    I played all the mainline ones up to 12 and I kinda lost interest in the series after that. I also played tactics, crisis core and when I was a wean I played the legends series.

    I used to love 7 like everyone else and it's still somewhat nostalgic for me but not enough to warrant me playing the remake. 9 is my favorite and 6 after that. They both have incredible scores. They also dont follow the "I'm such an edgey loner, stay away from me but way I've learned I can do anything with my friends!" shit that was so popular in the 90s (4, 7, 8).

    A lot of people like 10 but I see it as the first in the major shift away from what the series was and it has enough features from the new style that I didn't care for it as much. And can't really speak to much on the newer ones after that, when 13 came out I watched my roommate play a bit of it and didn't care for what I saw.

    Tactics is also really good and probably imo has the most appealing story out of any of them, but it's a lot more grounded and not as weeaboo-ey so thats probably why I like it more.

        They both have incredible scores.

        Definitely, All the games he composed for have stunning soundtracks but 9 and 6 are just stellar outliers to me.

        The game’s director is a big history buff, in his other Tactics game, Tactics Ogre iirc he based it on the Bosnian war and genocide.

        That makes sense, I was gonna say the tactics game almost has more of a game of thrones feel than it does anime.

        and yea the class war shit is definitely something I was vibin with, Ramza being a class traitor. I think he (or someone else) even has a line that's something about fines hurting the poor while the upper classes can just pay the fine and move on. And his brother, if I remember correctly, is a complete bougie cunt that's like "but why u care so much for the poors?!"

        lol idk it's been ages since I played it but I definitely enjoyed the class struggle and politics of it.

          Yeah, that line is pretty lit: https://i.imgur.com/I8mwcly.jpg

          I haven't played FFT for a while because SE wants to port the game to every platform except for the PC, but I remember the game's third act feeling kind of phoned in compared to the rest of it.

            I remember enjoying it pretty well through, but it's also been ages. I may go back and replay it when I get a chance.

            Games as a medium seem to really have a problem sticking the landing. Sooooo many of them have completely underwhelming endings.
