Thanks for the detailed list. I will use them once I have obtained this Fang person. I am currently using COM / RAV, and COM / MED for majority of the fights since I have only two party members at the same time.

Square RPG's aren't necessarily anti-religion. It's just most RPG's have a "fight god" thing going for them.
They are awful.
You should, I had way more fun with LR than I had with XIII-2.

Good idea. Bought the game at full price, and though it was enjoyable at times thanks to the demanding battle system, it definitely wasn't worth the $70 CAD. Way too unpolished.

After 1000/1000 FF13-3 I moved to the next title, Final Fantasy: Dimensions on the iPad. The game is super fun and it seems to be super long as well - I'm only in Chapter 3 after 20 hours of playtime! And still didn't get a Ship/ Airship!
It is a very old-school FF title with quite generic story (evil Avalon empire oppresses the world, there are two worlds: Light and Dark one). There is a job system in place with jobs like Bard, Dragoon, Dark Knight; Chocobos, Cid, Crystals, Moogles, Cactuars, Eidolons like Ifrit, Shiva etc. and well everything is like in FF4-FF6.
If you liked those games (I did) I think you would like this one as well.

For me the graphics are perfectly fine. Sprites are awesome, art is great. But I understand many people cannot swallow that it is smoothed like under some shity 2xSAI setting in emulator. You get used to it after 10 minutes BTW.
I was fine with the PSP versions of 1-4. This just ventures a little too far into metaphorical uncanny valley for me. It'd actually probably have helped if they'd ditched all the obviously-stencilled-over-blown-up-SNES-sprites poses and dimensions (no pun intended) and gone with its own art style while retaining the colors, but it does seem like it's trying too hard to be something it's not right now.
edit: Screw it, actually, considering it's a mobile title and how much I'm on the move I'll probably pick it up.

I know but the game is worth it, Falk. It is probably the final (heh) Final Fantasy created with 16-bit style in mind.
Perfect for the road if you have an iOS device.

We still need a 16 bit remake of FF3!
I'm a tad biased because I played the DS remake and could not enjoy it.

My admittedly rather selfish reasons for not liking it were 'Man these graphics are such an eyesore. Why this annoying chibi look? Why can't I have my bloody sprites, darnit'
I know I'm irrational but I really did want a 16bit version.

I generally don't enjoy games I already played and beat on the NES. Plus the Job system could have been improved upon instead of lazily replicated.

Put it on PSN I will buy it in a heartbeat. Just that I need a controller to fully enjoy...
I am currently playing FF6A on my computer using a XBOX ONE controller -> so good!
I just got to *that part* in FFVII that people claim really tugs at the heartstrings....
I felt nothing. I just wished I'd been leveling with Tifa the whole time instead. I don't know why I wasn't tbh.
Simultaneously chipping away at FFV as well. I think I've played enough FF at this point to say I'm definitely a IV-VI person (maybe even I-VI person) rather than a big fan of VII and onward.

Hehe. FYI: I am playing it with exactly one finger. Right hand index finger for movement on map/ towns and for battle commands.
iPad gaming done right *rocks*.

Yeah, I don't really care about sprites in games anymore. Just gameplay.

An argument could be made that all touch screen FF games have terrible controls. If they put out FFD and the remade versions of Final Fantasy V and VI for mobile using an actual controller, I would be more enticed to try them. Put them out on Vita at a cheap price, so you can control them with actual buttons. It's not so much the re-done art that turns me off, it's the fact that it's all touch screen controls that make me reject any mobile FF game.
I actually really like FF3DS' looks.

Maybe after some time, I will give it another try. Exploring the Crystal Tower in XIV has piqued my interest.

What if I want to play through the game normally?

To play through the game normally is to break the game.
It is impossible not to break.
You will see when you start playing.
This sentence made my head hurt.
Started Final Fantasy XIV 2 days ago. It's a lot of fun until now, especiallly playing with a friend.
woops, that's what I get for changing what I was saying while typing.
The worst forum poster
Normally I can handle multiple negatives pretty well, but that was weird.
But claiming that you always break FF8 even when you aren't playing it seems to be in line with the general gist of this discussion, so you really should have played the typo as intentional.

Well fuck :/
Oh well, I already bought it so there's no turning back now.

All I gotta say is FF8 has the Aura spell. And it is the best spell ever.

Your first time through, there's no reward for collecting balloons. The main purpose of it is to determine where you land on the mountain.
It's cool, "breaking" FF8 is half the fun! Plus once you get into Triple Triad...
Breaking FF8 is hell of a lot of fun and I really like the game otherwise too. I don't get all the flak it gets.
But I hate the magic system. I'm kind of a hoarder when it comes to RPGs so even if I had a hundred of all the -ga elemental magics, I pretty much never use them. The Junction system makes it even worse since using them would make me weaker lol

I remember very clearly - when I got the game, before its actual release date. I recall this vividly - it was South East Asian release and they had a street date booboo since it was -supposed- to be Sept 9th which is my birthday and I beat the game the day before my birthday. The game was so broken that even the release date was broken.
Proceeded to break the game, prior to any guides, prior to the era of massive forum fanbase followings or gamefaqs, by figuring out you could refine Tent into Curaga and essentially make Squall limit break every turn before the Timber Owls mission.

I'd say breaking a lot of RPG's is a lot of fun. Hilarious to see how overpowered you can get so fast.
Eh, I'd say Square Enix and Japan in general wisened up to some semblance of balance after FFXI went toe to toe with WoW for a similar target market. Say what you want about the constant whining from the WoW userbase, it's consistently been one of the more balanced MMOs out there considering its installbase size and complexity.

I still don't understand how people abuse the materia system.
