I finished 13 with lightning/sazh/vanille team from grand pulse on, they the time I got to the last boss they were strong enough to take ultima attack while being in the diversity paragrim.

That's exactly what I ended up using for the most part. It's a pretty strong combination of characters that gives you lots of options.

I used Fang/Sazh/Vanille, which gives you the added benefit of SEN.

FF8 is butt.

I hate chocobos.

A good thing if you're an ass man.

Sounds more like FF5 to me.

Nnngggg. Can't wait for X/X-2 on Vita. X is one of my favorites, and I never managed to finish X-2 though I love the Job system so I'm psyched to have it in portable form.

I've never been a huge fan of JRPGs as a genre (I'm not a fan on anime either) but there are a number that I like just because they're objectively really good. My favorite Final Fantasy games are the original Tactics and Final Fantasy 3. I haven't made it through a FF game in years, not because they are bad per-se but just because they seem to have lost the driving reason I played them in the first place: a strong story, well developed characters with interwoven and evolving relationships. Obviously just my opinion but recent FF games just haven't been delivering on that nearly as well as they used to.

But on the not being super critical side: The Job-change system in FF3 really was a game changer. It pioneered some one of my favorite gameplay elements of the series. I spent so many hours planning out Job combinations for Tactics, man there was a lot of depth there. I recently picked up the 3DS release of FF3. It'll be fun to play through it again.

STOOOOONE! I WILL CONSUME YOUR SOUUUUUL!

Ok, the Draw system was butt. Triple Triad was the sh*t, though.

The Grenn is wise! Heed the Grenn!

I was thinking of at least try one of there MMO...

11 or 14, and why?

So far, I see there monthly pricing. A tad cheaper, but just wanted to go for one month, and say I have seen it.

I should revisit FFVIII at some point. I remember not being able to wrap my head around Triple Triad but I've learned a lot more about CCGs since then so maybe it'll click this time?

Also, Draw system sucked and unfortunately the only way to really bypass it was refine skills and the Chocobo World application.

Pft. It's like you've forgotten all about the plot and dialog!

So...can we maybe get that typo in the title fixed, since this thread seems to be sticking around?

You mean it's not a play on Fabula Nova Crystallis?

I'm not a big card game guy but I would seriously buy so many cards if that was a licensed game.

I thought it was just a play on British-style, superfluous usage of U's.

Faubuluousu!

Does that come in ma- and -dyne flavors?

A Final Fantasy thread can definitely use more pretentious, made-up words in the title.

Stupid "U" got in the way.

Mafaubuluaon is totally overpowered.

PS1. I play it for the CG sequences.

He probably has been using Guardian Forces his whole life--that would explain it.

I'm the one guy who actually loves FF8--but not because it is an amazing game or stands up over time. My love of the game is purely on a personal level. Just so many fond memories associated with the game always pop up whenever I start playing that game.

I'd honestly have to go with FFXIII as being my favorite game. The whole paradigm system is super interesting and makes the combat a hell of lot more engaging then just simply choosing Attack, Skill, or Item. Also, baby chocobo living in a dude's hair. Enough said.

Sadly, that does make sense.

Who's the real monster, CptDomano?

Hint:

Spoiler:

It's you.

I've said it before and I'll say it again FF8 is my favorite final fantasy. Triple triad was so great. Although I also liked blitzball so shows what I know.

Final fantasy tend to be much more personal games then most. The gameplay varies but none of them are ever really bad. It's more which story and themes appeals to the most at the time.
