no, there is a mistake, theres been people saying that FF6 is the best, FF7 is the best, FF9 is the best... out of all those people... the votes just don't add up, unless they posted but didn't vote or voted but just didn't post.

I refuse to believe that FF8 has the majority vote, and there hasn't been some sort of error. That game was a monstrosity.

FF8 sucked. FFX sucked.

Why did FFX suck? 1 word. Blitzball.

FF8's story was horrible.

The story in 8 was pretty good until Esthar. Then, it all fell apart.

I)ark_Phoenix

2002-11-10, 04:33 PM

FFX was horrible, but not because of Blitzball... blitzball was damn awesome for a mini game. The story, music was all great... I didn't like it because... it was too easy and short.

Thanatos

2002-11-10, 04:59 PM

It was pretty short; I found it a little hard though. But I disagree in Blitzball. I hated it.

FF8 was way too easy and short.
I finished FF8 in 5 days.

I didn't think FF8 was too short. And FFX sucked because it was more of a movie than a game.

I)ark_Phoenix

2002-11-11, 03:30 PM

FFX being a movie=so not true
FFX having more movies than any other FF games= so true
FF8 being a short game= so not true
FF8 being an easy game= so true

FF6!

Though Kefka could be beaten in one turn, with the right stuff...

the game doesnt suck because of how easy the boss is, so lol.

BlueCube

2002-11-12, 08:48 AM

Yeah, I know. The fact that I would actually take the time to build up to Level 99 is a testament to how good FF6 really is.. Exploring and learning Esper spells was great.

I)ark_Phoenix

2002-11-12, 03:21 PM

heh, I've played a little bit of FF3/FF6 but didn't find it THAT amazing. It was one of the best and very original but not the greatest.

I agre. FFX was way too easy. I think that as time progresses, the games graphics get better, but the gameplay gets shorter, which sucks. FFVIII was awesome because it was a feat of magnificence. It was the first of its kind to have the graphics it has. And need i mention it was the first to finally have proportionitaly accurate characters. It was like al the others were in midget universe. Then, all of a sudden, God said, "Hey, this sucks. I think it is time to get rid of the stupid midges, and make people look right." Of course i say this, then FFIX comes along. I just wish Squaresoft would make up its mind for once. They keep going back and forth. It is kind of getting boring. Oh well, that is my opinion. Tis All.

I)ark_Phoenix

2002-11-13, 03:50 PM

I agree with that, but I sorta liked how FF9 had their characters' design... FF9's character's were no "midget" and greatly designed. They look very cool, and good "height" for a game. But I guess Square went for just taller people... FFX, XI, X-2... all of them look just like people.

Raziel

2002-11-13, 04:57 PM

FF9's character design was the best in the series. It was inventive and memorable. Realistic character models are a dime a dozen, and are the easiest type of models to produce. If I wanted "realistic" characters, I'd play Metal Gear Solid.

And Vegeta, it's not that Square "can't make up their mind" about artistic style in the Final Fantasy games. There are two different teams that work on every other game. The team that did FF7 did FF9, and the team that did FF8 did FF10. That's why 8 and 10 sucked so badly. They had the same incompetent morons making both games.

I)ark_Phoenix

2002-11-13, 06:04 PM

bah, I didn't even know that. How many "teams" are there? 2?

Raziel

2002-11-13, 08:30 PM

Yeah, just the two. But, Square may not be using the two-team system anymore, considering the head of the company resigned after FF10. Square is under different leadership now, and considering the way their near-future releases look, it's entirely possible that the FF7/FF9 team has been removed from further development on the FF series. If that's the case, my hope in any worthwhile future releases from Square has just died.

2002-11-13, 08:36 PM

I would resign after FF10 too :-/

True that they were memorable, but the game wasn'tmuch fun. And okay, maybe FFVIII wasn't that hard, but still it was a pretty cool game.At least i thought it was. It was a cool game with great graphics. FFIX i thought was a horrible game. Anyone who had anything to do with that needed to be fired. FFX, sadly i have never played it. So, I can't exactly give an opinion om it.Yet.

FF7 is the best FF Game and RPG(with Chrono Cross) out there
FF8 is a good one too but not so good how 7
FF9 is the awfully FF Game out there
FF6 i've heard 6 is a good part too but i can't say have it but i don't played it yet
FF10 i would play next week

Bye JiDDaR

2002-11-14, 01:40 PM

FF9 was the best one in the series. The reason being that Square finally decided to forget about creating ridiculous stat/battle systems and focus more on creating well-developed characters, plot, and art for the game. FF9 blew everything else in the series to ashes.

I)ark_Phoenix

2002-11-14, 03:33 PM

JiDDaR, I don't know why you HATE FF9 and LIKE FF8... FF7 and 6 I understand because they are awesome, but why pick on 9 over 8???!!!

2002-11-14, 04:13 PM

Here's how I would rate all of the games I've played from the series.

