Best Final Fantasy to Date?

[samsaBEAR]

noob4lyfe you use Aura for str because it's easier to get hold of (I never bothered getting Ultimas because it takes too long and magic is pretty crap for damage late in the game anyway) then Full-life on HP, Meltdown on vit, Hastega on spd... actually I might be talking crap I haven't played in ages, brb looking for my discs

Well 99 Regen always gave me 9999 life, but I think you're right about Aura. I'd love to play it but my second disc is broken, I can't get past the bit where Galbadia invades Balamb and you have to beat up the jetpack guy

The one thing I hated in FF8 was that the monster levelled with you, so there was no point in levelling.

My favourite has to be VII and X

The "monsters" that you had to fight in order to progress with the story had this to a much lower degree, so it wouldn't have been possible to win without levelling up as they'd still far outpower you despite the game trying to balance things out a bit. When I first played I hardly trained at all because it was my first FF and I didn't realise I'd have to train to the magnitude that's recommended, so I was only level 40 or something on my main character when I got to Adel on disc 4 and had no chance whatsoever. Would have trained up and tried again but the area you start in on disc 4 only lets you get 1xp per fight lol.

I bought a new set of discs a couple years back because my game where I'd levelled everyone massively with like str-bonus hp-bonus kept crashing when I went into battle, then found out it was just the save file had somehow corrupted had such gay names for everything/one haha bless my 10 year old self

I own every game on disc, on PS1 except for III which I have on DS
I enjoyed VI a lot because I thought it had the best storyline to date, I loved the 16-bit era, Uematsu composed a masterpiece score and the graphics were amazing for the time. The gameplay is fun. I hate VIII though as the draw system annoys me.

Only played 13 so I guess 13
might by one on the psn because theyre supposedly amazing.

I got to Adel and didn't realise that if she killed one of your main party, one of the other three came in. So I had level 99 Squall, Zell and Rinoa, all junctioned up to be awesome with their final weapons, get taken down and replaced with like a level 20 Irvine. Not good.

In ways I prefer the older games before VII, the graphics weren't as good but they still played out as epic storylines. I like VI, but my favourite has to be the one with the guy who's a Dark Knight but becomes a good one, Cedric maybe? Idk which game it is

[FlyingJesus]

Isn't that only for Ultimecia that you get characters come through when one dies? Adel's the one who falls from the moon (as you do) and looks like a man. Either way you should have levelled up Irvine, he's far more useful than Rinoa never bothered much with the girls other than Quistis for training with her Degenerate limit break

[samsaBEAR]

Oh wait yeah you're right, I can't remember much of Adel and Disc 3, isn't that where Rinoa gets her next to useless Angel Wings thing. I prefer her dog limit break. Yeah, my current Irvine is better, but I've always preferred Squall, Rinoa and Zell together over anyone else
