Yeah it's not a bad game, unless all JRPGs are bad (which some would claim of course, but nevermind that). When I played as a kid I disliked the game's linearity and the somewhat "unserious" feeling of its story, but I still finished it. It's certainly playable. Today, I'm more bothered by how ugly I find the enemy graphics. Oh well. It's fine.

Not 100% sure but I think it was made by a team that was used to making RPGs on the gameboy.

Linear? Yep. Unserious & even bad story? Yeah. Last 1% of the game:
>btw, the final boss & mastermind behind all the bad stuff in the world is the Evil King!
>k let's go beat him!
>k, done, roll credits.
But I thought the enemy designs were fine (pretty cool 'weakened' states) and are true to FF's good ol' "irl/preexisting mythology."

I don't get the people saying this baby game is anywhere near as difficult as other FF's. The only parts that can be perceived as hard are the occasional, artificially difficult battles with 2+ monsters who petrify and use it consecutively for a quick team wipe. So just restart that 20-second battle real quick.. It's highly unlikely that they'll do it again. If you're using your offensive & support magic and different weapons, the game's a cakewalk.

>>9226906
It's not as much for babies as people think. If I fast-forward mindlessly through a battle, there are many times where I'll just die.

Indeed, the music is fantastic.

Clearly this is a problem with you and your ability to understand things.

That's correct except for the retarded part where you exaggerate in order to cite "artificial difficulty" like a tryhard plebbitor. There are different and valid ways to measure difficulty and FFMQ is "difficult" meaning more difficult than many mainline Final Fantasy games, which is not ever very difficult in the sense that you have limited room for mistakes for a good chunk of the game unless you grind a lot.

Final Fantasy VI is a far more complex game, but so it's more "difficult" to gain full understanding of all the mechanics and systems. But, it's generally also a more forgiving game that leaves more room for mistakes given an average level of grinding. In both cases, though, everything is highly dependent on grinding so taking any kind extreme position is the retarded one. And in this case, that's you, stamping your foot and insisting that under no circumstances could anything ever be considered difficult about this game except as """artificial difficulty""".

Your unstable, delusional dumbass probably believes you just said something substantial and irrefutable lol. What would you call "literally inevitable team-wipe via back-to-back petrifying" if not "artificial difficulty?" It's not extreme artificial difficulty or really even "unforgiving", as it's easy to just restart the 20-second battle real quick, like I said. And you can save literally anywhere, anytime. But what little difficulty there is, is artificial nonetheless. Saying a game that was literally meant to be young children's introduction to turn-based RPGs is harder than FF7, let alone literal Emerald Weapon is just pure brain damaged retardation. Not to mention the final boss can be beaten in about 3 turns via the cure exploit. But he's still easy even if you don't do that. So yeah, your 0/10 idiot 'opinion' is invalid. Your generic, vague babbling leads me to believe you're talking out of your ass and just pretending you've played the game. That or you skipped a bunch of monsters and were under-leveled. A real dumb fuck either way.

It's unironically more consistent than ff7 seeing as ff7 shits the bed once you leave midgar, and they scraped the rest of the game together from about 6 different other unfinished projects.

When I was young, no one really said any game was bad. They may have said they didn't like it or it was too hard, but didn't really criticize the game itself. I guess it's just easier for children today to dismiss something as bad if they aren't interested in it or won't take the time to learn more about it. Kind of sad, but ignorance is bliss, I suppose.

There's one monster arena area where, if you do it as soon as you reach it, there's like an 80% chance the enemy will ohko you. So if you want to clear the place of its 10 enemies, you'll have to reset over and over. Very weird design.

It was released in a time where RPGs were not very popular. The idea was to make it accessible to people who were turned off by more complex mechanics. It makes sense that it was simple and shallow if you were alive at the time.

I don't know about that, though I do challenge the idea that JRPGs are hard. There are almost none that are, and none of the ones people tend to get excited about are difficult in any particular way.

If you grind the game is too hard for you.
