I'm surprised FF X made the list and FF 7 didn't. And yes, put some respect on Suikoden! akira87, JessicaAlba, and 1 other liked this post

but then again, the credibility of IGN game reviews is very questionable in recent years. they are becoming more & more biased, less professional than they use to be.

For me top 3 Suikoden II > Breath of Fire IV > Chrono Trigger
FFX is not within my top 25, story wise not strong... though i really like To Zanarkand that i took time to practice the complete score on piano. Special mention is FFT, FF8, FFIX which i replayed 3x although no such NG+ Persona 4 > Persona 5 Also longest playing is FFXIV.. damn casual with no gear progression cockblock... though it dont fit in this category This post has been edited by lee_lnh: May 13 2025, 03:33 PM |

They dont make good shit like Breath of Fire IV, Legend of Dragoon, Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross.
The last 2 is exceptionally good in story telling and gameplay...why Square Enix can't make this kind of good stuff anymore? Good ol childhood, I've played these games like more than 10 times when I was young. Keep replaying after a while. This post has been edited by Duckies: May 13 2025, 03:44 PM |

Topkek FFX
But don't know why so many of you here even bother to mention FF8. I think it is only marginally better than FFX. FF7 is overrated but it does have it's place looking at the scale it reached. Best should be FF6 but fuck 2D and it's IGN right |

QUOTE(Chanwsan @ May 13 2025, 11:49 PM) Topkek FFX FF8 had that sweet spot on difficulty for first timers, a short complete story without any convulated sideplots and a simple happy ending. Faye Wong's Eyes on Me is top 5 in FF songs.But don't know why so many of you here even bother to mention FF8. I think it is only marginally better than FFX. FF7 is overrated but it does have it's place looking at the scale it reached. Best should be FF6 but fuck 2D and it's IGN right in terms of budget, FFX had a much bigger production value with the power of PS 2, making the emotional ride, a longer & more fleshed out journey for every character in the game. |

I love Golden Sun.
I played for like few hours but not managed to finish the game. Aside for that, I also like Final Fantasy III but I played the remake ver on PSP. Also not managed to finish the game due to corrupt savedata. Old school RPG is still the best. I will take them over whatever new games we have now. |

QUOTE(-PuPu^ZaPruD3r- @ May 14 2025, 11:01 AM) Part 2 is better than 1 lah.. Part 1 storyline and voice acting not that good.. Have u played the prequel Koudelka ? That's my favourite PS1 game By the time i finish SH1 and 2, sudah tak larat go back to PS game due to graphic. lol. Besides, i am too poor to buy ps1 that time.Shadow Hearts 3 is rubbish.. I didn't like it In reverse, i think SH1 has better storyline and more meaningful connection to Koudelka. The opening is still very fresh in mind. SH2 is more like a longer epilogue for Yuri to die, with a weird antagonist and weird side quests. If i didnt play SH1, i will like SH2 more. Wouldnt compare voice acting cause this stuff is usually progressively better as game advances. |

yes my favourite Final Fantasy X got at 3rd place!
bought PS2 specifically to play this game back in uni days last time. PTPTN extra money well spent! LOL actually i bought FFX International version, the ahem ahem disc at Sungei Wang Plaza last time of course. Uni student aint got enough money to buy original maa fighting those Dark Aeons can be tough. i remembered beating Dark Bahamut took me nearly ~1 hour alone |
