Rolling credits on Metaphor Refantazio. While I need time before being too reactionary, this may be my favorite Final Fantasy-like game not made by Square Enix. From the job system to the characters to the world building to it's very high quality, it really felt like playing a Final Fantasy game. I cannot recommend it enough. Especially for anyone longing for a modern Final Fantasy with classic style combat (though I am sure there is massive crossover between Final Fantasy and Atlus/Persona fans).

I am curious, what is your favorite Final Fantasy game not made by Square?

I can't even get past him doing his first zantet.

I check guides etc.. they sayy block, I block my ass off still every 4th hit he does zantet. Evade? Doesn't seem to matter his reach is too far so you get hit anyway.

Use poison, still he brings out Zantet. Hit him with AB gauge abilities while he's doing gjallerhorn warning, still zantet.

Revival Earrings only stop the inevitable for one round.

What the hell do you to delay or never have it ?

... how you keep helping the villain!

Recently I've been thinking about buying the bundle of FF7 Remake + Rebirth, and I've been looking online but I've seen people saying that you need to play the original first and that the remake is a sequel?? I'm so confused, the more I look in about this the more I get confused, can someone explain it to me?

This is truely a masterpiece For me its the best out of all the Pixel Remastered version

But if i have to choose on what to play again, I think it'll be FF5

Hello friends. I love the final fantasy community so far. They have been absolutely great.

Way back when, I played final fantasy 8 and that was my very first, favorite game. I remained a fan but for whatever reason, I never played any others. I always wanted to play 6, but it got ruthlessly spoiled for me so i never had the motivation to play it.

A few years back i started 14 and played about 200 hours of it and stopped because 1, I moved and got a new job, and 2, it was taking up A LOT of my time. Dont get me wrong, i was having a blast, but that was all I did when I wasn’t working. Haha.

Recently I just finished Final Fantasy 15. Absolutely loved it. Got me back into a Final Fantasy kick. I have now started playing Final Fantasy 12, but a part of me wants to go back in and complete some Of the content in 15. Do y’all play two final fantasy’s at once?

So yes, I played 15 and will now finish up 12. I plan to play either 13 next or the new Final Fantasy 7 series, and then once those 2 are complete, I’m going to move onto 16.

Anyways, just wanted to talk some final fantasy. Feel free to share whatever you’d like.

Since I got a Xbox series X last year, Ive been slowly collecting for it, mainly RPGs, one of them I picked up today was final Fantasy XV, the only final fantasy game that I really dislikes but want to give it a 2nd go with all the updates.

I've played the game once when it first came out in 2016 (Still can't believe this game is 8 years old). As final fantasy is my favourite franchise I was looking forward to XV but what I played was a incomplete game that I didn't enjoy. I hate how it required demos, movies, books, anime series, DLC and updates to give us a completed game plus Square milking this game was almost on par with VII.

However 8 years later, I want to give it another chance. I've done it with other games like XII, Chrono Cross, Halo, SMT 3. Games that I dislike years ago but now really enjoyed. I'm kinda looking forward to see what they've added and see if it's better then the day one version.

Btw I'm currently on final fantasy 3 for my final fantasy marathon.

No this is not a post about criticizing the design nature of Final Fantasy 13, but rather I wanted to understand that particular organization a bit better in the story to try to understand their backstory as I wanted to learn more about their purpose in the game because they are always chasing down the heroes.

Which is what I would like to understand regarding that last bit because even though I beat the game, I wanted to look back at the lore itself to see if I could better understand the villain’s motives since I found PSYCOMM to be kind of an interesting organization due to their hostility towards the main characters of the game.

I actually have a pc that runs FFXVI and I bought it there after waiting and now running out of space with just a few games on Steam. Now I'm waiting as well for Rebirth and it's a long agony. I could stand it just for Rebirth if it wasn't that I'm scared ffvii part 3 and kh4 would be on ps5 as well as exclusives. I will still make use of it playing games like HSR and want to buy Baldur's gate 3 too or Hogwarts Legacy. But i can buy a side 1 tb max ssd and have enough space for all of these on my pc too... I don't really trust SE saying they want to go multiplatform... Also I have a ps4 pro and still have some space, reason why I waited all this time to even think about buying a ps5.

