I played it on emulator with super speed for when I was grinding though.

Job system is very cool.

>>14614777

The default job Freelancer gets a lower boost every time you master rank a job.

I wish certain jobs were gotten sooner or were relevant. Eg geomancer

>>14614791

Personally it was a little harder for me because i didnt realized that samurai could gil toss on my first playthrough

Exdeth was a pain for said reason as i did a blue mage and summoner

And have lenna as a blue white mage

And faris as a blue black mage

Yeah it was all about dual wield, I can't remember the other good skills.

FF5 had the best job system is what everyone says

whether its one of the best is up to debate. I wouldn't know though

Fuck off b8fag

>>14614572

*Romancing SaGa 2

>>14614533

You are a being of exquisite taste and your breath smells nice.

it's ok

Because 4, 6 and 7 are the best ones.

But 5 is good to.

Galuf's death is WAY more impactful and WAY better than Aerith's.

>>14614259

This.

Who cares, FFIX is obviously the best one, so you're all wrong anyways.

5 was definitely my favourite of the sprite based ones. The job system was the most memorable.

I always thought V had no "heart". With the whole job system, a completely forgettable villain and the constant crystal-chasing it felt most like gamey out of the older FF games by far. It was good, but i find it hard to remember anything about it except a few key parts, and usually I just mixed it up with events from IV or VI.

>>14617181

>v

>no heart

Did you play the PS1 translation? Everything about the game is heart.

>>14614791

Geomancer isn't too bad, just horribly gimmicky. It's one of the cheapest jobs to master.

7-8-9 are the only good FF games

>>14618431

>no 5

Degenerate

>>14614201

I like all final fantasy games except the online shit and find at least one redeeming thing in most of them. Its time I enjoy spent alone and I like the general universe of it.

>>14614214

>FFXV

>Prince with his 3 gay buddies

>FFV

>Some guy with his 23 princess buddies and best grandpa

Even his chocobo's a bro who started a happy family with his wife and several children.

Anyways I love the fuck outta V, the music, the story that's just about good vs evil is nice in its simplicity, not the best thing ever but a simple story is nice once in a while, it had some great small moments too. I loved the characters (although Lenna was boring, Galuf and Bartz were total bros), I also enjoyed the villains, Exdeath looks cool and his powers are pretty neat, it's not often that you see a wizard tree in heavy armor. The music is pretty good too, some extremely memorable tracks especially when it comes to combat music, Exdeath's themes (normal theme and battle themes) are all top tier. The job system was great too, letting you develop your characters however you wanted (even if it devolved into freelancer/mime if you maxed out everything, the odds of having that happen during a normal play through are pretty much nil).

>>14614201

>muh job system

You're easily pleased.

>>14614741

>Delita gets the crown, but kills his Queen to keep it. I also recall him being killed shortly afterwards, but that may have been from another entry in the Ivalice arc

You're thinking that because of the same cutscene where she gets the first stab in, on him; it doesn't say whether or not he died thereafter but after stabbing her in return he asks the sky, "Ramza… What did you get?"

>>14620351

>Exdeath

>wizard tree in heavy armor

Now in MMORPG boss flavor!

>>14614259

That's the definition of a Mary Sue, or Gary Stu in this case. He's a shit and you're a shit.

>the gameplay is the only good thing about the game

I mean I don't disagree. Story's dumb, music's mostly forgettable, but the job system just totally blows every other game outta the water in terms of gameplay.

X2 has the better job system. Sorry you had to find out this way OP.

I find it funny that a better game is dismissed because of the paint. Like I said, no point in arguing with golems that can't even have an orginal thought.

>>14621953

>I find it funny that a better game is dismissed because of the paint

>better game

First of all all the elements of a game determine its value. Secondly the dress system being a supposedly superior job class system is completely pointless when the game it is wrapped up in is piss easy and shit.

The job system in x2 was pretty fun, but the story was awful and it shit on X for no reason. Tidus was never a real person and he fulfilled his duty at the end of X. There was no reason to bring him back for a few decades at most and destroy the emotional ending that X had. That story was over with.

