which should i finish

June 4, 2008, 3:28 PM

ok, i have that really bad problem where i lack the attention to finish a game then read about it cause i cba playing it, then losing the interest even more by knowing the ending.

anyway which game should i finish first out of:

ffvii (probably the one im furthest into)
ffviii(right near the begging but probably the only one i don't know the story)
ffix(again near the begging but it sounds good + vivi is win)
ffx (second furthest into, one im leaning towards the most, stuck on the wyvern)
ffxii(near the begging, got beat by gabranth then just didn't try again)

so anyway, please persuade me to finish one

Well if your furthest into FFVII I suggest completing that one first, & its not too challenging or long. Then get onto FFX because it's an epic game!

If you are near the beginning on the others though I suggest just restarting them as you complete the next

It really is worth it, they all have excellent storylines, although I don't remember much from IX because it was a good while ago

XII I had a hard time with because it's long and the fancy new battle system confused me, Id save that one for last

How far are you? If you're too far, I'd advise you to start over, as you could be confused and not know what to do next.

Avoid it until you've completed another FF game, unless you like it a lot, because personally, this is a horrible FF game. HORRIBLE.

If you're near the beginning, start again, it's a fun game and isn't really challenging.

Wyvern? Evrae? Again, I'd recommend starting again, Evrae is a bitch to be stuck on.

Don't play this one until you've played the others, as it's battle system is more in-depth and confusing, and really isn't for newbies to the FF series.

I think that because you are so indecisive you should go through them all one at a time. start at VII and work through them one by one, completing all things FF and giving you a massive Ego boost

im not new to the series or anything, i've been playing them for about 4 years (long time when your 15 lol) so i know what im doing and playing a bad one isn't gonna put me off. when i get round to it i will restart viii and xi.

i'm about 2/3-just near the end (shnira building) of disc 2 on vii

really don't wanna restart x because i restarted already to beat the sin spawn on mi'ihen (where seymour joins in)

If I was you I'd go ahead and finished VII. Why? Because after you finish that puppy then you have Dirge of Cerberus and Crisis Core - unless, of course, you've already done those. I'm the type that likes to completely finished up a game and then move on to the next. I can't leave one hanging. I can understand, though, how you'd get bored and want to move on to something else. I felt that way, especially with I. However, I pressed on and restored light to the world, as was my duty being a Light Warrior. Wooo!

You're really getting close to the end of VII, in my opinion, so I'd really go ahead and finish it up. The game is well worth it. Do not go for XII, because, damn, that one is hellishly long. Especially if you try to get everything, in the game, and complete all the hunts. Anyway - Do VII first and then I'd go for X and move on to VIII and IX. Great games.

Good luck with it!

number seven because your furthest in to it and because in my opinion it's the best one

Mod Edit: Put more effort into your posts.

It's no worse than XII is...well actually it is. At least in XII you don't have to stock magic and spend a half hour trying to figure out how to junction. Nevermind

Evrae's a prick if you're not prepared. Just have tons of Softs and make full use of Rikku's Al Bhed potions.

Oh wow, you're nearly done with VII then. You just gotta beat Hojo and a couple more people and you can make your way to Sephi. I recommend you try some sidequests too though, like the Wutai sidequest (if you've fought Reno and Rude in the tunnels though, it's too late to do the one where you save Yuffie and Elena from Don Corneo). And I definitely recommend you go do the sunken ship Gelinka sidequest, you can get alot of good materia and weapons (be warned, the monsters in it are BRUTAL and you'll likely be slaughtered if you're not lvl 50+). Chasing down Ultima WEAPON is advisable too, since you get a good enemy skill and the Ultima Blade offa him. I really don't recommend wasting your time on a gold chocobo and KotR unless you're a completionist, because they're completely unnecessary. Sephiroth is a letdown.

After that...I'd say either IX or X, they're both great games. XII is...um...well I did nearly all the hunts because some of the small stories that go on in Clan Centurio and with the people who hire you are more compelling than the actual plot. It's a single-player MMO, there's not much else I can say about it. You can save VIII for last, it's just a pain in the ass, moreso than XII.

so im near the end of vii? even though i've got a whole disc? is disc three just the fights with sephiroth or something? (too many questions) anyway yeah i've done wutai and the sunken ship (the one with heavens cloud?) and i've just beat reno and rude in the tunnel.

probably go for vii so i can play crisis core then.