I know there are a lot of questions like this but please be kind I'm looking for suggestions. Thank you kindly.

I'm an old hand, been playing since 1990 on NES. Played Exvius and with Global shut down for Exvius was wondering how the franchise is doing. I did a quick look and my impression is kind of a low ebb. 16 and 7 Rebirth seemed to underperform, Dawntrail reception seemed very mixed, gachas shutting down.

Am I right? Or am I missing something? Aside from finishing the 7 remakes anything on the horizon?

My girlfriend found her PS2 at her mom’s place. I immediately ordered Final Fantasy Tactics from eBay. Any other gems from the PS1/PS2 era that are stuck on those consoles? I know FF7-12 would be from that time frame but they are all available on modern consoles.

I have 255 Strength, Lionheart, and Squall is level 100. The highest hitting damage without using Renzokuken is about 3,800 to 7kish. Zell and Selfie with their stuff together were hitting 9999 before level 100.

I am not using any elemental damage effects. Not really sure what I should for attack other than Drain for status effect. Just not seeing high numbers.

I was also seeing pretty low numbers with Quistis with Shockwave Pulsar. Is her Blue Magic based on Magic for it’s damage? If so I have used Mag Ups so she can have 255 with junctions. Highest number I have seen is similar to Squall, 4-7k, but she isn’t level 100 yet. She is 42.

Am I missing something substantial? Please advise & Thank you.

I seriously don't know how you can remaster a 20+ year old game and make it look worse. They just re used the dissidia models for Squall and Rinoa and their faces look so stupid. Squall's hair especially drives me nuts. The resolution of the characters severely clash with the giga blurry background because they didn't want to upscale them. Also this is more of a detail but when you leave an area the screen fades way too fast compared to the original which breaks the immersion.

I don't understand how this company can do something so infinitely lazy for a remaster of such a beloved game. VIII is my favorite game and as of today I'm still playing the original version on Ps Vita and it looks 10 times better than whatever they did.

Mine was definitely Yuna and tidus farewell in FFX…

Assuming you have influence and can decide who owns it going forward, where do you hope it lands and why?

I played my first FF game (FFX) about 2 years ago and have recently decided to marathon the mainline FF games which I have enjoyed for the most part. The one I've enjoyed the most so far is FFIII and it's not even close. Coming from that game, I immediately started playing FFIV (the 3d version for mobile) which is actually one of the games I was looking forward to the most because I got the impression that it's a fan favorite of the series. Unfortunately, after playing through a good chunk of the game(I think I'm near the end now currently at the dr lugae boss fight in tower of babil), I've been pretty disappointed. My main gripe is with the combat, the mob fights are boring and feel like a chore while the pace of the boss fights feels suffocating. I find myself doing the same thing every boss fight, I rush to slow the boss and cast protect on my team before having to perma heal my team with 1 or 2 of my allies to stay alive and attack when I get the chance to. It feels like I never get the chance to experiment and try new stuff out since I'm always just trying to survive. After looking at stuff people say I also discovered that I'm not under-leveled which is what I thought the problem was at first. This is another problem with the combat I have, unless I'm missing something, the only thing you can do to strengthen your team is to just level, gear upgrades seem to be few and far between and you can't change your character's jobs or anything like that. It feels like there's no creativity in gearing and team building which is the part that made me love FFIII so much, where you can dual-wield weapons or even shields and change your units' jobs at any time without restrictions to try out different compositions and strategies. If things are the way I described them and I'm not just missing something about the game, I think I'll drop this game, it might just not be for me and that's ok, I'm excited to play the next installment of the series!

Am I missing something? Is it just a skill issue? I've heard some things about the 3d version being not as beloved, does the pixel remaster address my concerns and make it worth trying out?
