    The FFX & VII placement is wild

      I can understand X's placement sure, I wouldn't say it's up there among the best of the best. But the FF7 placement is actually a little wild.

    I've fallen in love with Final Fantasy 1 by playing Final Fantasy Renaissance. Great vid! And yay to the FFII love, the music really showed Amano starting to play with theming.

    IV is 100% my favorite of all time and I don't see any FF game ever giving me the same feeling I got playing this game over and over in the last 30 years. The opening was effing amazing, the music was off the hook from the opening note - and I still get goosebumps thinking about getting goosebumps after entering the Mist Cave with the mist effect and best cave/dungeon music in the whole series. That huge leap from FF 1 USA on the NES to the 16-bit graphics set the tone, and then the plot twists were great, the quest to become a paladin, beating Scarmiglione but then he revives and back attacks... and absolutely nothing in any game I had played to that point was more exciting than "A WHOLE WORLD UNDERGROUND???" and then "WE ARE GOING TO THE FFFFFFF MOOOOOON!???" It's so amazing in all ways. I love V, VI, VII, VIII and IX nearly as much (I LOVE V, I first played it on emulation on a PC probably 20 years ago with a translation patch - so I had Butz and Cara instead of Bartz and Krile) - but IV will forever stand next to Tecmo Super Bowl, Counter-Strike, BotW and Twilight Princess in my favorites of all time.

      @@DamnDaimen Same, and I am probably in the same camp as Dee. Played FFIV first, then FFVI and remember when FFVII was marketed EVERYWHERE, and probably hyped it up so much that the generation who never played a Final Fantasy came into it all hyped.
      That and the EMO thing was hot at the time, so Cloud being this EMO proxy likely sat well with many at the time.

    I gotta say… I don’t think I’ve been in as much agreement for a tier list ever… for anything.
    Even your comments about FF1 and 2 align with mine. Now there are a few titles I haven’t played (13-2, Lightning returns or any of the tactics games), and I haven’t played enough of 11 or 14 to really have an opinion (although I’m finally getting into 14…. It’s early days).
    VI and IV are my favourite, in fact my favourite games of all time. My only real difference of opinion was the After Years. I REALLY like that game. I’d have it in B tier I think. I’d also have 12 in S.

    IV was my first rpg as well, on snes. I remember it making me cry as a kid, because of people dying, I felt the characters deeply, and never had in a game before. Rydia was amazing. I couldn’t wait for another FF game after that. And I saw FF Mystic Quest, for rent one day, and thought it was the next game in the series. I played it, I couldn’t believe how bad it was when compared to FF4 (although on its own, I liked it). I was so upset that that was the next game.. then I saw a pic of FFVI, or 3 at the time, in a Nintendo Power magazine. And couldn’t wait. I finally got it when it came out, I stayed up all day and night playing it. Pretended to be sick to miss school the next day, just to play it, and to this day, there isn’t a game imo that can touch it. The only way it could be better, is if it got a true remake, and they took as much time as they gave the FF7 remake, to make it perfect, like adding in being able to play through each characters backstory. And make all the espers be received through some kind of quest/fight/13-2 type catching game, etc.
    Just touching up the stories, or what they show of them, a little.
    Not sure really what I’d like the look to be. More realistic, like the FF7 remake, or something different, like watercolors, and artwork used from Amano’s drawings. Also, bring in a collectible card game like the one in 8. Then make expansions for the characters stories after they kill Kefka. That world should be brought to life!
    Sry, didn’t plan on going off on that.
    I loved FF11, 8, 10, 12, all the tactical ones, and pretty much all of them except FF13. I haven’t played 16, and was disappointed with 15, but liked it as a game. Just not a FF game.

  • @desert_sky_guy
    @desert_sky_guy 5 месяцев назад

    I think IX is the best FF game, IV gives me the most nostalgia and will always be No. 1 in my heart, V and VI were the most replayable - VII and VIII are awesome, but I can't bring myself to dive into a replay of either. X is fun, but I feel so compelled to get every character in each battle that I end up micromanaging everything - and the linearity is offputting. Beautiful game, but just can't manage to go hard on it - and remain roughly 3/5 of the way through my first playthrough, lol.
    XII and XIII are on the table, but going to finish my current FF VI playthrough and attempt to finish X before I do...
    Also LOVED the Final Fantasy Renaissance remake with more job classes. Definitely going to play through that again with a different set of characters (I went Warrior, Thief, Blue Mage, Dancer - it was AWESOME)

    The only question that matters...what was your first game? This depends heavily on where and when you were born. Japan got all of them in order of creation...except one...mystic quest. North America and Europe were either denied or were found to be too childish and dumb for Japanese rpgs. In some ways, western culture in general is incapable with Japanese media. The answer to this question will determine how you rank these games.

