I love ff ranking topics

I used to bash on 8 and 9, but in retrospect they were just the worst of the best

- best tier
6
7
10
- good tier
8
9
- they tried and did okay tier
12
4
5
- what is storytelling tier
13

It's really hard to compare games that are so different in terms of gameplay, but I like weird settings, coherent stories, and non distracting combat systems

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

I don't consider Tactics an FF game.

So, 9.

Played 'em all but FF XV (yet) - The FF X and FF VIII omissions are funny, but for real, FFXII and FFXIII-2 are among the best.

I think it's funny you left out X but leaving out VIII just makes you a troll

When did 6 get such a resurgence in popularity. It was always popular but was always seen as weaker than 7 for a long time.

Agreed. Back in the day it got a lot of hate for having the Final Fantasy name and being so simplistic. It's really just a SNES version of the Final Fantasy Legend series.

This is a masterpiece of a troll ranking. 6 is high, but still 3rd, and behind one of the worst final fantasy games ever made. XIII ahead of VII as well. It's like a Rembrandt of bad taste.

I didn't care for it. It didn't have much charm, and some of the boss fights weren't even that easy. I also hear people say how good the music is, but I thought it was maybe average at best.

So ...

VIII - Terrible battle system and a really bad overall plot
X - The start of final fantasy's decline. The best thing that can be said about it is it is not as bad as the ones that come after it.
XII - The game plays itself, is overly long, and the characters are minor players in the plot
XIII - Just a bad game overall. A 3/10 is generous for this game.
XV - A really bad game overall. A 4/10 is generous for this game.

These are the games in your TOP 3?

FFX was the greatest. 8 and 9 were very good too. I don't care much for 7 - too childish. 12 was enjoyable but there were too many MMO / strategy-guide-bait elements. 13 was decent but the pacing was too unrelenting. FF15 was a mess.

Earliest games are largely unplayable due to poor graphics and writing (again, childish).

Only counting the mainline because there are way too many other games


Also get Dissidia PS4 out already

8 is great if you can ignore the tiring draw system and view the main characters as confused teenagers instead of relatable protagonists

I misunderstood the draw system entirely when I first played FF8, so never grinded for it and it was awesome. Characters were fine IMO, standard FF fare.

And yet you put FFXV, a solid 3/10 that is below average at almost everything, in second. So no, it's not nostalgia.

As if I'm going to write an essay on everything these bad games did wrong.

I've forgotten most of the details of them because the only reason to keep them in mind would be as a list of things not to do.

I personally despised ff8 for the story, the mechanics (didn't like draw, junction, or summoning abuse) but i'll say that the music, graphics were good, and triple triad was the best thing to come out of ff8.
