Feather: Final Fantasy | Sputnikmusic

Feather 06.04.15	bump
LepreCon 06.04.15	Buy VII. Play it all before playing another Final Fantasy. Starting with XIII is a terrible idea and I'm one of the seemingly few who enjoys the XIII games
T5Cx 06.04.15	Get X and X-2 HD remaster
carved 06.04.15	vii is everyones favorite, but i preferred viii but really you cant go wrong with vi, vii, viii, or even ix
PayneTiger777 06.04.15	Start with the classics like VII, IX, and VI. IX is probably my favorite. I miss old school turn based games. X is worth a playthrough as well.
carved 06.04.15	i enjoyed x as well
Avagantamos 06.04.15	fuck VII, play 4 or 6
MO 06.04.15	if you have access to an emulator for SNES play 2 and 3. those are the REAL classics. then jump to VII
elcrawfodor 06.04.15	VI and X are the best
Feather 06.04.15	Is 7 turn based? If so, that would be pretty cool. havnt played anything turn based since pokemon. I think what I am between now is VII, X/X-2 Remastered and XIII. Thoughts?
Feather 06.04.15	@Lepre I didnt see you advised against XIII, maybe Ill just stick with starting at VII and see where it goes from there.
GmemberKills 06.04.15	I highly recommend the X remaster it would be imo a perfect introduction to the series and rpgs in general, the graphics are still nice, the story drives you to keep playing and you get an idea of what to expect from other entries and other rpgs. Its's a little more straight forward too which isn't a bad thing, I think you'd be able to get into and enjoy it right away. All my friends and even my dad who doesn't play video games much managed to fall in love with it. Stay away from the 13 series while I finished the first game and its not bad I would prefer to play almost any other FF game.
LepreCon 06.04.15	All Final Fantasy games up until XII ( or XI, if you're gonna be pedantic) were turn-based with slight variations. VII was my first and still stands as my favourite. But yeah, play as many of them as you can thereafter.
Feather 06.04.15	Okay I have gotten about an even number of people advocating for me to play either X and VII. Any words to sway me one way or another? @Leprecon so is X not turn based? I may prefer VII just because of that then.
DungeonBoy 06.04.15	My list would be: 1. Final Fantasy VII 2. Final Fantasy III (US) 3. Final Fantasy II (US) 4. Final Fantasy IX 5. Final Fantasy X 6. Final Fantasy XII 7. Final Fantasy VIII 8. Final Fantasy XIII
GmemberKills 06.04.15	Also I'd like to add while I agree you should play some of the older classic FF games eventually. I just think since you haven't played any rpgs you may have a harder time getting into them and appreciating them as much. X is turn based too, the battle system is fantastic in that game. 13 and 12 are really the only games that have a different battle system
DungeonBoy 06.04.15	VII has the best story of any Final Fantasy.
PayneTiger777 06.04.15	X is turn based and the upgrade system in it is one of the best in FF. IX has a great story as well, except for the random final boss. VII is fairly easy, unless you want to fight the frustrating emerald and ruby weapons.
Feather 06.04.15	Sounds like I'm just going to have to play XII and X. Thanks Sputnik! I had a feeling you nerds could give me some direction on which Final Fantasy to play :^)
SirDrumsalot 06.04.15	7 is the best by such an astronomical margin its ridiculous.
PayneTiger777 06.04.15	Sephiroth is the most overrated villain of all time imo. That's the only reason why I choose 9 over 7.
Feather 06.04.15	sooooo is Sephiroth in 7 then? Not gunna lie, he was a bad ass final villain in Kingdom Hearts.
PayneTiger777 06.04.15	Yeah he is. I liked him more in Kingdom Hearts than FF7 to be honest. He just gets annoying after a while. The best FF villain is Kefka, by far, from FF6.
