Games that killed their franchise

Games that killed their franchise.

But they still made a shit ton of final fantasies after it?

This game was great I dont care what Sup Forums says.

FFX was good, FFXII and onwards were shit. Not counting all the MMOs that are shit by default.

13 killed it

FFX is my favorite fucking one. please tell me what you don't like about it, I'm legitimately curious?

You're right, but not for the reason you think.

This game was the peak of JRPGs. There was no point in making any other Final Fantasies because there was no way in hell they could live up to it.

Normally, I don't care too much about bad voice acting, but FFX's was so fucking terrible that I could never get into it.

garbage characters
garbage story
garbage combat
hallway simulator 10
babys first jrpg v2

music was alright

Pic not related.

>garbage combat
The combat was anything but garbage. You on the other hand...

you first

quick hit x100
win

so exhilarating

quick hit was a late game strat for the optional monster garage. It was not a useful tactic for the story fights.

t.grindfag

Quick hit isn't worth a damn unless you've been pumping up that sphere grid

face it, x-2 had better combat

lol there is so much worse. It wasn´t that bad, not good, but let´s not exaggerate

X-2 combat was fun, but it was just an amateur version of grandia's. The job change was nice.

this. if he wants to see really bad voice acting, there's loads worse examples in the history of ps2. For example, star ocean till the end of time

Man coming off of PS1 games this shit was good

IX killed it and X revived it. In before hipsters bawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I'm probably the only one here that has FFX as their favorite FF

hell no

>spent months saving images from the net and looking at magazines with FF10 splattered upon them

It had such beautiful art.

Auron is GOAT, who in the series could possibly top him as a character?

Almost anyone. Auron is an edgy 12-y-o's idol.

He left a big impression on me, so not really anyone save for Sephiroth.

>auron is the idol of the age group that we were

fucking duh

accurate. was the point where the series became too Japanese. lot of the charm of it was Japanese reinterpretations of western settings, mostly fantasy. but from X onwards it was just Japanese jerking off over asian shit no one cares about.

this is also why Dragon Quest does so well, it didn't stray from what worked.

The inspiration for X was clearly Southeast Asia, did you even play the game?

blitzball was the best minigame 2nd only to triple triad

>I didnt actually play any games after FFX

Fuck you, user. You're shit and so are your tastes in games.

>triple triad being better than sphere break

Although sphere break was some rng bullshit

>ffx has bad voice acting
Literally the shittiest argument against the game. There's a reason this is considered one of the best character arcs in gaming history retard, great voice acting played a huge role.
>inb4 someone posts the laughing scene because their so autsitic they don't understand what context is

The inspiration for X was a bunch of stuff, from Oceania, to Polynesia, EAST Asia, and SEA.

it had the best music, and great if you're into playing the piano sheet music.

The opening
Ending Theme
That song that plays in the credits

GOAT

>best music
>no Uematsu

X Aesthetically was just Polynesia with Places like Besaid and Killika then Yuna looks like she got ripped out of some jap ceremony. That's about it.

...

FFX is the best.

FFX and XII are both great games though.

stop with this sjw bullshit strong nigger woman nonsense ruining video games! whats next? Transgenders and their mental illness polluting video games too?!

You just don't get it, you had to be there at the time. Coming straight outta ps1 final fantasy games into this was magical. No FF had voice acting before, hell most console games didn't have voice acting until around that time. Crazy good graphics for the time, the sphere grid was an awesome idea, at least at the time. It probably has the most expansive end game of any final fantlasy. It was good shit. Most of us could look past the lack of a real FF-like world map.

How good is this version of the game? I'm thinking of picking up a reproduction cart off ebay for cheap.

>there are 16 year olds that browse Sup Forums that weren't alive when FFX came out.

I wouldnt advise that since the sound and lighting in the game are off and are usually patched when emulated to not look and sound weird

There's almost no Japanese shit in Final Fantasy. The influence is mostly slim to naming of legendary Asian swords besides that every main char is pretty much been white.

> the last game killed the franchise
Nah son that’s not how it works
In this case, MGS4 did

Shit colors shit music but bonus content

>Repro

Just emulate and go buy yourself some fucking socks or something

What the FUCK

D^:

Breath of Fire V
Final Fantasy X
Need for Speed: ProStreet
Tony Hawk's Proving Ground
Silent Hill: Origins
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (World at War was good and it came out after Modern Warfare, but Modern Warfare killed COD)

Great game though.

FFX is the magnum opus of square enix.

>you'll never be as cool as Auron standing who knows how high up on a single ledge as he drinks sake while a huge tidal wave moves toward the city

I found a seller on ebay that's selling restored carts too. I like the idea of having a psychical copy I can play on my SP.

MW2 with a couple of jump scares.

The thing I like about Auron is that he's not edgy for the sake of being edgy. Most of it is actually explained. He's standing on the edge because he knows what that ball of water is and that he's going to be fine.

It had good voice actors, just fucking horrible direction. They really wanted to push the lip-flapping matching the voices, and had the English VA's try to match the Jap ones, which leads to all the awkward inflections throughout.

Even on my SP I always thought this game looked like shite.

That's not 13

FFX was great. The ones after that were shit.

I hate the hallway thing. I Heard of it before but didnt think it would be that annoying

you misspelled sephiroth lol

Why did they remaster this one of all things

I never did get the love for this game. I've always assumed it mostly came from first timers (yes, I know some of you have been playing Final Fantasy since the late 80s-early 90s and loved it. I said mostly).

user this isn't ff13

12 playing in the same world as FFTA is and was a huge letdown

Third post, most accurate post.

It's popular among PS2babbies.