A better use of X2 if they had to make one would have been to cover the Summoner war in more detail. That is, move the setting back a thousand years or so to when Zanarkand was actually still a thriving city in the middle of a major war with Bevelle.

>>14614201

I like 9.

>>14622028

Why?

Dagger's ass isn't a good enough reason

Job system was dope

Hidden cutscenes were dope

Summon hunting was dope

Exdeath was dope

>>14620320

FFV and FFT/TA lovers should form an alliance against the 3dfags

>>14622018

but then Square-enix couldn't make an easy brainless cash-in on a popular game, reusing assets, marketing to dress up fetishists, and a return of Tidus. I can understand a money grubbing company's part in that, but its the sad faggots that defend the game that really upset me.

6,5,4,7,9 are all top notch

10 is decent.

3/2/1 is always up for debate where do they go (decent or lower)

8 is trash. lightning is trash. noctis is trash

12 is a single player mmo, and people either loved it or put it in the trash.

Shit game for freaks that want to be girls.

Stay mad, impotent soyboy.

>>14621953

This.

FF X-2 is idolized by freaks that believe in (((journos))).

>>14621965

It has one of the best stories ever created: good vs evil.

Great soundtrack. Great Gameplay. Great characters. The single most meaningful and important character death in all of the franchise.

You can spot the impotent soyboys that only read about the franchise in (((sites))) instead of playing it, or those freaks that only started playing from 7 and beyond and think that they know anything simply by the way that they talk about 5.

>>14622018

Don't forget the "shrine maiden turned into idol shit" that the brain damaged developers tried to push as a selling point.

>>14622075

Remember that those are freaks that want to dress up dolls. Then rejoice at your life being better than theirs.

>>14622242

The best resume so far.

I would only argue that 10 starts decent, and becomes shit by the end.

>>14622591

>Don't forget the "shrine maiden turned into idol shit" that the brain damaged developers tried to push as a selling point.

before checking the other post I thought this was a dig against Omega Quintet

>>14622242

>8 is trash

I dunno, man, mechanically sure, the whole needing a GF to do anything whatsoever and limits needing you to stay on the edge of death were all pretty poorly done, but the story was pretty good, characters plenty memorable and it's hard to complain about the music even if the choral overture is slightly over-recycled.

Rinoa a shit

First Final Fantasy is the best

>>14614406

VR mecanic and dating game when?

>>14622743

I really wish we saw more off FF1's start of throwing you straight into the world after character creation with no story, only telling you the story after you make progress. Can't think of any other games that did that and actually had a story to follow with.

>>14623698

The story and characters were THE worst aspects of the game.

Every single character is either a complete optimistic idiot or a literal cuck. The songs were the only good thing in that game.

>>14623729

And it was a good, simple one too. With a decent enough plot twist at the end. Also, great soundtrack as always.

>>14623729

To be fair, FF1 tells you the plot thus far when you boot the game up.

>>14623825

You just can't handle the ROMANTIC dream.

>>14614201

Bravely Default / Second are better games.

>>14614869

Back in the day the used to say Square wouldn't release the game because it was too hardcore for nubass Westerners. There were rumors in the magazines that Square was considering releasing it as "Final Fantasy Xtreme" but decided that Western players were a bunch of sorry pansies so they cancelled it.

>>14614201

5's story is lacking and kind of generic even as crystal-focused entries in the series go.

Main characters are archetypal except for Faris, I can't recall Cara doing anything at all after she inherited Galuf's powers, and the big bad is big and bad. I can't even remember how he ties into the corruption of the crystals themselves; at least in FF1 of all things they explain in some measure how the crystals are under attack.

Side characters like Lone Wolf were underutilized. It's difficult to remember too much about any of them

Gilgamesh was good, if a bit goofy, but was much more your antagonist than Exodus/ExDeath ever was, further dilluting the true villain's impact

The multiple worlds aspect was neat, as was how they slotted together in the end, but those are the results of good art design and an ambitious design idea.

Hell, if I compare it to FF Mystic Quest of all things, MQ has a much better storyline with the same themes. The villains aren't particularly well fleshed out but their attacks on the crystals make sense. The side characters are active participants in the story.

