FF9 vs FF8
Vote
Also, as someone who doesn't deal with many RPGs (loved FF7 and FFX while CT, SMRPG, and the time I got to the dark world in FF3/6 were legit too...modern RPGs I like best are LISA the Painful and Undertale), what questions might be worth asking to make sure I get the right choice in what's nearly 2020? --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/ssb/images/0/0d/Sheik-Victory3-SSB4.png ...

I mean, if you're asking on B8, FFIX winning the poll is a foregone conclusion.

Do you prefer complexity or simplicity in an RPG. I think simple? FF7's materia was awesome back in the day but weighed me down a few years ago when revisiting the game. Is FFX complicated? I think its turn-based system and sphere grid was great. CT fit the mold pretty well for me. SMRPG is unnecessarily simple, though not to the point of being a flaw. Undertale's perfectly simple and LISA is convoluted but I liked figuring that one out better when I figured out it's just a status-based RPG. --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/ssb/images/0/0d/Sheik-Victory3-SSB4.png ...

i think 8 is the more unique/interesting experience
9 was more of a serenade to players who enjoyed ff1-5 and didn't like the hybrid fantasy/sci-fi route that 6-8 had taken if they fixed the game speed in ff9 for the switch version it might be more of a debate, but the ps1 wasn't powerful enough to run the game at a good rate --- You did indeed stab me in the back.

That brings up a good point: I'm assuming both versions are good versions on the Switch. I don't know if that is true though.

FF IX of course. For FF VIII just wait for the remake. FF IX is perfectly charming as is.

tbh it depends on what you're looking for in an RPG
FF8: - the aesthetic is a sci-fi/fantasy mix - also the aesthetic is TEEN DRAMA with a heavy dose of romance - at times, the plot gets pretty goofy. ( - the character customization is on the complex side, and you might want to make a playthrough topic for people to give you advice. my first playthrough, I did all my battles by spamming summons, which is both tedious and (I found out much later) a bad way to play FF9: - the aesthetic is classic fantasy. castles, kingdoms, knights and mages - more straightforward in plot and gameplay - a lot more emotionally resonant, at least for me --- another place and time, without a great divide, and we could be flying deadly high ...
