Is Final Fantasy I the deepest FF ?

>> No.4810281

Define "deep."

Do you mean it in the DEEPEST LORE sense, or in the lots of bullshit philosophizing sense, or perhaps in the emotional impact sense like when Galuf died?

>> No.4810285

No. It has the least dialog. More dialog = deeper.

What happened to "show, don't tell"?

Actually, it's the opposite. less dialogue is always more deep.

The problem is that people who live by this adage often think the absence of "tell" confirms the existence of "show."

>> No.4810407

>>4810357
That's true. It means the showing probably has to be a bit more explicit, unless you want people to really think about what you're showing. The principle is good, tho.

It's like a DMT experience with the first boss being last boss, the universe is like, eternal man

>>4810357
And forgetting that "showing" all the time can be expensive, so it's okay to simply "tell" sometimes.

>> No.4810521

It's the FF that best captures the oldschool tabletop feel, if that's something you care about.

"Deep" though? If you think FF1 is deep, then you should listen to this song; it's basically Garland/Chaos's theme song, lol.
