      Dude I actually agree with most of your choices for the positions and your points on them. My only thing is I would o dropped 8 to the C tier because really the only things good about that game was the card game. FF6 is the best game out of the FF series imho and Tactics Advanced and advanced 2 are prob my fav tactics games.

      I agree!! I'm glad it's finally getting the attention it deserves!! Plus checking out rating charts it's pretty close up there with FF7 considering all FF9 has is FF9 but I guess it's soon getting an animated series and a remake which if legit I can't wait for those!! FF7 is at the top do to marketing being the first FF to enter the 3D world also has so much like a prequel a movie a remake and now a sequel!! Who knows maybe 9 is getting more attention now because people love speed running the game!!

    • @SoulDeSol
      @SoulDeSol Год назад +15

      Yeah, calling 9 wholesome and lighthearted is like saying a serial killer dressed as a clown is good entertainment for a children's birthday party. On the surface it appears to be accurate, but once you find out what it's actually about you'll be weeping your eyes out at the tragedy.

      Not to forget dealing with grief, overcoming hate and dealing with the crimes of your ancestors/family (that scene at the beach after Bahamut wrecked a certain person and Vivis monologue during it).
      Vivi is probably the best written character Square ever pulled off (especially if you did that collecting side mission, that gave even more context to Vivis upbringing and a bit of depth to Quina on top of it).

      Final Fantasy 4 is still probably my favorite game in the franchise because it was the first one I had ever played (6 is a very close second place). Crazy to think that was over 30 years ago, but the nostalgia hit when I go back to it is still worth it, and I do intend to play it again on Pixel Remaster once I've finished with 5, which I've never seemed to have been able to fully play through.

      7 is S tier for me, first FF for me and I will always love 7, maybe even my favourite.
      As for ppl who didn't grow up with it though...I can see them not getting it and in a legitimate sense not liking it.
      I remember a few years ago when I tried to do a playthrough with my brother (7 years younger than me) and he was not having it but as soon as I put 10 on he was into 10.
      I think the grittiness is part of the appeal, 7 is a world that's literally sucked and being sucked dry and the primitive polygons convey that for me. It's a creepy game that messes with you especially the psychological side of the story and I love stories like that.

It wasn’t exactly sunshine and rainbows when the party went to Burmecia and had a little bout with Beatrix or after Bahamut attacked Alexandria.. or when Queen Brahne was willing to risk the life of her own step-daughter and her own country for world conquest and greed… or when Vivi figures out he’s a man made golem and begins to question his life… this stuff hits deep.

    I could not believe the title of this when I saw it😂 7 is S tier for me. 10 is an A. 6 is good not sure where to rank it. I like it but it was the hardest for me to get into. I love 8 and have no problems with it, but I understand why a lot of people do. I have had 9 for a long time and I just haven’t gotten around to completely beating it. I didn’t have access to internet for 11. 12 was ehh for me. 13 straight to F nothing more to say there. I missed out on 14. 15 was fun to play but it really let me down in a lot of other ways. 16 we’ll see. 1 and 2 on ps1 wasn’t bad. I never played 3. 4 was solid. I didn’t really play much of 5.

      Yeah, nobody’s wrong here, and I can’t believe a game that’s as story-driven as 7 could be as poorly translated as it actually was and still be considered the greatest game of all time by so many. But at the same time, in terms of how much I enjoyed playing it, I’d have it S-tier for sure.

    The Final Fantasy community is probably the most welcoming community of opinions. These videos always have really cool discussions in the comments
    1 gets points for being first but 3 was actually a pretty good game, way better than 2. It started the job system and introduced moggles an summons. There's so many iconic things that are in just about every game that started in 3, that alone makes it a very important entry.

    I agree with almost every placement on this list except 7. Definitely deserves to be in S tier. I first played it back in 2015 as senior in high school and adored everything about it from the world and characters to the story and combat. Even the graphics are somewhat charming to me in the same way 16 bit graphics/pixel art are for most gamers

