It used to be a trade-off between 6 and 7, depending on the day and my mood. But as I get older, I find myself craving 7 more than 6. And I'm not entirely sure why. But regardless, the only other game in the series that compares to those two to me is 12, and I don't actually crave that game very much since I took a break from it and then they immediately announced an HD version on the horizon. I'll have 7 and 12 on my PS4. I'll be happy..
Wrong thread, Vyk, this ones about non-numbered games :p
Crystal Chronicles might be my favourite multiplayer game of all time and is definitely one of the best examples of lore based story telling.
That's what I get for leaving it open all day before getting around to replying.. Thanks lolQuote:

Crisis Core or Tactics.....(Tactics)
I've sadly never played a Tactics game, so... Crisis Core. Some storytelling inconsistencies and the entire character of Genesis / Gackt aside, it's a good game, and it's fun to revisit and expand upon some iconic moments alongside a helping of solid hack 'n slash gameplay.
I was so tempted to just put "Dirge of Cerberus, fite me m8" but it's too early to completely destroy my reputation here.
Dirge of Cerberus has a very solid story, despite lacking on the action game part. For a Final Fantasy VII that was not written by Nojima-san this is a very well written one. Making good use of characters that were not used so much in the original, exploring Vincent's backstory, using characters that also appear in Before Crisis. Making use of Vincent's arch nemesis by letting him survive by virtualizing his consciousness, leaving little hints for Genesis - Dirge of Cerberus is fine.Quote:

There's certainly a lot more that I like about it than most FF fans seem to, but I mostly see it as a whole lot of good-to-great ideas (both story and gameplay-wise) smothered in forced edginess, inconsistent execution, and general wasted potential. I was mainly name-dropping it for the joke.Quote:

XIII-2. The music is fantastic, I enjoyed the monster mechanic, Caius is one of the best antagonists in the whole franchise, and it's so delightfully melodramatic/nonsensical. In a good way because both things are clearly intentional.
Did that explain anything? No. GOOD!
Also dat soap opera music.
XIII-2 has several flaws of course but it's so refreshingly different from XIII.
This. It's definitely Tactics for me.Quote:

Honorable mention to Lightning Returns.
