Around the Network

Crtics loved 12 so much, and I don't know why. Yeah it's got a gorgeous world and great dialogue, but it hands down has the worst combat in the series, which is important because you spend the vast majority of the game indulging in said combat.



Damn, glad to see XII so high but the list is random as fuck.
Now SQEX if you could give me FFXII HD IZJS for PC/PS4 that would be great.

My grain of salt :
12. II
Didn't play/10
11. VIII
MC made me hate this game.
10. XIII
Godlike OST, nice but arguable gameplay, rich story; undeserved hate IMO
9. X
Greatest romance.
8. III
I guess it was a good game, back then. VG sure came a long way.
7. I
Didnt play/10
6. VII
I like the extended universe but the game itself has major flaws, including outdated gameplay and easy to hate MC.
5. V
Didn't play/10
4. IV
Invented JRPG storywriting pretty much. Still very much outdated, but was a masterpiece back then.
3. IX
Has some of the greatest characters. The only FF of the PS1 era I plan on playing again.
2. XII
Best geopolitics, but held back by 3 characters (Vaan, Penelo and Fran; sorted from the most useless to the story the least)
1. VI
Best OST, best Villain, great characters, great story, outdated gameplay. Also most deserving of a remake.

can only agree, would be amazing, but never happen, too much work. But a remake on the level like "world of final fantasy" would be enough for me



Good to see XII so high. I remember trying so hard to hate on it when it was released because it looked so "different" and when I got to try it I was like "Boooh, this sucks...wait, it's midnight!? Crap, gotta stop playing this shitty game and go to bed. I'm just going to complete this part first. Then I'll quit. Because I totally hate it. For real.".

Can't wait for FFXII HD. Seriously Squeenix, give me FFXII HD or die.

 

I'm also glad to see FFXIII in the bottom of the pile where it belongs.

Insert Random Number Generator...

there's anyones list.



My top 5 would be
1. FF7
2. FF13-2
3. FF12
4. FF10
5. FF13

I was actally a big fan of the 13s and thought the story was a really interesting idea. 7 was my first FF I played back in 1997 and I still love it. I enjoyed 12s massive world and cities, I also liked the battle system.

Also, I have a sneaking suspicion that FF15 is going to shoot to the top 3 of a lot of people lists if people give it a chance and stoping hating on FF games past the ps2 era.

How could they rank them like this?



While I don't agree with the list, the fact that the didn't put FFVII near the top gets kudos for me. That's the most overrated game of all time.
