The first FF game I played was FFX-2

Irishguy952717d ago

Wat, such a random one to start with.

PhoenixUp2717d ago

It was the first new FF game that came after KH1, so it wasn't that random. KH is what introduced me to the franchise and FFX-2 just happened to come out the year after

nitus102717d ago (Edited 2717d ago )

My order was FF7, FF6, FF4, FF5, FF8 (missed FF9) FF10, FF10-2, FF12, FF13 and FF13-2.

IMHO FF13 and FF10 were basically on rails although that did not stop me enjoying both games (so shoot me I still liked FF13). All FF games have random encounters the exceptions to this were FF12 and FF13.

FF12 is the only single player FF games that you fight in exactly the same area you encounter the enemy and you can move your party around the combat area. All other FF games when you encounter an enemy you shift into what is called a "battle arena" which is sort of similar to the area you were in.

BTW. Since I have not played FF15 yet I can't comment on it.

Kashima2717d ago (Edited 2717d ago )

Any classic FF, FF4, FF6, FF7 and FF10/2.

Gaming_Cousin2717d ago (Edited 2717d ago )

Yeah lets have 10-2 there but not 10 /s

Kashima2717d ago (Edited 2717d ago )

Thanks! My mistake.

Hoffmann2717d ago (Edited 2717d ago )

Final Fantasy X HD and after that Final Fantasy Type 0 HD and after that Final Fantasy XII HD.

And after that one World of Final Fantasy and every FF between 1-9

Just don't buy and play FF 13 and 15 if you want to see what Final Fantasy - was - about before it changed to pure mainstream action.

_-EDMIX-_2717d ago

It's not what they said about Final Fantasy 12?

Mainstream action is to suggest that anyone could be Final Fantasy 15 without actually properly leveling up and simply button mashing and that sounds very doubtful from what I've read about the game.

A game not Being turn-based doesn't mean it's not an RPG.

I think you're taking this tantrum a bit too far lol

Standing still and watching an animation didn't make the final fantasy series to me.

gerol2717d ago

first FF I've played is 8.. thats why its my personal fave <3

JudahWarrior2717d ago

you're not alone bro FF8 is still my favorite!!!

phoenixwing2717d ago

Ffvii. However if you're unable to stomach bad graphics just play ffxv

Yes Tonberry is terrifying..

MeteorPanda1d 19h ago

The way it was handled was so dumb. One shots in melee...your teammates are to ostupid to get away from its attack. So you most often end up alone in a certain fight.

Hofstaderman1d 16h ago

Two words, one accessory....Safety Bit

MeteorPanda1d 12h ago

Needing an accessory to keep a.i from dying and only one of them isnt great.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

ravens5228d ago

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5227d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212127d ago (Edited 27d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

MrNinosan27d ago

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5227d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5227d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani27d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum28d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman28d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim28d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

I disagree Batman
