Out of curiosity, what do FF fans generally consider the last "true" game in the series? 12?


No clue, I'm not an FF purist. X is my favorite and apparently that's the one where people really started to hate because it was linear compared to the previous ones (at least for the first half). The only ones I've really played VII, VIII, and X (For nostalgia weight purposes, X was my first and was played as a kid. VII and VIII were played as an adult).

I own all the games from 1-10 and am looking foward to playing VI and IX the most since those seem to be considered the "best," but I'll be shocked if anything tops X for me

I've dabbled in all the FF but never got too deep in them, probably playing XIII the most (the horror) because I probably enjoyed the paradigm system the most out of all the games.

That being said, for me personally all they need to do is get the music right and I'll consider it a true FF game

I've played every FF game since the first one and beaten 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10-2, and 15 (getting close on 16 also). Without question even after playing all of them, X is my favorite and I doubt any new ones will ever top it based on the direction the series is going. 6 is second place for me but in my opinion it still can't top 10.

Endgame content, with the Penance quest line and the Monster Arena (and getting everything captured to be able to farm the Original Creations and Nemesis) was phenomenal. On top of that, clearing and upgrading nodes on the sphere grid to go max stats on every character, plus the ability to max out all Aeons, is still probably the deepest delve of any single player FF title.

Replaying it now, it's definitely dated and corny but still a solid story. Felt like an empty but powerful ending, which they addressed in X2 if you had the patience and desire to get 100% completion. But just the fact that you can easily sink 200+ hours into a single playthrough and still have room to max out characters and summons, keeps me coming back to replay it again every couple years.
