Been playing FFVII for the first time seriously. I'm enjoying it; it usually takes a lot for an RPG to sustain my attention and, so far, it's doing its job. Of course, this being 2014, I know most of the plot details -- but there's nothing wrong with being taken along for the ride.
Cloud is a much more dynamic character than all the spin-offs and fans would have you believe. Especially Advent Children. Screw that movie.
Yeah this is a case of a good game where you should avoid all spin off media. Even the FFVII spin off games were pretty bad.
I don't worship FFVII the way most gamers may age seem to(FFVIII was my first game so I seem to be the only person who likes it better then FFVII,I know I am a freak but I like the junction and draw system)but even I can see that the movie and the spin off games are nowhere near as good as the game they spun off from.
Open question for everyone here,what is your favorite FF game?
For me it's a tie between FFVIII and FFIX.
FFVIII was my first FF game and the first RPG I played all the way to the end(I gained 40 pounds spending six months exploring every inch of this game staying inside instead of riding my bike every day like I used to)and it holds a special place in my heart and I seem to be one of the few people who likes the characters in this game and didn't mind the plot twists. In my mind all the FF games even seven have somewhat silly stories and plot twists so that is part of the charm for me.
FFIX is to ne the perfect FF game. I know it is silly but to me everything works. The graphics are stylized in such away that to me they still look good,The characters and world are really fun,and the gameplay is just perfect for a turn based RPG. It's easy to play and everything is set up in a logical fashion so you never feel lost and you are always having fun but it is hard to master and unlike some other games every time I die I don't feel like the game cheated,I feel like I just need to think about what I did and fight smarter next time and I no point was a tempted to give up on the game. In short from start to finish I had a blast with FFIX and it is one of those games that I keep coming back to again and again.
How about you,what is your favorite FF game?
