RSS Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 There's this goal I have as a gamer, one which will help me understand a genre and franchise I've overlooked my entire life. On paper it's a simple goal, but in practice it will take hundreds of hours to accomplish. "This goal," you ask, "what is it?" I aim to beat every installment of Final Fantasy in order.

drqshadow Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Sounds like a great idea for a series! Hopefully my upcoming review for FFXII doesn't get in the way. If you've already played FFV, you've got nowhere to go but up. Far and away the worst of the series... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Sounds like a great idea for a series! Hopefully my upcoming review for FFXII doesn't get in the way. It won't "get in the way" at all. In fact this series isn't so much review-based, as it is more based on what I learn about myself as a gamer along the way and the "Hey, that was cool" / "I fucked up" moments. If you've already played FFV, you've got nowhere to go but up. Far and away the worst of the series... I liked V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Honestly, I've never played more than an hour of a FF game and never plan to. However, this experiment seems too fraught with insanity-inducing peril to not follow. Godspeed, sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Insanity? Indeed! Unless something changes, the next entry will be titled "I Should Probably Stop Now" or "Cutting My Losses" or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Robinson Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Everybody has different opinions of which Final Fantasy is the best and which is the worst. It sounds like a pretty interesting idea, although I imagine it will take quite some time to complete. I’ve always thought of going back and playing the Final Fantasy entries that I’ve yet to complete, but I doubt I’ll ever get around to it. I’m curious though, are you going to actively avoid reading reviews for the Final Fantasy titles while you play the series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Personally, I think VIII is the bastard child of all FF games, but that's just me. I shall definitely follow this series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 I imagine it will take quite some time to complete. Since the first six games are on handhelds, I can play them on the train to and from work. Couple that with time spent playing before bed and we're probably at about two hours per day. So I should be able to cruise through about a game a month. Once I'm through with those, however, things will hit a wall. Not only are the 3D games longer than their 2D predecessors (or so I've heard), they're also not portable. That time spent playing on the train is crucial to finishing this project, but I'll have to cope. I’m curious though, are you going to actively avoid reading reviews for the Final Fantasy titles while you play the series? While I'm not going to seek them out, I won't avoid reviews either.

JackFetch Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Edit: Nevermind, I just found the answer. I will say good luck though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bento Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 You've inspired me to join. Although I have played them... it's been a long time. My problem is, I sold my PS2 a while back so my experience will be limited =(. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
