Keyrock Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 It was pretty polarizing when it came out because it was pretty different from earlier FF titles.

Keyrock Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Final Fantasy 3 was released outside Japan? Yep, it was the last one to finally make it state side.

Lexx Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Actually, I think that's the only FF game I've ever actually played through from beginning to end. I managed 4 of 5 cds, then I stopped because it felt like everything is repeating all the time. Everytime I switched to the next cd, some other guy from my party was lying in bed, being wounded and stuff. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

Hurlshort Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 The problem is the numbers in Final Fantasy vary depending on the country. I'm pretty sure FFIV is something different in Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyrock Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) The problem is the numbers in Final Fantasy vary depending on the country. I'm pretty sure FFIV is something different in Japan. FF IV is FF IV in Japan, there was no FF IV outside of Japan originally. FF II and FF III were originally only released in Japan. FF IV was released outside of Japan as FF II to "avoid confusion". FF V was then also initially only released in Japan. FF VI became FF III outside of Japan, again to "avoid confusion". By the time FF VII was released this thing called the internet started becoming widespread and it became clear that some people outside of Japan were aware of the games that had not been released outside of Japan and that Square had actually created a heck of a lot more confusion by trying to avoid confusion and renumbering the games, thus FF VII was simply released as FF VII everywhere (like they should have done with the earlier games to begin with). Eventually the games not released outside of Japan were released everywhere and the original Japanese and correct numbering was used turning western FF II back into FF IV and western FF III back into FF VI, like it should have been in the first place. The correct numbering system has been used ever since, it's the numbering system I use and the one I assume everybody else is using. Phew, I hope that made some sense.

Enoch Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 i love this game! (the game of naming your favorite FF titles...) Let's see... I played at least some of both 1&2 when they were released in a single GBA cartridge. I liked the first one better, as the second one had some rather tedious learn-by-doing mechanics. There was a FF game I played a little bit on my neighbor's SNES in the early '90s, but I have no idea what number it is and don't really remember it much. I started reading a "let's play" of FF7 once, but I Nope'd the heck out of there pretty quickly. Feh. There's just something wrong with a game with the word "final" in its title having a dozen-plus sequels. I'm having a chronic Civ restart cycle. Start a game of Civ5; play for about 20 turns; decide that this isn't setting up as precisely the flavor of Civ game I feel like playing; go back to the main menu and change something miniscule in the settings; repeat until bedtime.

Labadal Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 FFVI, FFIX, FFXII and FFT are the best. I've played an absurd amount of FF related games. FFI-X, FFXII-XIV FFVII:CC, FFX-2, FFXIII-2, FFXII:RW FFT, FFTA, FFTA2 FF Type-0 FFMQ FFATB (I don't know if I should call this a game.) That's 23 games. Don't know if I forgot one.

Calax Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Feh. There's just something wrong with a game with the word "final" in its title having a dozen-plus sequels. Fun fact, the reason it's titled that way was because Squaresoft was about to go under when they released FF1, so they titled it that way as their sort of "this is our last fantasy we will probably be allowed to show you" then it became MASSIVE. Waiting for the FFX and X-2 HD remakes that are getting worked over... I bet they'll do VII soon after. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

Gromnir Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 i love this game! (the game of naming your favorite FF titles...) I'm having a chronic Civ restart cycle. Start a game of Civ5; play for about 20 turns; decide that this isn't setting up as precisely the flavor of Civ game I feel like playing; go back to the main menu and change something miniscule in the settings; repeat until bedtime. am having just that issue with the new xcom game. am thoroughly enjoying the combat, but the "strategy" aspects has resulted in us virtual restarting the games a half dozen times. got 7 missions deep and realized that our soldier roster gots six heavies and only 1 assault, 1 sniper and 1 support. *grumble* have had similar issues with satellite production and being too slow on alien containment and resource management and whatever. am a big fan o' squad-based tactical combat with rpg elements, but the strategy features never fail to push our ocd button.

Humanoid Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) Just finished my C/I XCOM game and yeah, basically the strategic aspects of the game were gradually overtaking the parts I play the game for. XCOM is a very binary game in terms of its outcomes, and while that suits the combat layer just fine, as it does in chess, I think it's a bit heavy handed when the matter of a one hour delay in some event occurring can make or break your game. In a case of the game getting in the way of the game, it went as it always does. Give me more random map abduction missions and less of, well, less of everything else, frankly. That said, if I had all those heavies in the early game, I'd have the biggest silly grin on my face ....then proceed to rocket EVERYTHING. Would be the perfect Impossible team early game, but again, while I reckon I could handle the combat of I/I reasonably, from what I've seen the economic management aspect looks blatantly unfun. I'm done with the game for now. Might go back in the future and try a training roulette game and some other interesting second wave options (not many are), but I'm hungry for a more fundamental change in the game's structure. Final score breakdown was pretty typical and close to the averages presented. 293 days, 61 missions won, 0 missions lost, 781 kills, 3 losses. Inflated somewhat by leaving my home continent uncovered so that abductions would keep happening, and leaving Exalt up until just before the Temple Ship. P.S. Temple ship is just as big a letdown as ever. The new alien types don't even show up, and even when I screwed up badly and took my situational specialist snapshot sniper instead of the mainstay squadsight one, the game didn't come near to punishing me for it. Ah well, Merry Christmas aliens - I'd planned on leaving you alive until the new year while I optimised my squad with genemods and psionics and whatnot but ended up not bothering. Final squad only had the volunteer with any psi capability worth mentioning, and probably a half dozen individual genemods between the whole squad. Eh. P.P.S. I've kind of changed my mind about Exalt lately. Initially they bothered me because they're basically nothing but a firepower test of fending off wave after wave of reinforcements, DA2-style. But by the end, I saw them as an opportunity to blow off some steam and try crazy things given their relative ease.
