So more insanely difficult piano pieces to learn.
Signature v3.0, now with 42% less memory usage.
even if the game mechanics are old and have evident flaws).
Like de-leveling? Having to wait 10 minutes while "resting" to gain your HP/MP back? I've never before been so disappointed in a game that could have been a lot of fun if it weren't for things like that.
Posts not to be taken literally. Almost everything is sarcasm.
A lot of people beg to differ.
Final Fantasy VII was arguably the most popular of the Final Fantasy series.
I've heard from several people, who've played both VI and VII, and most of say VI was better in most aspects, but VII was very close.
I wouldn't had minded if you had said "Final Fantasy went downhill after VII", because I deem VIII and IX both failures (yes I know people disagree with me on VIII, but it just never catch on to me). X was great though, imo, and is on my second place, whereof X-2 isn't even on my list. It's toilet paper mostly. Haven't tried XI, and got very disappointed with XII. Not sure why, but it didn't appeal to me the same way.
So in conclusion, I'd agree somewhat if you shifted the version one up.

FF9 was awesome, it had a pretty rich storyline and decent execution. 8 had a good storyline too, but sort of wonky with this wizard from the future bit; the main antagonist was mostly a faceless being hiding behind a banal character. In 9, you had several antagonists (Queen Brahne, Kuja, Garland), all active; the characters had depth, and lacked sanity. Kuja was like Sephiroph, but actually aware of wtf was going on and just on a huge ego trip instead of just being nuts.
