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. |
No they really are not. After X and while I like 12 is falls apart in so many ways. Some of them are just bad games. 13 games are just terrible. XV is awful. Awful games with a AAA budget skin. 8 really is a pointless game and people pretend this series like Zelda doesn't just outright have terrible games. Unlike Zelda that series bounced back after years of mediocrity. It's ok to admit when a series well known or beloved can be outright shit and FF series fell hard. Better franchises have risen up. Persona. Xenoblade. Octopath. Trails. Ys are just much better series and more forward thinking than FF has been in 20-plus years.
Bite my shiny metal cockpit!
