      @@spoooky_matt Yeah but that doesn't mean a ton. Many games have been initially received well (like Starfield) but in hindsight they're kind of garbage. To me FF8 fits this category as the story was total nonsense and the mechanics actively encouraged you to avoid combat as much as possible. Plus the Draw system was maddening with how you punished yourself by casting.

  • @The_Fanatical_Centrist

    I’m shocked at 8 over a bunch of the ones below it, but especially 6. 6 is arguably number 1 overall.
    For me personally I’ve always had a hard time separating 6, 7, 9 and Tactics. They are definitely my top 4 though.

      Agreed. I also feel like it being 2024 and a different generation plays a part. I was a kid when ff6 aka 3 launched in America. It was a spectacle. With no social media, or internet the game was absolutely everywhere. It was talked about on Every cable channel, every radio station, every school playground. It was everywhere you went. It was always sold out at blockbuster, always sold out at retail stores. It was crazy. I don't think too many peole understand how much of a impact that game actually had, and how amazing it is still today. My all-time favorite game.

      For me it's this
      Top 4

      2. FF5(cry about it I'm more of a gameplay person over story person anyways)
      3. FF6 (undeniably has the best overalls)
      4. FF10 (it'd be at 2 for me if let's say a majority of the side quests weren't saved till end game and a game that's 30+ hours turning into 300+ hours of constant rinsing and repeating honestly gets boring after a while and I'm including maxing out all stats limit breaks and Aeon stats as well)
      I agree with Tactics but I put that at 5 rather then top 4!!
      Also if you wanna know the "big fuss" about FF6 perhaps you should actually play the game for yourself!! I didn't understand the big fuss about it either till I finally played it for myself and understood why!!! If you're a younger fan of FF and spoiled with graphics and 3D environment as well as voice acting then you won't see how FF4-FF10 were the golden ages of FF with FF8 being the only questionable one!!!

      @UltimateGamerCC I don’t think that’s it, although the game’s twist is the kind of dumb thing you’d find in a lot of anime. I still like FFVIII but it was compromised. Most of the Laguna stuff was cut out and he’s by far the best thing about the game. More of his story would have substantially improved it. They didn’t have time to better flesh out the secondary characters so they’re all plain stock types who are suddenly given “meaning” by the plot twist (“Oh, kawai!” - it’s insta-character development, apparently - bad fanfic catnip.) It’s also a, “Woah…time travel, dude,” game (not the first time the series did this, nor the last, but, still…it’s silly.) Most FF games have balance issues but VIII is a step further. Just restricting the magic to a party wide pool of 100 might have evened it out somewhat.

    I was pumped to see IX make the top 5 and physically excited when I saw it on the top 3. But when I saw VII on #2 I got gasped so loud. FFIX is my favorite game OAT and my first FF. And it's nice to see get the respect it deserves.
    Also: On FFX, the laughing scene is proof that the voice acting is quite good. If you look at the full scene for context, Yuna and Tidus are fake laughing. They start laughing for real when they realize how silly they sound.

    When I hear about it being linear, I think back to an idea for a video I’d make where as a character doing a let’s play of FFVI I’d rant about linearity while actually showing just how linear FFVI is (until the second part, which funnily is kind of just like getting to Gran Pulse in XIII.) JRPGs are linear, that’s just the way it is!

    Ff2 has a horrible lv up system. I’ll give you that. However, I feel like no one talks about the fact that its story is really good and especially so for when it was released. Ff1: go get crystals. Ff3: More crystals. Ff2: after having lost your parents and your village you and your friends are saved by the Rebelion and you must go and try to save villages except you discover the enemy is building a massive airship and you need to to stop it. You manage but it’s too late and all those lovable NPCs are dead… You then discover a traitor in the ressistance and then you go help the Resistance Mage by going to a magical land where you must learn the local language then head to a tower where the mage kill’s himself to save you, and in turn the world. With the OP magic you got, you head to the enemy palace and blow it up… but as you do that the king is actually inside a magic tornado that destroyed the villages still standing (RIP more NPCs…) You end the tornado but the king shuts himself in a magic temple. You go in, kick his ass and Yippee. Boom. So stop insulting it.

I'm not saying it's the best one ever it's still pretty low on my own personal list but I do like it more then FF3 FF13 trilogy and FF15!! Well said about the story btw!! FF1 and FF3(OG not 3D Remake) are Heros Of Light!! FF2 aren't even heros they're just ordinary people who gets caught up on a twisted quest!!

    Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn - CALLEXIA CRESCENT!!! Maduin server, Dynamis Data Center! I had 8 lower and IV higher (and VI a little higher) but IX got it right. Elements of FF 1 and IV in it, it's a fantastic game. A call back to the game's roots. IV will always be my favourite offline console game, XIV has taken #1 for me with my time as Callexia (I have 12 90 jobs). The series has been a large part of me, and it literally got me through a bad time in my life last year. I was confined to my room with severe leg injuries and intense pain. I'd sit and play FFXIV to try and take my mind off the situation. I pleven had a character named Emetselch! Loved the Ascians as they were like my EQ wizard Sandcaster - destructive as hell. Sand would've fit right in as an Ascian! This game phenomenal. As for IX, it's legendary and gets it all right as are IV and VI. VII was a literal game changer. I put about as many hours into it as I did VI. My black cat used to watch me play 6, she was a curious, and sometimes vicious cat lol... she would bite. She wanted attention when I was playing, so she bit my ankle - it drew blood! Gotta love Boris. Played the series since the first game, and would play Mystic Quest, IV and VI with Nirvana and Pearl Jam playing and the occasional LIVE as well.

    29:05 ... here we go... granted, i'm biased in that i really enjoyed FF2 and feel the dogpiling is silly and very herd-like, but as a lover of both FF2 and FF7 i feel the whole criticism about hitting your party as some sort of dealbreaker is very funny since i feel the best way to upgrade limit break levels in FF7 is precisely to manipulate heavy-hitting enemies and.... hit your characters with them to fill the limit gauge. More notably, however, is that neither hitting your party in FF2 or manipulating enemies to hit your party to fill the limit gauge in FF7 are remotely necessary to finish and enjoy either game. You can just play normally and enemies will hit you enough, grinding is pretty optional (and can be fun for completionists regardless). I just think people started hating FF2 in the 2010s or so just because it was "the cool thing to do." I also loved FF6 but certainly spent much more time grinding Gau's rages alone than i ever did in the accumulation of any type of grinding i ever did in FF2 combined.. and don't get me started on how much time i've spent fighting statues in Galuf's basement for leveling up FF5's jobs, haha (FF5 being in my top 3 FF's ever).

      XVI is so mediocre imo. It may be better than XV but it ain't great. Awful exploration, excessively easy and simple combat, no rpg elements, no party mechanics, bad dungeon design, bad loot and itemization, and a completely wasted story that had so much promise of being different yet devolved into a typical jrpg story about killing a deity. It also wastes many characters. Jill is so woefully underdeveloped. I don't know. I just think XVI is so weak.

    You guys were feeling mighty generous toward the XIIIs.

    Random person: isn't it funny they call it final fantasy when there are 16 games?
    Me: 16 games? Oh if you only knew

    Your opinions are wrong but i respect them anyway because the presentation is nice and you give good justifiable reasons.
    that being said lol no 8 is not better than 6, 7 remake, 14 and IV nor is 12.
    The absolute best game is up for debate but most agree its 6, 7 or 9 so you're right there. But also 10 isn't as good as people remember. It's slow, its story is mediocre, tidus is a terrible protag and the only reason it's even remotely playable these days is the PC port has a speed up feature.
