Can we have a thread that ISNT a suggestion?

[TearValerin]

I think SE mainly made these forums for suggestions to FFXI or any feedback to the game whether it be negative or positive so that they know which direction to take for the game. There is a suggestion area though on another section of the board but I think that is meant to be suggestions for this forum but some use it for suggestions for FFXI.

General conversation could also be good too, but the problem with topics like: favourite FF game, villain, hero, music, etc. is that it's way way too common. Throughout many years I'm explored FF forums I must've seen a million of topics like those, so I actually enjoy reading ideas people have towards FFXI because some of those ideas I had before too but might've forgotten or there might be a new idea I never thought of so it's interesting to see what input people have.

Since this topic starts with two original ideas though and I already answered the first idea I will follow with the second question here. FFXI is the game I have played through the most and have spent the longest amount of time on, but FFX for some reason is my all time favourite FF game right now. I enjoy the storyline, the voice-over's first appearance in FF, and the characters. FFXII is one of my least favourite FF games. That game felt more like star wars in my opinion than a FF game.

Well, it is kind of hard to invoke an original discussion when nearly every facet of a game has been explored ritualistically. I went for the shallow route to spark even the slightest deviation away from the repeat Abyssea and suggestion threads, as there could be a nice room for discussion here in 'General Discussion.'

FF8 was the first one I played, and I loved it.. Even convinced me to buy 7 and 9. But I find that the story in 8 was really interesting and kept me hooked. But 7 was the same so I'm not really sure I could pick between them, plus the materia system was amazing and so easy to use. Plus 7 was the First one I completed

FF12 is the only one I've got that I couldn't get to grips with, I found the story pretty interesting at points but i couldn't get to grips with the gambit system and earning points to unlock the next weapon and stuff.

I've played most of them and own every one from 7 to 13, there the only games I wont trade in for other games coz I keep going back to them.

i must apoligies i have taken us completly of the topic i am very sorry ;,;

Not really, we're discussing our favorite final fantasy games, it's only natural that a side discussion of our least favorite would pop up.

VII fan all the way, IX my 2nd favorite.
Would've liked FFXII better if it wasn't such a blunt copy of Star Wars.
The only difference was no lightsabers.

Aside from FFXI, I'd have to say that my favorite FF is FFIX. Yes, that's right, 9. I know I'm gonna get hate for this but I'm ok with that because in all honesty I loved 9. I loved the fun. It just seemed like a return to all the great fun the games used to have. I'm not saying I didn't like other FF games, even though there were a few I HATED, but just that there were so many things about FF9 I liked more.

Don't see why you should get hate for saying that. IX is awesome, probably would be my fav if I wasn't a Sephy fangirl. Zidane is the only FF protagonist I ever liked, as all my other FF favorite characters are either allies or villains.

<3 Sephiroth, Auron and Hope in particular.

Lol, no hate from me if you liked 9. I thought 9 was boring, the characters were weird and stupid, gameplay put me to sleep - but liking a different game is no reason to hate on someone

I'll admit 9 was better than 12, which was even worst.

What was wrong with 12?

Well for starters the characters were horrible. Vahn was....i'll be nice, let's just say not to my tastes and unless you were a teenage girl i really don't see how you could play as him with a straight face. The plot was retarded, least as much of it was i was able to withstand, with the evil empire and the retarded evil twin surprise. The game play was boring and bland, very repetitive with a clunky gambit system which annoyed me more than anything else. To be honest i don't remember liking anything about the game...the script was awful. It was almost like a bad star wars rip off. I coudn't tell if the game was a comedy or if it was actually trying to be serious.

The worst thing about the game though was it was just boring.

FF8 wasn't really any different, every battle was either GF spam, or if you knew how, limit break abuse. Characters fit common anime tropes and cliches, and there were so many unaddressed plotholes that were never fully explored, etc (I.E. Squalls wound after disc 1?)
