Best final fantasy?

[Busyman]

Some have said certain RPGs were dogshit. When was that realized?

Congratulations, you asked the question properly this time.

So to answer. I don't think I've ever completed a game I didn't like from any genre. But with respect to RPG games I've completed some of them and thought, "Gee, the end to this story sucks balls". That's mostly the Japanese ones to be honest, you expect all the loose ends of the confusing plot and storyline to be tied up but it never is. I'm guessing the story doesn't translate. That's not to say I didn't enjoy the game itself just that the story ending was anti-climatic.

Though to be fair the endings for a lot of computer games suck, Half Life 2 springs to mind.

Translation: The question had enough sugar for you.

When you complete an 80-hour RPG it's really, if anything, the ending that would suck.
--------------------
Are there any other of you turn-based RPG players that finished a lengthy game and the game, not the ending, sucked ass?

Suck ass endings are quite common in any genre so that pretty much goes without saying (yet I said it ).

Did you ever try the Shining Force games on the Megadrive? Those were great games, tactical turn-based combat at its best with an engaging storyline. Worth playing on an emulator if you get the chance, they are defiently a part of RPG history. I think some sequels came out for the later Sega consoles but I had grown out of consoles by then.

yes, and i still own all 3 in mint condition. missing scenario II & III of III though. stupid regions. GREAT games though none-the-less!!! also, the ps2 recently released another shining force. i WILL get it will it cums down in price.

someone also mentioned phantasy star. those were the sega dragon warrriors. notice, i didn't say final fantasy... i still own all 4 phantasy star games also. mint condition. i have phantasy star online I, II & III too. phantasy star is GREAT. phantasy star II was BEST! III was dogshit. remake of I should be cummin' out sometime.. sega? be nice for a V though...

Yeah, I liked Phantasy Star II as well. Took me a weekend to complete that, which meant I could take the game back to the store for a refund.

I seem to recall that some of the later Shining Force editions are around to download, I suppose with an emulator they might be playable.

I'm a FF8 fan,
I did try the others but after playing 8 just could not better that for me.
Damn I've had the game a long time.
I've only replaced two games from my PS2 collection, GTA/SA, & FF8