    @thomashays9332 5 месяцев назад

    Love the list, my top is almost the same, maybe swapping positions between 4,6,9 and tactics on any given day. I will say I fell off 13 and after, just hasn't been the same quality for me, like they went for a new audience, I don't know, writing, equipment, and other things just don't land like they did in previous entries.

    @seabicuit7247 4 месяца назад

    These lists have to be hard to do especially when you have to justify why a favorite of everyones is not an S so they will understand. Admittedly I’d do the opposite if I made a list and put VI in B tier with no explanation just to see the comments blow up in rage. 😂
    IV was not my first but it’s my favorite. It’s just such a classic game. Was there even marketing for it, I just remember the weird VI commercial with Mog killing everything.

  • @Peter_1986
    @Peter_1986 8 месяцев назад

    My only problem with FF10 was that the voices for Tidus and Seymour felt a bit unfitting - I honestly liked their Japanese voices better, where Tidus sounds like a cheeky Ichigo and Seymour has a dark, cold and menacing voice, and I actually assumed that this was what they would sound like the first time I saw footage from that game.
    That said though, I do prefer some of the American voices as well;
    Auron's American voice is a bit warmer, calmer and more polite, and Belgemine's voice is much less intimidating (she sounds like a drill sergeant in the Japanese version, haha).

  • @fearlesscheshirecat1411
    @fearlesscheshirecat1411 9 месяцев назад +2

    Hmm that's weird. I got motion sickness in some games like RE7 and Outer Wilds as a few examples, or anything VR. But not in FF15. Would have actually loved to get sick while playing so I could stop going through that awful 15th iteration.... everything after the first map was a disaster. And WOW, this is the first time someone comes close to my ranking. The only real difference being that FF8 is my favorite game of the series. So sad that the last one is more like Devil May Cry XVI rather than Final Fantasy XVI...

  • @Digital_David
    @Digital_David 7 месяцев назад

    Thanks for sharing this list and these opinions!
    I agree with most of it, however, I would give XV and XIII-2 a solid A. XV was clearly incomplete towards the end, but I loved the characters and the relationships and the whole photography aspect of it. The graphics look AMAZING, even by 2023's standards. I felt like I fully understood the main characters and their personalities seemed so real and relatable to me. There were times when I kind of forgot that these characters are not REAL people, while playing. XV was a real tear-jerker!!! VII will forever be my S-rank (Tifa, Cloud and Aerith are my favorite party).
    To be honest, I've never cared for XII. Love Fran, Balthier and Ashe; I thought Vaan was a trash main character. He wasn't too different from Zidane (didn't care for him, either), but then again a few lead characters are pretty similar, across the series. XII just wasn't my jam. I didn't care for the amount of time it took to setup the AI in battle and didn't care for the medieval setting and dialect.
    PS - CHEATING! Don't let your ranking for other games influence your ranking of a different game. Rate them all individually as you set out to do and let them fall where they will.

    To me FFXI was "S" tier. It is to this day the best MMO I have ever played. It had it's issues (especially before "Treasures of Aht Urghan") and had MAJOR MAJOR RED FLAG issues when Abyssea hit and each subsequent xpac increased the new problems Abyssea introduced. However, in it's current iteration, you can play FFXI solo and experience 95% (if nmot more) of the game content alone... So if you hate grouping with players, there's that for you. However it's still the best MMO, second only to Ultima Online and WOW: The Burning Crusade to me. Too many MMOs don't respect your time, or just plain out copy WoW, or have an absolute crapton of Micro Transactions and (recent phenomena) ugly character customization. FFXI was time consuming, but each little bit was never lost (well except XP loss, but beside that), there was constant progress, and even as a casual with a 45 then 40hr/week job and other responsibilities, I still hit level 75 on 3 jobs before abyssea, so did it legit playing with groups of players and guildies, and unlike WoW, the content was not obsolete once I managed to get to it, and I didn't need a trillion mules for crafting/playing different classes ( Tho still needed a few, more games need to take a cue from Ultima Online and allow a character all craft skills, or since most mmo have 8, allow 4 ).
    So my List ( From what I've played ):
    S = FF11, FF6, FF5
    A = FF4, FF10, FF7
    B = FF1, FF2, FF8, FFT, FF4:TAY
    C = FF9, FF3
    D = FF12, FF14
    E = FF13, FF15
    FF5 is between A and S tier, so low S-tier.
    FF9 started super strong, but I absolutely hated the second half, I never played it again. Like 12, most ppl love it, but the 2 of them I never could get into. At least I had fun with FF9 for a bit. FF12 was utterly boring to me.
    FF14 switched to a more "WoW-esque" style with ARR, so I promptly canceled it. I know it has changed since, but I just don't feel getting back into it. I'd like a "FF11 classic" (everything that stops just before abyssea) better I think. To each their own.
    FF13 and FF15 were absolute garbage. I was giving a chance to FF13, until I fought a boss who would do a one hit kill move ONLY IF you didnt have the healer class .in your composition. If you had a healer he did NOT do his insta-death move. That was the last straw for me... My friend gave up at Bartholemew fight, and my sister a few hours later after that. FF15 is just... yuck.

