Discuss. Personally, I feel 7 is riding on the nostalgia train too hard and 9 should be a lot higher.

My rubric:

Top half of all FFs: Any game where a resistance movement fights against an evil empire
Bottom half of all FFs: all the others

Edit: not kidding, probably goes

14, 8, 7, 6, 12, 15, 13, 2 (ok this breaks symmetry) // 10, 4, 9, 5, 3, 1, never played 11

Edit 2: by all accounts 16 will be a top-half game. "Imperial vipers? Do they really mean to invade us?"

I wish there were more types of armor, I'm like 15-20 hours in and I've found one million weapons but only one piece of armor + one shield that has better stats than the starting vagabond gear (i'd like to switch to something lighter and upgrade that tbh because I miss the quick roll but nothing I've found seems worth using)

9 has been getting a lot of revisionist upwards movement when in reality it's sort of middle of the road as far as golden age (~4-10) FFs go

In Neverwinter Nights 2 I spent an hour trying to respec my character, just like digging through all the menus and reading feats and poo poo lol

I don't think I ever finished it, lol reading that it ends with literally rocks fall everyone dies and MOTB starts there.

I spent 2 hours in the MOTB character creator and did not finish the first dungeon

MOTB is great I recommend maybe eventually finishing it tbh

FF9 is a good higher end FF in spite of its flaws, actually, while 8 is a good higher end FF because of its flaws

Kerzzhe, if you're looking for some things to do that aren't hitting your head against a wall of enemies, you could backtrack a bit to a boss you've downed and assist others in defeating that boss. I believe you can get a fair amount of runes this way.

that's something i've been trying to do! the most convenient one for me is Margit, he drops 3k souls for cooperating but MAN actually getting a successful kill seems to take forever. either people are bad, or i get a connection error right before he dies. last night i was trying it again and it felt like i was waiting around a lot longer to actually get summoned too, so i don't know if most people are already past him, or what.

Ff9 is good!! Just less good than 4, 5, 6, 7, 7R, 8, 10, 10-2, 12, 13-2, 13-3, and 14. Outside of mainline it also probably falls behind tactics, tactics a2, theaterhythm, dissidia duodecim, and mystic quest.

Just spotted a very sad piece of worldbuilding in Valkyria Chronicle. When the war first started my available recruits all came from a variety of ages and backgrounds but now I'm deep in and the only new recruits coming through are all aged 15-19 because the rest of the country's manpower has been exhausted :smith:

I find I got more souls faster by being available of coop deeper in the castle. Especially because even if the partnership goes wrong, you keep the ones you did manage to bag.

FF12 is not in the top 10 and FF3 is. This list is a disgrace! A disgrace!

The replacement GameSir came after Amazon offered to replace the whole thing when I asked if they had any replacement thumb grips that go on the control sticks after I lost one...but now the left analog stick makes a faint noise like a broken clock when I move it in the down direction

how many final fantasy games have you ever beaten, like, beat the main final boss? Unless I did it as a young teen binging on SNES ROMs and forgot, I don't think I ever have. FF7 I've come closest, but once you get disc 3 and the map opens up i gotta get the golden chocobo and secret materias and beat up the secret weapons and blegh I'll never finish that game. FF12 is the best combat of the franchise by a few thousand miles, but drat these games are freaking long with lots of downtime to drag em out longer, even with fast forwarding tricks.