Character classes don't matter much but they still feel present in how party members fight. Characters with white magic will even use cure spells on undead if you leave the AI on.

Dungeon design in Mystic Quest is top-notch too, relying on the use of your weapons as field tools for some unique progression paths, and the Focus Tower is designed in such a way that you will visit it several times throughout the game by using various parts of it as new paths.

Of course, when it comes down to it, MQ is better than many recent WRPGs too, as despite being a babbies' first RPG it still managed to be an ambitious game intended to make people interested in the genre, not drive them away

>>14622028

you are a gentleman of good taste

>>14622571

get the fucking chicken knife dumbass

every time you run away from a battle its strength goes up by 1. Run away 255 times and it's the strongest weapon in the game

furthermore it stacks both strength and agility in determining its damage

>>14623729

IIRC Dragoneer's Aria (PSP) did that. Just threw you right in the world without context

Great

Fucking

Formatting

upboated

>>14624045

With no romance at all. Only fanfiction of what a numale thinks that romance is.

And don't forget "the power of your friendship will make you find each other when you get separated in the time travel".

This game is shit.

>>14624296

I still think that 5's villain is the best example of good and simple design: a fantasy monster that was corrupted and became the evil to be fought. Better than overconvulted plots from current Square.

As for Mystic Quest, it is a good and fun game to play. (((Journos))) were the ones spreading the lie about it being bad. and the soundtrack is one of the best in the whole franchise.

>>14624313

FF2 was really fucking fun to solo tbh

>>14626168

>(((Journos))) were the ones spreading the lie about it being bad.

Nigger, I played that shit before I ever heard anyone say a word about it. It was shit. Only two party members and with the second one always rotating out. The only good thing about it was the enemies showing damage in their sprites.

>>14626168

Seifer's ROMANTIC dream is more in line with the literary definition of romantic (going on adventure, becoming the sorceress' knight and becoming a hero) rather than romance as in love.

>>14626325

Nah, it is a good and fun game.

You are just brainwashed by (((journos))).

>>14626947

And still, it is only in his head, as even his "damsel" was not what he portrayed for himself to be.

Everything in that game's plot sounded like scraped writings from a failed fanfiction.

>>14627039

No, I just tried Mystic Quest as a rental after having already rented and beaten both FFVI and FFIV. I rode my bike 4 miles one way to the rental store to rent games back then, and I wasn't pleased for the bike ride to be wasted on such trash. I will always have a hateboner for that game. You can't convince me otherwise.

>>14626176

I actually like FF2 more than any other FF game. Though that system where you should level up your abilities and magic by actively using them is unpolished and doesn't work well, for me it's still so fun to play.

And in gba version they added an extra limbo scenario after the main campaign, where we could find some monsters we had killed in the main game. We could learn, for example, that some little goblin was a soldier who just executed his order and didn't want to fight, and many more such stories from other dead creatures. This scenario was kinda depressing and weird, but still unexpectedly interesting to play.

>>14626947

Seifer more or less wanted to be Don Quixote. The game actually delivered on a bit of subtlety here, especially where Seifer is even more angsty than Squall. Seifer's dream was pretty cheesy despite his character.

>>14626168

Exdeath has no motivation and just does evil for no reason.

>>14627122

PSP edition of FFI had that too in one of the optional dungeons. Astos and Vampire are the only ones who hold grudges against Warriors of Light and you have to refight them, all other monster souls talk a bit about their previous life.

I legit got feels when medusa asked if she was beautiful in life since she couldn't see her reflection as she would turn to stone if she does.

>>14627061

Not trying to convince you.

I'm saying that the game is good and fun, despite your taste.

>>14627122

2 was good in my opinion, even with it's messed up system. I like it's plot of a Star Wars-like story, that develops into an Emperor being so evil that he comes back from hell after you kill him. It had great moments, like the many characters' deaths, and as always, great soundtrack. That extra dungeon in the GBA version was the best added content from the classics that came to the system. The others were not as good.

>>14627318

Because he is evil. That is the whole point. "Muh motivation" can go fuck itself. Classical fantasy stories don't need it. FF 5's plot was akin of an old mythical tale, with some evil that must be fought because it is evil. That is a good enough plot.

