Final Fantasy General Discussion Thread

I thought FF8 was one of the worst FFs, I just hated the changes made to the battle system. Not played 9 yet so I dont know how that one is.

I agree with you to a point about the battle system. I thought having to draw magic sucked big time. FF 9 sort of went back to its roots, you should give it a try

This another great entry. Although this is my least fav of the PS1 series, it is far from bad. I didn't mind drawing for magic. It just added a different strategy on whether you wanted to stock up and risk death. And I loved the card game! This and blitzball are my favorite side games from the series!

I could not get in to Final Fantasy VIII. I think for me it was because I was just too attached to the characters from VII. It just didn't feel right to me playing VIII. Plus everything changed. The materia system changed. And I hated those stupid ass cards you had to collect. I still can't play that damn card game!!!

It certainly has a very appealing theme. Characters are diverse and great(Especially, Laguna!). A few things I didn't like was the Draw system and everything past Disk 3.

It's good, I just don't understand the people who say it is their favorite one.

I'm playing through it right now actually, and yeah its quite underrated I don't see the problem with it really, I just don't think its up there with V-VII.

It's my favorite next to IX. Mother fucking ace if you ask me. Loved the card game, loved the draw system, the join system, guardian forces, the whole high school vibe...damn bro, those were the days...

Agree with almost everything, just the draw system could get a bit monotonous in my opinion but yeah what a game!

lol Well you missed out

Did i miss out on a secret weapon or something? lol

No, just loads of fun lol

Edit: Or maybe. I think you could trade them in for things lol

Ah..Gotcha next playthough I'll give it another shot and try to play it lol. :)

lol I know. I'm gonna play that next after I finish VII. I just finished gathering all the huge materias. Was gonna try to master as much of as I could. But I think I just wanna play thru them all first lol I got VI - IX

Nice gotta play VII again too i beat it awhile back but i lost the save file because my ps3 corrupted by my lil sister..she shut the system when it was saving lol i was so pissed. I only got VII and VIII but i still got IX in disc form probably play that last.

I felt Squall was a very relatable character, I liked the dark and sometimes gothic theme, and I liked the battle music.

I didn't like the monotonous draw system, the enemies leveling up as you do (which makes leveling up a bad thing), and the directionless story.

Overall, I didn't really enjoy myself when playing FFVIII.

lol damn that sucks

You know I never knew, until yesterday when i was watching a let's play Final Fantasy VIII, that the enemies levelled as you do! Ha

I enjoyed the story though, got a little soppy and weak from disk 3 onwards but the first two disks i thought the story, and in particular Squall was interesting and fresh

I just felt the story was too ad-hoc for the most part. It mostly consisted of a short-term goal after short-term goal, while any semblance of an overall direction was convoluted.
