FF1: A group of adventurers restore the power of four elemental orbs and close an infinite time loop.

FF2: A group of survivors of an Imperial attack join a resistance movement and kill the Emperor, only to face him once more as the King of Hell

FF3: A group of youths chosen by crystals set out to restore balance to a world on the brink of destruction

FF4: A conflicted knight and his entourage uncover a conspiracy to steal the world's crystals and discover an ancient civilization on the moon.

FF5: A world is temporally split to seal an ancient evil who begins their plan to reduce everything to non-existence, when a group of adventurers restore the state of the planet.

FF6: A meglomaniacal psychopath throws the balance of magic out of place, scars the planet, and forces a resistance group to destroy the source of all magic.

FF7: An eco-terrorist group tracks the spectre of a former elite soldier under the influence of an ancient space alien who intends to absorb the 'blood' of the planet by summoning a giant meteor.

FF8: A powerful sorceress attempts to cheat fate by compressing time into one moment using the unique abilities of a girl who can project people into the past when she is killed by a group of child soldiers who only became soldiers because of her actions.

FF9: Two Angels of Death are sent to a world to harvest souls to revitalize their dying world. One of the Angels gets amnesia, and saves the world because he wants to bone a 16-year-old princess. Everyone has an existential crisis.

FF10: A dream manifests itself as a blonde fuccboi and encourages a spiritual mortician to end a cycle of violence on the world.

Somehow not a single interesting story.

They should have made a sequel to 8 instead of 7. Its the one that literally already has the time travel shit built into the lore.

I tried to force myself to beat ff12 several times but I just cant do it. Its just so boring and tedious. I finished 4,6,7,8,9,10,13 but cant do 12. I just cant.

I'm more mad that the original idea for Dirge of Cerberus, was a shooter where you played as Laguna.

>>723687607
FF12 is a fun hunting RPG. As long as you're exploring the world and doing hunts, the game is fun. The main story is bland as porridge.

>>723687702
are you serious? That would have kicked ass! But from a business perspective, I guess I could see why they'd go with lame-ass Vincent.

>>723687607
Fair enough. 12 is my favorite, but I know it's not for everyone.

>Hypothetical: They make a game celebrating all the Final Fantasy minigames
>Execution: It's set on a luxury casino airship resort run by Setzer
>Games: Casino favorites like slots, poker, and blackjack, along with Triple Triad, Tetra Master, Blitzball, Chocobo Track betting
>MC: A cigar chomping moogle wearing a green casino visor.

Would you play?

>random groups of FF characters join you at tables for bants
Yes.

FF7 was so clearly the point the series went to shit, but everyone wants to pretend otherwise because it was their first JRPG and it had "muh graphics."

>>723687552
The sequel to 8 is 9 doofus it's literally in the title.

>>723687607
I did it on my twelfth try. That try it still took eleven months and that's while I sped through the main story and did nothing extra on purpose. You need to get fundamentally angry for not beating it to beat it.

>>723688979
As long as the prize isn't unreasonable, absolutely. It's what I've always hoped Blackjack would have in the remake. Also please add Chronobind; the secret best card game of the series.

>>723690590
which one had Chronobind?

>>723689731
1000% this

>>723687424 (OP)
FF16: The king of fire destroys the realm of ice, the king of ice has an affair with the queen of earth, the king of earth commits suicide, the queen of wind profits from the war and instability, and the child of light who is destined to balance the elemental forces is killed half way through the game, leaving his bodyguards to clean up the mess and wonder if they were any better off than when they started.

FF17: An invincible geomancer brutally assassinates certain individuals with a connection to the four elements, so that he may realign them for the purposes of killing himself, but a party of his victim's children turn the tables and cause him to be reborn as a moogle.

FF18: A group of retired soldiers are hired by a master clockmaker named Garland to seal a multidimensional rift created by one of his grandfather clocks, but one of the dimensions becomes more stable than their reality, setting the plot for FF1.

FF19: There's a giant brain inside the planet that forces unwitting groups of humans and monsters against each other for its own amusement.

FF20: A warrior from the past murders people from the future to prevent any of them from traveling back and undoing a bargain made by their ancestors to postpone all of winter until the end of time.

FF21: A sentient program halts a group of young idealists from freeing humanity from their dreamlike prison, as the people "stuck" inside are there on their own free will, because it's the only means of trapping three colossal espers that would otherwise eat all of humanity.

Weird samefagging

Can I get a recap of 12 to 15 (minus 14)
I only played 12 and I don't even remember the plot besides Balthier saying he's the leading man and something about upset at his family

Come up with some new material gramps

>>723693705
Not while you still respond to it, nigga

>>723687552
I started chuckling to myself at the idea of the first game in an FF8 Remake being just Balamb Garden

>Two Angels of Death are sent
I think only Zidane was sent, Kuja went on his own volition

>>723693509
Not really samefagging. To be honest, FF6 was the beginning of the end since its so different from the ones prior. It's most akin to 4 somewhat, due to the political ties to the plot, but the setting is clearly more steampunkish than the others, pushing final fantasy into the modern bishounen series it's known for today, FF7 was just the breaking point.

XIII-2 Sazh DLC.

>>723693070
Kojima hire this man

>>723694216
FF6 feels almost unfinished, but I guess people choose to believe the second half was implemented that way on purpose.

>>723693070
18 sounds kino, 20 sounds good if a bit confusing, 21 is carried by the espers. Cool premises overall

What does the Lifestream even do?

>>723699659
Power my TV

7, 8, and 10 were (7 and 10 in particular due to muh graphics) babbies first and are insanely overrated. 9 is the best out of the latter ones from the original decalogy.

>>723687552
8 is already a sequel to 3

>>723699807
9 is great. It has the highest quality writing out of any FF game by far

Always liked how FF, up until 7 at least, had a pattern with the odd/even entries

FF1: little story, but you can build a party with any class combo
FF2: more serious story, but you play fixed characters
FF3: less story/character emphasis, but more customization. job system debuts here
FF4: most serious story yet, back to fixed characters
FF5: lighthearted story, but a more expansive job system
FF6: you know the drill

>>723700339
6 is where it starts to fall apart, because while each character has a unique ability between relics and magicite you can start to build whatever
this is the same setup for 7, 8 and 10

also I think 2 breaks your pattern on customization. in 2 you can do whatever you want to the 3 and later 4 lads. 2 and 5 has essentially the same amount of customization

>>723699659
You,re mum.

Playing 9 for the first time rn, its awesome. Its reignited my interest in jrpgs for the first time in years.
Playing it really makes me sad that final fantasy isn't good anymore.

>FF5: A world is temporally split to seal an ancient evil who begins their plan to reduce everything to non-existence, when a group of adventurers restore the state of the planet.

The worlds merging was pure kino and literally the opposite of what would happen in the worse later games.

>>723689731
Based.
