As a kid I just kept my guys at critical and spammed skip to do it way before aura but yeah.

Never used summons. Lots of ways to break that game in any case even if you don't really pay attention
Yup, both of these for me. Summons took way too long to be fun to use for the most part. Doomtrain was useful though, IIRC.

I think "of its time" kinda implies that the experience is messy yes.

For me the more I think about it it's about damage done to the series overall with the release.
Both of these are in play for me, and I think the answer thus becomes Final Fantasy XIV 1.0, which I guess is truly a testament to how Herculean a task it was to repair that game and turn it into the tremendous experience it is now.

It's not FF2. People forget just how influential that game actually was. SaGa exists today because of it. Dragoons and several series mascots exist today because of it. Hell, 'FF has interesting stories' exists today because of it.

Exactly.

The gameplay is heavily unapproachable

Nope.

shoutouts to FF9 for having the worst gameplay in the series.

That's more like it.

Doomtrain and Cerberus were the two worth using

Eh, all Cerberus is good for is a quick way to get Aura on everyone, and Quistis can do that with Big Guard. Doomtrain is good, because causing Vit 0 without Meltdown is really good.

That would require me to use Quistis all the time and I usually don't!

quistis has one job and that is to degenerator the deep sea research center

otherwise she bench warms

Degenerator is also helpful for when you're ready to power level at the end

Wow I came in expecting XV to sweep with ease and was very wrong lol. It seems to be very back and forth. Though I think XIII has had the most mentions at this point?
