Final Fantasy is dead to me and Persona sits on its grave

It has been a contrasting decade for both Final Fantasy and Persona. While Final Fantasy has lost its charm and pull thanks to the XIII saga and XV, Persona has simply gotten bigger, better, and more popular.

The games are way too different objectively for such a statement. Ones a adventure RPG series. The others a life sim/Dungeon crawler RPG. While persona is better imo as of the current releases, if something sat on its grave it needs to be an adventure styled RPG. Persona should only be matched in this case with games alike. Trails of cold steel, Tokyo xanadu, caligua effect overdose and such

Both jrpgs still... Final Fantasy died in my eyes the day I played FF13.... Not even one likable character in that series... Well, okay maybe Fang is alright...

Teflon021806d ago

Both JRPG's. But adventure game isn't the same as a Day to day simulator/Dungeon Crawler. They're objectively pulling different crowds. It's like saying Kart racers and driving simulators. They're both Driving games. They both drive but are objectively different types of games. The comments kinda show exactly what I mean. I say this because I started on Golden with no interest in the series outside Vita at the time having no traditional styled adventure rpgs. I said fine I have to play a dungeon crawler. Game didn't fill that gap for me as it was a different type of RPG. But it was definitely better than any adventure RPG I've played. Bet you'd really compare action rpgs like Nier Automata & Horizon Zero Dawn with Persona 5 then? They're all RPGs. That's my point. Not whether you enjoy one series over the other.

chris2351806d ago

personally, i am going to still try new final fantasy games. while i will not play another persona game. so...

Soybetaboy1806d ago

Never played any Persona game just not my style and most likely won't. FF 4444 life

Pennywise1381806d ago

I’ve been wondering if the success of Persona 5 will have an affect on what Final Fantasy 16 will eventually look like. But I’m just in my own corner hoping the next FF is a return to its roots in high fantasy with turn based combat and the ability to summon all the classics.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5214d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212114d ago (Edited 14d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5214d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5214d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani14d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum15d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman15d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim14d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

I disagree Batman

Rise of the ronin sold twice as much as Dragons Dogma 2 this week...but no articles about that. It's only news if a PS exclusive is being outsold.
