God I hope XVI doesn’t suck. It’s a long shot I know, but now that the development hell of Versus XIII/XV is over with and Nomura is preoccupied with the VII remake series they just need to put someone on as director and keep them there until it’s done instead of letting them fuck around doing whatever and passing the project around between directors like a slut at a frat party. We don’t need a multimedia franchise, we don’t need the biggest most ambitious game ever created, we just need it to be good.

>>507745117X would be the best if it was a radical black mage (Yuna's sleeves make the brim and top of the hat).XV and XIII are both excellent. XII, III, IV and VII are runner ups.

>>507755046The logo just being an asset is really weak if I'm being totally honest with you. The font is great with the ripple motif and I like the little banner. If it had a nice bit of artwork it would be a strong contender for best but it doesn't.

>>507756769They used a crystal because IX was going back to the series roots.

>>507753024Aside from what the other anons said, he also did a Wolverine and Elektra comic, this one Japanese MTG card and he co-created the Angel's Egg movie. He also did a lot of miscellaneous illustrations for novels and whatnot and a lot of standalone gallery pieces too.

>>507745117I have to give some credit to XIII for the mind blow effect. I spend the whole game asking myself what the fuck it was, and once I reach the end, it was truly mind blowing. I am yet to look up if they had to explain the concept to Amano first, or if they decide the ending after Amano gave them the logo. Still, my favorite is IV, as somehow Tormented Golbez is a very solid way to represent IV. Then X's logo is not only a solid ilustation of Yuna, but it's also had and dream like quality, as well as a wave feeling that fits X pergectly. In the side of the simple ones, I have to go for VII, It's way more effective than XIII's in the mid blowing aspect, where XIII only makes sense at the end, VII makes more sense, the further you play the game.

>>507756870Fair, but still, in comparison with the rest, is still among the weaker logos, if not the weakest one.

>>507745879XV logo is a rip off of VIII logo

>>507755094Probably at some point between releases of VII chapters to fill the calendar. KH isn't coming back in a while, Nier/Drajengard is just getting on the mid leagues now, and DQ just comes every so often. They already remastered XII and X-X2, a year or two into the next gen, and XIII will be nostalgic enough.Square is weird with the re releases of the retro (pre VII) games anyway.

>>507758020Haven't played XV yet. Is to much of a spoiler to ask what the logo is suppose to mean?

>>507753907I can't pretend to dislike Nomura after growing up with his art, but sill, a part of me wish we could have live in the timeline where Amano stuck as the main artist in FF for long enough for videogame tech to truly capture his style.

>>507754481No joke, playing Dissidia, he became one of my favorites. There is something about evil emperors that when doing right, make for imposing villains.

>>507758503Yes

>>507758503Its Noctis's betrothed, Lunafreya. The full logo is revealed at the end of the game and its a massive spoiler.

>>507751485I don't think I you are suppose to tell what XIII is suppose to be, is kind of an abstract spoiler of the very end of the game. A little meta, but it's almost as an artistic "mythological" representation of an ingame event at the very end.

>>507758503FF15 is so weird since the logo was originally for FFXIII Versus when it had all the Fabula Nova Crystallis lore attached to it. But then with the director change, lore change,concept change and project renaming they still carried on the Logo. By the end of FFXV its revealed that the logo represents Lunafreya and then they slapped Noctis on there too because why not.People originally speculated that the original logo might've represented a sleeping Etro when it was still apart of Fabula Nova Crystallis

>>507760113No, FF1 is Warrior of Light. At least Amano's take on the idea. I would take years for that armor to be used for any actual Warrior of Light in the series (Was Dissidia the firts time?)

>>507745117X > IV > XV

>>507760113>Isn’t the FF1 logo Garland?No, it's the warrior designed by Amano and he is used as a stand in for the WoL. Amano drew a full party of Warriors of Light in his artwork, it's just that one is most iconic, one is a white mage while the other two are ambiguous (one is probably a red-mage, but the other seems to be a dragoon-ish guy (?))

IX is the best.

>>507760506"Versus XIII" development and the release of vanilla XIV were the actual issue. XIII alone would have been inoffensive, but the sequels was Square reusing assets as well as their only free team at the time to have something to release, while trying to save Vs and XIV. With Nomura tie to Vs, there was no major KH at the time, DQ decided to be an MORPG in the Wii of all consoles at the time (worst timing ever), and Drakengard/Nier weren't exactly among Square top tier franchises at the time.

>>507760491I like it a lot but it’s really not at all in line with the others so that’s a fair reaction to it.>>507760587Huh. I always just assumed it was Garland cause of the two horn things on the helmet. Guess I’m a turbo brainlet.

>>5077451176, 7 and 9 are the best. The others are too complex and don’t read well when small. Square has always had a problem with over designing shit. Some times less is more.

>>507763919I’m not gonna argue with your recollections, but ‘back then’ in ‘97 when my buddy got the game for his birthday and I was eleven, we thought it looked like a giant fireball raining down hence the comet line. In hindsight, it’s obvious it’s supposed to be meteor, yeah. But this thread is the first I’ve ever heard that people that it was materia. Bit surprising, but it also doesn’t make the logo any cooler to me. I think it’s fine. It’s simple and works. I just don’t get all the ‘seven is top tier and nine is shit’ comments when they’re pretty similar.

>>507764974Holly shit, It has been years and never stoped to look close to AC logo! I don't gonna lie, is a nice follow up to the original, though IMO it depends to much of that original logo, to be truly top tier. Still, far better than what I expected.

Figure this would be the place to ask, but not counting the online games, so far the only mainline FF games i've played are V, VI, a bit of VIII (didn't get far, and probably will never go back to it), and up to the first disk of IX. Does IX get any better after? How is III and is the PSP version a good version to go with? Aside from VII, are there any other must play entries?

>>507765632III is a nice nostalgic trip, but I wouldn't recommend it over IV or V in that sense. The problem is not so much the simple story, or mechanics, if anything that's the charm. The problem is the very tail end of the game. Very few people have the patience to finish 3 due to the final dungeon. A looooooong ass dungeon, without any chance to save, or turn back, full not only of the hardest enemies in the game, but also some kind of a boss rush in the middle of a labyrinth full of near instant death attacks. Even with Emulations and save states, that dungeon is barely worth it, and I play it on DS, which was "improved" from the Original on NES. Only improved I notice is that at least the Final Boss use more than one cheap attack over and over, but that wasn't much.But yeah, FF III is a good time, until it STOPS being a good time.

>>507745369The problem is it's too generic. 9's logo could work as the logo for literally any other FF, and it's not like crystals are even that relevant to the story

>>507759759FF13 is crystallised Cocoon.

>>507766282Isn't high difficulty good?

I always really liked 8's, it's striking and communicates the game's themes

>>507765632Must play will always be IV, VI and VII. Most people would add IX, but I am yet to play it myself, and you seem to have your doubts on the game so far. Now, other that some minor gimicks or different takes on the story, is mostly the same kind of games from I to VI, just improving over the formula, with some hits and misses. VII to IX arent that different, but you can tell they are their own "age". From X onwards each entry becomes experimental and is hard to recommend to new players, not because they are bad games, but because each one is their own thing. Some people love XII, some hate it with passion, same for XIII and XV, while XI is an old MORPG with a hardcore fanbase, and XIV is the new, MORPG in town. Honestly, the most easy to recommend from this era is X. The story doesn't work for everyone, and it's one of the most linear entries, but still a very solid, and mostly beloved entry over all.