Feather 06.04.15	I've always been intrigued with final fantasy simply because of the character designs. I have always though Cloud, Sephiroth and any other character I've seen from the game looks bad ass.
danielito19 06.04.15	this site has terrible taste in Final fantasy VI is definitively the best - the world and characters are so vibrant and interesting, and the story exhibits tons of open-endedness and choice (mostly in the second half) while still maintaining a beautiful standard of storytelling. The main villain is easily the best villain in any FF game - without saying too much, his actions are completely vile, and he has perhaps the strongest personality in the whole game. IV is also excellent. The story is much more traditional, focusing on a single character with a rotating cast of friends, and is also much more linear. idk, square lost the magic after the SNES.
Comatorium. 06.04.15	X has Seymour though, he was pretty badass. I'd say start with X and then go back to play VII. You'll appreciate the simpler graphics and lack of voice acting as a way to connect more with the characters after X's polish.
danielito19 06.04.15	vii is the most disgustingly overrated video game in the history of gaming. don't get me wrong, it's a very good game, I'd go so far as to say it's fantastic. However, it doesn't deserve the mounds of hyperbolic praise.
AmericanFlagAsh 06.04.15	VII is amazing, don't listen to people who talk shit about it. Play it or IX if you want a polygonal game. Play VI (it's amazing) if you want a 2D game. And play X remaster if you want better graphics, but still an amazing game.
AmericanFlagAsh 06.04.15	Please, whatever you do... do not play 13 yet
Rsetness9 06.04.15	start at X then go down - X is the easiest to get into and IX would be next which is my personal favorite and also pretty easy to get into dont play 13, its stupid and does not properly represent the series
AmericanFlagAsh 06.04.15	VI probably has the best story, if you're looking for that
Rsetness9 06.04.15	Also, saw you where going to play 12 and the gameplay actually sucks despite what people say about it
danielito19 06.04.15	if you play video games for graphics please stop playing video games
MO 06.04.15	"sooooo is Sephiroth in 7 then? Not gunna lie, he was a bad ass final villain in Kingdom Hearts." yes he is jeez start with one of the older ones holy shit
AmericanFlagAsh 06.04.15	Graphics don't make a game, but a pretty game is nice
Muppelope 06.04.15	Okay, 8 was the first one I played. Terrible starting point. I went back and finished 7 and then came back to 8. I liked them both about equally. Got about 10 hours into 13 before I decided I didn't really like it. I just finished 9 and that one's probably my overall favorite. Also, it's important to note that 2(US)=4 and that 3(US)=6. People commonly refer to each of these games by different numbers.
danielito19 06.04.15	the fucking misnumbering happened 20 years ago, people should stop calling them by the US SNES names and fucking call them what they are, IV and VI.
Muppelope 06.04.15	Yeah that's how I always refer to them, but when I first started playing the games that confused me to no end.
danielito19 06.04.15	you'd think after two decades we would have figured this out but literally every single discussion over FF there's someone calling em II and III and someone getting confused because the first person's head is up their ass
Muppelope 06.04.15	Lol so true. I still really need to play both of those. I'll make it a goal to finish them This summer before I go off to college.
Comatorium. 06.04.15	Still think X is the best starting point
DungeonBoy 06.04.15	"the misnumbering happened 20 years ago, people should stop calling them by the US SNES names and call them what they are, IV and VI." Cool dude but I'm pretty sure my cartridges say II and III.
AmericanFlagAsh 06.04.15	"you'd think after two decades we would have figured this out but literally every single discussion over FF there's someone calling em II and III and someone getting confused because the first person's head is up their ass" This is so true
AmericanFlagAsh 06.04.15	@DungeonBoy And at this point, unlike back then, people have access to all the FFs and therefore those are mislabeled
danielito19 06.04.15	and dungeonboy proves that he's a fucking moron, thanks
Muppelope 06.04.15	Hence the confusion. Thanks for being such a gleaming example Dungeon Boy!
Final Origin 06.04.15	Start from FF7 onwards, I feel its the best place to begin. My favourite one is FF9, but that switches between 8 and 12 as well.
