Still cautiously optimistic about this one though.
I thought FFXIII-2 was loads of fun despite the crappy story.
FFXII-3 though is an incredible game. A contender for secret best FF game. The time limit put a lot of people off but all the systems worked together in a gloriously messy way and breaking those systems and the time limit were all part of the fun. Also it had near Platinum games levels of being gloriously stupid.
Tabitha who took over from Nomura when he was booted off the project has a made a name for himself in square by rescuing disaster projects and his team do really good real time battle systems. While they have made good games before they've never excelled and made something truly excellent but I'm holding out hope that this might be their chance to shine.

I'm quietly holding out hope for this, Pre-ordered it and the amount of content the team have shown has given me an optimistic view on their work. I was perfectly happy to hear him delay the game to get it that extra coat of polish before shipping so I'm hoping it's as good as I imagine.
I too was impressed by the FFXV Universe in it's offering of Kingsglaive and Brotherhood, I think the plot and characters have been set up sufficiently for me to want to get stuck in. The only thing that concerns me is hearing that it starts fantastically but gets a bit confused near the end, but a solid start should be enough for me to complete it

Hmm. Poor frame pacing us actually quite noticeable and cones across as stuttering performance

Eurogamer review was very poor. Marked down for a poor story, as if that ever mattered in a FF game. Messy mechanics as well but that's what I love about FF, messy broken battle systems that are great fun to break wide open.

Only 13 was bad (and not as bad as some people say). The last two FF games, FF13-2 and FF13-3 were great and excellent respectively.pumpkin4life wrote: »I think 7 and 9 are the joint best games in the series by a good bit. Go for 7 if you don't mind shìte 3d 20 year old graphics (though the FMVs still look good to its credit).
However, 10 might be the best place to start. It's very accessible, not too challenging and is fairly representative of the series as a whole; having one foot in the earlier games and another in the future games of the series.
Having said that, I think its the worst FF game since 4, though I'm fairly alone in thinking that I think.
I wouldn't recommend 7 or 10 to start out. 7 is a bit ropey at this stage. It's fun but a really uneven experience. 9 might be a better place to start, although I much prefer the SNES 4, 5 and 6 as a starting point but some people don't like the graphics (philistines). 10 has not aged well. Played through it recently and the linearity is really annoying and the end game content is very poor. It makes all the same sins as FF13 only not as badly.
I'd say FF15 is probably a good place to jump in at this stage. It's new, shiny and seems really accessible if it follows the Xenoblade formula it seems to have.
Also I'll have nobody say FF4 is bad, it's one of the best in the series!

I haven't bothered with a new FF for a while now but I saw a trailer for this in a store at the weekend and it looked pretty cool0 -
