    Default Why do you like ffiv?

    I must have started this game four or five times and have given up everytime. Basically i didnt like how leveling up was nessessary to learning magics/skills etc. If you stay on a low level, you can't learn anything. This wasn't a problem for final fantasy v, vi, vii and viii, the other final fantasy's i played, as they had a system with ability points for jobs, espers, materia, and guardian forces etc

    So what kept you playing? I understand the story was good and the characters were good, but the actual gameplay is the most important. I enjoyed what i saw of the characters and story, but i didn't enjoy actually playing.

    It really depends on how you're playing it, FFIV can get really annoying at times, but it runs really smoothly with the plot, so there's no realy times where you HAVE to level ridiculous amounts in order to be able to go ahead with the game.

    It really depends how good you are at the game, I found the plot and characters highly enjoyable and worthwhile, but I really do need to play that game again.

    The gameplay in FFIV is pretty bad. FFIV: Advanced improves upon this, but unfortunately the ATB system makes the game ridiculously easy.

    But yeah, I guess the story line is the only reason you would play this game.

    It's just fun. Plus, it has cool characters and a great story

    Vaan - "Hey, you!"
    Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
    Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
    Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
    Fran - "....We could help...."
    Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
    Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
    Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

    Two reasons:

    1) it's the most cliched RPG ever concieved.
    2) it's the sappiest love story since FFVIII.

    The reason I played it was because I wanted to see what I've been missing for the past 15 years.