Feather 06.04.15	There are so many opinions that I am overwhelmed. I have an idea. Comment below this post either "VII" or "X". In one hour I will tally up everyone's responses and decide which one to start with. GO!
DungeonBoy 06.04.15	2 and 3
danielito19 06.04.15	play IV instead.
Muppelope 06.04.15	VII unless graphics have a propensity to make it break a game for you. (I'll never understand this.)
DungeonBoy 06.04.15	haha don't do it. VII man. then play X. they are both awesome.
danielito19 06.04.15	in all honesty feather, FF fans are super divided, you'll have to just pick whatever game sounds the most appealing to you from a quick wikipedia skim, play them all, and develop your own opinions because asking the fans will just get you a million contradicting opinions
MO 06.04.15	why start that far into the series? because it's newer? I mean for real at least start with one of the older ones
Muppelope 06.04.15	Edit: what danielito said.
ConcubinaryCode 06.04.15	Play anything from 4-10. 4 has the best story. 5 has the most interesting class system. 6 has the best characters and music. 7 has an interesting twist on abilities even though I feel it makes the roster useless. 8 has the best minigames and the combat is fairly interesting too. 9 is just solid all around. 10 was the first legitimate turn based combat that didn't use an atb gauge, it's also the first fully 3d game with voiced characters and the story is good too. They're all buyable on psn
Feather 06.04.15	@MO I was joking about starting at 13 @Danialito thats exactly what I am kind of gathering from this thread. In general though it appears that there is a general dislike for 12 and 13. And that in general 7 has the most people rank it as the best
Muppelope 06.04.15	I wouldn't say it's the best, but it's a great starting point.
Final Origin 06.04.15	If you can get past the visuals (which it really shouldn't be an issue), start with VII. Tbh, they are all amazing in their own right (except for the 13 spinoffs...)
Feather 06.04.15	What is all the hate for 13? I'm just curious. It seems like everyone hates it.
ConcubinaryCode 06.04.15	Drab characters, boring gameplay, uninteresting story, shallow world, basically a tech demo with only the graphics being the high point in the game. It's still playable but it's also about 15 too long to get into. I think my final time on it was like 35 hours but it takes about half that time to get into and it's not really fun until then.
ConcubinaryCode 06.04.15	And I use "fun" loosely here
Final Origin 06.04.15	Nah 13 is decent, I quite liked the gameplay but its nowhere near the calibre of the past games. I would still recommend you to play it later on, but the spinoffs of it are really not necessary.
AmericanFlagAsh 06.04.15	13 is so fucking linear and annoying for like 40 hours and then it gets kind of good, but never redeems itself Play VII
BlueSwan 06.04.15	Yaknips is a good rpg I suggest that and start from the beginning
elcrawfodor 06.04.15	OK I have a computer in front of me so I can give a more detailed response. I is a very simple turn-based RPG that's delightful in its simplicity but doesn't offer much else. II has an interesting upgrade system, but it's very easy to hack and turn your characters into gods with little effort. Tried to have a more interesting story, but it's still very thin (understandable for an NES RPG). III introduced the job (class) system and its remakes are fun enough to play, but the remakes are also very slow with the 3D animations and you'll have to grind quite a bit. IV is the first to have a decent story, so long as you can appreciate its presentation as a SNES game. Introduced Active Time Battle system to spice up the combat a bit. Lots of memorable characters. V has weak story, but the job system is easily the best in the series (barring Tactics). You can mix and match abilities from jobs with other jobs and create some really badass characters by the end, lots of fun especially if you're into grinding for lots of sweet abilities (my Bartz by the end would hold a weapon in each hand and attack four times with each one, letting him hit 8 times per move with legendary weapons). For what it's worth, this was my first FF and I loved it as a kid (and still do). VI has the best story and art style up to this point. Kefka is the most memorable villain in the series for me, especially with a certain plot twist halfway through the game that's incredible ballsy of Square. The second half is