Best video game ever

It happened. Their idea of HD consists of badly done "HD sprites" which are fucking horrible. See the iOS and PC releases for more details.

i prefer to divide items up.
i like to keep edgar with the genji gloves and the Offering with atma weapon and illumina. and give terra the economizer. and with the stat boots available you can get your characters to the point where they can't even be hit because of speed and have near 100% evasion.(odin)

RollerCoaster Tycoon

another classic. i even went back after nearly 5 plays through and got the saturn version just to play the extra (small) level. one of the best rpg's ever.

Of course I mean one like the PSP version of 4 with sprites redone and hq textures and stuff, i know about that abortions of mobile ports that went to steam

mah nigga.

You can steal economizers from the Brachiosaurs. It's a rare steal though, so brace yourself. Also, Edgar is better as a Dragoon-like, since he gets access to glorious lances. Mog too.

It hurts to see it will never officially happen.

gid gud scrub

yea i know about stealing the economizer. but wouldnt having two powerful swords do more damage than one lance? with genji gloves and offering you attack 8 times

how else are you supposed to lvl up wothout cheating? just playing a normal playthrough you barely reach level 40

Final Fantasy games are bad. I realized why after playing Zelda. Here is why:

Level and dungeon designs are really bland, linear and unimaginative. You can't interact with your environment other than performing the "examine" action.

So all you do is go from point A to point B in a dungeon while hoping to get as few random battles as possible because battles are so slow, easy and repetitive. Too much waiting involved.

FF games have nice stories, they are good visual novels but they are bad video games. Would it kill the designers to make some interesting dungeons/levels like in Zelda? And combat that doesn't put us to sleep?

I'm playing Oracle of Seasons and really liking it a ton. I was in the middle of FF 9 and almost finished FF4 DS but lost all interest in them. All their levels are just corridors/hallways you run through…the exploration is trivial

I never needed to grind to finish a FF you are doing something wrong

who's the most useless character.?
for me it comes down to umaro or gau,really umaro is almost useless. gau has decent speed but still he cant even use weapons normally.

With a Dragoon-like moveset, you use one lance and two much more common accessories (one to replace Attack by Jump, the other to gain a chance to do up to four Jumps in one attack without losing damage). Which means you can give your limited Offering to someone else (Locke can equip the strongest swords too), and the equips available to the two Dragoons available make them pure tanks who can easily reach max defenses. Plus, the strongest lances are pretty powerful on their own.

well some of us enjoy the turn-based battles. there is a lot of strategy involved in the combat apsect of final fantasy games

ah ok

...

I really like the mother series

Either this or Chrono Trigger.

Or this

Right now it's A Link to the Past, but my opinion changes all the time.

lelpleb

HAHAHAHA!
i didnt even realize that until my 3rd play through of the game. hell i didn't even know you gained stats by what espers you had when you leveled up until like the 5th.i just love the game

Stopped reading there.

yea at level up you get another heart instead of having to deal with all those annoying stat boots. also the item seletion in zelda is like so much more diverse. i mean there are like 5 DIFFERENT SWORDS YOU CAN GET!

Find me another game where you can suplex trains, I'll be waiting.

Why was there no 3D low poly remake of this game?

teenpornb.com/

there is an android remake but i havent played it

thats a funny idea

People no longer like fun

iam sorry user

items in zelda are interactive and improve game immersion, allowing you to interact with the world in new ways, solve puzzles, get to new areas, etc; items in FF are just stat boosts. The battles are so easy it really doesn't matter how you "customize" your character anyway.

only on one or two bosses per game require strategy.
The more annoying thing is the loading screen you have to go through every time a random battle happens. There's waiting involved and then the battle themselves are slow and tedious, just spamming auto-attack works 99% of the time. It wouldn't be an issue if the battles happened in the same screen and were fast, like in Chrono Trigger.

well to each his own then. i liked zelda as well but final fantasy games are much more immersive imo

I've never found a game like vanilla World of Warcraft for me

I got back into Nostalrius for a bit and then…yeah.

Actually, there kinda was

That demo is pretty old

but i mean, they gve FF3 (the nes one) and FF4 3D remakes

FF6 deserved one, but i maybe its just nostalgia googles

why? 3D graphics are ugly.
I'd rather it get more detailed sprites and polished 2D graphics.

this. ffiv is my favourite, and they 3d'd it up for the DS and it was definitely not as great as you think

Just imagine it re-drawn Vanillaware style, pretty sweet.

Nethack

The game is insanely difficult, randomized, and beatable with every game as some of the better players have shown. It has a great online community of players who play on the alt.org servers. If you like utilizing tactics, then it is the game for you. Every spell and item has its uses, and you will be placed in difficult situations that may require you to pray to your god for assistance, scribe words of power, summon demons, polymorph, dig down multiple levels, break wands to explode nearby enemies, fight blind, kill shopkeepers, and genocide races of creatures.

I fucking love the combat and how high the skill ceiling is. Doesn't hurt that it has decent challenge and pretty good reparability.

/thread

thats the gameboy one with like 4 different cartridges right?
i played it and wasn't impressed. actually wanted my $18 back it sucked so bad

This is a Holla Forums thread, btw.

It's hard to say "best ever". Best of a genre would be tough. Best for a particular element would be tough. But best ever? Might not be a possible question.

Though if I had to throw something into the ring, I'd say the quintessential video game in terms of design would probably be LoZ:LttP.

nope. see

who cares if someone reposts a Holla Forums thread here anyway?
i'm sure everyone has a favorite game…..

then why play FF?

the JRPG turn based combat is shit for teenagers.

literally, it's difficult for me to even play jrpgs anymore, I get put to sleep.

the only jrpgs I mess with anymore are the wizardry clones and some SMTs.

there's no real strategy in the majority of these games, and with a lot of the SNES jrpgs it's just going down corridors until you hit the right corridor, not even any real exploration or much gameplay going on

...

have you tried star ocean or tales of phantasia? or even bahamut lagoon? i think all 3 of those games had some cool elements and were fun too play.

Huge replayability thanks to its non-linear open world design and really enjoyable controls.

aged and deprecated

the only RPGs i enjoyed was Romancing Saga 3 and Live a Live (only the Ninja and Robot story really)

yea one of my favorites as well. they say Sotn is based off of the way metroid played.

not even secret of mana???????

I don't really think of that as a conventional jrpg tho

Best game ever implies that I will never play a game I enjoy more than the one's I've already played
Best game so far is Resident Evil 4

You're thinking of Four Swords.
