every final fantasy game except 2 is good. ff9 is my favourite, ff5, 10, 10-2, 6, 3, 7, 7r are all masterpiece games and the rest are all good

Can't post for 2 hours!
there are some pretty funny final fantasy tactics youtubes of people utterly breaking the game with black mage/calculator builds but i dont want to do any math, too complicated. when i first played the game as a little kid i was too stupuid to even understand how any of those math skills worked. now as an adult i am probably still too stupid to understand it, as well.

my faves were always 8-10 when i was younger. i went back to try to play 8 again a few years back with my very fond memories of it and the dialogue is so painfully cringe i just couldn't. 9 is still fine for me somehow.

i spent probably 100 hours on the card game in 9 alone

You might be the one person in the world who actually liked 9's card game. It's my favorite FF but even then I don't touch the card game any more than I have to

I wasn't a fan of the DS remake of 3. It's a 1:1 remake but with shiny new 3D graphics but they went the FF9 route for battles where theres a LOT of slow zooms and combat animations and fights that would originally have taken 15 seconds now take three minutes. Which is an issue when the encounter rate is still the same

With an emulator that has speed up function though? Now we're talking

the best part was that it had literally 0 impact on the actual game at all, unlike 8 lol. just a gigantic waste of time to level all those cards up and collect them all

There's a massive gap between the staff and the users in general, really, and there's probably like five different things we can blame on that gap widening going all the way back to GBS 1.0 and spanning to The Troubles, but the relevant bit is that I don't think it's ever been this wide and the only people capable of bridging it either don't know how, aren't capable of it or just don't seem to want to.

It's strange and sad, but at least it's currently at a simmer instead of a tiring boil.

This from a long while ago so apologies but only just now catching up on the lols and also for this long post.

This is because of the number of insane peooe on the website. So a mod gets made and maybe they’re even normal and funny etc but then once you’re a mod I assume you get reports and messages and stuff from people non stop. And it’s the same people and they’re all the insane ones. I have never reported a post and never will, unless I saw something illegal or extremely hosed up I would but that stuff is always removed really quickly and has always been removed when it’s in threads before I ever see only encounter it in the aftermath once people are loling about the drama aftermath., anything else I figure who cares and mods will eventually deal with it when they see it but does it really matter if it happens now or 5 days from now? This is because I’m an aggressively normal person and idgaf what happens on this forum unless I’m laughing at it and the only times I have cared at all was when I had an article written about me and others by the owner calling us Nazis because thats supremely hosed up and insane and even then I never reported anyone never even initiated pms with any mods or other uses only responded when they messaged me. And other being when apparently Jeffrey got contacted by the fbi about a post I made where I said “I’m gonna blow your dome off with a shotgun blammo!” in a really obviously comedic way but the poster or one of the aforementioned insane goons decided they could cause problems by reporting a “legitimate threat” and in that case I just left the forums for a year and asked to be permad after Jeffrey messaged me to tell me about it

so mods don’t interact with me, they interact with the person who’s pming every hour like hey why hasn’t that person who posted “AIDS is good actually” in the “AIDS is bad” thread been banned yet while they’re at work and not checking the forums so they come back to 10 of those messages and they went from asking for a ban to now they want the mod to be tried for war crimes for not responding sooner. And then you get to deal with insane blow ups that happen like illegal stuff etc. so you get used to just dealing with insane people and you assume all the posters are insane and you treat them as such and then everyone gets mad. And then of course the mods are drawn from that user base so about half the mods are insane and pedophiles and so you have to read a mod forum that is filled with the unhinged debates about how to punish arf for saying idiocracy is a documentary again. So half the mod team is also telling you that wow yeah we need to have a committee designed to determine whether poster Guile’s Taint is a woman or not so is it safe for them to use the word bitch in their posts without consequence, just like insane kinds of tribunals that try to peer into posters true motivations and their personal lives to concoct weird schemes about what the poster is really trying to do and what their plan is to bring down the forums but actually they just wanna post and they liked how Jesse in breaking bad said the word bitch.

Faced with such situations the normal response by a normal person would be to either stop being a mod or keep doing it but ignore all that stuff and just lol at it. Meanwhile the crazy mods keep being crazy and way too involved with the running of the website and the normal mods who might not just lol or quit and the ones who think they can make a difference or whatever are slowly driven insane by their comods and the goons at large.

Basically the mod team should be meaner but in a normal way that punishes babies like if someone makes a report about Larry calling something aids the person reporting should be banned. If a mod makes some of the posts that were leaked they should be demodded and prolly banned cause lol why would you write that? If a poster gets a sixer and they or anyone else complains about it they should get probed again indefinitely for being a whiny little baby. Alternatively I hope that doesn’t happen so I can keep loling. Namaste.

this is a good opinion

I know it's babby's first RPG but it truly had some bomb music and battles and honestly, the story wasn't terrible at all. Doom Castle and the Dark King themes were spectacular and I still listen to them on occasion

after becoming SaGa-pilled in recent years I gave 2 another go via the pixel remaster despite not enjoying it in the past and finally had a good time of it. is it the weakest FF game? yes, but it has some good qualities to it.

No you see we need secret tribunals for forums trenchcoat flashers like Bust Rodd or Snaketits guy where they'll get one chance, we'll keep an eye on them or its ramp this time for sure

But yeah seriously just fuckin ban people who abuse the report system or PM feature

Just looked it up and it’s someone named Jason Hightower. Looks like he mostly does children’s cartoons and the occasional video game as “Pedestrian #3” or whatever, nothing that made me go “oh poo poo it’s that guy!”
