Quick question: What's the worst FF game that isn't XIII or II?

If you want to talk FF?

FFXIII would have been better if it did the way FFXV went with it's open world. Like that art direction was amazing. Proof the game was made about two generations too early.

Open world eco-futuristic FF with segments in a ruined world below. Also shout-out to Oerba, one of my favourite locales in video games:

A beautiful ruined town that is a direct inspiration for one of the most important places in my story: The Starsea.

Unfortunately, graphics don't matter if the gameplay sucks. It's a shame... but that's the way it is.

FF2 and 3 skipped the west because they wanted to focus on the newfangled Super Nintendo and get FF4 out. But what about 5? Why'd they skip that one? :yoshi:
FFIV had bad sales, so Square didn't think the West was ready. But, look who came on the PSX, everybody except FFIII, and look who came to the GBA! Also, everybody but FFIII.

Come to think of it, why did FFIII never receive a GBA port or PSX port?

Just found out they moved The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard to June.

Nice! Enjoyed the first movie, definitely look forward to its sequel. Samuel L. Jackson and Ryan Reynolds have great chemistry.

I'm not even sure if the characters in FFII have any personality. Either because I'm playing the NES version and it's so godawfully translated anything resembling actual english grammar is nonexistent, or because they're simply not interesting enough.

Need to decide tomorrow about my April Fools period of a random as hell pfp. Something beyond my boundaries instead of anime/game related.

Should be a bit off the wall.

Wait, are you telling me it was possible to get a Tyranitar or Metagross in B&W via the rustling grass, well AFTER the game conditions you to keep thinking it's Audino?


malding rn, do not talk to me.

It won't matter because the site will decide the pfp for you. I learned too late, and it's one of the many reasons it's my least favorite holiday :yoshi:

Ahh my friend that's why you do it over a few days. From the 30th to the 3rd or something, Gotta get tactical.

In FFXV you can dress up as an Assassin from Assassin's Creed. But NOT any of the other FF protagonists? Come on! Let me equip the Buster Sword and dress up as Cloud and pretend I'm playing more FF7!
Don't get me started on that Snake. I'll wait until you are near the end of the game if you want hear me rant about something especially.

Also. If there are two things' I'll defend about FFXV to the end and saying without spoilers it's the chain of final bosses and the protagonist-antagonist dynamic.

Like chapter 13. Shows the real inconsistency of the whole game right there. Also that part is infamous for a reason.

Also the lore really does fold on itself and prevents the game from doing so much more. You'll see what I mean when you get there.
OK. I'm on chapter 8 before the Brave New World Mission. Felt like a good place to take a break and clear out some more sidequests and farm more EXP.

There's good spot to take a while. I'd check out Episode Gladio as well.

Again there is a lot of good things about the game like its modern fantasy setting and some aspects of it's combat but it's just messy. There's heart but it's got an irregular pulse.

OK I'm getting poetic. That's a sign I need to jump off for the night.

I mean... it is a little weird that it's basically Final Fantasy America, IMO. But yeah, I agree with most of this.

Enjoy man. It's definitely an experience. I myself should get around to rewatching it again.
Yeah boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
I'm definitely curious about what all the hype is about.

It seems to be the most praised and beloved western animated show of all time, and I don't doubt that it's for a good reason. With that, and how several friends already recommended it to me, I've already been planning on watching it for a while, now.

What, do you have early access to the sequels or something? Is your uncle james cameron?
My dog's second cousin twice removed works for James Cameron, and he told me everything.
