Final Fantasy: What Went Wrong

So just to recap, here is where Final Fantasy went wrong:

Minor problems: Class customization which made final fantasy 3 awesome was removed from Final Fantasy 4 (aka 2), Final Fantasy 8's awful magic system, the awful monkey-boy Zidane in Final Fantasy 9, the fashion in Final Fantasy 10.

Major problems: The fighting system in Final Fantasy 12

Sounds like you were really bad at FF8.

[KirkAyask]

FF8 was awesome. Never really used the "draw" fonction, since you can simply convert items into magics in a second.

Sorry...you got a thumbs down from me. You had me until after FFVIII. You skipped FF9, the best in the series because.....well you didn't really give a reason. Then you move onto FF10, also one of the best in the series, and talk about how you're not into the fasion. You didn't mention the epic storyline, gameplay, graphics, etc. THEN....you go onto XII, and can't get enough video time bashing it. If you don't like XII, that's fine, but don't lie. You lied about SO many things in that game!

[SharpWanker]

I gotta say you don't know anything about the FF franchise and you either want the company to stay stagnant and die or evolve overnight. FF* there are tons of ways to create and upgrade magic Ifrit will allow you make fire, shiva ice, and so on junctiong is a clever tool to boost your stats as the characters at their base are weak. But that speaks to the story the dependance on GF and the long term memory effects. Now with FF12 you have simply admitted you dont want to go in depth with gambits.

... i liked 12...

[ZanderDF]

ive played 12 and i thought it was incredible,. huge open environments, intresting places to explore, long adventure, good story that puts emphasis on lore and the world of ivalice, which had unique style that combined fantasy+furturistic+medieval+s­orta-ish aztec together. i thought it was better than 7(fanboyz hate on me now). alot of people disgree wit me on this one. but 7 bored the hell out of me and the charecter models look worse than they did on SNES XD

FF VI is the peak of the series, they've never gotten as good as that.

[andoc]

@spennysee I disagree with you. Best one was VI, worst was XIII.

[MakeusL00kB4D]

@TheTaskmaster its cool, Leonheart is Squalls ultimate weapon, i dont really remember how to get it its been to long. i think its Pulse Ammo, Screws, and somthing else. its a fun game too, mindraped me, alot

[guilhermewolfman]

I have to say that you did much of a great mistake by saying that XII battle system sucked, I mean, c´mon! that system put evrything FF ever was in one active constant style!

you complain about wait for a action or control the party at the same time, so there´s a new: GAMBITS, they´re used to program your caracther actions during battle, and in opitions you can put in active mode, turn off or not the gambits and battle constantly choosing actions whitout stop! stop hating n do fair judgement.

[spennysee]

Nothing went wrong its still good.

[TheTaskmaster]

@MakeusL00kB4D sorry for the assumption -- everyone does these days except me it feels like. i only look at one or two sentences to know what to do if i haven't played in a week or something.

i'm on disc 3 for the first time . . don't know what Leonheart is. A GF?
