Was Final Fantasy really THAT amazing before the Square Enix Merger? Like i see everyone saying it was the best series ever behind Zelda

All of the top tier games, bar XII, came before SE.

Yes, final fantasy good games ended with 9, after 10 its nu-ff gayass shit

just play one of them, faggot
though I gotta admit most of them are overrated

and on a side note, zelda games have always been trash

Yes, it was literally untouchable. They were releasing masterpieces basically every year (Aside from FF8 which sucks)
> Final Fantasy VI (96) (1994)
> Final Fantasy VII (92) (1997)
> Final Fantasy Tactics (89) (1998)
> Final Fantasy VIII (90) (1999)
> Final Fantasy IX (94) (2000)
> Vagrant Story (92) (2000)
> Final Fantasy X (92) (2001)

VIII is the one FF that will be remembered long after video games cease to exist.

FF8 is fantastic

The Enix merger killed all their games for me, except FFXIV which is actually based with a non retarded director. A fucking MMO is the only Final Fantasy game I like today, that is sad.

It's already forgotten. It's the only FF game not to get a Switch port, for one.

6 and the PS1 trilogy are considered some of the best JRPGs ever made. It should also be noted that Squaresoft was just an absolute powerhouse at the time, pumping out classic after classic. It was the golden age of console role playing games and it seemed like Square would never stop riding that high wave of big budget role playing games that were beloved by all.

Then they produced The Spirits Within and spent everything they had on it, it bombed, Enix had to bail them out, and they've never quite recovered.
