Well let's see... It doesn't have a number next to its name (which that right there is checkmate for the whole "main numbered series" thing), the FF games are JRPGs and FF Tactics is a SRPG, and FF Tactics is considered a spin off. None of these things take away from the quality of the game itself, but it is easier to compare games in the same genre, which FF Tactics is not.
In recent years, I began liking Final Fantasy X more and more. I have a lot of issues with some of the weird characters (Waka, Tidus, the ninja girl) but it's pretty decent plot wise and has great gameplay.
I played it on emulation like a month ago. Holds up well.
FFX is my favourite one. Just about everything was amazing...except for Tidus laugh....oh that laugh....
Quite a few FF's are a lot better when you revisit them when you are older and wiser so to speak. IX in particular is a lot more sci-fi when you get to disc 3 and discover Zidane comes from Earth and the whole game is the far future, terran humans died out and left artificial people to recreate the world but earth/terra couldnt support life so they decided to engineer wars that kept gaia as a permanent state of medival tech that would fuel the lifa tree with life force to facilitate terraforming gaia into terra while never letting them get close to the power of terran vessels like Invincible. places like the 'ancient temple' on the forgotten continent for example is actually a crashed spacecraft from the original team sent to infiltrate gaia and begin the takeover. which as a kid i never noticed and assumed it was just a straight attempt to make FF like its earlier versions and drop the sci-fi elements of 6,7 and 8 but when you go back and look its not as clear cut a picture book fantasy as it seems.
But looking back at things like Black Mages and the artificial people and the theme of "whats real and whats just fake pretending to be real? or is there a distinction at all?" it kind of makes a lot more sense.

So ff13 3 is out and everyone says it's s much better port than the others and the delay was worth it. Constant 60fps and runs like butter.
Currently playing 13 2 and disliking the story. Though I like the mechanics. Time travel story's are dumb when it's the main plot. The plot could of worked 100% without the traveling through time. Small quantities is fine like noel from the future, but going to different times and then making alternate timeliness can fuck off

I received a day one ORAS demo code. I am a chosen one.
I feel like I'm one of the few who appreciated 12.
