first love. one of my favorite pieces of art ever. like any FF, not without stiltedness/off notes but tidus's english va gets dumped on too much, he's good and suits the material perfectly.
(played through PS4 remaster, messed with PS2 version)
1
Final Fantasy VII
beautiful. when i think of its final scene, all the lows and hiccups fade away.
(played through PS4 remaster)
2
Final Fantasy XIII-2
3
Final Fantasy VIII
orbital witch space jail!! the lunar tear!!! has some of the coolest shit ever conceived. wish it was better integrated and expounded on. a mess, but maybe the best! defies linear ranking more than any other FF.
(played through PS4 remaster)
4
Final Fantasy VI
(played through SNES version, messed with the bad mobile version)
5
Final Fantasy XIII
i love the high concept soap opera enough to put up with the pacing and dripfed mechanics. the most interpersonally conflicted ff cast of all time.
6
Final Fantasy XIV Online
ARR: go fetch a fetch quest. as my first mmo it was a new and interesting experience, but only good one intermittently.
HW: good shit.
7
Final Fantasy II
the dungeons wore down my positive feelings, but i respect all the swings it takes. i really like the rudimentary, bleak drama.
(played through PSP version)
8
Final Fantasy
love the dragons, the bats, and the sick as hell plot dump.
(played through PSP version, messed with NES and GBA versions)
9
Final Fantasy XV
good, shy of great? i can see where the love for it comes from, but for me the "FFXV Universe" fell flat emotionally at almost every juncture. i think i need to reevaluate it, with a focus on the parts that work instead of focusing the sum of all its parts.
i've been focusing more on movies and books in the last year, but experiencing FFXIII-2 has reactivated my FF brain. next, i wanna get to II, V, Lightning Returns, X-2, Type-0, and Stranger of Paradise... and maybe give Dirge of Cerberus a chance.
