| Leynos said: IX is the best FF on PS1. 10 kinda sucks. 8 is fucking horrible. It's pointless to fight or level up. Story sucks. Characters suck. XII is ok but tbh not missing much if you play the Pixel Remasters then VII and IX and skip the rest. Oh except the Tactics games are great even tho the GBA one has questionable character design. |
Rather harsh.
In terms off FF games, all FF games are good, even great just some are more great than others. FF8's junction system was one of the easiest magic system to exploit if you actually spent time leveling Guardian Forces up correctly, this is why you needed to fight and level up. You need to level up GF to get item or card convert skills then fight to get items and cards to convert. Make high level magic, shove it on strength and suddenly you have a character doing like a few k damage per hit while you mage does 80 still. Is funny.
Story has time travel which can be confusing but isn't bad. At least things are explained and learnt well, Squall is dismissive but grows into his character as he needed to. What people much of the time don't like is the contrivances related to how characters know each other.
And FF12 is superb.
Honestly, play them all. Even 13, no matter how generic that is (looks nice).
FF games in general, from poorest to best are still some of the best games ever made.
Hmm, pie.
