Board 8 > Nook's FF Topic [FF16 hype] [Series Ranking]

(+) Yeah! (+)

I mean, youre talking to the guy who just gave NES FF1 a 8.3/10 in 2023.

Bruh. Rangers rapid fire + ninjas dual wield = 8 fucking attacks

FF5 is so good

The gameplay is A+ for sure, but it legitimately has no plot.

Your opinion is not an objective fact and we have actual measurable data on which games and which characters people care about the most.

But hey if youre playing the America sucks card, heres a poll from Japan from 2021: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2021/03/japan_voted_on_final_fantasys_best_games_and_characters_-_do_you_agree_with_the_ranking

Galuf does not register.

Heres a poll from 2023 answered by only the most hardcore JRPG fans, because no one else is going to know or care what rpgsite is: https://www.rpgsite.net/feature/13827-the-best-final-fantasy-games-revealed-as-ranked-by-thousands-of-fans

Galuf again does not register. He quite literally got lost in translation.

Your personal opinion is not objective fact.

Dude I like FF5 but if you're trying to tell me Galuf's plot twist is a top 2 iconic thing in this series you're spouting nonsense. Like there are real tangible numbers here from representative samples, not "Ulti is talking shit lol". If the game was treated like 4 and 6 were on the SNES we'd have a discussion here, but it wasn't.

I guess you could make an argument for Palom and Porom in FF4, maaaaaybe?

How in the world did you think of the twins before Tellah?

but little did I know where the game truly shined was it's combat

I first played 5 on the PS1, lag and all. Loved it. The plot just isnt there tho.

12 is amazing. I still think it has the best optional content of the games I played in the entire series, but 15 comes close.

Name a death more remembered when people think about the game it's from among the numbered FFs then

By caring way more about their deaths because they didn't have ten billion death flags around them from the start? Because they're little kids and an old man dying out of revenge hits less hard than two children sacrificing their lives so adults may live? Because you can actually try to depetrify them with a gold needle and the game accounts for that and says 'no, they're too far gone'? There's a lot of reasons their death scene hits harder than Tellah's and Cid's (which I'd also argue hits harder than Tellah's, fwiw, if only because you've known him for longer by the time he disappears and he's a more enjoyable character to begin with). Tellah's death isn't even the meanest one in his own game at all, even if it's the one that sticks.

And then you go on about your own view, which is not what the general players think, and even admit at the end that Tellah's still is the one that people remember out of FFIV.

You're free to have your own personal takes but don't go conflating it with what the community thinks.

Yes, the scenes with the twins, Cid, and Yang are all shocker moments, but the impact is lessened when they all live in the end. I doubt people are gonna immediately think about the "sacrifices" they made when they think about the character. Much like in the real world where people aren't quick to remember the sacrifices you made in life as long as you're alive.

FF15:

Most memorable deaths from each Final Fantasy:

FF3: pass

When I played XI, anytime I got to a cutscene I swear it would automatically end because someone in the party wanted to move on.

It's made me skeptical of mmo stories, how is it even presented if you're also meant to have a constant gameplay experience?
