/vr/ - Retro Games

I'm tempted to start up a new file in FFVII or FFVIII so I can grind to max level on all characters and get all the best equipment and such. Always fun.

I used to really enjoy IX a lot when I was younger, but as the years go by, I seem to dislike it more and more. The battles are painfully slow, the visuals don't have as much charm as VI or VIII. The setting, story, and characters aren't really all that appealing to me. Kinda feels like it's trying to imitate that certain feeling that the earlier FF titles gave off, except it doesn't really work out and you're just left with this awkward pseudo fantasy deal that I can't really get myself to like.

VIII is really enjoyable. There are some really great moments and stuff there, but the overall package is pretty inconsistent. It feels like VIII could've been amazing if they had more time to work it all out properly. And Squall is actually a good MC, despite what most people will say.
