I fucking love Final Fantasy 10 and I'm tired of pretending that I don't

no it's not. it's a soap opera romance for women and fags, i'm sorry you had to find out this way

Very white opinion Anon.

I’m still pissed they took the best character, Lulu, and stuck her with the most cocksucking dogshit retard in the game, Wakka. He’s literally fucking stupid, that’s his whole bit. Holy shit this was the beginning of the end with them, starting with race mixing. Killed their whole series.

Better dead than Al Bhed, ya.

Name three (3 (III)) games with good stories then.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirt-... I'm kidding. Can't say that with a straight face.

this fag only played vii remake and xv

Blitzball was cool, come on mayne

shitty story, terrible characters

one of the best written stories and well rounded, consistent characters in all of vidya. Not perfect, but very good. Only mainish character that I thought sucked was Seymour as a villain

linear as fuck

linear story progression, just as linear as each game before it. The sphere grid made gameplay dynamic. 6, 7, 8 and 9 had all characters basically serving the same purpose, X forced you to actually use strategy and provided more challenge. The empty world maps didn't make prior games non-linear, X fleshed out it's setting and invested in making it's world fleshed out.
way more post-game content that was rewarding and fun.

atrocious art style

hard disagree. The biggest strength of X was it's setting and aesthetic. The game despite jaggies, still looks great and has a very distinct comfy style in Spira

I'm a simp for this game and genuinely think it's a top 3 of all time videogame and timeless work of art.

13 got shat on while 10 got a pass
you people were always delusional

I pretend to not like things that I actually like

Fucking faggot

They aren't the same.

WHOOPS. Better start over again. Better luck next time.

10 is the reason for 13 being the way it is

10 got a pass for being the first FF in the PS2, for having amazing graphics right at the start of the gen and because from a narrative stand point, the game being "linear" makes sense because of Yuna's pilgrimage. Also it's a fun game

FF7 was my fav game in my childhood and I enjoyed Remake and Rebirth too

This quest was literally designed to track GameShark sales across internet market data. You google this part and they got your data, just like the FFiX play online shit

Elaborate on how and back up your claims with evidence.

It's not our fault you're not white.

Still salty Waka got to breed Lulu and I didn't.

The hyper realistic artstyle is hideous too. I wish they sticked to an anime artstyle like Dragon Quest.

One thing I hope for is that nerds on the internet stop pretending that FF9 is even good, let alone the best FF. Whenever I'm watching a video and some tryhard starts gushing over FF9 I just click off. Aside from a good OST, the game is just worse in every way than what came before and after. I could make 's argument for 9.

shit story, characters

linear

minigame is just worse version of 8's

atrocious loading times

uninteresting combat

What do you want a medal for thinking you're the first person to pretend that 7 and 10 aren't the best in the series?

You're probably into some gay shit like Lost Odyssey too. There, I said it.

demake screenshots every time

grim

i wonder if Chappu managed to shag her, but even if she is sloppy seconds, it would be hard to turn her down

Rikku must feel so inferior next to her

Waka is based and a racist, so he deserves it.

original FFX is going to be lost media because of the HD remaster

I'm not 100% on this but Lulu might have been the first bare breasts I ever saw on the internet.

Remake when? So we get some Lulu doujin

that sucks so much, the only thing that remaster needed to do was to make the gmae use the high res models the entire time rather than fucking up everything else.

Beautiful music too

Blitzball is fun as shit and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.
Love that game.

this game was my sexual awakening when i was like 11 or something

fun as shit

Blitzball becomes okay-ish once your team aren't complete shitters compared to other teams.

Rikku actually remarks about Lulu's qualities without outright saying them while motioning with her arms over her chest in the game

This, it only becomes playable when you start hiring some of the better players. It was a mistake to have the one required match be with the shittiest team making it almost unwinnable and turning many off from the minigame instantly.

I like how the game is 50 hours story and 150 hours side content (mostly doing arena shit)

I feel bad for players who didnt recruit new blitzballers but stuck with Aurochs

Not a bad first sight methinks.

That's one way to play. I get satisfaction out of turning the starting Aurochs into a powerful team tho.

that nose

Yikes

that's during the Guadosalam cut scene with Rikku, no? if she has higher affection

You're thinking of the Macalania scene

Rikku: I’m sure Yunie’s okay. She’s breathing fine and all. How are Lulu and Wakka?

Tidus: Mmm…Well, Wakka’s in shock. Can’t blame him, either. And Lulu, well, she’s just the same as always.

Rikku: She’s so together. All grown up, I guess.

Tidus: I guess.

Rikku: Well, just give me five or six more years

With that last line she pats herself up and down, implying she's hoping her body fills out to Lulu's proportions

and she only needed 2 years, she got quite the growth spurt in X-2

Agreed

she looks like the blue aliens from Avatar

Blitzball sucked ass compared to Triple Triad

I disagree, the card games are boring. TT was alright, Tetra Master was ignominious.
Queen's blood is just too big for the already big game, for scripted matches. Too many effects, NPCs, challenge and text you don't want to read, but you have to because it's tied to platinum as well as in game completion (party exp).
I don't want to play marvel snap in rebirth.

