I'll never accept how fucking overrated IX is on these parts.
It is easily one of the more forgettable entries, it brings NOTHING new to the table, has boring, slow gameplay, only one interesting characters, Vivi, bland storyline which I struggle to even remember followed by a TWEEST that comes out of fucking nowhere with little to no foreshadowing.
And then finally ends with a final boss out of nowhere, that gets beaten and everyone lives happily thereafter :)
Horrible, if it didn't have Final Fantasy on its name, it could be easily mistaken with any random throwaway JRPGs out there.

David Anderson
if your favorite Final Fantasy is
>IV You are a bigger nostalgia faggots than VIfags and unlike VI, your game is genuinely shit with no notable good characters except Rydia
>V You only play game for gameplay. No stories final destination. Would rather farm that extra stats instead of ending Exdeath
>VI You have a heavy nostalgia goggles and great sense of jealousy that VII is overall the better and more popular one
>Tactics You are an oldfag who thinks politics and religious plots are deep but in reality it's just a shitty cover up for the pathetic clusterfuck of a story that not even can be consider average if it's a fictional book. Also the gameplay is quite bad and uneven because you either suck or overly OP when you get Thundergod CID
>VII You are casualfags who probably never played anything else besides VII or VIII or X and try to judge them
>VIII You are huge emo faggot who thinks Squall is anything like you. You project yourself as Squall and Rinoa as your love interest throughout the game but then you realize you will never live in Balamb Garden so you end up hating yourself and the game
>IX You have shit taste that prefer a fun and adventourous story but lack the ability to see how bad the other aspect of the game is especially the stupidly designed battle system, the horrible secondary playable characters and the inconsistent plot
>X You are a weeaboo that share the same taste as japanese who likes drama over other things. Too stupid to realize the game is as linear as FFXIII and it's horrible implementation of the sphere grid
>XII You thinks you are a fine gentleman and a scholar that like a great game. Too bad 20 hours later you realize there's nothing interesting ever happening and end up dropping the game
>XIII You should just kill yourself
Noah Mitchell
What if I said that WOFF is my favorite Final Fantasy?
Angel Bell
but XIII-2 is good
Eli Howard
>VI >You have a heavy nostalgia goggles and great sense of jealousy that VII is overall the better and more popular one But what if I played VI years after I played VII? Do I still have nostalgia goggles?
Josiah Turner
Then I would say. Why aren't you just playing pokemon instead?
Gabriel Stewart
I always found FF V boring. Even FF IV was more interesting. FF VII is awesome. FF VIII is awful.
Ethan Butler
I don't own nintendo products and I like the chance to collect Final Fantasy monsters than Pokemon.
Much more variation and the setting is changed as well.
WOFF is the refresher that pokemon needed (And I stopped playing after ruby and sapphire.)
Jordan Stewart
V is way better than IV or VI, only nostalgia fags that played those first say otherwise.
Kayden Torres
FF6>FF9>FF4>FFXV>FF10>FF7>FF12 this is fact FACT if you like FF7 then is your first ff and you are blinded by nostalgia
Noah Edwards
IV and VI are way better than V, only nostalgia fags that played it first say otherwise.
Jonathan Davis
V came out much later in the US than IV or VI, try harder.
John Davis
Who gives a shit about US dummy. Don't tell me you can't Japanse and you pretend you know shit about FF? Kek
Lucas Moore
People usually say only babbys liked IX but I disagree. 31yo here. Never played I-V or DoC or the MMOs.
Best: >VII One of the best games ever, perfect setting, characters, story, OST, gameplay, mood everything just fits like a glove.
Great: >VI My first FF, it really made an impact. One of the best villains ever and the first game to make me feel bad (damn you Leo)
>VIII The "dark" FF, probably the most underrated one too. Reminds me a bit of Majora's Mask, it has more layers than what you get at face value.
>IX The last "good" FF and supposedly the one that resembles most the old FFs that I never got to play. A classic. It gave a very enjoyable trip.
>X The first of the "corridor" FFs but it still had the turn battle system, it was a nice hybrid and the sphere system was great too even if linear. The story and OST were top notch too imo.
>CC Made justice to VII, absolutely loved the story, the ending was sublime and Price of Freedom has to be the pinaccle of the FF OSTs.
OK: >XII By far the most forgettable one, still make it through so there's that. At points it was incredibly boring.
>XIII They took the corridors to the extreme. Way too linear for a FF and the story was a complete mess. The game was completely carried by Lightning. Still made it through.
Luis Young
>MEDIOCRE >Final Fantasy XI Opinion discarded until the end of time.
Jacob King
You're doing this on purpose to trigger me aren't you?
This shitty list?
Ethan Morales
I don't like IX but story was what kept me playing the game, I wanted to find out who or what Vivi was and card game was fun. Most characters suck and game forces you to use all of them but it had nice visuals and mini-games. And Zidane was one of the last heterosexual MCs in FF.
Lincoln Ross
FFVI doesn't belong anywhere near the top, it's such a massive chore to play because of its fuckawful combat and mechanics. At least VII had a ton of actually fun minigames to break up the problem.
Alexander Richardson
I had to play IX with a no encounter cheat to be able to finish it.
Josiah Walker
That's the beauty of personal opinions, that they are, well, personal.
Jordan Lee
It's the least chore FF game to play ever made and it will be forever remembered as one of the GOATs. If you don't like that's too bad, but FF VI and VII will always be considered awesome.
Ayden Collins
Fuck no. Nothing can make up for the fact that I can run around obliterating every random encounter in a single move without even bothering to think about resource management.
Luis Gomez
Sucks for you I guess.
Daniel Scott
THE BEST >VII >VI >V GOOD >IX >VIII >IV OK >X >XII >XIII I DIDN'T LIKE IT >III >I >II DIDN'T PLAY, BOUGHT IT TODAY >XV
Started the series last year.
Nicholas Watson
Considering that the entire series took after it and it completely destroyed it? Yes, yes it does. Fuck that game and fuck what it made standard for FF.