basically open world too which is nice. Customization of characters is pretty limited though. VII is...good. I like the story and the characters enough, but the game is INCREDIBLY easy if that matters to you and the graphics are very dated. Definitely worth playing though. VIII I never finished. Has interesting customization but it's easy to take advantage of and the story never grabbed me. IX has hilarious characters but also deals with some of the darkest themes in the series. Art style is throwback to older RPGs - I love it, some hate it (think the polarization Wind Waker got). Definitely a fan favorite, if not a critics favorite. X is my second favorite game of all time. The story is wonderful and deals with lots of great themes very well, especially religion. The Sphere Grid lets you feel constantly rewarded with small stats increases instead of waiting 30 minutes to level up. Summon animations are badass. I'd recommend this one. tl;dr I had a lonely childhood
DamnVanne 06.05.15	https://plug.dj/demonlab
pissbore 06.05.15	start with ff7. make no exception, start with the SEVENTH game. then play ff6, then ff5 if you enjoyed 6. then 8, then 9
Cygnatti 06.05.15	Play 4 and 6 (which = 2 and 3 when on SNES, respectively) for story and development with very good traditional rpg game play. IV's remakes are very nice, on the DS is particularly great.
EnyaFangirl 06.05.15	X was my first and it was a fantastic starting point. Remains one of my all-time favorites to this day.
Strider 06.05.15	3 4 6 7 10 12 (yes I loved 12, fuck you)
Feather 06.05.15	Thanks everyone. I bought and started playing VII today
Comatorium. 06.05.15	have fun dude!
Muppelope 06.05.15	Good choice man; enjoy it!
MyNameIsPencil 06.05.15	6 7 9 10 12 8 and 13 are decent from what I've heard
Feather 06.09.15	Just thought I'd give everyone a little update since everyone was so helpful. I'm starting to progress into Final Fantasy VII. Cloud is around level 14 right now. I am loving the game and wishing I had started playing this series sooner. I've always wished to play more turn based games considering how obsessed I was with pokemon games when I was younger. The story is great so far. The only downside I have had so far occurred last night when I spent about an hour stuck in the same area because I couldn't see a door on a train because of the pixel graphics. Other than that though, no problems yet. Currently I just got back to sector 7 where Shinra is going to try and break the support beam and have the disk come down and crush sector 7 and blame it on avalanche.
romulanrancor 06.09.15	Final Fucking Fantasy VI! Play it or...just play it
Feather 06.09.15	@romulanrancor I may get around to it after VII
AmericanFlagAsh 06.09.15	" I couldn't see a door on a train because of the pixel graphics. Other than that though, no problems yet." If you click "select" little arrows come up. Red means you can enter that place. Green means it's like an action (climbing)
Feather 06.09.15	@American you probably just saved me about 6 hours of my life that I would have lost while looking for impossible to see doors in this game, Thank You for your service.
danielito19 06.09.15	feather DEFINITELY play vi after vii. it's worlds better.
Cygnatti 06.09.15	square pls remake FF 7, 8, 9, and 10/10-2 so i'll finally bother playing them again pls
Cygnatti 06.09.15	also just to clear things up for those who didn't already know: final fantasy II on the SNES = final fantasy IV on everything else final fantasy III on SNES = final fantasy VI on everything else
DrGonzo1937 06.09.15	VI, VIII, X are the golden eggs. anything past X is terrible imo. FF games were only great when the company was called Squaresoft. Since then it's been a horrible decline.
Cygnatti 06.09.15	^or simply "square" ~ hence the first 4 games x_x
AmericanFlagAsh 06.09.15	@Feather You're welcome! Yeah those still image backgrounds can be a bitch
DrGonzo1937 06.09.15	It's still the same thing lol
danielito19 06.09.15	also check the tactics series - FFT has the best story, FFTA almost has the best gameplay (although the law system is stupidly restrictive and painful), and FFTA2 has an awful story but the best gameplay in the series
Feather 06.09.15	I dont understand why they dont just remake VII for the PS4. Every fan is of the same opinion that the later games have been in sharp decline and there have been calls for a VII remake since the beginning of PS3. It would be the biggest game of the new generation of consoles.
