Final Fantasy general

Go To

Because Kinkajou told me to.

So yeah, anything about Final Fantasy! I guess this would make a good starting point: Which are your favorite games in the series and why?

My two all-time favorites are tied between Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy IX. They're both very fun games that don't take themselves too seriously while still being legitimately emotional. On top of that, Zidane is my favorite Final Fantasy lead in the entire series. He's light-hearted, fun, and a generally nice guy to be around. FFV also has the advantage of having one of, if not the best, Job System in an FF game. Both FFV and FFIX make characters customizable while keeping them all unique in their own way. I'm also very fond of Final Fantasy I; it hasn't aged well, but it's classic, and like FFV, I played it tons as a kid.

I assume we'll drift around to various other FF-related discussions as the topic grows, right?

Some Dissidia stuff from TGS showing off the normal boxart for the game.

Also another XV Universe trailer:

Mostly stuff we already know but thay show a quick clip of Episode Ignis and reveal it wil co-star Ravus. Also they teased new gameplay additions (you can know do more than one hunt at once now) and story content (backstories for Ifrit, Shiva, and Luna and Gentiana's relationship.

Hey, look, my earlier wish actually came true maybe?

Gotta say, this is an incentive for me to get a Switch. (Haven't gotten one yet because as much as I love Lo Z money is tight.) Gotta say, this is a smart move on Nintendo's part. Now I guess we just hope it comes to actual fruition.

It looks like this will be the starting roster for Dissidia NT. Pretty much the entire OG Dissidia roster minus Gabranth, with Lightning, Vaan, and Kain being the only returning 012 reps to start, and Noctis, Y'shtola, Ramza and Ace being the newcomers.

[up]Ha! So I was right when I predicted that this Vaan is taken from the end of RW and not TA2. And since this is the first time Golbez's age is listed outside of the books, it's nice to see it getting canonized I guess.

Though...why listed the sequels if they're taken from their original game? Except for Cloud, who for some reasons is in his AC age? Well whatever, the comments about Lightning's and Y'shtola's ages are amusing enough [lol]

In the story its Heavensward Y'shtola, she uses her post Flow outfit and weapon in cutscenes.

[up][up][up]Do you mean its funny that there are comments about Lightning and Yshtola's ages, or that the comments are funny? The picture is a little too small and blurry for me to read all the kanji.

They are jokes, Lightning's says that's the age she was before she transcended the concept of time and Y'shtola's says "eternally 23 but her younger sister is 26 so..."

Bowser and Tabuu and so many others being on that list makes me highly doubt its credentials.

Man, The Brickster takes me back though.

Relevant to this thread.

52 is Ultimecia

25 is VIII Omega Weapon

12 is Pandemonium Warden

8 is KH 2 Sephiroth

5 is Emerald Weapon

[up] The list is absolute bullshit, seems to be just a random list of famous bosses and thats really it. It includes C'thun as second, which was only that because of a bug that got fixed, but didnt include the actual guild destroyer M'uru.

Also theDemi-fiend is missing who is literally the hardest JRPG boss ever. While easy mode Emerald Weapon is 5th?...

Yeah, the lack of any mainline SMT boss, among other things, makes me call that list utter bullshit.

Putting fucking Crota in the top 20? People solo'd the entire Raid blindfolded. One dude solo'd it with a DDR pad. And Skolas as #1? Yeah it was hard when HOW was the latest expansion for Destiny, but Bungie didn't remove the element burn because it made it too difficult, they removed it because solar burn + Gjallarhorn turned the entire game into a joke.

It's just a clickbait title with a list of names that majority of gamers have a decent chance of recognizing some from the last few generations.

For Final Fantasy alone I would put Valfodr L99, Absolute Virtue, Vercingetorix, Ozma and Long Gui would probably top my list of hardest bosses... none of them are on that list...

Random question:

I read up about Manikins from the Dissidia and the sequel, and I know the that Cosmos, Chaos, and the Warrior of Light are revealed to be perfect Manikins. However, I read that some other characters suspect they might be the same and that it's never 100% confirmed if anyone else beyond the three I mentioned above are Manikins or not.

So what do we know about this? I'm kinda curious now.

New Dissidia NT character reveal on October 3rd.

Its gonna be either Golbez or Cloud of Darkness. We also might get a more in depth look at Noctis.
