Final Fantasy VII. Chrono Trigger. Xenogears. There are many a great RPG, but which is the best of the bunch? Hardcore RPG fans serve up their picks.
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?
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.
Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...
... 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.
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

80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣
Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.
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.
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.
Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.
Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.
Final Fantasy XVI producer Naoki Yoshida is interested in working on a brand new Final Fantasy Tactics game.
Not from you.
Knowing how you handled FF16 by trying to make it appeal to non-fans and changing the entire gameplay design I can see you changing Tactics to appeal to non-fans.
If they’re going to do this please give it to someone who wants to keep the game and genre in tact.
He worked on tactics ogre reborn. Was there changes? He wouldn't make an FF tactics game an action game. It will be AA but faithful. Probably what the Diofield Chronicles team and some of the FFXVI team is probably working on already and he is just keeping a secret.
And FF hasn't had a set gameplay design since X. I disliked the MMO, 12, 13 FF's but didn't mald for years. I played other games. Stop crying as he probably won't make a single player FF again and will be busy with the next FF MMO.
Tactics Ogre Reborn was an overall solid product but almost eliminated the concept of builds in the game.
So we'd probably end up with a system where character jobs like Mercenary for Ramza is 80% of the character instead of being freeform.
Tactics Ogre Reborn changed a lot of gameplay mechanics for the worse. The class system is weird and hard to lock in roles, and they shoehorned a new "random card appearing" mechanic on the maps which makes no sense. Previously you obtained those boosts from killing powerful opponents, not spawning randomly.
There's a way better way to play Tactics Ogre: the fanmade onevision mod of the psp version.
16 was just a terrible mess.
Its not even a JRPG let alone a final fantasy game.
Yosi piss(who said he hates JRPGs) should not touch another Final Fantasy game ever again.
87 metacritic can't be a terrible mess.
If Kingdom Hearts is a JRPG then FFXVI is a JRPG. And he said he hates the term JRPG as it carries a bad stereotype with western journalists.
So you're just incorrect on several fronts...
I wouldn't mind a new FF Tactics longs they keep the tactical elements of Tactics in it as well as a very in depth story. Which FF Tactics years ago has by far one of the best stories in the series.
Yes, alongside with Vagrant Story. Playing FFT, then Vagrant story and finally FFXII is a bliss. Deepest lore and best stories ever made in video games.
Love single player RPGs? Here at HardcoreDroid we've complied a list of the top ten offline Android RPGs as of 2020.
Skyrim... all the other RPG's took an arrow to the knee O_o
FF 6
It's really a matter of opinion, there are so many amazing RPGs out there:
Tactics Ogre
Brave Fencer Musashi
Skies of Arcadia
Final Fantasy Tactics
Final Fantasy 7, 8, 9, 10
Breath of Fire 3, 4
Grandia 2
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
are some of my favorites
KOTOR
We are all going to have games we prefer to play. Some people prefer simple Kid centric games, that lead them to the end while the story unfolds.
Some prefer a more complex game, where just go into the world and explore. You never know what is ahead, you can just walk into an ongiong battle or you can choose not to get involved. You can build you own potions weapons and armor, or you can buy from the local vendors. You can have a wife and kid be part of your story or not. You can accept being framed, or you can take on the local cops.
In the end, people will not answer the question: "What's The Best RPG of All Time?". They would just say what they prefer to play. When I look at the comments here, I see that people like some aspects of RPGs more than others. Some actually prefer action game that are call RPG's only because they let you level up and change weapons. Some prefer turn base strategy over direct action. Other prefer a good story that brings out their emotions.
I looks and RPG's like Morrowind and Skyrim as the Ultimate RPG's. Where as turn based RPG's are strategy or story driven RPG'd. D'Souls games are action/stradegy RPG's and games like Mass Effect and KOTOR are Action/Story RPG's.
While I enjoy all the various types of RPG's, I get the sense while play skyrim, that it is the pinicle of the RPG chain. What I mean by that, is that syrim has all of those elements (except for the fact that it is not turn base). Then you have to add the fact that it is completely open world and has 10 time the content of any of them. I think if you ask people who enjoy and have been playing them all over the years, most will go with Skyrim or Morrowind over Dark Souls or FF. This is not say ing that DS and FF or even Zelda are not great RPG's, it is just saying that an RPG purist would go for Syrim if he could just choose one game to play the rest of the year.
