I mean, IV was alright I guess? I finished it at least.
And how rude to say no other RPG could be fun just because you are not into FF o.o Ok, yer saying that, sorry^^
I never really got into em, I wanted to try IX maybe sometime again, but .. they never really caught my interest?
Yes, the production values are incredibly high - I just don't really care about them alone. I want something with heart. And they just never really got that for me, as much as I could see the appeal for others, as strange as that may sound. I remember playing FF X and wondering when the game was gonna really start only to then realize I was already half-way through. XII was neat too, but I just .. couldn't feel it? The graphics were top notch, free exploration, details, full orchestra soundtrack, and .. it just all felt kinda empty. It's a strange feeling.
Niche ones got me better. May sound strange, and it was to me too, but yeah. It just didn't catch me.


I can definitely relate to being more invested in "heart," or emotional content, rather than production values. I generally favor a performance approach to video games rather than a technician approach. Technical refinement always improves a work, but no amount of polish or lack of technical flaws can substitute for depth and emotional content.

But I feel like the Final Fantasy series at least used to have that quality to it. Not so much anymore, although I think the decline was a gradual process where it's hard to point out a specific point at which it lost its "heart." But at least, I don't think production values are inconsistent with an emotionally powerful work.
Yeah I mean, jrpg is itself just an umbrella genre. I can understand why someone would like one series and not another. Everything from genre to gameplay mechanics to tone or setting can be vastly different, and matters of taste.

I grew up with Final Fantasy 4. It'll always be my favorite and Cecil is still way cooler than any other FF main character. And I still like its story line the best.

That said I think FF 10 had my favorite battle system and FF V had that awesome job system which Tactics improved on. And when it comes to atmosphere its tough to beat FF 12.
Soo after a lot of playing and stuff, I think I'm gonna add IV and XIII to my favorites list as well. IV's story is great, and I love the moment when Cecil becomes a paladin. And XIII may have started off annoying as hell, but I'm actually starting to grow quite fond of the cast in XIII, Snow even got better in my opinion. And the story while is a bit out there and complicated, I actually find pretty good. The battle system is also a ton of fun.

My only problem with XIII though is that I'm stuck at the first Barthandelus fight, it feels like that battle just ends whenever it wants to and its a pretty extreme difficulty spike. Its really pissing me off. Anyone care to give me a few tips for that fight, besides grinding?
It's been ages so I don't remember specifics except one thing: He has a charge attack where he doesn't do much then shoots a giant laser that just fucks shit up. iirc the way to deal with it isn't to turtle and heal up but to keep hitting him and it'll magically deal a lot less damage. Also summons also give a full party restore which was more valuable than the damage they did: Keep a summon on hand until you need it to get back on your feet.
VIII for me. I think it's the only one which I can play, how many times, and it never has a part where it starts to feel tedious.
