Rebranding for all things Final Fantasy

That’s my issue with FFIX, I sorta just want to play Tetra Master haha
Also my issue with FF /JRPG games these days. They’re so long and I eventually start playing and getting into something else to the point that I think “oh yah, I’m halfway through a Final Fantasy game”. Though I say that and then sink an FF game’s worth of time into Red Dead Redemption 2 or Ghost of Tsushima.

Update: still haven’t found where I left off on FFIX. Went into Oelvert to discover nothing to do, then went to the Desert Palace to find it was no longer functional. Now I gotta continue tracing my steps from there, but didn’t have the patience last night.

Haha I was honestly thinking about it, and know I will again someday, but I finally found where I was: Ipsen’s Castle. I knew I was close.

Now I’m just worried because I’m not used to the party the way I was when I was actively playing and hope I’m not wildly under leveled for this place haha

Have you played other FF games? Regardless, what makes IX great?

IX came along when many old school fans were upset with the direction of the series. VII is a huge departure from the simple “medieval” type themes of early games- and VIII was deemed a travesty by many, including myself. Lots of folks loved the return to simpler roots in IX when it released. I think it picked up many new fans too because lots of younger gamers call it the best when they know in their hearts 3(6) is by far the greatest.

It’s ok. My problem with it the midgard intro area and the fact that the series left Nintendo and pixel look. The game is decent, story ok, characters are some of the most iconic in series.

I think IX is my favorite because it’s the first I ever played back in the day… but it is a lot better than most others too, imo. I’ve still only ever just started VI though, maybe I’ll give it a go after IX.
So in like 14 years or so.

I've played all, IX is definitely one of my favorites, without question. The characters, story, atomsohere, exploration... It was the last great FFX.

Y’all. FF XII and XIV are legendary. Wtf.
XII was good, not legendary. XIV I had to bail on due to addiction to MMO's. If I have any one single gaming regret, it's not getting into FFXIV when they rebuilt it. I loved it prior A Realm Reborn but I've learned I can't handle MMO's.
I did restart XII when it was re-released on Switch, didn't finish the second play through. Would love to, but ya know... Time.

Well… I think XII is the only acceptable one after IX. (XV is backlogged with no decision made, and given most of the later games, prolly will be for quite a while. I don't know if I'll get XVI even after it goes sub-$20.) But… XIV? Doesn't exist. Kinda like how the one I expected to be numbered XI is called X-2 instead? Maybe something in that clusterf… that is XIII should have been XIV?

I very, very much dislike XV. I only ever just started XII way back when it first released with my old gf, but we were thrown off by the new combat system and never got past the first like… 5 minutes. I should give that one a go sometime soon too, now that I’m more used to real time battles. Nothing will ever beat turn based imo, but ah well.
Anyone here ever play Crystal Chronicles? I tried to back in the Gamecube’s heyday but never had pals who both had GBAs & were into FF, so I could never play multiplayer (which was the whole point). Anyone try it out on Switch? Willing to pick it up sometime soon if anyone ever wants to party up & give it a go.

XII has some of the best end game content in the series. Really awesome battle system / customization of party actions.