AmericanFlagAsh 06.09.15	Remaking VII would make them so much money
AmericanFlagAsh 06.09.15	I'd sell my soul for it
DrGonzo1937 06.09.15	"square pls remake FF 7, 8, 9, and 10/10-2 so i'll finally bother playing them again pls" With the way they handle FF games these days I wouldn't want them to bother ruining them.
Feather 06.09.15	This was released in 2005 at E3. Greatest troll in gaming history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUY6uc4w3Zw
Cygnatti 06.09.15	bah, there's like literally no way to "ruin" a remake unless they're really stupid. nothing has to change except the graphics, balance the gameplay/difficulty a bit, add come endgame content and easter eggs, clear up some translation issues and other bugs, and it's a done deal. if you pick up a remake expecting something totally new and refreshing, then that's on you.
DrGonzo1937 06.09.15	MGS TTS. Proof that a remake can be butchered.
Cygnatti 06.09.15	"also check the tactics series - FFT has the best story, FFTA almost has the best gameplay (although the law system is stupidly restrictive and painful), and FFTA2 has an awful story but the best gameplay in the series" i love you right now, those games are RIDICULOUSLY good and immersive (even if TA and TA2 have shit stories). i was actually working on a final fantasy tactics advance hack, that balances the different job classes (unbreaks Mp and Speed stats), increases difficulty, boosts effects from equipment (to be more like FFTA2), greatly increases the amount of buyable equipment, and edits the job movesets (tinker doesn't have that shitty random target bullshit, instead induces statuses but with summon level AoE).
Cygnatti 06.09.15	not very familiar with the MGS franchise, however from what i've read, it seems like TTS changed things too much. the sound/music was very poorly updated (supposedly) and was somehow much easier?
danielito19 06.09.15	for me, the tactics games are close enough to D&D style combat without requiring me to get together a group of five people (it's goddam impossible to sync up schedules my goodness)
Cygnatti 06.09.15	apparently in tactics: war of the lions (psp remake), you could actually battle against other players. that sound godly af man.
danielito19 06.09.15	if a tactics-style MMO ever came out i would be so down holy shit
DrGonzo1937 06.09.15	"not very familiar with the MGS franchise, however from what i've read, it seems like TTS changed things too much. the sound/music was very poorly updated (supposedly) and was somehow much easier?" They kept the map the same but added the gameplay of MGS2, hense people saying it was easier. But my gripe was with the awful Matrix-style slo-mo cutscenes and overdramatic shit they added to them. The voices were mostly changed and that ended up dramatically changing the atmosphere. It just wasn' good. At all. As for FF getting remakes 1) we'd have voice-acting, potentially ruining how you would imagine a character to sound. 2) they'd no doubt add some contemperary gameplay features that would ruin what made the original so great, just so they can appeal to the younger generation, and 3) gameplay would have to be changed in the same vein of XIII, which just wouldn't appeal to me. Still, to each their own. But this franchise is dead in the water to me these days.
AmericanFlagAsh 06.09.15	I wouldn't mind no voice acting
Feather 06.09.15	I'd be fine with voice acting, but I think the reason I'm digging VII so much right now is the turn based gameplay. Cutscenes would be real badass in final fantasy though.
Cygnatti 06.09.15	let's hope they'd add a function where you can turn off the voice acting x.x but anyone who digs the first 6 final fantasies, y'all should turn up Bravely Default. the gameplay and class system are very very good for an old-school JRPG (think final fantasy 5, but waaaaaaay better). the story is pretty nice until about 60-70% into the story where it gets really repetitive, but i dig the characters quite a bit.