>>14620398

No. He is not invincible of flawless.

He is a good guy doing good because that is the right thing to do, despite his flaws and despite how strong the evil is. And that is a good enough characteristic for a fantasy hero.

>>14628709

>Not trying to convince you.

>I'm saying that the game is good and fun, despite your taste.

What is good or fun about it? What exactly does it offer that other better games didn't offer while simultaneously not fucking up as much as it did? I mean there are things about MQ that I could enjoy, if they didn't come with the whole package that is MQ. What is so damn valuable about the game? Are you just being a contrarian?

>>14628717

Everything is good in that game. Games must not be only based only on the top notch.

Mystic Quest is a quick, fast paced and fun game with simple battle system and a good and simple fantasy story and great soundtrack. All of that make it a fun and good game.

>>14628779

make a thread about it when you have finished. Mystic Quest is worth playing from start to finish from time to time.

>>14632936

>The gameplay is fast-paced

You mean easy, and the contested benefit of removal of random battles.

>and fun enough

In the whole sea of similar games 'fun enough' just isn't fun enough.

>>14628709

>That is a good enough plot.

For a retard.

Having an aimless cipher for a villain doesn't make any game or story better. All the worthwhile Final Fantasies have villains with goals, all the way back to Garland.

>>14629648

After you get the dynamite, you still have to do the earth cave to progress any further. The game really opens up when you get the canoe and can start doing dungeons out of order.

>>14633713

Oh yeah, been playing a rom hack that gives you the canoe soon as you get to crescent lake , without any requirements, for too long that I'd forgotten.

>>14632577

Why the fuck did they give it a male protag?

>>14620320

Tactics is nice, but most of the jobs were ones you'd get a passive and the prerequisites. Every job in FFV had some way and point it was useful. Berserker is one of the least useful classes and if given two-hand or martial arts it will crush a large portion of the game.

>>14621832

FFV's bosses are pretty easy to one turn kill with most parties. The game favors high offense bosses with HP that's only high compared to random encounters. It makes the game a lot more fun instead of the tedious HP bags the 3D games use.

FFRK can scratch your itch for nostalgia and stock-based gameplay, also a fully "true" game FF Dimensions features two parties (light and dark) with job systems, if you can stand the atrocity of mobile port graphics.

I had a job interview a few days ago and as I was being walked to the exit afterward, me and the lead developer I was talking to said that FF5 was his favorite Final Fantasy game. Respectable choice.

You're the revisionist here underage.

FFV was my first game, and an all-time favorite of mine. It was the game that defined RPGs to me, and I didn't regret the time where it was the only game I could play.

I ran it with lots of class combinations years before Four Job Fiesta became a thing. I ran "perfect" saves and speedran it again and again. And the most important of it, I had fun with it. A fun I couldn't find in IV, VI or even VII (which, to this day, I still find bland and a mishmash of ideas and concepts used in the three previous ones).

Now, the only FFs I can truly enjoy outside of this one are II, VIII, IX and X-2.

>V, IX, II

>controversial

This is why the board has an age requirement of 18+.

>>14642086

II and VIII had interesting levelling systems, and it's a shame they haven't been improved on other FF titles, even spinoffs.

X-2 is a more active version of V's job system, allowing people to change it on the fly for fun results or just for abusing grid bonuses (hello, +80 to two defensive or offensive base stats when you usually are at 50-120 depending of your job at lv99).

And I'm curious at what you drank when you thought IX was controversial, since it's one of the most vanilla FF after I and IV.

>>14624313

Trash story, forgettable music, uninteresting characters, too short, and bland world.

The different leveling up system was great at first, but towards the end it gets frustrating and you're forced to grind a bit. Wasn't too bad though.

Easily the worst entry regardless.

>>14623729

>I really wish we saw more off FF1's start of throwing you straight into the world after character creation with no story

Skyrim kinda does that. You start off on some cart with some guys you don't know as you get sent to be executed for no reason. Most rpgs give you a massive cutscene to start the game with. Having said that, the only way to really start the game in the game world with nothing forced on you is the Alternate Start mod.

