Gathering your old party members would be a lot more exciting to me if Celes/Sabin/Edgar wasn't already more or less the three characters I like to keep around the most (with Terra sometimes being interchangeable with Celes, sometimes being the fourth) so I basically have "my team" immediately and the rest of the journey is recruiting the filler <_<

Well, I'm mostly working toward getting Locke back at this point. The Phoenix Cave is sort of the coup de grace of the World of Ruin, a sort of "saving the best for last" thing for me.

But I'm going to try to beat the dragons, Doomgaze, do the necessary sidequests (Cyan's Doma sidequest), and then move on.

The dragons are kind of cool but after playing the GBA version and seeing their revamped versions in the bonus dungeon, the original ones feel a bit lacking. Those updated ones were some seriously cool boss fights.

Although at the same time, that's one of the weak points of the World of Ruin. Everything feels so...disconnected. There's no real "flow" to the story at this point. You're basically getting Edgar, Setzer, and whoever else you feel like back before you fight Kefka (who doesn't even make an appearance in the second half of the game until the very end when you fight him). But there are a lot of good individual character scenes along the way, and that makes it worth the journey.

It's got a pretty damn nice bonus dungeon and...really not a huge deal of other exciting new stuff besides Gilgamesh.

I realize also that most of my replies so far have been critical in various ways so I ought to point out that I like FFVI a fair bit and think the World of Ruin is pretty awesome.

Hey, I like FFT almost as much as FFXII! And someone has to defend FFXII, if I start vocalizing my criticisms of it instead of just my praises, nothing positive would ever be said about it at all, and I can't have that happen to one of my favourite games, can I?

Well, I've just never been able to find it in stores, same with FFV Advance. I managed to snag FFIV Advance at some point, although I don't think I've put more than an hour into it.

So basically XII would become VIII if I weren't around?

Shame you only have IV from that port trilogy. Not only is it the weakest game overall, its port (here in North America where we live) is notoriously shoddy for an SE product. Weird lag and ATB issues sometimes.

Yeah, it's too bad. I'm not a huge fan of the old FFs other than VI anyway though, so it's not too big of a deal. I'd like to give them another try one of these days, just not with the PS versions.

Almost feel like it's a waste to play FFIV Advance with the DS remake is laying around out there, too.

I prefer the GBA/PSP style of that game actually. Not a big fan of the aesthetics in the DS version. And as you know, aesthetics are a big thing for me in gaming.

But I know what you mean. It's one of the things I love about VIII. I think it's got top-notch presentation.

Not nearly to that extent <_< But I would be more negative if I had a lot of "this was awesome" comments about stuff I thought was less than awesome to respond to, rather than a ton of "this sucked" comments about stuff I thought was awesome. My standards for games are kind of odd in that they're extremely high, but I don't expect games to come close to fully reaching them, so I can have a ton of complaints about a game and then turn around and say it's one of my favourites.

I suppose I'm kinda the same way. I'm pretty forgiving of most flaws a game may have as long as it's, for the most part, enjoyable. There aren't very many games out there that I would say I flat out dislike as a whole.

That's pretty much how it is for me. I mean, even FFVIII is still a game I enjoy despite my frequent complaints about it. Only games in the series I don't enjoy are IV and II, and even the latter is borderline.

Fair enough. >_>

It's middle-tier for me. Definitely the weakest entry between IV and XII at least. I think I like it more than II, II and XIII though.

FFV is good on the GBA at least.
