The Final Fantasy franchise has taken a lot of slack lately. Some of it is unjustified, most of it is. Top 5 or 10 “best of” lists have been done to death, and glorify the series more than they should. Granted, there are some fantastic, if not ground-breaking, games in the franchise, but the majority of them – especially the ones of late – have been downright pitiful.
Square Enix will be releasing three new manga titles later this year, all of which are available for pre-order now.
You guessed it: you will need a lot of hours to beat every FF. But maybe not as many as you would think.
According to Howlongtobeat and this post, 489 hours, not including any spinsoffs, sequels or the two MMO's (FFXI and FFXIV).
That means, 1 to 16 + 7 Remake, excluding X-2, XIII-2, Lightning Returns, XI and XIV.
I"ve actually been running through all main games myself, but doing Platinum runs on each, including the sequels (Excluding XI and XIV).
I have played through them all countless times thou, and in remasters where I could speed up combat and exp gain, I've used it.
Took me around 1100 hours on fresh account, but now I'm exhausted and super ready for Rebirth.
At this stage good luck you're better off picking a entry point and sticking with that
Today Square Enix announced its financial results for the first nine months of the fiscal year, related to the period between April 2023 and December 2023.
im enjoying FF16. while there is a lot of talking, usually you can skip it. Looking forward to FF7R2!
Final Fantasy XIV, XIII, and XIII-2
Dirge of Cerberus for me. Way to turn such a classic and memorable RPG and turns its world and characters into generic, dull, shooter crap.
"Final Fantasy VIII"
...
...
Get out, no honestly I mean it I'm sick of people saying FF8 was a bad FF game. FF13 was a bad FF game, FF8 was in my opinion one of the best. Great music, great story, great main character development.
"Squall was hands down the worst protagonist of the series to that point"
Oh so I'm guessing all that great character development thats stretched over the 4 discs makes him the worst protagonist. The way they transform is character from a loney selfish jerk in the beginging to a brave heroic leader at the end is amazing. People, FF8 haters, only judge his character from the person we meet at the beginging of the game not the person the game transform him into by the end of the game, the end of Squalls journey.
"The experimental combat system had potential"
Don't bother mention the junction system, the excuses I hear for that are amazing. In one sentence people say it was too easy, but in the next I hear it was too complicated...I mean what is it then.
"But my real problem with VIII is that the characters were stereotyped into the same roles as they were in VII. It’s almost as if Square was intentionally trying to capitalize on the success of its predecessor by creating a very similar game."
lol...no they wern't. At least Squall had good reasons to why he was the selfish jerk he was in the beginging on the game, Cloud had none and yet he is never called an "emo". The reason why FF8 is so hated is because it wasn't a sequel to FF7, even though fans knew at the time that each FF game tells a differn't story.
The problem with FF8 is that people nitpicked it to death, if it had come before FF7 and was the first FF PS1 game then that would of been hailed as the "greatest" FF game ever.
The 10 Worst Final Fantasy"
Nothing can possibly be as bad as FF XIII. I swear that game was for 8 year old girls who like to play dress-up.
And here we are with this argument. Again.
