Final fantasy 13

[Rastanatsta]

I can happily say I have played almost every FF game in the series:
Final Fantasy V
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy IX
Final Fantasy X (over 300 hours of game play)
Final Fantasy X-2
Final Fantasy XII
Final Fantasy XIII (yet to complete - over leveling in grand pulse)
Final Fantasy Tactics
Final Fantasy Chocobo Ranch
Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core
Final Fantasy 7 Dirge of Cerberus
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles - Crystal Bearers
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles - My Life as a King

I agree with Vooqui, FF7, FF8 and FF10 were my favourite. FF6 had a really good story line but FF10 had so much romance and heart felt moments it was really sad. I even had to kill Yuna about 30 times so that I could pair with Rikku (lol). FF12 had a unique battle system and I really liked it. It got a bit annoying when you had a 4 hour battle with a fiend called Yizamat... that got on my nerves.

As for FF13, I haven't finished it yet. It is the only FF game I haven't sat down and been engrossed in... but it is good. It's also harder to over-level as there are constant caps on your crystal gauge. You also can't visit any towns once you've been there before which is a shame due to the intense graphics.

Also note that Vanille... while cute and rather good looking for a computer character is one of the most annoying people. She changes her voice every couple of minutes.

If your one the edge of thinking of buying it, save your money. Get FF13 versus instead. It's got blood and gore, the first for a FF game. It's also a "darker" game making the storyline a lot more interesting.

PS. Sorry for the essay comment, I just am a huge fan.
Feel free to ask any question and I will answer if you want.

Totally agree with the FF Versus XIII, I'm a Kingdom Hearts fan.
XIII was not all bad, just that it has lost the fun of planning strategies since your racing against time.
And the story felt hollow(don't know if its the right word), intense in the beginning but the plot gets worst like some anime game.
Characters, I couldn't get Vanille stay in the bench since her magic was awesome, but I do hate her voice...
Gonna get Versus this winter.

I'd go with VII or IV...
then V or VIII...
then IX or VI...

I never played X *Sob* or XII *not so much Sob* or for that matter XIII.
I Wanted to (as a Final Fantasy fan) but then read some articles about how it's getting shaped and how does the gameplay look like, and then i decided not to, since it's not the same thing i liked all those Final Fantasies IV through IX for.

haven't finished the game yet, i'm at the part where you can run around freely on gran pulse.

i've played VIII, X, X-2, and XII, but havent finished XII either, lost interest along the way. As for all of em, I like VIII the most, but that might be because it was the first Final Fantasy I played and therefore it gave me the best impression.

I played FF13 twice I liked it as a time waster but the plot was needlessly convoluted, with unlikable characters (except Sazh) and the ones you do like that are secondary characters end up dying.

The game doesn’t really start until 20 hours (disc 3) when you get to Grand Pulse.

The thing that ruins this game is just one word: Vanille

My favorite Final Fantasy game is 9.