Oh yeah? Name 10 similarities other than being a tall, blue, tribal felinoid biped.

Tetra Master leaned more towards gambling than a trading card game and was hard to understand. Which is fine. In Triple Triad it's too easy to get OP and destroy absolutely every opponent.

If you could decide whether you play for cards or not, it would completely fix tetra master. It's fun, it's just that losing cards isn't fun. In such an RNG heavy game it makes no sense.

Blitzball would be perfect if it were a tad shorter. 10 minutes is a huge fucking investment and a tournament has like 10 matches? 5 minutes would have been enough.

This also.
Spending like an hour for a hi-potion or something is beyond retarded.
I've cheesed blitzball at 4x the speed to get Wakkas ultimate and it still took too long.

X feels a bit too slow and straightforward to me nowadays. In X-2, I can bring whatever jobs I want to a battle, swap around, and handle different enemies in different ways. In X, 95% of the enemies feel like they're designed to be fought with a specific party member, which makes every battle feel like straightforward rock-paper-scissors outside of a few encounters like the Ochu or the Behemoth. It doesn't help that you need to grind out a million items to give your characters abilities on their gear, give your Aeons abilities, and up the Aeon stats.

The story is better than X-2's, but X-2 just feels like a more enjoyable game for me because it gets you right to the action immediately. X-2 even gives you No Encounters equipment fairly early on while X relegates it to optional post-game content despite wanting you to backtrack to grab shit all the time.

no visible counter to let you know how much lightning you dodged

checking your progress requires you to go to another screen, which resets your progress

saving also resets your progress

lightning can strike you immediately after a battle ends while you have no time to react

no encounters equipment is tucked out of the way

Who thought this trash was a good idea?

i just want a Yunie gf...

I started playing FFIX for the first time recently. This game is sovl incarnate. So many little details to appreciate.

Yuna is the worst girl.
She looks like a boomer Karen that grew up in an uptight family, then had a rebellious faze (FF X-II), and then became even more uptight.

people actually struggled with this

The lightning strikes are easy to manipulate. There are multiple spots where you can just run back and forth and it's guaranteed to trigger lightning at the same time every time and the timing window is extremely generous when you actually know it's coming instead of being on reaction.

That said it's fucking retarded design because it's boring and time-consuming and basically requires one of the rarest equipment stats and isn't fun and isn't actually testing your skill at anything. The chocobo courses made me want to punch birds and the butterfly courses made me want to punch birds but they were at least somewhat engaging minigames that I was gradually getting better at over time and when I succeeded it felt earned. Dodging lightning is just dull and time-consuming.

give your Aeons abilities, and up the Aeon stats.

Who the fuck even does that?

Most Final Fantasies are good even in spite of their flaws, but Anons on the internet just want to be contrarian and feel their favorite game is better than yours.

Someone with autism (me).

It is also the lore heaviest one. There is lore fucking everywhere. I'm a sucker when it comes to reading random shit. You can examine some random statue or some random item and the game describes to what war it relates to etc

FF IX had the potential to be the greatest FF of all time if the development wasn't so rushed.
Now watch the remake ruin everything.

So far the game doesn't feel rushed at all. But i've only just reached Lindblum so i'm still very early on.
But it really makes me wonder why people are clamoring for a remake so much. Besides the lengthy load times (which i'm sure later ports fixed) it's a very accessible and modern-feeling game. Plus all the little details and interactions just seem like things that would be on the chopping block for a remake.

Yeah first 2 discs are fine, but it's really starting to show disc 3 and onward.

Enjoy it while you can. It completely falls apart in disc 3 and becomes generic slop.

Square is fucking infamous for frontloading their games with spectacular kino and neglecting late game.

The pacing gets nowhere as bad as people make it out to be, but the latter sections of the game felt like they could have used a bit more time dedicated to them. Without spoiling anything I'd say it has a very satisfying ending, though.

But it really makes me wonder why people are clamoring for a remake so much

This wasn't really a thing at all until the nvidia leak happened a couple of years ago and it was listed on there. Since then people have been expecting it and rumors and hype has been growing over the years as it remains unannounced.

6 is ass. It's two saving graces are Decisive Battle and dancing mad.

Why did you pretend not to love it? Are you afraid of people online or something?

Showing dungeons in a cutscene and not make them playable was a scum move though. Don't cuck players like that!

What dungeons are shown in cutscenes that you don't explore?

games don't have good stories you cretin

probably the other elemental crystals that the crew takes out while Zidane and Quina deal with the Earth one

I was stuck on this guy for a month.

Bit of a stretch to even call them 'dungeons', but fair enough. It is a shame those other fights had to be cut.

Yes. That being said, dungeons are a weak point of 9. There are literally zero (!) optional ones. It wouldn't have hurt making some super-dungeon to play around in.

Oh yeah?
Name 5 pieces of media other than vidja with good stories then.