Lincoln Rodriguez
Yeah sucks for you. Meanwhile I'll enjoy replaying it and FF VII lmao and whole history will give them more recognition that to your favorite games. Unfortunate.
Tyler Lopez
Enjoy never understanding what makes for a good JRPG, I guess.
Luke Green
FFIV is what made the standard FF. It's why it gets remade the most.
Colton Perez
FFIV is much closer to the older games in gameplay than it is to games like FFVI or VII. VII was very obviously VI 2.0.

Dylan Ramirez
This are my subjective opinions on the games I've played.
>Favorite VIII >Great VII, VI, X, LR >Good I, III, IV, XIII, XIII-2 >Didn't like it IX, XIV
Mason Foster
I don't think so. Every FF up to IX all feel like improved IVs. Can't really stray off the main path, story heavy, have a little bit of sidequests, cast is colorful, always get an airship to visit every area towards the end, optional summons to find, optional weapons, etc. There are some moments in FFI-III where you can choose what to do first instead of only doing things one way only and they definitely feel more like traditional rpgs unlike IV and up.
Mason Smith
I liked Tetra Master more than Triple Triad.
Asher Sanchez
What if 1, 2, or 3 are my favorite?
Kevin Foster
You monster
Parker Adams
If XV is good tier I'm happy. I already like it but I'm pretty biased and only a few cutscenes in. I like the combat in the tutorial I can see where this is going
Nolan Hernandez
i played the FFXV demo and it was bad and made me cancel my preorder but does the final game at least surpass the godlike CG cutscenes from FFX?
Chase Robinson
So should I play Lost Odyssey instead of FFXV?
Grayson Torres
II and IX here.
Jacob Fisher
>but does the final game at least surpass the godlike CG cutscenes from FFX? No. Yes.
Camden Gomez
>If you like any Final Fantasy you're a faggot in some way
Typical Sup Forums
Ayden Anderson
I pretty much agree with this.
Brandon Sanders
AWESOME >IX >VI >VII >XII Great >X >XV >V >IV >VII barely The rest in meh tier
Luke Sullivan
Bring XII down to Disgusting and it's perfect.
Alexander Butler
I mean >VIII barely
Connor Morales
FFXIV >> FFXI
Tyler Thompson
VII is my favorite and I've played and beaten I, X, XIII and played II, III, IV, V, VI, VIII, XII, and XIV
Anthony Morris
Are her tits getting bigger?
Jackson James
>XIII and XIII-2 are just mediocre >Lightning Returns is bad
I think you switched those.
Colton Collins
AWESOME >Final Fantasy Tactics >Final Fantasy XII >Final Fantasy VI
GOOD >Final Fantasy VII
MEDIOCRE >most of the others
BAD >Lightning Trilogy
Logan Reyes
V is amazing, but you really should play Lightning Returns before you judge it. It's the only other FF (besides FFV) that actually has good gameplay.
i put your opinion in the "ff8 level of failure" tier
Luke Wilson
But that would make YOU the true ultimate failure here. Are you sure?
David Scott
>4 not in awesome or great You drunk OP?
Chase Richardson
FF4 is inslutingly stupid in terms of story AND railroady as fuck even by FF standards. There's nothing to like about it besides nostalgia
Christian Brown
And being balanced and encouraging resource management.
And having boss fights that set the standard that only a couple of following FF games lived up to.
And having random encounters that will fuck you over and waste a ton of your MP if you're playing it like a total retard.
Asher Brown
It blows my mind that there are people out there who think FFV was good or even great.
The job system alone can't save this train wreck.
Liam Evans
Shitter detected.
Hunter Russell
>The job system alone can't save this train wreck. Yes it did.
>B-But Story! It's simple and nice. That's all I wanted.
Benjamin Foster
Friendly reminder that FFVIII is hands down the best FF ever.
Nicholas Flores
>best equipment system outside of the MMOs and spinoffs >job system is the best in the series, even the jobs that look shitty at first glance are usable and the broken as shit classes take effort and knowledge to use >decent dungeons, not a single one of them is garbage that you never want to go through again >several of the best boss fights in the series >best final boss >random encounters can get really brutal at several points in the game so they're not boring slogs >magic and physical are both extremely useful and different for the entire game >3 different worlds to explore >one of the best soundtracks
