Hey I'm new here. Actually I new to the entire final fantasy series. I only succedded in playing through one final fantasy which was recent and that was FF XIII. Although I've encountered other FF games such as FF IV, V,VI and VII I never had the opportunity to really dive into them, let alone play one for more than an hour. However, I've been playing Jrpgs for a really long time.
I've played some snes jrps, xbox 360 jrpgs, ps3 jrpgs and some gamecube ones but never any psx or ps2 ones and so forth. I guess what really got me into playing jrpgs was pokemon because after reflecting on what game really got me into gaming I would say it was my older brother's pokemon blue for the gameboy ha ha. My favorite jrpg would have to be Baten Kaitos for the gamecube. I know its not the best game but something about that game and the period of my life I was playing that game really got to me.
I do like some like some western rpgs like Mass effect and The Elder scrolls series but thats really about it. I don't like when I see western video game websites bashing jrpgs just because they're too linear and they think jrpgs should be the same as wrpgs. I say screw that and screw them. Overall, rpgs are my favourite types of games and it they didn't exist I wouldn't be playing video games.
As for FF... Like I said I've played one FF game, FF XIII. I say it was pretty great and since I had no high expectations for it, it was a pretty good jrpg. However I refused to buy it first thing unless it got a average rating of 9 or above (ha ha i know lame
) so maybe there was some expectations going on there. That's a pretty good example of FF games having huge expectations since I never played through one and for some reason I had expectations for it. Not bad though one of those good games I have played on a next generation console. So I recently finished it and I decided to buy a ps2 to play some jrpgs i missed out on. That didnt turn out well because I bought a borken one off this jerk who wont reply to me to get my money back. So my torubles all led to these fourms when I searched some FF related stuff. So thats my story. Honestly Im probably gonna play FF VI or V or IV soon and I'll probably ask you guys for some recommendations. Till we meet again.
