<p>Okay maybe not every friday, but there's nothing wrong with dedicating THIS friday to FF.</p>
<p>Let's have some <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I699C5Vy8vI">good music</a> and then read this silly rant.</p>
<hr><p>Declan Dineen of the <a href="http://declandineen.com/checkpoints/">Checkpoints show </a> talked to me about being a new guy in indie development and my thoughts on creativity. Though it was a great chat, I realized we neglected to touch upon the most important recurring theme of Checkpoints: That Final Fantasy XII is by far the best Final Fantasy. So here is the rundown:</p>
<ul><p>FFI - hasn't aged well
</p><li> FFII - the same
</li><li>FFIII - the first good FF, but FFV is just a better version<br></li><li>FFIV - you like it cause of nostalgia, it's not good<br></li><li> FFV - despite a boring story, this is where we get the job system with ability mixing, so it's automatically fantastic<br></li><li>FFVI - good story, inspired setting, great music. No interesting battle system
</li><li> FFVII - the best story, materia system is fun. Good today, fantastic for its time<br></li><li> FFVIII - the one I havn't played enough<br></li><li>FFIX - a great mix of the being character and narrative based, while including a super fun ability system. Story starts out great, the shits its own pants when a spaceship appears
</li><li>FFX - just no
</li><li>FFXII - the best, despite a meandering story, that is better when you think back on it, than when you play it
</li><li>FFXIII - had fun, but 10 hours in I still hadn't finished the tutorial, so quit, because the story and characters were lame.
</li><li>FFXV - 9 hours in, really good.
</li></ul><hr><p>FFCC is good.</p>
<hr><p>FFTA2 &gt; Tactics Ogre &gt; FFT. Come at me, brah!</p>
<hr><p>So yeah, enjoy the weekend, play some FF and think of all the great adventures you've been through in those games.