  • @SoulDeSol
    @SoulDeSol Год назад +1

    I can definitely still play original 7 and enjoy it, but to each their own. I'm a bit younger than you, and 7 was my introduction to the franchise, so there's probably some rose-tint. Idk though, I just played it again a few months ago and had a great time.
    9 is actually a very dark game, with some of the most tragic moments in the entire franchise. The only aspect of the game that isn't dark is the visuals, which is an important distinction to make. You could call some of the ideas of camaraderie and believing in oneself wholesome, but really the game isn't that for a majority of the run time. The main character is a thief and a pervert, and overall the game has very adult and mature themes. Wholesome just isn't the right word. Having said that, it's definitely one of the best entries in the franchise.
    I'm surprised you think 10 is underrated. It's easily one of the most beloved titles in the franchise, and is atop many FF fans' tier lists. A great game to be sure, but if anything I'd argue it's overrated. I certainly wouldn't put it at the top of my own tier list, or even in the top 3 spots.
    12 is my biggest hot take on FF games. I think it's one of the crowning jewels of the franchise, and it's the only FF game I've played to entirety more than 10 times (yes, I know that's excessive given how long the game is). I'm just obsessed with Ivalice and Yasumi Matsuno's writing, even though the story in 12 isn't completely written by him, sadly. I just love the themes and the motif and the characters and the music. It's really the total package for me, even though the story isn't as cohesive at it could have been if the complications during development hadn't occurred.
    I think that 15 is underrated. The story was mishandled, and the world is too empty, but the gameplay loop is just so damn fun. I put over 100 hours into the game super easily.
    Overall, yours is a good tier list I'd say. Not one I entirely agree with, but certainly one with well-reasoned opinions.

    This may be the most I've agreed with one of your tier lists. Lol. Tactics Advance was an amazing game and got me into Final Fantasy in general. I played some of the older games before, but didn't *get it* at the time. Then I got Tactics Advance for GBA one summer on a family road trip and my life has been derailed ever since. Lol. I would also say that the PSP port of Tactics fixed all the translation issues making it without a doubt the defenitive version.
    I bring up Final Fantasy X-2 being horribly underrated to my friends a lot. I share with them a story of how when I was 12 I was like "wtf, it's just girls? This is lame. I don't want to play a girly game." But after hitting puberty and evolving into a disgusting weeb, I was way more into it at age 15. Lmfao. I played it again years later in my 20's and really appreciate the job system and ATB battle system. I think it being a very odd direct sequel caused people to over look all the amazing advances it made. To this day I wish we'd get that job / battle system again in a game.
    My only real dispute is putting 9 ahead of 7. In the rock tier lists you tend to give more credit based on infulence and the influnce of 7 is immense. It has multiple spin-off games, a movie, anime OVA, remakes and so on. While it could be argued that 1 is also influncial, I feel it didn't touch people to nearly the same level 7 does. And I'm not a 9 hater, I'm really just spliting hairs. Lol.

  • @Joshua.M.S.
    @Joshua.M.S. Год назад +2

    X 9 8 are my favorite three in that order. I've never really played FF for the game play, but the stories are where these games have always shined. X is the best , it isnt close. but the part in 9 with Vivi broke my heart when it happened. I liked 8's story a lot too, but it took me FOREVER to beat when it came out, because the exact issue you mentioned. I leveled too hard and the first boss after you go across the water was too tough and i didnt have the gear so he just kept beating me.
    but FF 14 is the coolest concept. i wish i could follow the story better, but apparently its really good.

    As someone who started with 7, I would like to put in my .02. I remember ff7 fondly but I will say I do not think it was or is overhyped at all. I have played through that game no less than 5 times and have well over 6-700 hours invested in the original. I do believe it is flawed but it still is, to this day, my favorite game of all time. I just recently replayed it and am going back through remake currently. I do believe that remake was hyped for sure, but it is great in its own regard. I am excited to see where the story takes me next year. The soundtrack... Legendary. The story and character development, amazing. The writing for the characters was flawed in areas, yes, but Overall I do believe whole heartedly that it was and still is probably the most important game in the series because of how much it did for JRPG's as a whole in the western world.

    I largely agree with your tier list. Almost the exact same opinions. I would personally put 5 above 6, just because I prefer the pacing of it, and the job system. But I would put every game in the same tier. I would also add that I think 12 would’ve been one of the best in the series if it paced itself better. The zodiac version of the game was so much better (limiting each character to 2 jobs), but the problem is that there’s a point halfway through the game where the story just kind of takes a back seat, and you just travel across the map…there was a huge opportunity lost to flesh out the characters and their storylines. I also think Fran should’ve been the main character.
    Also…if they modernized X-2….it’s probably low key the best battle system in the franchise. Moves fast, job system is fun…has opportunities for some great challenges. They just need to tweak how the dress sphere swapping works in combat. (Like maybe limit how frequently you can swap, or something)
