i never said i hate the story and i didn't use hyperbole lol. a lot of it is just corny classical story telling, with no help from visuals, so it's just hard to be particularly immersed. kefka is like outrageously over the top. edgars first impression is being a huge dbag. what the fuck is Gao. this other dudes kingdom/family being poisoned is sad but also who are you. also his class is samurai, which seems mostly irrelevant in a game where classes don't matter, you can't change them, and it has no bearing on his character. maybe i'm mistaken with that but i don't care for anything except like Terra and maybe Sabin.
that being said, i wouldn't call the story a negative.

ScazarMeltex posted... I get it. From a modern perspective the game mechanics are extremely dated and basic. I played it when it came out, so those are the types of games I grew up with so it doesn't bother me. I don't know if I would enjoy them had that not been the case.
My chief issue is that the game has characters that are just objectively better than all the others. Like Sabin's Blitzes by the end of the game are so powerful that there is no reason not have him in your party at all times. It's frustrating because there are 14 characters to use and level but 5 or so of them are just inherently more powerful than all the rest.
i get that. and i try to see the game through that lense. but i just think all things considered it lacks what a lot of the later FFs do in terms of storytelling through visuals and misses a major draw with that. That being said, FFT is one of my favorite FFTs, but that's just for the gameplay. the story is cool too though.
Nemu posted... Do you like any of the classic games/classic-styled or just the modern games?
the only sprite based game i like that i can think of is FFT, if that counts. i grew up just past the era of those types of games so it's hard for me to look past that. but just even navigating the mechanics and battle system, i don't feel particularly immersed.
