The FF13 trailer got me hot and bothered. Which FF do I play now? FF9, FFX-2i, FF12i?

PEINS PEINS PEINS PEINS PEINS PEINS PEINS PEINS PEINS PEINS PEINS PEINS oh god i am drowning in them
Goddamn, I am all wet now.

And I want to replay an FF, but the ones listed in the title are the only ones I haven't had multiple plays of ever.

FF9 is one of my bottom barrel FFs. Never really was a fan.

FFX-2 is one of my favorites. Never touched International + Last Mission. Could be exciting.

I think I have talked about FF12 enough. But International has allegedly fixed the broken License Board and Quickenings. Maybe I can play without Gambits?

MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!
And if you can't make up your mind, I will make it up for you.

Once this hits a good amount of posts, I will tally the votes and act proper on them. Even if you fuckers condemn me to another round of FF12, goddammit.

FF9 is awesome, what are you talking about?

9, best FF EVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

IX....I actually did not care for it either my 1st playthrough...but when I went back to replay it a year later I was like "holy shit, how did I not enjoy this my first time". Now its up there with some of my favorite games ever.

I'm probably one of the few who prefers regular FFXII over international. Everything is a bit too constrained in that one. Maybe if they allowed partial secondary jobs, or just the ability to change job classes it would have been much better.
Oh, I forgot. Play FFIX.

9 you fool!

Out of the ones you've listed, FF9.

VI VIII IX
KTallguy said:
Out of those 3, I'd prefer FF12i, but I think you'd prefer FFX-2i :lol
LiK said:
FF6 is still my #1 fave FF game in the entire series. must play!
Teknoman said:
Could just knock out VI first since its shorter. That and Dancing mad.
Teknoman said:
XII's system isnt similar to XIII. More like FFX-2 spliced with Chrono Trigger. Only thing it might have in common with XII is that they might give you the choice of AI commands.
But then you wouldnt be able to pull off crazy chains with AI set on.

Play FFIX and I'll play along with you.

FF 9 feels like the last gasp of the previous final fantasies, after that they seem to be becoming iffy. In, short, FF9, it's classic.

[QUOTE=ZephyrFate]Uhm, FFIX. It was the last bastion of "true" Final Fantasy before it started to deviate from such a great formula.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=gray_fox224]9![/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=rataven]FFIX is pretty dam great. You should give it another try.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Poolman]Give FF9 another chance.
It's probably my favorite PS1 Final Fantasy next to Tactics.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=rataven]The tail is bad. [I]Really[/I] bad. But so many of the other character designs are really well done. The Black Mages and Beatrix are badass.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=KuwabaraTheMan]IX Remains my favorite game in the series. Maybe a second playthrough would do you some good?[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=RuneFactoryFanboy]is it possible to negative vote?
I was like you, I tried getting into FF9 and it never really grabbed me.
I forced myself to sit down and play through the whole game since so many people said it was amazing and I was on Dissidia hype. Very few games do I play through and afterwards actually want my time back. FF9 is one of them, it never "got better" in fact it kept getting worse to the point where I was debating just watching the end on youtube.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=firex]play FF Mystic quest and FF9 simultaneously.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=bigcheese]9 was my favorite of those, definitely. I could go back and play through that a lot more times.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Synless]Final Fantasy X-2 because really, the game get's not nearly enough love as it deserves. Just because it's more happy sunshine, and butterflies doesn't make it not a good game as alot of people claim it to be.

9 - cause its more final fantasy like than the others
12 - cause its the most fun
10-2 - cause it has yuna <3

IX, characters and plot are the best of the series IMO.
But if you want the best gameplay of the series: either X-2 or XII will do.

Oh he must be out of character

This is in my backlog but that tail...what were they thinking? Come to think of it, I've never finished FFVIII either...
LiK said:
cool, tell us how FF9 is when you play that next. ;)
U K Narayan said:
I suggest a better alternative to playing Final Fantasy X and X2. You should just smear poop on your face.
Or just fuck all of the Final Fantasy games and go play Vagrant Story, which is 100x better than all of those.
soldat7 said:
I'm glad there's a plot reason for it because it sure looks silly. Now to play this, Vagrant Story, or Blood Omen: LoK?...decisions, decisions...

You can play all, afterall, we won't get XIII soon :lol

FFXII International? Do you read Japanese?

I'm definitely bothered by this character design. I'll bet his name is Fyre cause his hair is like, firey and stuff.

XII's system isnt similar to XIII. More like FFX-2 spliced with Chrono Trigger. Only thing it might have in common with XII is that they might give you the choice of AI commands.

But then you wouldnt be able to pull off crazy chains with AI set on.

Also X-2 has an awesome soundtrack, and all the people who complained about it...forcing the woman who composed it out of the industry suck.

When have I ever said anything about FF13, really? I've mostly been on a media blackout for it.
 
FF 9 feels like the last gasp of the previous final fantasies, after that they seem to be becoming iffy. In, short, FF9, it's classic.

Technically that means nothing, as I know plenty of foreigners who live here and can't read a lick of Japanese, but yes. I can.

Uhm, FFIX. It was the last bastion of "true" Final Fantasy before it started to deviate from such a great formula.
I won't deny that ATB is a great formula, but FFX and X-2 weren't part of the problem. Never getting a real 11 and the mess 12 is, although, is a problem. 13's trailer looked nothing like 12 to me (where are people getting that?) and the similarities to X-2 got me all crazy in the head. Not that that means I have to go play X-2 right now, mind.
