I’ve played almost every one. Not all to completion, though.
Here is my list:
Final Fantasy
Final Fantasy 2 (j)
Final Fantasy 3 (j)
Final Fantasy 4
Final Fantasy 5
Final Fantasy 6
Final Fantasy 7
Final Fantasy 8
Final Fantasy 9
Final Fantasy 10
Final Fantasy 10-2
Final Fantasy 11
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest
Final Fantasy Tactics
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
I haven’t played Crystal Chronicles or Final Fantasy 12 (is it out yet?), but I believe I’ve played all of the rest of them. In case it isn’t already obvious because of my avatar, 6 is my favorite.
Wow, it seems as if we have some real final fantasy addicts here, don’t we? All of you make me want to try out some of the older games, which I doubt will ever happen in the first place. I’ve only played FFX-2, (and am currently playing that )but I’ve really enjoyed that game. As of now, I’m currenly on my quest to get 100%; a difficult task, but one which I can manage now that I’ve found a good guide.
You two make me want to see that. /me wonders what the red thing in the background is.
I read in my OPM that square enix is making another compilation package liek they did with ff 7. For ff7, they made 4 games and extras total, these were: FF7
FF7 Advent Children
FF7 Dirge of Cerberus
FF7 Crisis Core for PSP
Now for FF 13 they are also making a compilation including:
Final Fantasy 13
Final Fantasy Versus 13
(both for PS3)
and Final Fantasy Agito 13(For cell phones)
and possibly more. Should be pretty interesting.
Am I the only one who was kind of, not disappointed, but I don’t know, affected by the changes made to the Final Fantasy series when FFVII was released? The old FFs were more your typical RPG and then when seven came out it seemed too “futuristic” I guess, I don’t know what other word to use. I still liked it and I’ve played most of the FFs since the first one (actually the last FF games I played 2 years ago were X-2 and Crystal Chronicles, I’ve been focusing on other series since then, like the Tales of… games; I never got FFXI because it cost too much and I don’t play games on my PC).
I’m also a huge fan of a long game (short games are such a rip-off), but some games are so long, like the FF series in recent years, that I find myself getting lazy and not finishing them. Games that I always finish to the end are Zelda games but I guess I’d have to start a Zelda thread to talk about that topic.
I also was not a fan of Blitzball in X and X-2, but I’m not a big sports fan IRL either. Did anyone else dislike Blitzball?
Oh yeah, I also didn’t like Final Fantasy Tactics; I was clueless to the fact that it was a tactical game when I bought it and I found it so boring, I’ll never make the mistake of buying another tactical game like that again!
I’m guessing most FF players (of the male persuasion in particular ) probably did like Blitzball, Cid. What about you, Moogle? Please say I’m not the only female FF fan that didn’t like Blitzball! I’m guessing there aren’t as many female RPG gamers as males in general…
I also didn’t like watching them play Quidditch in the Harry Potter movies - I bring it up because Blitzball and Quidditch kind of remind me of one another (besides the obvious difference that one game is played underwater and the other is played in the air).
Don’t worry, Cynster! I’m not much of a Blitzball fan, myself. Then again, I’m also not exactly a hard core Square Enix player, either. (At least compared to most of the other people in this thread). The only game I’ve played is FFX-2. I didn’t even play FFX for Pete’s sake!
I really detested it and it was so annoying that if you didnt play you couldn’t get Wakka’s celestrial weapon! if I wanted a sports game I would have bought one
On the other hand I loved the card games in final fantasy VIII and IX … of the two i preferred the card game from VIII since you could transform the cards into good stuff.
I was also quite partial to the chocobo racing/breeding in VII
Since this thread now includes other Square games, (sorry, I haven’t read all 8 pages of the thread, hope I’m not repeating something here), did anyone else play Sword of Mana on Game Boy Advance and find it seriously lacking? I loved the original game Secret of Mana on the SuperNES and I also played and I’m pretty sure I enjoyed* Legend of Mana on PS2 (*it was a while ago), but Sword of Mana was just a big disappointment, it didn’t have the look or feel of the other Mana games (and I’ve been pronouncing it MAN-A all these years and I think it’s supposed to be MON-A), and the story kind of stunk.
I’m really looking forward to Children of Mana for the Nintendo DS (have to buy the DS first but that’ll be no problem with the new Zelda game coming out on DS this fall ); I hope it resembles the original game a bit more. Any other Mana fans out there?
I didn’t like Blitzball because it’s purely based on numbers, skill counts almost nothing. But I recruited the best players and destroyed the other teams.
Card games ruined Final Fantasies for me because I’m a perfectionist, and many cards are lost forever AND hard to get. In IX there’s only the Namingway card that can be missed, but it was enought to make me restart from scratch. In VIII, I don’t even want to talk about it. The Random Cards rule ruined 99% of the games with unique and missable cards.
I’ve only played FFX-2, (and am currently playing that 
)but I’ve really enjoyed that game. As of now, I’m currenly on my quest to get 100%; a difficult task, but one which I can manage now that I’ve found a good guide.