AmericanFlagAsh 06.09.15	FF always had nice cutscenes. Even in VII, VIII, and IX
p4p 06.09.15	FF VI, VII, VIII, XII are the best
AmericanFlagAsh 06.09.15	IX has Vivi
Cygnatti 06.09.15	Vivi is goat agreed
danielito19 06.09.15	been meaning to play Bravely Default voice acting is fucking stupid and slows shit down, i'm a fast reader and would much prefer to speedread the dialogue
Cygnatti 06.09.15	lol the voice acting on bravely default was actually pretty darn good. but goddamn the voice directing was hilarious. you'd have to see it yourself. oh and fair warning, the dungeoning in BD is mediocre and average af, quite disappointing but the battle system is just so redeeming imo, hopefully y'all will feel the same.
danielito19 06.09.15	what system is it on
Cygnatti 06.09.15	3ds. there'll be a sequel within the next year or so (also 3ds), unfortunately the creators didn't learn from their easily improvable issues in the original. supposedly it's rife with pop culture and anime references, the story is decent maybe even good but very easily could have been improved upon. oh and there's an unforgivable level of mood whiplash too. wow guys (developers, etc). this shit shoulda been easy but wtf is wrong with you?
danielito19 06.09.15	ugh i don't own a 3ds. well if i ever get one i'll def play it
AmericanFlagAsh 06.16.15	FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE ANNOUNCED IM SHAKING
SonofSnow 06.16.15	That remake doe
PayneTiger777 06.16.15	FFVII remake announcement just made me jizz in my pants.
GmemberKills 06.16.15	probably won't actually come out until 2020.
AmericanFlagAsh 06.16.15	I didn't think this would ever happen
Scoot 06.16.15	my boner is sky high
GreyShadow 06.16.15	IV is a great starting game. I'm planing to get through VI, VII, IX, X, and XIII in the near future
Feather 06.16.15	Another update for you all! I am completely hooked and just finished disc one of FF VII. Sad that Aeris had to die, Cloud should have definitely porked her. Also... what are the fucking chances that right when I start playing VII, they finially announce its remake! You are all welcome. This thread must have convinced them to remake it.
Muppelope 06.16.15	They just better not fuck it up.
Feather 06.16.15	I hope they stick to turn based battle
Muppelope 06.16.15	Yeah, I'd be so disappointed if they didn't.
pissbore 06.16.15	they're probably going with a completely different battle system tbh i just hope they dont fuck up the materia system, that's the one thing that NEEDS to stay true to the original
Muppelope 06.16.15	True dat. Even more stoked for The Last Guardian tbh.
danielito19 06.16.15	guarantee they fuck it up
Ninjask 06.16.15	Ugh keep it turn based. x_x
DikkoZinner 06.16.15	VII rules. Many a hours were lost to that game.
Feather 06.16.15	I just started playing VII for about a week and I have already lost almost 20 hours to it O_o
AmericanFlagAsh 06.16.15	Make sure you get Vincent, Feather
Feather 06.16.15	My plan is to use Vincent, Cloud and Red XIII, but currently I am using Tifa because I do not have Vincent. Do I get Vincent soon? I just finished disc 1. I chose these characters because I thought they looked most badass
AmericanFlagAsh 06.16.15	Oh you could have got him already. Go back to Nibelheim and explore the mansion. You need to use the clues.
DungeonBoy 06.16.15	Or the official Prima guide, lol.
Muppelope 06.16.15	Or honestly even just the IGN walkthrough. Every couple hours I would read over the parts that I just completed just to make sure I didn't miss anything important.
Feather 06.16.15	I try and play games without the guides. makes it a little more exciting and challenging. I am regretting not getting vincent yet though >:/
Muppelope 06.16.15	Yeah, I play through the stuff without a guide and then I just check it every once in a while and backtrack if necessary so I don't miss out on an important character or summon or anything like that. Still counts as using a guide, yeah, but it's usually worth it imo.
GmemberKills 06.16.15	aye don't forget about getting yuffie.