    10 and 11 are S tier too. 11 just has an amazing legacy and it was something special at the time. No mmo has every reproduced that. Glad you pointed out 5 job system is amazing too.. All your A is my S (except 1) 😅

    I played FF4 like 10 times all the way through and I used to think it was better than 6 and 7; but if you get past the fact that it’s fun and very easy to get into, you start to see plenty of stale details.
    1. 80% of the dungeons are palette swapped caves. Granted, this is a 1991 snes game. However, Lufia: Fortress of Doom and the original Breath of Fire were fairly barebones as rpg games could get and I’d still say the world building (at least for BoF1) was designed more intricately than FF4. The game is a couple years younger, but I wouldn’t say age has anything to do with it. It seems as though the story was fleshed out in the way that most of what Cecil and co. adventured through were palette-swapped caves. I understand it may not seem like a big deal because the events of the story and constant character exchange made the game flow refreshing…however: when you play the game enough to remember where the game takes you, you’ll start to wonder if whether or not some of the designers were lazy, or if they intentionally wanted the gameplay settings to be mostly palette-swapped caves. Compared to every other game after that, this game takes the cake for that.
    Also, while Wolsey’s translations for squaresoft were some of the most golden moments in Jrpg history, the characters that “die” left so much to be desired. You have characters, you have some of their arcs, and then they want to sacrifice themself for humanity. This loop happens with just about every character that ups and leaves with the exception of Edward who is bounced off the ship. Yang, Tellah, Palom, Porom, and even Cid, all share this common trope. Personally, it felt like a running joke when you see some of those characters a couple screens later and almost forget about them and their small endeavors.
    Lastly, I think this is the game where the directors and producers shit the bed with the Star Wars references. Don’t get me wrong, the series is littered with them. This game (and maybe 12 too for that matter) feel like direct carbon copies of episode 4, 5, and 6. Outrageous similarities would put it lightly. The only conspiracy theory I would ever believe is George Lucas secretly working for Squaresoft, and in particular, this game.
    Also the music is kinda poor imo lol but debatable of course.
    FF6 and FF7 are the magnum opus because of different reasons.
    FF6 earned its way to the top by merely fan support. And when you get past the angry male neckbeards that cover the game, you get a fleshed out game that puts everything before it to shame. The graphical output the SNES put out at its peak, the orchestrated soundtrack that almost differentiates the sound quality almost entirely from its 16-bit predecessors, and the color palette. I mean, the game SHOWS you right away that you’re gonna get some bleak and depressing moods right out of the gate. The intro is dark as fuck with that piano organ, and it doesn’t even give you a chance to ‘press start’.
    Female lead character, giving players the depth in who leads the show. Male mysoginist neckbeards will always try and say Locke ‘steals’ the show, but we all know that Terra leads the first half, and Celes leads the second. Locke is a strong sideshow, and will always be. Terra and Celes offer different perspectives in the game: giving up. Terra does so subtly by offering a different goal by being a mother to orphans who are still alive. About the here and the now. They need assistance, protection, guidance. Terra drops everything to do just that.
    Celes takes a more sensational and dramatic approach: suicide. Cid’s demise helps make her death not RAW and BLAND like the deaths in FF4 seemed. It wasn’t based off some Star Wars themed “the needs of many outweigh the needs of the few” bs that triggered all of their demises. It was as real as it gets.
    Also Kefka.
    He didn’t need a second half WoR appearance. He set out what he wanted to do. He won. The next part is how long he gets to keep his WWE championship belt. If you fulfill all of the content the game offers you, the more worth it is invested to go up his tower and exact revenge. You literally go from NOTHING to EVERYTHING.
    -There will be a part 2-

