I have two. First, I’m in the VIII > VII camp. To be fair, I played FF8 before playing FF7 (though I’ve been playing FF since V), so the downgrade in visuals really hurt. I also don’t get what’s the deal with the Squall hate. Sure, he’s a bit whiney at the beginning, but you can really feel his growth. Same with his relationship with Rinoa (that’s her name, right?). I could see those two falling with each other in a more believable way than other jrpg ships.

Second one, V is better than VI. Sure, VI has higher production value, and arguably a better story, but the class system in 5 was top jrpg system in the snes era. I also felt more closely attached to the small cast of V rather than with the gigantic cast of VI (I honestly cried in the aftermath of Galuf vs Exdeath). Again, V was my first FF, so that may be nostalgia talking. Though I recently replayed with a patch that improves the class system, and it was a banger of a game. Plus, Battle on the Big Bridge.

Feel free to fight me.