1. FF9
2. FF6
3. FF4
4. FF7
5. FF5
6. FF10
7. FF8

Final Fantasy 7 will always be my favourite. I miss Aeris. >_<

Square did what they set out to do with FFX... it still sucked but they pulled off an intentional "interactive movie" theme. Heh.

StonedVegeta

2002-11-15, 01:56 PM

FF8-for the reason of graphics. First in it's series.
FF6/3-Need i say more
FF7-Awesome game. Great graphics for time, and great story line.
FF4-Better than the rest.
FF5-Pretty good story line.
FF10-Haven't played fully. GREAT GRAPHICS, not as much playing time though.
FF9-Good graphics, crappy characters.

I guess all I can say is that it is a matter of opinion.

i prefer 8 more then 9 because
the whole game was boring and kiddy.and i apply with stonedvegeta about ff9.
but we all have our own opinion.
and i think 9 is crap

Vidar

2002-11-16, 02:40 PM

i think FF7 is the best FF because there square did everythig right the story is good, the characters are cool, the game has many secrets and and long playtime motivation.
if i rank all FF games i played it looks like this:
1.FF7
2.FF6
3.FF10
4.FF8
5.FF5
6.FF9

StonedVegeta

2002-11-18, 02:41 PM

Not Bad. I agree. FFVII was a totally awesome game. Now, if i was voting for the best FF game in terms of gameplay and characters, it would be FFVII. But, I still like Rinoa, and the graphics of FFVIII were awesome.

Jiddar, I didn't really like FF7 that much. The translation was awful, the story was fragmented, and the villain was a pansy.

FF9 on the other hand, had a near-flawless translation, the story made complete sense and was really involving, and Kuja was the greatest FF villain ever. On top of that, it was just a better game in every other category. The graphics were tons better, the music was phenomenal, the gameplay was a lot better, and it was just more fun overall.

well, actually, i might. But then again, there is the little problem of me not playing it yet. I may change my mind later on.

Oh, and to everyone that was offended by my remarks on FF9, then I guess it would help you cope to tell you that there was on character I liked. Kuja. Coolest villain ever. Next to Ultimecia in FF8. She was freakin tough to beat. If you didn't cheat.

ok but FF7 was produced in the year 1997 and FF9 2000/1 i think that will explain the graphic and the sound .
k i agree that the battle system was better in 9 but in 7 u can do more then in 2*FF9.
don'T know where are u come from but i don't think u are german .
but in german that are the awfully translations and i think ur english people.
and sephiroth was a great vilian too.

I'm an American, Jiddar. And even though FF7 was made 3 years before FF9, that doesn't excuse how bad the translation was, or how lame a villain Sephiroth was.

I just didn't like the game as much as everybody else. It's probably because FF7 was so many people's first Final Fantasy game. FF4 was my first, so a lot of FF7's attraction was lost on me.

i think i now understand why all the people who played FF on SuperNintendo don't like FF7 and FF8 it is because of the style break the older game are more fantasy and mystic style and FF7 and FF8 are more in a future style. with this point of view may be FF9 is better then i thought because it rembers me on the SNES FFs because of the style and that you have 4characters not just three. and there are many small things wich are in FF9 wich were in the SNES FFs but i think the post will to long then.

but i still think FF7 is better then FF9! (view above)

Raziel

2002-11-22, 06:06 PM

Actually, the sci-fi elements of FF7 were some of my favorite parts. The reason I am so negative towards FF7 is because everybody freaks out over the game, and it's not really as great as most people think it is. So many people worship FF7 because it was the first one to feature 3D graphics, CG cutscenes, and a villain with a really long sword. But, those things don't make a great game for me. A good story, memorable characters, and thoughtful design are what make a great game. And FF7 just didn't stack up in those areas as much as some of the other games in the series. But, that's just my opinion.

Uh Ultimecia was easy... its called Aura/RenzoKuken/Meltdown, but all of my characters was at 99 at the time and Squall had near perfect statistics (Gotta love devourer). And when Ultimecia shows her true for just draw and cast the Apocalypse spell that her bottom half has and beat her down. I only lost one character during that whole battle cause I wanted her to die (It was Quistis) I needed to find one of my characters.

ok your right the most important in an rpg is the story but for me was the story of ff9 too short for me.
but we all have our own opinions if all would think in the same way the world would be very boring :)
but i think i talk for all of us if i would say FF is the best RPG-serie which excist.
after ff i prefer the chrono serie

Raziel

Well, I have to agree with you there. Final Fantasy definitely beats any other RPG series out there these days. But, who knows. Maybe the Chrono series or Mana games will surpass it some day.

!King_Amazon!

2002-11-23, 07:50 AM

I don't want to compare different series of RPG games. I loved secret of mana and evermore (no relation), I loved chrono trigger, and I loved the FF series. Comparing them would be like trying to compare your children.

