When you think of Final Fantasy

[Mythicangel]

Wonder how out of all it's numbered games and spin-offs I think of two things.

Why was Final Fantasy Mystic Quest never deemed a number, when I feel it was better than FF1 & 2?

Secondly, out of all it's games, how do they only have 1 cool mage, Vivi?

Well Final Fantasy Mystic Quest was release in the USA first which is probably why it did not get a number. The numbered Final Fantasy games all started in japan. To answer the second question, well you would have to ask a dev on that one, lol.

Airships, globetrotting, world in danger, familiar summons, multiple tiers of elemental spells, cool villains, Cid and of course the iconic jobs. The recent FF games have really gone away from most of them. Summons that you just go WTF are these? Where's my Shiva and Ramuh and Bahamut? No airship exploring. No Wedge/Biggs. Villains aren't nearly as memorable.

there also wasn't a lot of FF games where each char have a specified class . 4 and 9 and ... that's all .

A lot of them didn't have jobs but you could link them to a class. Like 7 Tifa was clearly a monk, Yuffie a ninja/thief, you could call Cid a DRG, Cat sith was the most obv he was an puppet master, and in 8 quistis was an bluemage, Zell was an monk, Irvine was an Ranger.

To be back on topic tho when i think of FF i think of a few things, Story, fun battles, airships, chocobo's, crystals, beautiful worlds, and Flashy magic/ Weapon skills.

A well thought out aesthetic style and a good storyline built upon ones that have come before but still truly unique and engaging.

When i think of dragoon i think of Kain , the dragon armor and all , when i see cid i don't say : "oh it's a dragon ! "

same for tifa and zell they are more boxers than monks ...

it's not only the weapon that do the job , it's the skills and appearance .

How would you do with swords ?

I think of the modern settings of 7 and 8 as I was late to the crowd with the nes and snes generations. But I must say as well as the modern settings I much preferred the real world settings of other games at the time like Parasite Eve and SMT/Persona.

Deep story, that invokes real emotions. Being made to genuinely care about the characters. Magic and myths, high unique fantasy. And adventure!

So much different things to count it all. But Guardian Forces/summons, Gunblades, storylines, character design, music, vehicles and ofc the animations ^^
