You're fortunate I don't care that much about the franchise as a whole, especially not enough to argue past the Sepiroth fanart getting exhausting in its quantity in my Livejournal days.
I never played any Dragon Quest, i'm interested though since they seem to have stayed more true to the old school format than FF has. You have some recommendations?
With my nostalgia glasses on, DQ3 will always have a soft spot in my heart but 5 is usually considered the best of the 2D games. 11 is also amazing and all the QoL features made it frustrating for me to play any other RPGs for awhile
Even though i like X, its probably the only one that is overrated at all. I think most of them seem to be rated about right, except xii like i said.
I'll have to agree to disagree on blitzball though, its awesome. Definitely sucks at first until you fire most of the original team and recruit a bunch of ringers though lol
that's a good point. I think I've actually been able to enjoy without completely breaking it, but i sure as hell had to break it to enjoy it the first time
