What are your top 3 Final Fantasy games?

[Khalil's_Black_Excellence]

6 - still has the best story, characters and villain IMO
7 - this was just epic and revolutionary when it dropped, iconic moments and art
12 - the combat system was a great mix of the old style and the action format, it's a bit easy but I love it

6 is dope, it might be tied with 9 for me, im not really sure how to choose between them

6 is arguably the only one that can be considered unequivocally better than 7 and only marred by its time of release/technology more than anything.

Except that it does both of those things resoundingly better than either of those games did.

For the Nth time, linearity does not equal bad. And 15's combat was actually pretty good, just that 7RE's was even better. Moderately influenced by it, but executed much cleaner and better.

Linearity doesn't make a game bad, but 7 remake and 13 weren't good examples of Linear games. Hallways leading to the next cut scene with garbage filler content to pad the game. The combat being better that 15 isn't saying much, the combat in 15 was basically holding a button and watching shyt happen on screen, 7RE makes you tap the button instead.

Take away the fact that FF7 was an iconic game, everything about the remake is mediocre.

Its a shame due to how large the scope of it is it will never get a proper high budget remake

I kind of agree

Also, pretty much everything “extra” they added or deviated away from only threw the tone or pacing off from the original. Really disappointed that it feels like we still didn’t get much better of an understanding of Midgar through the remake despite that section being 4x’s as long

They also ruined some key moments for me, like the iconic sephiroth jenova blood trail scene, one of the many example of the tone from the original being off.

I’m still excited for Rebirth just because i expect it to be more open, the combat to be more refined, and it encompassing a much larger part of the story, especially parts i like way more than midgar. I know everyone loves the dark-cyberpunk midgar section of ff7 but its honestly my least favorite part, and the remake did very little to give it new life. The actual cyberpunk-ness of it was actually very understated if non-existent

Just wanted to chime in and say 6. and then 9 still waiting for another to come close to either two.

Keep in mind that before release they were talking about how Midgard would be fully explorable, as long as a full blown FF game. What we got was like 3 relatively small hub areas connected by hallways in a game that would be like 10 hours long without the bullshyt extra content.

Yeah, we barely got to explore the upper plates at all, aside from that little mission of going to jessie’s house. I thought we would really have like an open hub type city area similar to when you first break out of mako reactor to explore.

I guess the silver lining is that we eventually go back later in the game, maybe they’ll do something with it more then.

All this plus other things about the game is why I say fukk FFX.

X is hella overrated.

 

[IIVI]

FFIV/II in NA and Secret of Mana are my favorite games of all-time.
FFVI
FFVII/Remake

In that order.
XI and XIV are up there as well, but I still think outside of the top 3.

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

FFIV (this and Secret of Mana are my favorite games of all-time)
FFVII
FFVI

In that order.

A 4 mention, my very first rpg and final fantasy game

I played that game before i even knew how to properly read lol

 

[bigrice25]

Damn I feel old.... I played FF1 a couple years after it released.

that being said... 6,7,10

honorable mentions for 9 and Tactics

 

[Styles]

Haven’t played the first 6, but from 7-now I’d rank them

1. FF9
2. FF7
3. FF10
4. FF8
5. FF7R
6. FF13
7. FF12
8. FF15

9, 10, and 6.

It had the most potential (of fukking course it didn't reach it), paid homage in a wealth of ways to many others in the series and had the strongest ending (of the ones I've beaten anyways).

If we're talking endings I'd go 9, 10, and 15. Also the camera footage ending to 8 belongs up there too. When I say 10 I'm ignoring 10-2's existence.

Lastly 13-2 has the best troll ending in gaming. The protagonists lost unilaterally on every point.

I didn't beat or play most of those games. X is an overrated piece of shyt tho, so fukk its ending.
