Can one ever truly finish XIV?
As for me, I've played all of the main ones + Tactics, except FF3. I have not played any mainline sequels or general spin-offs, iirc. So here's what I have played and have not finished.
V (I think I probably got about 50% into it)
Tactics (quit at the boss fight at the chapel? Early on into the game)
IX (I think I had just started the 4th disc when my memory card crashed. I never re-started)
XII (I think I was about 2/3 into it? For the life of me, I cannot remember why I stopped. It is one of my favorite FF's. I plan to play ZA soon)
XIII (I believe I was on Ch8 or Ch9 when I realized I just wasn't having fun and stopped playing)
XV (I'm only a few hours into it, began playing at the start of the pandemic, iirc, but re-org'd my backlog. It's pretty high on my backlog priority list)
Yeah, kinda sad actually, how I dropped off the series in later entries. But, again, XII:ZA and XV are probably in the next handful of backlog games I play next.
edit update:
XV gonna stay on that list. I'm on Ch13 but god, the combat is so bad, especially now w/ the ring, I'll just watch the rest on YouTube. Good god, this game has killed all my excitement for Forspoken.
