>literally the most impressive intro on the hardware possible at the time

>hands down the most amazing atmosphere & ambiance delving into an undead city lost to ancient wizardry

>game has such an obtuse battle system with different weapon types & affinity nothing makes sense WTF is PP what's I/L/H?

>absolutely no voice acting at all despite resident evil having it

It really was an amazing gem buried under mounts of weird design choices,why didn't Masuno make more?

Because Square was run by retards and honesty should have ended FF after 7

Midnight bump

Still one of the coolest lines in vidya.

completed it like 10 times

Racing Lagoon mogs it in every regard.

Can't wait for Creative Business 3 to rape this game in a few years!

The system is not nearly as obtuse as people make it out to be but people are extremely stupid and moreover don't try to actually learn anything, despite the game having an extremely thorough tutorial and info menu as well as many simpler strats you can use to get through it.
It is, or should be, one of the most iconic games ever made.

People were ten when they played it and remember it being way harder to understand than Final Fantasy 7 and 8 were, and they just haven't gone back to it since.

>despite the game having an extremely thorough tutorial and info menu
to be fair the in game tutorial leads you to believe that the monster type and element matter as much as the blunt/slash/pierce stats when they're really just a bonus you add on top of your weapons using gems and spell buffs

>>718648020 (OP)
I remember losing interest because it got kind of repetitive and I also learned that apparently you had to play the game again to unlock a secret dungeon or something which pissed me off.

>>718653018
It needs QoL additions like the ability to hotswap weapons on the go ala MGS. I can put up with all the other weird jank but if you make it frustrating to interact with what's supposed to be a key component of your combat system then I'm going to have problems.
Speaking of which, a stealth fantasy game that plays like metal gear would be pretty cool.

it is in fact 7 that set them on the path to self destruction thoughbeit

Remake could be 10/10, no souls mechanics though.

>not VIII with its retarded system with them then trying to immediately correct the ship with IX and then perfect the formula with X

It's either the VIfags pissing their panties in anger for not reaching the same heights as VII or it's the VIIIfags always trying to start shit and not blaming it on the combat/system designer for it's convoluted gameplay or the shitty written forced romance of a dumb whore who flip flops between the protag and antagonist.

I remember the final boss took me almost an hour to beat because I was doing 1 point of base damage per hit. The fight was so drawn out that the boss eventually ran out of MP and I had to wait like 30 seconds for him to recharge MP each time he used a spell.

>>718648020 (OP)
They're getting creative because of the limitation of PS. also hate how it needs to access memory card everytime you open your chest

And he's not wrong, riskbreaker is literally one man army coupled with Ashley is the strongest riskbreaker in the game

who cares about voice acting you retard

>>718648020 (OP)
>absolutely no voice acting
that alone gives it a base 5/10 to build on

>>718648020 (OP)
Retardedly slow magic animations, it does look nice though yes

>>718654290
the exact same thing happened to me my first playthrough, all my weapons did 1 damage per hit lol
2 handed sword break arts still did good damage tho so i just used those

>>718648020 (OP)
Is this like the ONLY PS1 game you played?

>>718648020 (OP)
>absolutely no voice acting at all despite resident evil having it
It's a win you retard.

It's like my mother going to New York and suddenly every time we talk about America she always does it through the lens of New York

kino

i love this little area in the last dungeon
it's a great visual trick too, the room is tiny and the water is right up close to the edge but it looks like a huge cave

>>718648020 (OP)
No voice acting is a good thing.

>>718654290
Should've used the phantom point replenishing combo and phantom pain this asshole instead.

>>718648020 (OP)
Great game. Thought I understood the weapons system well enough, I used daggers because it had an attack rhythm that I was the most comfortable with. Big fucking mistake though, the final boss ended up being total aids because he was always just out of range from my dagger.

Ah, there's nothing better than chaining combos for 1dmg for 30 minutes straight against a boss.

As amazing as VS is, it is very clunky to play and was so even at the time. For a game that is very heavy on player experimentation they did their best job to make that experimentation process as slow and painful as possible. It never had a chance with Matsuno handling the main design of the game.

Now add the material base and you got the most crazy crafting ever