FF1 was interesting in that you could easily end up fighting giants that are way stronger than you if you wandered south of the starting location iirc.

>>14623825

FF8 did have a great soundtrack. I was ok with Squall and the game did end with Squall getting stuck in hell

>>14642144

I never said I specifically disliked any of those. I was making fun of how anon's list was pretty much "the popular ones are shit" and "these controversial ones are the best." It was almost a parody.

IX isn't controversial really, but a lot less fans actually like IX than gets meme'd here on /v/. Maybe I should have said not-popular?

>>14642132

Nigger, II is controversial in the extreme, and V has enough controversy in this very thread. What, did you filter all those anons and pretend they don't exist?

>>14641786

You won't change that.

It is a good game.

>>14642034

If you watched some of his anime, you would have know. Tezuka was a degenerate.

>>14642086

Redditor spotted.

Popular is never synonymous with good.

>>14642168

Good characters. classic good vs evil history. Started many tropes that became symbols of the franchise. Fun game. Not so good because of the leveling system.

>>14642209

Squall is the closest to a normal person living in a world of complete idiots and literal retards. I wonder if his dialogues were written by a disgruntled writer after he saw the dialogues written by Nomura for the other characters. In the beginning, Squall reacts exactly as the player would when faced with so many retards and their retarded decisions and motivations.

VII is the best though.

No love for ff8?

>>14635355

The whole game's very Saturday morning cartoon, I like it. It's more about the class mechanics and building your party anyhow.

>>14644880

Maybe FFVIII was an isekai all along?

>>14614259

The heroes from III remake, V, and IX, and some extent XII are all cool, in the sense that they aren't just all boring a gloomy. No one is as big a wet blanket in real life as Cloud or Cecil are.

>>14651512

Probably. At least for the writer of Squall's dialogue.

I would like to see some information on the situation behind the scenes of 8's development. The way that the plot was put together as "idiots being idiots" with a main character that hates half of them and does not care for the other half, truly must have some hilarious breakdowns and hate from the developers and writers under Nomura at the time that the game was made.

>>14635681

>"Galapagos RPG" sounds familiar. I think it was a brazillian team? If so, them it was leftist infested.

Pretty sure a branch of Compile Heart would still be a team located in Japan. And according to what I can tell, Omega Quintet has been the single game that branch has made thus far. That said, I could be wrong; I know Japan and Brazil have a relationship of sorts.

Actually, digging into the credits listing on mobygames, I am generally just seeing eastern names on the development end of things (noticeably western ones being relegated to English version staff and PC conversion teams). Unless Brazil has that many natives with Japanese names, to the point an entire development team could come off as being nip, I'm going to guess it's still a Japan-originating team that just liked the word/vibe of "Galapagos".

>>14654565

Thanks.

I have searched myself, and found out what i was confused with. There is a brazillian publisher of boardgames called "Galapagos".

Good list actually.

V is not my personal favorite. However for gameplay reasons I liked it. V has one of the more polished job systems and the ability to mix and match commands for jobs was something I haven't seen in a game at that time. I pick V over Toriyama's waifu any day.

It didn't age like shit, it was praised by goons since they they were written by a goon, V even has a shitty reference to it stuck somewhere inappropriately.

I wanted to replay FFI, but I held back with all of the new ports that were made overtime. This dungeon that you mentioned, is that part of the GBA version, or was it the PSP-exclusive dungeon 'Labyrinth of Time'?

>>14614201

Tried so many times to play the oldschools before, always unsuccessful to get them in the propper release order, now all of them give me petty much the same vibe

>>14684842

Just because X isnt as shit as modern FFs doesn't mean it's not linear fucking trash that barely qualifies as a role playing game.

>muh remaster

A polished turd if there ever was one.

I liked the story in X, and the soundtrack is amazing.

>I

<NES, WSC and PS1 are mechanically identical except for poison, which is flat damage in one and % damage in the other two, I forget which is which. Also the skymech thing has more health on PS1 to make it more like a later game superboss. The PS1(and I think WSC) also has an easy mode which you should obviously not use. Avoid any other versions as they all break the game by swapping the classic DnD spell usage system for MP.

