For me it’s
-
Final Fantasy Tactics
-
Final Fantasy VII
-
Final Fantasy XI
The three games I keep coming back to in the franchise.
Tactics has the best writing imo as well as gameplay.
Visually speaking VII’s aesthetic and music are peak FF.
And then when it comes to getting lost in the lore and world of a virtual game, I like XI.
Granted all 3 share similar themes like good writing, music, gameplay, etc. but those are my standouts.
How about you?
tbh I’ve only played 7, 7 remake, and about half of 10
actually I also tried Tactics but I’m dumb and bad at strategy games so I gave up after 3 levels or so
The great part about fft is that most things in the game can be cleared just by power leveling (or gameshark!)
lol fr. kill all but one enemy, leave them weak so they run away, then just sit your party next to each other and fuck each other up and heal and buff and whatever. just get job exp ez style. you can even pump stats up this way.
also some classes/skills are way more OP than others (monk chakra and revive for instance vs traditional healing like a priest or a chemist)
