How long has everyone been playing final fantasy

[Xanatos]

IV, VI, Chrono Trigger (I thought you love this game, man), Earthbound... not good enough! I apologize, I forgot it was you Nix, as far as I recall you refuse to play older games anymore due to as you like to call bad graphics. Yes, Final Fantasy VII had amazing graphics, 70% of image backgrounds with goddamn awful as blocky as it gets 3D models are totally superior and take more time to make than a full 3D game. Even you aim at popularity and sales (peasant's, bow down to The Sims), shockingly even reviews and global reception which just recently you said are complete bullocks (something about corruption and bias) and don't care for Nix, my initial question still stands I'm afraid.

I played chrono trigger on the DS, it was a north american copy, if the DS wasn't backwards compatable i wouldnt have got to play it.

And in my opinion, its not better than 7, was way too short and predictable to even scrape it.

And i think your confused about my preferences, i dont like out-dated graphics on modern household gaming systems, only acceptable for me on a handheld.

The FF7 may have been images, very detailed images though at that, alot of time went into them you can tell by just looking at them, when you're walking/running in FF you can tell what kind of ground you're walking on as a result of the detail in the images, unlike panzer where everything looks like a polygon..

I dont think i could play through 7 again, however if put on a handheld i would..

I don't buy into reviews, not anymore anyway, back in the 90's it was cool, mostly accurate reviews, but when EVERYBODY is saying the game is amazing its kinda hard to ignore, again it seems you missed my last line which countered pretty much everything you said, ill quote

These threads are pointless and redundant from the get go, you can't measure personal opinions so we will never find an answer to the OP's question, but if we're to base it on reviews and worldwide acclaims and success.

I've been playing the Final Fantasy series for about 13 years now.

Holy shit, CONTINUOUSLY?! How do you do it, man?! I take it you don't sleep, and you use a bed pan, yes? That's some crazy shit...

I first played a FF game back in '98, it was FF3j. Good stuff. Then I played Mystic Quest, thinking it was a part of the series and that that obviously meant it would be good. ...well, I like it better than 13

Also, FF7 sucks FF6's giant donkey balls :3 Anyhoo...

I don't remember donkeys in VI. There is Umaro. I heard rape sloth taught Umaro about dragons. Dragon his yeti balls cross Tifa's face.


I played a bit of the original in the late 90s, wasn't much if at all of a gamer. I played sports w/ my f-r-i-e-n-d-s!. I really started playing in 2002 w/ FF X.

Ahaha I'm a bit jealous of all of you being able to grow up along side Final Fantasy's PS1 days! When the PS1 came out, my parents bought it for me but I only ever used it for Disney games (；▽；)

Like a few of you, I was also a straight up Nintendo kid. It wasn't until I got my own GBA that I was first exposed to Final Fantasy. In fact, my first GBA game was Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced! It's funny because I thought FF:TA had the prettiest box-art on the shelf compared to its other competitors. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but I'm glad it happened many years later! That game was very magical to me growing up! I loved the hours of level crunching involved, the different jobs, the characters, the sick pixel environments, and the storyline! It was my very first tactic-oriented game besides the free-style battle system found in games like The Legend of Zelda. FFTA was chess on steroids and it whooped major butt.
That was my only experience with the Final Fantasy series, until I fell in love with the Final Fantasy 12 commercial trailer. After having bought and played Kingdom Hearts, I really wanted to know more about the Final Fantasy world and decided I'd start with FF12. Also, the CGI graphics in Kingdom Hearts crippled my tiny little heart with joy. So hell yeah I was looking forward to FF12's graphics and I was not disappointed. I bought FF12 and the game was fAnTaStIc.

Then naturally, I did what all of you had done-- I sold my soul to Square Enix.

So from FF12, I worked my way down to the original Final Fantasy games!

TL; DR: FINAL FANTASY TACTICS REPRESENT
I'm more of a hand-held Final Fantasy Tactics fan more than anything though