>II

<NES and PS1 are mechanically identical. The GBA version makes the game easier (or more tolerable depending on your opinion) by making stats only go up, not down. I don't know about the other versions.

>III

<NES version is very different from DS/PSP etc. The remakes give the onion kids names and personalities that fit very well with the original plot. The remakes also make the Sage and Ninja classes less overpowered. There are other changes that I don't remember, the NES version holds up however so there's no need to play the remake unless you really want too.

>IV

<Hard type literally just adds grind, it's going to be a linear walk either way. YMMV with the PSP versions graphics. 3DS/PC version is very much it's own thing and worth playing separately from a more traditional version of IV.

>V

<Avoid the PS1 version like the plague, it has a horrendous translation, both SNES and GBA are fine, I would recommend GBA but I honestly can't remember the differences. Avoid PC as well as it looks like puke.

>VI

<SNES and PS1 version have a terrible translation (but muh Woo-Shut the fuck up nostalgiafags) that censors a suicide scene and turns it into something ridiculous, otherwise the PS1 version is the same as SNES but with a noticeable load on entering the menu. GBA version with the color restoration patch and music restoration patch applied is recommended.

>>14614201

It sucks 3 worlds and the longest game for no reason other than padding.

>>14724100

This post >>14724217 sums it up really well, but I'll shill add on a little more to FF6 as I was playing it earlier. There's a romhack for it called Brave New World and it's worth a try for emulation as it actually makes the game a challenge and reworks a lot of things like making your stats (outside of magic) actually matter at all. It's also translated properly as far as I can tell.

You can level normally without worrying about Esper's level bonus as you only spend Esper points on them to gain permanent bonuses. Don't like your choice? You can reset the points and dump them into another bonus, for a cost somewhere. Not to mention, all characters cannot equip all espers, only specific ones - some for magic, some for stats boost, some for equip bonus. Same can be said for relics and equipment. There is more to discover.

HIGHWIND DID NOTHING WRONG

>playing ports

Why would anyone do this? Always play the original. Probably the same fags that watch dubs and run pixel art shaders on emulators.

>>14724217

>>14733083

Out of curiousity, FFVI had several translations, the SNES woosley one, the SkyRender translation, the RPGOne translation, and the GBA port. I was going to try out the RPGOne translation, but I heard it was particularly infamous for being too literal, do you or anyone else have an opinion about that?

>>14733533

Had a goof, apparently the RPGOne and SkyRender are the same. Not going to bother with that other 'Ted woosley uncensored' patch one.

>>14634454

Wow an intelligent post on /v/.

>>14733533

According to the files included with Brave New World mod to Final Fantasy, it's Ted Woosley translation + changes to match the original Japanese.

>"…We aimed to preserve the areas of the original Ted Woolsey translation that actually worked while making what didn't more faithful to the original Japanese. In addition to this, we've further built upon existing characterization and storylines in a manner that will hopefully blend in seamlessly with the original and avoid an "obvious fan translation" feel (at least in the parts that were taken seriously)."

It's still worth a shot. I'll say that the dialogue and script is definitely different than what I could remember from playing the original version years ago. I'll confess to not playing enough in it yet - I've yet to arrive in World of Ruin and see the suicide scene myself.

>>14733818

Keep in mind they added a lot of "references" and silly shit in some places. They didn't touch anything related to the main story though, so there's that

Also one of the devs is a brony but thankfully he didn't put any of that shit in the game afaik

>>14724217

Is PSP version of FF1 remake easy entirely due to the changes they made to the PSP/GBA version? as far as I'm aware there was no difficulty selection

Even with the MP system I rarely have to do any healing because everything dies so quickly.

Just walking around the first area exploring to get chests before fighting Garland seems to have made the rest of the game so far ridiculously easy, though, to be fair, I'm only at the first crystal's dungeon.

It feels like I need a walkthrough so I can beeline to objectives rather than getting a bit lost and overleveling so much due to the random encounters.

>>14733146

Wrong.

>>14733711

I'm as shocked as you are.
