Hot take: XII is still the best JRPG released since XII.
Radiant Historia, smt strange journey.
Hot take: XII is still the best JRPG released since XII.
By critics at least. Can't remember overwhelming praise by the fanbase though.
Xenoblade?
XII, XIII and XV all occupy the same "flawed but I can see a good core game here" space for me. XII implodes when the game runs out of scenario, XIII forgot to add choice in the progression systems and XV needed more time to make more quest set pieces.
Any old thread in the launch period to share??? I did not have a GAF account in 2006.By critics at least. Can't remember overwhelming praise by the fanbase though.
Persona 4 is better than 5
That's not a hot take, it's a cry for help.Hot take: XII is still the best JRPG released since XII.
Talk about terrible hot takes. Besides, SMT IV came out after XII and is better than 5. Same with Persona Q.
Yep, playing 12 for the first time and having a guided story is a welcoming change. FF15 was an open world mess.
I jumped in on FFXIV properly this week.
There is a quest chain that is like 20 quests deep that has you going all around the world to essentially make a fucking sandwich. Then when all the food is assembled the characters are like lol jk.
Meanwhile Titan is about the blow up the planet.
Gaaaaah, thank god you can have all classes on one character because I am never making an alt for this game.

I think the key thing is how single-player FFs basically took a nosedive in quality after IX.
Xenoblade beat XII at everythingHot take: XII is still the best JRPG released since XII.
Was XII the last good SP FF game?
Nope, X is a masterpiece. It set the standard for mainstream turn based systems that is still used today by most JRPGs and had a great scenario and is to this day the only FF that nails its ending.
Once you reach Level 50 and beyond? Sure.
Before that it's pretty boring.
"Oh, you just defeated TWO godlike beings? Awesome! Go fetch some items for this banquet"
I almost burned out before the game really got good. Glad I stuck with it but damn.
And Strange Journey is better than all of those.
XII was shit. XV was good.
Dunno how the remake is, but XII was a terrible game.
Is FFXV a "bad game" in the same way GAF calls MGSV a "bad game?" Because MGSV was a very good game.
Enough that Square had to sideline several projects (including vsXIII) and reallocate the people working on them to the XIII team in order to get it done.Did XIII have development problems?
XII was good but it had a lot of flaws too, especially with how padded and dragged out the latter half of the game is. I've never really understood all the praise it gets here.
It and XV are both smack in the middle of my FF ranking list.XV is higher. At least it had fun combat

Did XIII have development problems? It seems like every game after X has had serious issues in development.
*rolls eyes*
Naw. You guys can have fun in your echo chamber tho
I am enjoying XII by the way...totally refreshing experience
Persona 5 came out 3 months ago, pal
It's interesting to see how people suddenly like this game after it was so heavily critisized back in the days for not being "FF-like" enough. I wouldn't be surprised to see the same thread about XV in the future.