MO 06.16.15	"I'm starting to progress into Final Fantasy VII. Cloud is around level 14 right now. I am loving the game and wishing I had started playing this series sooner. I've always wished to play more turn based games considering how obsessed I was with pokemon games when I was younger. The story is great so far." great update. you picked an awesome one to start with. it's an amazingly satisfying game
mryrtmrnfoxxxy 06.16.15	im excited about ff world or w/e the cute one it looks nice
Feather 06.16.15	Shit I think I forgot Vincent & Yuffie.. how the fuck did I miss two characters ?!?! @MO Looks like you missed my second update. "Another update for you all! I am completely hooked and just finished disc one of FF VII. Sad that Aeris had to die, Cloud should have definitely porked her. " Yes it is an amazingly satisfying game, sometimes I just wish it would guide me a little more (God knows what else I missed considering I missed getting Vincent and Yuffie).
AmericanFlagAsh 06.16.15	You can still get them. At any time.
AmericanFlagAsh 06.16.15	Ok well not any time. But whenever you are free to explore the overworld.
DungeonBoy 06.16.15	If I remember correctly, they'll also be a similar level to you whenever you decide to get them.
Feather 06.16.15	@Flag and @Dungeonboy I just looked up exactly how to get both of them and it shouldn't be an issue. Also I watched a youtube video to see what level I can expect vincent at and it appears that he is whatever level either Cloud or your highest character is at, thats all that I was really worried about.
Shiranui 06.16.15	VIII is the game of my childhood/ teenager days. VII gets a remake and is the most popular in the franchise. Won't make a bad start with that.
Crymsonblaze 06.16.15	VI, VII, and X are fantastic. IV is also great (and VIII and IX are pretty well-loved but I'm not a big fan). The rest range from okay (I, V) to mediocre (II, III), to bad (XII, XIII).
Feather 06.19.15	UPDATE: I am on disc 2 still. I killed Diamond Weapon last night (he comes to attack Midgar after you find the key of the ancients and play this music in the forgotten city). I also got BEHEMOTH ZERO which is pretty bad ass. Still loving the game and the story. I have my final team set at Cloud, Red XIII and Vincent. I am around level 48.
AmericanFlagAsh 06.19.15	Kupo!
DungeonBoy 06.19.15	Kupo! [2] I always liked Cloud, Vincent, and Barret. I wanted to like Cait Sith but his stupid roulette limit always pissed me off.
danielito19 06.19.15	Kupo!
Ninjask 06.19.15	The remake better stay turn-based, I swear, kupo.
auxilia 06.19.15	V was my first, but I'd suggest IV, VII, or VIII. Also if you want to get into the lore through a rather different game structure, check out Tactics.
Feather 06.19.15	I actually hate Cait Sith. All around terrible character and to make it even worse, its a spy. wtf.
danielito19 06.19.15	tactics series is so much fun! sunk at least 1000 hours into those three games
Muppelope 06.19.15	I have tactics but I've yet to play it. Been playing fire emblem awakening for the past week or so and it's easily one of my favorite handheld games of all time. Maybe even my favorite. I seriously need to finish 9, too. I stopped like halfway through when school started up again last year lol.
danielito19 06.19.15	tactics > fire emblem for two reasons: tactics has unit speed as a stat - turn order is determined by this, rather than "your turn" & "computer turn" risk of permadeath is a lot lower in tactics.
Muppelope 06.19.15	I'll play tactics as soon as I finish 9 and tell you what I think. I'm sure I'll love it though.
EnyaFangirl 06.19.15	Whaaaat? Cait Sith was easily the dopest dude in the game.
Crymsonblaze 06.19.15	Tactics is an amazing game, especially with the PSP translation. Of course, the frame rate took a huge dive due to what I assume were coding problems, because there's no way the PSP was having trouble running it, but take the good with the bad I suppose. I didn't like the more child-friendly approach that the second and third Tactics games took. Really I just want a story like the first one full of political intrigue and whatnot.
