/vr/ - Retro Games

When fans can't agree which is the best, it's often a sign that whatever they're ranking is very similar, or just not very good to begin with.

Here, I think it's mostly the latter. As much as I'm irrationally fond of the series, these games have always felt far weaker than the gold standard (Final Fantasy).

So far as I can tell, 4 seems to be the most well-polished, and would be my likeliest candidate for "best", but it loses a lot of points for being piss easy.

Note: I haven't played 5 yet. That one could take the cake (though apparently not really because thematically it's so different or something). I keep hearing about how "tactical" the game is. We'll see.

I very rarely see discussions on this series. Let's change that.

Which game in the series is your favorite? Why? Who is your favorite character? Your favorite weapons or skills?

/vr/ rides this series' dick HARDER than any other.
It's confusing, cause even back in the 90's, I thought these games played like slow crap.

Just started playing BoF on the SNES and I have a question. In the shop next to the buy items option there's an option that looks like a dumbbell that goes to a screen that looks the same as the buy items one. What does is the dumbbell screen for?

Other than that, a BoF thread because there isn't one in the catalog that I could see.
