Forums - Gaming - will FF13 be your FIRST final fantasy game?

lestatdark on 07 December 2009

Oh no, not by a long shot xD I started playing Final Fantasy with FF III on the Snes (FF VI) and since them I've been hooked.

I've probably played almost spin-off and strange release there is of FF games, and while I love the series, as many users have pointed as well, it's not my favourite RPG series.

That privilegue goes to Lufia and Parasite Eve :)

No. I've played Final Fantasy 4, 6 (never finished though), 7, 8, 9, 10, 10-2 (never finished either) and 12.

@ Acevil and Son1x

I loved Grandia 2 (One of my favorite jrpgs) but Grandia 3 was lackluster. The Lunar series is FANTASTIC though (except for the spin-offs since I've heard they suck). I want Lunar 3 already. For the Tales series, Tales of the Abyss and Vesperia were awesome, Tales of Legendia was good but Tales of Symphonia sucked IMO. All in all, every series has its downsides.


Why did you stop playing it? and where did you stop?

I forgot were I stopped. I got about 15 hours in. It was the PS1 version I played.


That seems long enough. Why did you stop, though?

Xenogears and Lunar 2.


Oh.
OK, while waiting for FFXIII. Go play the SNES on an emulator. You won't regret it.
Is Lunar 2 any good? I never played any of them, BTW.

Lunar 2 is absolutely AMAZING. Its a masterpiece. Easily one of my favorite jrpgs. You should play it. You should also play Xenogears if you haven't already. Its is BY FAR my favorite jrpg of all time. The best storyline, the deepest characters, one of the best battle systems in a jrpg and the absolute best music I've ever heard in a video game. It was perfection.


I'm actually planning on playing Xenogears this summer (After I finish Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy XIII). I've always wanted to play Xenogears, especially after I heard the soundtrack. It's was absoloutly amazing. I still think Chrono Trigger/Cross music is better, though.

Funny thing is, the person who composed the music from Xenogears is the same person who composed the music for Chrono Trigger. Yasunori Mitsuda >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Nobuo Uemats


I know. That's why I compared it to them.
Yasunori Mitsuda is a genius. One of the greatest video composers of all-time. But to me it's still Nobuo Uematsu > Yasunori Mitsuda

Are you going to play Final Fantasy VI (III SNES) or should I spam your wall everyday so you would play it?

Only FF12 sucked. I don't see how one bad game can make the series "Diluted". FFX-2 and FF7: DoC are spin-offs so I wouldn't count those.

I couldn't disagree with you more. Yasunori Mitsuda is FAR better then Nobuo Uematsu IMO. Also, I'll play FFVI when I get the chance (though it will most likely be after I play Grandia 1).

Kingdom Hearts isn't even her best work :)

If he didn't compose Xenogears music you wouldn't have said that, no?
Will that be your first time playing Grandia 1? Grandia 2 was great. I played it twice on my PC.

IMO VIII sucked too, and IX was so-so. And yes, X-2 and DoC were spin-off. I just don´t like, when name is used for better sales.

 

Oh, btw: Shoji Meguro >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> All peons like Uematsu and Mitsuda

 

Opa-Opa: I will give XIII a shot, that´s for sure.
