I've always wanted to play every Final Fantasy. Is this worth doing? And what am I in for if I do?

shmucks are memorization fests for trannies neets

Which one is your favorite game?
JRPG or CRPG?
Fan translated SFC JRPGs were the games I played the most as a teenager (so, for me, the 00's decade), with stuff like when SMTI and II were first translated. I barely play these anymore, though.
(Sorry if this seems like a blogpost, last time I made the thread it got deleted, probably because it was lacking)

Is FFVII the best RPG? At least of the Japanese console variant. I think it has top notch design and nails the formula.

Midgar was the best part of Final Fantasy 7. The rest of the game is typical RPG trash.

Squaresoft fucks you by making you think this sick ass steampunk world is going to be the focus of the whole game, this dark, depressing atmosphere of bounty hunters, terrorists, and ogliarchs duking it out and fighting for their ideals. Grey and grey morality is king, and you don't even know if you're the good guys.

In the beginning AVALANCHE aren't even really characterized as the good guys because they still destroyed entire sectors of Midgar, destroying infrastructure and people's livelihood.

Admit it, the shiny golden wire of hope is the best part of the entire game. Seeing Shinra corporation up close and really grasping what you're up against? Memorable as fuck. Storming Shinra headquarters? Memorable as fuck.

Then you get outside into the overworld and the game completely halts the pace to zero with the fucking Kalm flashback. The story after that grinds to a complete halt. The game lost it's focus and didn't get it back until the end of motherfucking Disk 3.

If this game wasn't your childhoods you'd see it was a damn mess. Pretty ambitious and fun to play, but the story and setting needed a lot more work.