    • @the8bitdee
      @the8bitdee  Год назад

      That's the beauty of FF - everyone is going to have a different feeling about what is the best game, though I never use that term because I truly do not believe there is a best. I have my own personal favorites for sure but I think they all vary so heavily in style and vision it's just too subjective to make that declaration for me. :)

    The gameplay in FF6 is not in ANY way a downgrade from FF5’s job class (also another watered-down Final Fanatic neckbeard platitude whose horse is beaten worse to death than Rodney King). If anything, the gameplay is as in-depth as FF9’s because each character has their uniqueness, whilst holding more layers to their mechanical development.
    Level ups mean more. Your stats only increase in the hp and mp tangibles. All other stats are cemented unless manipulated by esper optimization. And before you say “everyone can learn every magic”, guess what? Same with 7. Same with 8. SAME WITH 10. Same with 5. All of the other games that are compared to the esper system share its same “flaw”. If you even call it one. Getting overpowered take a brutal amount of time and dedication just like every final fantasy. The only difference is that FF4 and FF9 don’t give you that opportunity to do so.
    Characters abilities are EXPANDED upon. The only exceptions are Terra, Celes, and Gogo who utilize the same grand effect of miming, morphing, and using runic. Sabin learns new blitz upon lvl up which is the most basic form. All of the others have depth. Pardon, Cyan is the same as Sabin.
    FF5 has the 2nd ability slot. So what? Half of the ACCESSORIES from FF6 give you the same ability accessibility that FF5 gives with its job system. Not saying FF5 is bad. No. A tier game. But its story is hysterically a sideline in a gameplay focused game that FF5 is. And don’t even try to sell me that FF5’s cast is better than FF6. Again, about as barebones as maybe Breath of Fire 2 I’d compare FF5 characters to. Even snippets of characters like Shadow, Gau had so much meaning and intrigue than the loads of dialogue boxes Lenna has.
    Final Fantasy 7 I would even say puts the game before it to shame if not my love for FF6.
    A sizable portion of the 8 million sales FF8 produced were mistakes of fans of FF7 thinking this game was a direct sequel to one of the greatest games ever made.
    The jump to 3D isn’t even enough to market its success. The sheer volume of its story, its character, and even the slick ps1 sounds the game makes as you traverse the triangle menu screen hyped the world of gaming up. If you had the amount of people playing video games around today back then, this game would have sold 100 million+ copies.
    The plot of FF7 took multiple games and extras to tell. FF4 just had ENOUGH room to tell another story. That’s the difference. Disc 1 was so good in the gameplay department AND the side character story department. So much opened once you got to the world map and so much more KEPT opening up each and every town and landmark you visit after such.
    -Blue magic and stealing is why every game after FF4 is better-
    It’s not about simply leveling, buying equipment and going to the next area. There’s SHIT you can steal and there’s MAGIC you can learn from enemies!! FF4 had steal as well…in like the last 3rd of the game!! And looking at a steal faq will show you how little impact stealing is in ff4. EVERY other game gives you the steal ability right away. Tons of powerful equipment you can get by performing and enhancing the command.
    Characters had more meaning to them and fitted in more so than the early 2D models. FF6 and FF7 are the ONLY two games in the series that offered secret characters, and Vincent was the best one! As a side characters he had more substance in his arc than almost everyone in FF4 except Cecil. Even having Kain showing up and leaving wasn’t as intense as acquiring Vincent! Hell, square even pumped out a freaking game for this asshole!! 😂😂
    I enjoy FF8, FF9, FF10, and FF12 a lot, but I could go on DAYS of explaining why even these games don’t hold a CANDLE to FF6 and FF7!

I can appreciate it setting the ever changing aspects of the series and the OST is good but the combat is so trash, the lv up system is a grind and at the same time the most exploitable next to 8 and the encounter rate especially in treasure rooms made me wanna throw my GBA to the wall. Then there was the chance of support magic missing often. 😂

    VII should be at the bottom of S tier, X should be higher than VIII for the combat alone (change to Japanese voiceovers w/ subtitles and the plot will not annoy you as much), TA should be above XIII. VIII is the only one I cannot justify being so highly-ranked. Otherwise great list.
