only 9 is better than 5. 6 ties for third place with 7, and 8 is just god fucking awful. only game in the series 8 is better than is 2.

FF6 has much better characters. CT only has music going for it and a lack of random encounters. I think Lufia 2 is better than CT in nearly every way besides graphics.

8 below 5

I love that my enthusaism for the game is so strong you literally cannot process it as anything other than "shilling".

The internet does weird things to people's brains, man. Some of you start to assume that nobody can just genuinely be in love with something. Post-irony is a hell of a drug. If you've never been that excited to talk about something you love, i just kinda feel bad for you.

I only got into JRPGs recently so have no nostalgia attached. I like Chrono Trigger more than every FF (I played 1-10 except for 8 which I skipped because it looked shit)

It's like a Final Fantasy game but with much better pacing and a cooler artstyle

The need to showcase love for a game just because it's unpopular already sounds like contrarianism, which correlates with post-irony in the first place
>i just kinda feel bad for you.
Why do you need to? Sounds like projection.

I'm not talking about the game because I perceive it as "unpopular". I'm talking about it because I genuinely love it, and I enjoy talking about things I love. The internet has truly broken your brain. You can't even look at someone else's joy without trying to fabricate an agenda of some sort. Sad.

You seem to have a chip on your shoulder while talking about FFV. If you truly love it why would you need to shove it in everyone's face saying it's the best?
You need more substance in your arguments, not projecting your insecurities to people

Chrono Trigger is the mario bros of rpgs. Literally anyone can pick it up and play it because it's easy, has an appealing art style, and a well thought out and executed story.

Man this topic is so hard. I have this one single criteria in my mind and itโ€™s something like: if you could ask your game friend whoโ€™s never played any JRPGs before to play only 1 JRPG what would it be. All the final fantasy games 1-10 are great. DQ has some great entries. I love FF6,7,8,9 but I think if someone is completely new to the genre Iโ€™d have to give them FF1,4,5,7 or DQ8 or CT. From those I think FF4 is the easiest for beginners. I think FF5, 7 and CT are a bit more challenging, but close. Between FF4 and CT, CT has a way better story. Man is CT the best entry to JRPGs game? It might be.

Except that's not what OP is asking.

See, you're already prioritizing a game because it's easy for retards instead of focusing on what's actually the best.

Is this an American thing? When you're incapable of objectively comparing multiple things, you start focusing on arbitrary criteria you made up? Seems like how you pick your presidents, anyway, lmao.

Anything pre 2000s is out, except for Chrono Trigger. Maybe Super Mario RPG if it's a kid who has played Mario.

That's what people like about it. It's a game that just sort of sends you on a little pre-packaged adventure with amazing pacing and no need to stress about what characters to use or who to level.

I think I found the problem with this board. None of you faggots actually like video games. You're too busy just bashing the ones you hate. And you're not even bashing the games, you're bashing the people who like them.

Are any of you even capable of talking about a single game you like? Whenever someone does, they get accused of being a schizo. You guys are fucking weird.

This is a definite problem, but imo it is downstream from having too many low-functioning autists who have not developed theory of mind. Look at the frequency with which one sees subjective preferences described as โ€œx is objectively uโ€ and so on.

Doesn't seem very frequent at all. Most threads are just people calling someone else a faggot for liking something they don't, or trying to malign an entire fanbase, or more specifically, usually just bitching about reddit and their opinions.

I honestly wish this board had enough passion to behave like you claim. Instead it's just cynics and cunts who just want to bitch.

5 is inferior to 6, 7, 9, and 10. 6, 7, and 10 are masterpieces. 9 was a lot of fun. 5 is good but not great, and you can tell it was before Square really knew what kind of tone they really wanted to go for. Half the game felt like a comedy.
Anyway, if you think V is better than any of those you're a retarded faggot and you just want to be different. You're not, you're a baby back bitch and should kys

10 isn't even final fantasy, much less a good game(though to be fair it shows potential, but even the international sphere grid version is blatantly an unfinished game). thanks for letting me know to disregard your opinion out of hand.

I think the main problem is that there are so many points of entry one could take to get into RPGs and "RPGs" is such a catch-all that for one person who really likes one point of entry would be less able to appreciate an RPG focusing on a different point of entry.

For example a lot of people like Lufia 2 because of it's puzzle dungeons, but if you fucking hate constant, nagging, puzzles? Lufia 2 is going to be a slog for you. If you like the streamlined pacing and story-telling of Chrono Trigger? That's great, but if someone wants to build a character into what they want then CT doesn't have the appeal that an FFV or an FFT would have.

Like what do you prioritize when you want to kick back and have some fun?

If someone is busting their ass at work, school, with the kids, whatever... sometimes their mental energies are spent in such a way that they don't want to do a bunch of character min/maxing or bullshiting for meme builds... or perhaps they don't want a bit stupid cumbersome story, that's not even that great anyway, getting in the way of their character building, monster slaying, and loot gathering.

In a sense an RPG is like a sandwich and most people like the whole package thinking the sum is greater than the constituent parts, but god damn if you're tired of one of the parts? Just off mayo? Well then you don't want fucking mayo on your fucking sandwich and it doesn't matter if the sandwich is god's gift to gourmet dining, fuck mayo.

But you're not talking about the games you like.
You treat it as a competition, as if "this game is the best and you cannot convince it otherwise"
If you want a good discussion, or at least make people want to agree with you, give elaborate explanations that exacerbate your main points
