Bosses tended to be far too hard, and the world felt like a total copy/paste of III's. But I loved the animations and the job system. Worth a play, nothing amazing.

So far, having only played 1-8, VIII > VII > VI > IV > V PS1 = III DS > I Origins > II Origins

You mean before the fights and when you open the menu and stuff?

Square's PS1 releases of its SNES games were awful about that. The disc loading excuse really doesn't cut it when you consider that the PS1 has so much more memory than the NES that it shouldn't have to load in cases like that at all.

Interesting. Why is 8 your favorite?

V and VI are the only FF games I haven't played yet aside from the MMOs.

This + Gilgame/Gil Snapper were the only two bosses that gave me trouble.

A variety of reasons. Music, themes, a story that I could relate to more personally than some of the others and how visible Squall's emotions are among them. 7 is a better game in all the objective ways, like design and whatnot, but I just really liked all the aesthetic/artistic considerations of 8.

Yep, he was a pain in the butt. I leveled to 50 before finally taking him down. I set everyone to mime and just mined an sShot repeatedly, of course starting with haste 2 and cssting cure 3 as needed. Coral rings, ice shields (the two I had), etc.

Killed Omega too.

There's a one turn kill strategy for Shinryu it's kinda funny

I remember playing that with my friend years ago being as it was somewhat two-player in battle anyway as you could assign characters to each controller. We both took our job choices and progressions very seriously and made it to the final boss and got our asses kicked so we ended up switching to the class that throws money just so we could beat him lol. Felt so cheap but ehh what are you going to do

The job system (and a couple of creative bosses--the few that weren't soul-crushing) was the only thing I liked more about 5 than 4. 4 had better characters, better story, a better world, better music, etc.

Shinryu can be Berserk'd, so he's kind of a chump.
There's no easy (quick, glitch-free) way to kill Omega though.

V wasn't bad.

IV, VI, and Chrono Trigger were unbearable.

So I hear

But if you do, won't he just do that 6k physical attack over and over, only stronger because it's berserked?

Also what is NXD's Grand Cross supposed to do? He screams THE UNIVERSE IS IN PERIL like he's gonna freaking blow it all up, then he does this impressive light show move that had me thinking it was some instant wipe move I was supposed to somehow prevent, and then...

one character gets confused.

And I'm like... did it work?

It's a bunch of debuffs, like bad breath. You likely just had a lot of immunities / ribbons or something
