Every FF is easy except maybe XIII if you don't understand how to paradigm shift, which apparently a lot of people don't

i think the first game and JP 4 are actually hard, but yes, the rest of them are easy. ff12 takes it to a different level though, the game almost literally plays itself after you set up your gambits and you just need to shuffle them a bit for boss fights, watch a boss's hit points and then play the limit break mini-game well. maybe the IZJS version is different, though, i only played the US PS2 release. and like i said, we only did like 80 percent of the hunts and there were two summons we never got.

if i had to pick 1 series that i was only allowed to play for the rest of my life it would be final fantasy .. like .. theres better series, in terms of gameplay and stuff, dragon quest, shin megami tensei etc. but none of them on their own can show you all the sights and stuff that final fantasy has throughout the yearws

Is FFXV as bad as I keep hearing or is it just a bunch of whining?

It's really good, actually. I don't care for the ending but most of the thread like even that. It's just a fun game where you hunt monsters and make recipes and go fishing, and sometimes explore a huge dungeon.

FFXV is great. But it's hella unfinished and super obvious about it. The stuff that's there works really well, though, and the ending still manages to land like a ton of bricks.

e: the game's biggest crime is making me wish there were more of it. like in the base game. the dlc stuff is good to great but is all launched separately and doesn't feel like actual additions to the game itself unfortunately

Despite the problems I had with the ending, I really really enjoyed it and sunk something like 200 hours in it the month after it launched.

One of FFXV’s biggest flaws was being only able to take one monster bounty at a time, and having to go back to the same specific place at daytime to turn it in, and I’m pretty sure that got fixed pretty early on.

Yeah, I think they patched that in at some point during or after season one.

this is suddenly a problem with every open world game, the amount of time i spent trying to pick up tiny things or actually grab an underwater chest in witcher 3 is insane.

devs have to make the hit boxes on stuff you can activate bigger.

i did hate any of the bounties that you had to fight the monster in the rain, because there's no way to affect weather. there weren't too many of them, though.
