I was just wondering:
What is Final Fantasy game like?
I heard that it's one of the best RPGs ever.I never played a Janapese RPGs before,are they any good?

Yes, it is the best RPG/game ever. I suggest FFVIII, FFX or FFVII for starters.

But it is more like an interactive and butt clenching story. The gameplay is samey but it is so tense and gripping you get involved like hell. I'd say start with FFX and work backwards. Miss out FFIX

Why,what's wrong with FFIX?
Isn't ''moving backwards'' gonna affect the story?
I mean are the storyes conected?

Every number is seperate stories. FFX-2 is the only ever sequel to an FF.

FFIX is cartoony, bland and childish.

Thanks

I never realy liked Final Fantsy games but I did see Final Fantasy Advent Children way before it came out (it was in japanese) and the movie looked pretty cool besides the fact that every dude looked like a hot chick and the chicks looked like even hotter chicks... or maybe it's just me who thought this... anyway I did play Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicals for the game cube and it was pretty decent.

i always liked the old skool FF's like 1-7. they were really quite fun. although i haven't played the new one recently, i think you should buy it. the only thing i hate about FF is the long a$$ storylines. if you've played FF before you know what i meen. when you start a new game you will encounter a 20 min storyline that you can't quit.

definitely start with X, then i'd recommend VII.

myself i love FF games. lets see, i've played I, II, VII, VIII, IX, X, and X-2 (not to be mistaken for XII)

only beaten X though. i love roman numerals also.

Some people love it. Some people hate it. I don't think there is a happy medium.

They are good RPGs. Start with VII. That's the best IMO.

The only anime type games I've played are Lineage (which I really like - most girls do because of the beautiful clothing and armor) and an old one called Red Moon that really was simple but great fun. But Red Moon is now only available in South America for some reason.

Rainer had only ever played X and X-2

Although many people don't really like X-2, Rainer thought it was good.

He doesn't see what is so unlikable about it...

It had the same gameplay as every other FF game - just with the most tedious, repetitive and idiotic story anyone could have ever imagined.

Booyeah, final fantasy, one of my all-time favorite RPG Series. A must have for any RPG player. Now, my favorite fantasy? Must be, the one that started it all, Final Fantasy for the NES and Famicom, I dunno why, but, I just love the intro, it's so simple yet captivating, along with the music. But FF VII comes in a extremly close second place. Why? Two words; Big Swords.......I love teh BIG SWORDS!!!

Hey, that's what hooked me in oblivion, just the fact that I could see a shrine or something a ways off, and take thirty minutes to get to it; I love the detail they put into the designs of the buildings and weapons (wish they had more but, meh I won't hold my breath)

On that note:

Final Fantasy XIII Announced At E3

13? Don't you mean 12?

Edit: Read the link, and Rainer is confused. Didn't they say they would stop at twelve?


But...Rainer thought the story was good

Maybe Rainer is just odd.

OOPS...Double post...

I played FF a while back - Don't remember which but I think it was really good, played two or three games from FF and it was really good, those I tried. From my experiance and people I know who have played all it's really worth it

I've only played VII, VIII, X and X-2
VII was absolutely fantastic, loved the storyline.
VIII i don't really like, mostly because that stupid junction system pretty much acts to stop you using magic, and the fact you can only have 4 commands in the battle menu thing at any time
X was pretty fun, liked the cutomisation thing, although i disliked how hard it was to get the best weapons (stupidly hard, hard is good but it was over the top here, IMO)
X-2.............fun game, but the storyline was just annoying, and only having 3 characters sucked too

FFX was good - but im pretty opposite from you. I got every thing and defeated everything with realtive ease - if not a short amount of time.

I loved FFVIII

Rainer almost destroyed his controller before he bought a Gameshark for that very purpose...

Someone has learned how to have plenty of "fun" in final fantasy games.

I personally loved 9, and 6. 6 is SNES. And there is a PS1 version thats rare to find now. Its called Final Fantasy Anthology, also has 5 in it, which is alright.
Just ebay it, there were plenty on there.

7 is alright, I havent finished it. It would be much nicer in better graphics. And a bit less battles. 10 isnt the best, but it will drag you into the story quick. Also has very nice graphics and voice acting.

9 is a bit kiddy in its own way, but isnt too bad. Its too quick though, you can beat the game in 12 hours (Yes its how you get the ultimate weapon)

8 was boring...I barely even played it I got bored so fast.

5 was kiddy, if you thought 9 was kiddy 5 is worse that way.

4 was actually very good, get it in Final Fantasy Chronicles. (Not Crystal Chronicles)

there's a final fantasy 13?

Wait, there have newer FFs since X?

trying tio get the sun Sigil is not fun at all.

*incoherently mutters something about stupid gulls*

I can't see how you can get bored with 8...It has the best storyline out of the lot.

i haven't finished 7 yet either - i got up to some kind of theme park place then got bored out of my brains
