Friends and kupos fear he's about to start Final Fantasy IV and then V.

I love IV. Does your copy have The After Years on it as well?

No, I hear that's great though?

Do me a favour and rank your fav FFs for me. Just out of interest.

Not sure I can really do it honestly as it'll probably change a bit but I'll try.

VI
IX
VII
VIII
X
IV + The After Years
V
XIII

Can't really rank XIV given it's an MMO and I'm only 30hrs into it and it seems like the DLCs are the best part. I could honestly swap around everything in that list from VII to IV. Even if XIII is at the bottom I have a lot of love for it and really fond memories of playing it given it was my introduction to the series. Yet to play XII.

Lol I forgot about XV and XVI. Both would be around XIII for me but like with that I still have a lot of love for it. XV in particular has so many flaws and issues especially in the last few chapters where you could feel it was so rushed and messed up (think they fixed some of this with patches after release), but it has such a uniqueness to it with the road trip aspect and the sense of exploration in it. If it actually had a few towns it could have felt brilliant. I'd honestly say that I'd go back and replay every single FF title.

Here to plant my flag and say the only correct take: FF16 is the only good Final Fantasy game. Never in my life did I think that a Final Fantasy game would have me playing as a fire elemental Godzilla and I’d actively lose my fucking mind at every set piece.

Come back to me when Weaboo Fantasy 7 has something half as hard as this sequence

You don't have to convince me 16 is good. I own it and have played the interlude

XVI is class and I'll be a die-hard defender until my dying breath, but it ain't touching that golden era PS1 trilogy.

[NateDog]

I liked XVI a lot and love Ben Starr a little too much, but the combat unfortunately was a little too lacklustre in the end and I really wish they made better use of the female characters because they set them up so damn well from the start.

I've been meaning to get the Pixel Remaster collection for a while now, since I still need to play I-VI (I've played a little of VI, but only got so many hours into it). On which one is my favourite, mine is FFVII, it's also probably my second most favourite game of all time behind Super Metroid, loved Remake and Rebirth even more. Not many games get me to tear up from just the joy of playing it or because I care so much about the characters.

Also, after finishing Rebirth last year I went back to the original FFVII to get the platinum, it was so much fun, I've never been able to beat Ruby weapon before, so it felt great to finally do it after so many years. I loved trying out all the recommended tactics to take him out. I think in the end I did the trick where you only have 1 party member alive and then use W-Summon with Knights of the Round amongst some other things I'm forgetting. I love the materia system.
