Is there one of these for the spin-off/sequel games, as well?

Which spin-offs?

Final Fantasy Mystic Quest - SNES
Final Fantasy Tactics - PS1
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles - Gamecube

Nothing else is worth your time.

I'll try to look, but I don't see one. Though Spark's post is right.

Looking at that list, I am reminded that it's a shame how IV didn't get a proper American release on the SNES, being that it decreased the difficulty so drastically to the point of being kind of silly. I guess that's still better treatment than what V got, though.

But Mystic Quest is awful and Crisis Core is amazing. Type-0 looks fantastic too, and I've heard good things about the Tactics sequel. We can't write off all the spin-offs just like that!

Anyway about every one of those spin-offs is only available on one system. Not much to sort through.

You didn't mind Mystic Quest, Spark?

The music is one of the best soundtracks in the series. Gameply-wise, meh. It's a beginner's RPG and for that it's fine.

I just watched Gamexplain's Game & Watch of the FFXV demo and I have to say. I'm impressed.

The characters are the least annoying in a mainline game since IX (and before that, VI), the direction is really good and actually feels like Final Fantasy instead of the goofy crap they put out last gen, and the art style feels more like VII (which is the only modern-style art that still feels something like the old stuff) instead of everything after IX which has never felt anything like the classic stuff to me.

The battle system is excellent like most Final Fantasy games are. Only this looks truly next gen, something I've been hoping to see since the move to the PS2 but never got.

Can we just call it Final Fantasy X and pretend the mainline games after IX never happened?

As someone who's actually played the demo, it's wonderful. I'm very hyped for the game now, and the old story trailers are making me more excited than they ever did before. Type-0 is really good too.

I wish Spark would post links.

How's that? It's about an hour long, though.

Game looks surprisingly great. First mainline Final Fantasy I've actually been interested in playing in a long time.

Sheesh, be careful what you wish for, indeed. I'm going to have to watch that during dinner.

Hopefully this is also the first ~~mainline~~ Final Fantasy I am interested in awhile. And this is coming from a guy who thought X and Advent Children was alright. Underwhelming, though.

By the way, was I the only one who didn't like the Junction system in VIII?

gunswordfist · March 30, 2015, 06:37:50 PM

No, I'm sure I am the only one that likes it.

talonmalon333 · March 31, 2015, 04:16:08 PM

I bring it up because I think it was one of the main off-putting parts of FFVIII. I honestly never beat that game.
