9 is by far the comfiest final fantasy. If I get isekai'd i want it to be to the world from fighting foodons, but FF9 is in close contention.

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.

just 7

8, i got stuck in the fight where rinoa is attached to ultamecias back right at the start of disc 4
9, i got stuck at some staircase with a massive eye monster right at the top, might have been near the end can't remember
10, i stopped somewhere around a big wedding scene with a lot of seymour

i got to the final boss of 4 as a kid and couldn't be bothered figuring out how to deal with big bang

other than that I've beaten 5, 7, 9, and 10. despite how much i like 10-2 I've never actually finished it lol. 1 is neat, 2 is weird, 3 sucks, 6 i think i got about halfway through and stopped for whatever reason, same with 12, 15 just didn't grab me at all. never played 8 or the 13s

I don’t care too much for the battle system in most Final Fantasies, I’ve only been able to complete about four of them.

FF9's faults are numerous and I love it all the same despite those numerous flaws.

I think the best way I could describe why I enjoy FF9 so much is if I just quote this bit from the game.

quote:

Ipsen and his good friend Colin worked at a tavern in Treno. One day, Ipsen got a letter. The letter was so wet from rain that most of the writing was illegible. The only part he could read said, 'Come back home'. Nowadays, we have airships and stuff, but back then, it was really hard to travel. He didn't know why he had to go back, but he got some time off, gathered his things, and set out on his journey home. He walked a thousand leagues through the Mist. Sometimes he was attacked by vicious monsters, but he made it, because his friend Colin was by his side. And then, after much time on the road, he had to ask Colin something: "Why did you come with me?" "Only because I wanted to go with you."

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
I beat 6 on an emulator while in high school, 7 in college, and 9 just a few years ago with my wife basically reading a strategy guide to me to smooth out the rough parts. I beat 15 like a week after release, it was really easy and straightforward in spite of the road trip aesthetic.

You could get a little replica of the Cloud Gate bean. I thought that was a cool sculpture when I visited but didn’t think to get any souvenirs.

These Final Fantasy games are too long at 40 hours.

Excuse me while I go play Horizon and Elden Ring for two hundred hours.

Anyone play Infernax? It looked cool but the price looked steep for a game that seems like it'd be pretty short.

How I’m coping:
Maybe my white-screen-on-startup-and-crash-to-desktop elden ring problems are just from the reportedly subpar pc version of the game that will soon be fixed in a patch, and not the result of my twenty-year-old graphics card that I cannot afford to replace anytime soon

There are a bunch of potential fixes for it on “reddit”, some pretty out-there ones I don’t quite get (uninstall the epic game store? Delete your temp folder? Rename your .exe files?) that sometimes seem to work for some folks, though I haven’t had much luck myself. I’d still recommend checking google, maybe you’ll be one of the lucky ones?

If you've got the space, try cranking your paging file up a shitload to, like, 20-25gb. Crashing without an error usually speaks to being out of memory from my past experiences.
