The only FF I don't like is VIII because levelling is pointless and the story is complete nonsense

The first part is what makes it fun. You can completely blow the doors off the game before you're through the first disc. Plus, it has my favorite card game, which I now can play on my phone.

Wait, so it's not turn based now? It's an action game?

its hybrid. the director gave an interview saying he wanted to preserve the strategic elements of the battle system but wanted more action to appeal to modern players as well

ffviii has a cool final dungeon. shame about the rest of the game.

lol at everything that happens in space though. I think the attack where one of the final bosses hookshots four planets into you is better than sephiroth's planet attack.

I like this internet
HD burger. the framerate drops when it zooms in on it because of tesselation for sesame seeds & physics on lettuce. burgers on the ground in the background during battles way off in the distance, draw distance and lod is out of control for visual quality - way too high. fps keeps dropping

7 or 9. Battle systems are most accessible, but 9 has a bunch of throwbacks to the older games that will be lost on you.

The Walking Dead was episodic. The Wolf Man Game Within was episodic. Life is Strange was episodic. All these games? Win. So chill. It's not about the format. It's about whether or not it will be insanely win, which I think it will be. Let's also not forget that FF7 was episodic on several discs when it was released. :colbert:

7 is excellent. Then you could try 9. People really love X but I thought it was just alright, X-2 is excellent though.

I haven't played the first two but I think Life is Strange suffered from the episodic format because they couldn't afford to do everything in one go, or something like that. Just a random forums rumor I remember hearing. I would have rather bought and played it all at once, because I kept forgetting the game even existed.
