That is a great score but I am going to skip this and wait for the inevitable 3D FFVI remake since I heard great things about that one.

But this is the second best FF game, and VI most likely won't come to the U.S until 2 years from now(They have to do V first).

Did you ever played FFVII? I am pretty sure it is being debated whether FFVI or VII are the best FF and not FFIV and VI. I am willing to wait 2 years for it. We will probably wait even longer for a VII remake. I don't have the most money in the world and I am going to get CT and the SO1 and SO2 remakes.

 

Well most people who think VII is the best FF or even rpg I would say played it as their first rpg. FFIV imo is far superior to VII. Actually I think even IX and X are better than VII imo.

 

I never played FFVII but the only actual flaws with the game as far as I can tell is the subpar translation that made the story convoluted at times and the aging graphics which will both be fixed in the supposed remake. I played a little of FF4A but I didn't get that far. Of the FFs I did play, FFX is my favorite.

 

Don't forget the further step backwords in the battle system... and they actually don't even get to the convoluted plot till much till way towards the end of the game.

It's a game i've played through many times and can't reccomend.

Don't see why people consider it a good JRPG let alone a good FF. Outside of hype that is.

I remember a lot of people back then talking about how having a party member die was so revolutionary for an RPG.

Which... had happened in the prior 3 final fantasy games.  The fact that i felt more for General Leo dieing a bit player... then Aeris says a lot.