HOLY SHIT, LOTS BEEN GOING ON HERE... sorry guys but I couldn't get on Zelaron for AWHILE cuz of the messed up logging in crap. I asked Chruser to try to fix it and hey, it worked... and yeah, all I can say right now is that... FF7 wasn't as good as I expected... FF9=still the best RPG out there according to me, followed by Chrono Trigger, and THEN FF7.

StonedVegeta

2002-11-25, 11:16 AM

Um...BMS-Ice-. Even if your characters were level 99. it still wasn't that easy. I am not saying Ultimecia was the hardest villain ever, but she was pretty dang hard. For me, Squall was level 95 with 255strenght, 9999hit points, and a few others. Everybody was like level 50 or something. If you keep your other characters level and stuff down, then Squall is amazing. And the GF Bahamut and Eden. The best in the game. I did like 25,000 damage every time I used either of them. Just use boost, and the battle is won.

Oh and I)ark_Phoenix, could you possibly make me a sig. With Final Fantasy. Just use your imaginaiton if you want. You know what FF games I like.

I)ark_Phoenix

2002-11-26, 05:56 PM

I could try and ask a friend to make a simple one...

and excuse me for saying this but... ULTIMECIA WAS A BIG HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT! I beat the goddamn boss in less than 10 mins... first bang away with Eden on her first form, and then when it comes to her GF, just crush him with Limit breaks, and then the third form, do the same, and then the last form, use HOLY WAR item on your party when she uses Hell's Judgement and then smash away using limit breaks. She should be dead before the holy war effect goes out.

Even so, she could be pretty tough. If she ever got a chance to use Hell's Judgement, it did a lot of damage. She wasn't that easy at all. Now Ultimate weapon and Omega weapon. They were hard. EXTREMELY HARD!

I)ark_Phoenix

2002-12-04, 08:02 PM

Hell's Judgement is an ability that she uses right when the final battle begins dropping all your characters' HP to 1, giving you an awesome advantage... cast Holy War and start ramming her with limit breaks... simple as that... it took me total of one try to kill her.

exactly my point... that's one of the reasons that ppl didnt like the game because some items and magics were unbelievably cheap making the game really easy.

But, you did have to go through a card game side quest to get Gilgamesh Card and turn it into 10 holy wars and that took me a while cuz i SUCK at card games in FF8 lol.

StonedVegeta

2002-12-11, 01:05 PM

Yeah.....alright, I will not argue with that. Even so, like I said, Ultimate Weapon and Omega weapon were hard. Even with "Cheap Magic".

I)ark_Phoenix

2002-12-11, 08:00 PM

yeah, Omega was really hard even using holywar cuz it has so much HP and it could instantly kill your party with one move or even before you do anything if you arent ready for them. But Ultima was really easy even without the "cheap" items/magics.

StonedVegeta

2002-12-19, 10:38 AM

Not that easy. They were tougher than Ultimecia.

Titusfied

2002-12-19, 11:10 AM

FFVII is winning, and rightfully so. The game was evolutionary, no matter how cheesey the gameplay or bad the translation. Its like Jurassic Park, not the best movie anymore considering what can be done, but it revolutionize the filmmaking industry.

Materia was the best way they planned out all their spells and abilites so far in my opinion. I actually hate the way of taking the ability from the boss in the battle, its so gay!

The Super Bosses were extremely challenging, and getting to Lvl 99 was actually pretty damn difficult. Knights of the Round. What else do I have to say other than there is NO WAY ANYONE could have figured that shit out by themselves and without looking in a strategy guide or walkthrough on the internet. If you did, I give you mad props! :)

Anyway, 8 sucked, too easy, and ending was way too easy. 9 was a lot better than 8 because they actually got back to the "Fantasy" portion of the series (Characters wise). And 10 was pretty decent considering the graphic and sound qualities. 7 is definitely the best so far though, bar none!

I)ark_Phoenix

2002-12-22, 10:36 AM

Not that easy. They were tougher than Ultimecia.

Yes... they were, in fact all of the FF games have bosses that aren't the STRONGEST bosses in the game. Like for instance, FF9... Necron was NOTHING compared to Ozma... and FF8, Ultimecia can be harder than Ultima Weapon but Omega Weapon was the hardest to beat in that game.

2002-12-30, 11:31 AM

I dont see how all of you liked FF9, it sucked. FF8 was much better then it. Hell, i liked FF5 better than ff9. (And, FFX wasnt that bad, they used a new level system and they were bound to get flames)

I)ark_Phoenix

2002-12-31, 04:56 PM

that's your opinion. Generally, every doesn't like... even HATE FF8 and likes/loves either FF7 or 9(9 FOR ME). If you really want to argue about it... go to Raziel eheheh lol.

ok, FF8 I understand... BUT FFX... IT SUCKED. There's no need for more words to be wasted on the first pathetic RPG game Square made on PS2.
