FF4 / FF6 Anonymous
Good evening /hr/. Since lately I've been feeling nostalgic towards two of my favorite old games, I suggest a FF4 and FF6 thread. Remake pictures are welcomed too. Sadly I don't have much, but I'll post what I manage to find.

I know what you mean, it's also my favorite from the series. Fuck Squeenix and their favoritism towards FFVII, they could do such an amazing remake out of FFVI.

Gogo

>>309968

Fail.

Best party would be any combination of:

Locke (Genji Glove+Offering+Atma Weapon+Valiant Knife)

Edgar (Dragoon Boots+Pearl Lance)

Setzer (Fixed Dice+whatever)

Terra/Celes (Gem Box + Economizer => Quick for 5x Ultima)

Finally, people with some taste. It's so insanely hard to explain to a VII fuck how horrible it is compared to VI. Think Square will sell off the rights to a small anonymous group that maybe appreciates the quality and effort that is VI? Maybe let us do some decent sequals/prequals/movies?

Wait, VII has survived this long...yeah, VI wouldn't make in this distortion of space/time...

Actually, They remade both Final Fantasy III (no US equiv for SNES) and Final Fantasy IV (Final Fantasy II for SNES) for the DS however only FFIII is the only one that was brought over to the US. As far as I've seen FFIV for the DS was only released in Japan and has no current plans to be brought over.

Damn guys, been playin FF since part 1 came to nes, they are ALL good. Every one is cool as shit in it's own way, being that they are all unique and different. That is what makes them great. You can't compare them to each other silly heads. You can't tell me that you loved the shit out of VI, then when VII came, you thought it sucked. Open your minds a little.

I am so sad. FFIV 3d remake is gonna be in Jap only???

I pretty much know the game by heart, so maybe I could play the rom...

You are so right. I remember when the FF movie came out and ppl were stunned that it wasnt a movie adaptation of one of the games. All the final fantasy stories are unique (besides X-2 and the VII spinoffs)

I actually never owned a PSOne. Jumped from snes to xbox/ps2. I missed out on 7-9 when they came out. Very sad that I missed out on those. I actually bought my ps2 just to play FFX and X-2 not ot make the same mistake.

I did pick up 7 and 8 for the PC last year. Both are great games. Have to say that 7 seemed quite short to me though, but understandable with the new switch to 3d. And, even though I have the most connection with 4 & 6 through my childhood, i think the story/style/gameplay of 8 is my favorite.

One, was disappointed as hell because they left Nintendo.
Two, thought the art and graphics for VII looked pretty flaky even before they left Nintendo. Still think they look like a joke.
Three, when I finally tried VII on the PC, I couldn't connect to any of the characters, in any way. Half of it was just how damn goofy every one of them looked. The other half was, compared to VI, VII's characters are beyond paper thin and shallow. I never cared about any of them, and I damn sure didn't want to bother with Sephiroth. You _want_ to kill Kefka, he's an evil SOB, but Sephiroth was a boring joke.
I hated it all, the feel, the way it looked, the systems it had (magicite fucks materia over).

VII is only great by the amount they advertised the living shit out of it, and are still doing so. People are drawn to hype and munch it up like a Zone Eater.

VI is by far totally superior in every way.
>> exroyalty !3GqYIJ3Obs
finalfantasyfag here, I've played all of them but 11 and 3 (tactics and 8 are my favorite, etc).

any way, I've searched high and low to find a higher resolution of this concept art for the ds port, but no such luck. I would probably cry rivers if someone found it.

Cry more emo kid. Now I'm not sure but I think Final Fantasy jumped to the Sony route maybe because Nintendo didn't cut it in the 90s. They were behind the times with their ROM-based cartridges. The dynamic change of VII was due to the inclusion of actual in-game animatics... with pre-rendered footage. You know... when people went apeshit over Wing Commander on the PC because it came on 4 CDs... think the same, but for a console you only have to buy once for a whole 3 or 4 year lifecycle of all games which come out during that time able to play on the same hardware. Anyone deluded enough to think FF:Spirits Within is a FF entity... realize THAT failure was the reason Square had to sell-out to Enix. Without that movie it's entirely possible we'd still have dynamic storylines and innovative characters instead of the same archetypes being regurgitated onto different backdrops.
>> dedla !MQbFngGEl2

You remembered wrong. Nintendo and Square had a huge falling out, had nothing to do with Nintendo cutting it. They were working with designs to support VII for Nintendo when they got into a fight. If I recall that's why Sony went on to make the PS, Nintendo was fucking them out of something. Sony was making the expansion unit that FF VII was needing to run on.

But since they moved over to PS, they added shit tons of cinemas, which some how captured the hearts of millions of immature douche bags. Odd how VII had so much bullshit filler like that, and shit for storyline. Even odder how almost every FF since has followed suite. Cinemas are a joke, and a waste of space. "Wow, why bust our ass off with anything interesting when we can make it look really shiny and fill up all that space we have now!" Fuckin Star Wars mentality, and people buy it up. It's sick.

Butthurt Ninfag crying cause his first and favorite Final Fantasy wasn't everybody else's. Nobody felt any real need to kill Kefka. Sephiroth, on the other hand, reached out and fucked you over. All that effort and time spent in levelling Aeris up, GONE. That's right, he broke the fourth wall and actually did something that affected you.

I think everybody's first usually ends up being their favorite. I've been playing since 4.

Fucking love 1,4,6,7,8 can respect 5 and 9, not a huge fan of 2,10, have not played 3 or 10-2. And even though I spent more time playing 7 and 8 than any other, have played 6 far more times than any other, at the end of the day 4 still has that warm place in my heart and i remember it the fondest.

No way, I tried 1 first, hated it, I was too stupid at that age. Played 4 a bit, was ok, never really drew me in like 6 though. Does that invoke the "third time's a charm" rule?

Cid was the fucking bomb in 4, and a dildo in 6...forgot about that damn goofy hat/suite he wore.

OKAY, just to shut everyone up... They are all different fucking games. Who cares what YOU think the best one is? Some people like a medieval-style setting, so 1,2,3, and 4 appeal to them for that reason. Some people like the tactical fighting system of Tactics. Some people like Kefka over Sephiroth, Kuja over Hojo, Kain over Cloud, Lenna over Gogo, Fighter over Cecil, Auron over that gay main character from Mystic Quest...

My main point is that there is no superior Final Fantasy. To each his own. Fuck.

OP anon and also one of the discussion fags. I think it's something amazing seeing how opinions vary from each one of us - I guess it only proves Square's been doing it right and different people relate themselves better with a different title.

Maybe the first Final Fantasy we play always stays marked for eternity, I guess. I started with Final Fantasy VII when it was released here (Eurofag, no prior ones were released to earlier formats, etc) and then it came VIII. I guess those two will always be somewhat special, love the gameplay and general storyline on VII, VIII in another hand has an awful gameplay (wouldn't dare to touch the magic spells, otherwise junction would be screwed, also infinite minutes summoning GF) but the characters are really "deep" and you can "feel" for them... I think that even though VII has an amazing plot, the characters seem somewhat cold and distant to the player (funny enough, it's still the same on AC IMHO).

As to VI, played it only when it was remade for PS, and just like some wise anon said - it has an amazing character development, even better than VIII. I also think Magicite is superior to VII and VIII battle systems. Not even commenting on the soundtracks because every single one is fucking amazing.

tl;dr, I can't really favorite one particular chapter, but IV, VI, VII and VIII are my top favorites. X is really cool to play, mainly because the battle system amuses me much. IX was just weird overall.
