This is the thread for talking about Square Enix's flagship series, Final Fantasy, originally released in 1987.
A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE
MAIN SERIES
They've made fifteen main series games and over fifty spin off titles. Here's what the fans says about them.
I love Final Fantasy because you have to start somewhere.
I love Final Fantasy II because I like hitting myself for stat ups.
I love Final Fantasy III because it allowed me to stop being a hippy and get a job for the first time.
I love Final Fantasy IV because I don't have enough versions of it yet.
I love Final Fantasy V because I can play it for charity.
I hate Final Fantasy VI because I'm a soulless monster without any redeeming qualities.
I love Final Fantasy VII because it's getting remade, naturally.
I love Final Fantasy VIII because I'm a Triple Triad cardshark. There was a fun minigame about saving the world included too.
I love Final Fantasy IX because "Steiner, please, look behind you!"
I love Final Fantasy X because blitzball is rad.
I love Final Fantasy XI because it kept Square Enix in business.
I love Final Fantasy XII because I can finally play the IZJS!.
I love Final Fantasy XIII because I can't get enough Lightning.
I love Final Fantasy XIV because Endwalker is great?
I love Final Fantasy XV because it continues to exist. SQEX thanks you for beta testing the game for them.
I love Final Fantasy XVI because it's Devil May Cry.
SPIN OFFS
Every time profits are down SE makes some more FF games. There are a lot of them, too many to list them all so I'll just continue the theme with the more popular ones.
I love Final Fantasy Tactics because I love grid based movement.
I hate Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles because I have no friends.
I I love Mystic Quest because HP should be measured with tally marks. Also because the music slaps. - Fry
I love Final Fantasy X-2 because it really is the ultimate expression of both ATB and the Job system. Also I understand math so Sphere Breaker ain't shit.
I love Dissidia because it's included in its entirety in its sequel.
I love FF XIII-2 because monsters are great at parties.
I love Crisis Core because Zack is an unbeatable hero.
I love Theatrhythm because Square Enix has the best music.
I love Final Fantasy Tactics Advance because just one more turn.
I love Dissidia Duodecim 012 Final Fantasy because you can settle which Final Fantasy is best for all time with your fists.
I love Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2 because more of the same is exactly what you need when the same is fantastic.
I love Final Fantasy XIII Lightning Returns because it was either this or no new games at all.
I love Final Fantasy Dimensions because I love Final Fantasy V.
I hate Final Fantasy Record Keeper because it became a monster unto itself.
I love Final Fantasy Explorers because Monster Hunter is a good game, right?
I love World of Final Fantasy because I can stack pocket sized Final Fantasy monsters on my head to do battle!
I love Dissidia NT because I can finally fight my friends online with my favorite FF character!
I love DFF Opera Omnia because it's a bite sized Final Fantasy with bite sized characters!
I love Final Fantasy VII Remake because it's a fresh awesome take on an old favorite.
quote]I love Strangers of Paradise because gritty antiheroes are all the rage, right?[/quote]
WHICH VERSION IS BEST?
There's a version of almost everything for almost everything these days. However, avoid the PSX version of FF5 unless it's your only option.
THE PRESENT
The present is the Pixel Remaster series!
https://youtu.be/wOkScEsyOYQIt's not just FF6, but everything from 1-6, inclusive.
The FF7 Remake has an interlude DLC for the PS5 featuring Yuffie! Sorry PS4 owners.

Final Fantasy's current MMO, Final Fantasy XIV
While it's totally kosher to talk about FF11 and FF14 here, keep in mind there is a dedicated FF14 MMO-specific thread.
Final Fantasy Mobile offerings
Final Fantasy Record Keeper's popularity grew so much that it dominated most of the discussion in the thread. As such it (and all mobile F2P Final Fantasy games) have been given their own threads.
Final Fantasy Record Keeper.
Final Fantasy Brave Exvius.
Mobius Final Fantasy. RIP
Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia.
KINGDOM HEARTS
Is vaguely related to Final Fantasy, but has its own thread here.
BRAVELY DEFAULT
Is everything you might want in a Final Fantasy, and you can talk about it here.
FF5 FOUR JOB FIESTA
xenogears of bore wrote:Do you have what it takes to play what is quite simply the most fun and addicting alternate game mode of any RPG ever? Do you want to help out sick children by raising money for the greatest charity in the world? Do you want to watch RK sleepily make his way through Neo-Exdeath with quite a sub standard party? If this sounds even remotely interesting well then, do I have a website for you.
The deal is you get four jobs from the normal set of 20+ and you can only use skills from those four. As you gain new job sets one job is randomly assigned to you and each assigned job must be equipped at all times on at least one party member. You get the wind job, you get four of those, you get the water job, your party must be made up at least one from your water job and one from your wind job and so on. There are variations

What do you need to start playing?
1. A copy of FF5. PSN version is cheapest and worst. SFC version is pretty cheap but in Japanese, GBA version is best but expensive, iOS version is a lot cheaper than that but has the issues standard with playing a game on iOS (easy screencaps though!)
2. A twitter account. Yeah I hate twitter too but I made some dummy accounts just for this.
3.Then all you do is sign up at the website (with any of the optional run ideas) and you can play from whenever RK beats the game until the end of August!
Where does the charity come in you say? Well, you can either pledge money to change whatever jobs RK is assigned for his inaugural run (1 dollar=1 extra vote for a job!) or you can pledge money for doing various deeds. If you can't donate money you'll notice that you can still earn money from other people's pledges by completing their goals (usually beating the game with a certain class, beating the two optional bosses,etc.) It's just like getting sponsors for a 10k back in school! You play, everyone wins.

Could you use the alarm earring to do this in the original? Because it looks damn goofy.
I also saw during a stream, when terra was blinded, during the event that happens at the sealed gate in combat, her shades were like 24 pixels in front of her feet when she was kneeling during the event.
Also a colliseum match ended mid turn from a counter, and the damage number that killed them was on screen for the whole next fight.
Discord? Disorder?

Here's what I think happened.
Shadow has Genji Glove with Thief's Knife and Assassin's Dagger (instant KO effect). The battle is with two misfits (undead, in the original if you KO them they revive with full health) and a behemoth. Shadow attacks the misfit. The first hit deals damage, the second hit deals damage and shows the X for the instant KO effect. The misfit dies then... doesn't revive. Then after a brief pause (during which no other actions occurred), the behemoth, who had nearly health, disintegrates. I think Shadow's first attack killed the misfit, and since the Behemoth was the only other enemy, the second attack was moved to the behemoth? Or at least its effect was? The X definitely appeared over the misfit.
Also, I can't tell if this is a bug or not, but Shadow threw an invisibility scroll in the previous fight, and it missed.
Similarly, I often find myself tapping the map music from the prehistoric era in Chrono Trigger.
Well, that or the intro to Poor Tom by Led Zeppelin.

Honestly, very happy that they're supporting it with bug fixes as well as this. Obviously, the ideal would be to not have had progression-blocking bugs in the first place.
Just bonkers.
I've also seen some very weird animation/action desyncs on autobattle or with battle speed high. Could be the same issue.
No, no, I don't like this at all. Make it more like my memories.
The chainsaw thing maybe an animation thing? I remember chainsaw being inconsistent, and if it did the masked version it was an instant kill, but that could be evaded.
