I just can't see why anyone likes FF7. It has horribly written characters and an even worse story. I mean...I get it, it was probably the best thing in 1999~, and more than likely the first RPG that 90% of people played, but holy shit that game is straight up stupid.

Clear sphere's ain't the problem. The problem is not willing to catch 5 of every monster yet and not being able to kill that underwater boss because of no ribbon + rikku has trash equipment.

Yes I know about the Double/Triple Overdrive + Overdrive -> AP on sword with Overdrive set to gain overdrive on damage/teammate gets damage/dies (for characters who don't have quick hit yet). Auto-haste and auto-life on armor and then spam quick hit. Also I don't have Anima so I can't farm for magic sphere's yet.

WUT DO?!

Haven't defeated a Dark Aeon yet (even Dark valefor can kick my ass). Have HP-limit break on armor, auto-haste and auto-life for Auron, Tidus and Wakka. I have attack reels and ultimate weapon for all 3 (IIRC, I know they all 3 have atleast a break damage limit weapon). I'm maxed out on everything bar hp (around 20k), magic (100ish?), luck and maybe evade. Rest is maxed.

I don't think I can kill Dark Yojimbo yet.


BTW: This is from the top of my head, after about 2-3 years. I'll install my ps2 in my room soon enough.

If you maxed out everything, then you should have enough strength to deal 99,999 damage with each attack (just use the quick hit), I very rarely used Aeons towards the end of the game, so farming shouldn't be much of a problem.

Get Anima and the Magus Sisters as soon as you can though, because Aeons work as a wonderfull shield against the Dark Aeons' overdrives, without all the aeons the battles will be a lot harder.

Catching 10 of each monster is a pain, but it pays off. Id do that before stat first, but it's up to you. Also, maxing out luck is the most tedious part, but it's also the most useful. Don't bother about accuracy and evasion because with 255 Luck you will never miss (and always hit critical) and evade when possible. Having over 10k life is not necessary, but it depend on what strategy you use, I personally liked using (Auto Haste+Auto Protect+Auto Shell+Ribbon), although I always had one character with Auto Phoenix (whom would always have Auto Life cast on him) instead of either Auto Shell or Ribbon. HP Limit Break I only used a few times, but not against Dark Aeons. But I used Yuna though, so whenever I saw an Overdrive coming up, I summonedan Aeon to perform it's overdrive and then take the enemy's deadly attack... although I guess you could switch Tidus/Auron/Wakka for her whenever you see he is going to use it, and the switch back to your usual party.

Aslong as you have maxed stats, quick hit, the ultimate weapons and Auto Haste (and well, Auto Phoenix on one character, who should cast Auto lif eon himself), you should be able to take down most of the Dark Aeons without any problem (Bahamut, Magus Sisters and Anima require a more complete armor).

I loved 10, 7, 9, 6, 11, 14

I grew up playing FF6, renting it from the video game store nearby. I think during my childhood over 4 or 5 years I rented it, and each time my file was erased. I never had the money to rent it over and over again and being only like 12 I wasn't quite good enough at the time to beat it quickly. Each time I got further and further. One time I rented it and there was a file in the Ruined World, which blew my mind at the time because in my files the farthest I had gotten was getting the first Esper, which is only scratching the surface of the game.

Anyways, years later in high school I downloaded the emulator and played it. Amazing. Music, story, characters, and so many secrets to find... the FAQS for that game are just huge. It'll hold a special place in my heart, since it literally took about 7 years of playing before I finally got to play through the entire game.

After I beat that, I played 7, 8, 9, and 10, in a row (X was just released by the time I got to it). I liked them all, 8 the least, but it was still good, and it was the most challenging).

Maybe it is just me, but never have I put more than the required amount of time to beat these games. After I beat them (at 40-60 hours), I stopped playing. Didn't ever do all the extra stuff where you had to level up really high and kill all these secret bosses... until FF12. I did every single thing in that game, and put in like 110 hours on it. Fantastic. It was so fun. Story definitely wasn't the best, but I loved doing the monster missions and the other extra things. Music was good too. I especially loved this song in that snow area.

10 is my favorite. It's all a matter of opinion.
For me 10 is one of the best games i have ever played, i enjoyed it that much.

That's like saying ohh the original Mario bros sucked compared to super Mario 64. It's different platforms different generations. N I'm not sure how you didnt feed into the nostalgia of how much of a BAMF sephiroth was. That was my first ff game I played n I'd say next best was 10 then 9/8. But yeah if u weren't around for that release of ff7 then it probably wouldn't make the same impact on gaming as it did for my generation.

Tactics, as long as you patch over that godawful translation.

FF1 #1 forever.

FF6.
no other final fantasy ever has come close to being as good as ff6.
