I've heard that they've basically smoothed out all of the sharp edges and all the good stuff is in the endgame. Unfortunately, it already feels really sluggish so I hope you're right.This is understandable.
One of the unfortunate side effects of increasing the level cap and adding new skills every expansion has been the need to prune, remove, and combine older skills so that the gameplay is still manageable, especially for controller players. This has hit lower levels the hardest since the new skills added are usually high level. At this point, the Lv1-50 skill kit for every job is so basic and feels sluggish since you have almost no abilities (oGCDs) to weave between your weaponskills (GCDs).
IMO most jobs don't start to have what resembles their full, complete kit until around Lv60.
I wouldn't say all of the good stuff is only at endgame. I would say generally the classes start coming into their own around level 50 or so, the end of ARR. By that time, they mostly have an established identity. After that, they continue to build on it and add cool new stuff, but you shouldn't have to wait until 80 for classes to start feeling a little better.I've heard that they've basically smoothed out all of the sharp edges and all the good stuff is in the endgame.

I'm playing FFXIV right now (at this exact moment, actually) and while I do enjoy its gameplay, it's not even close to most other FF games. I can't imagine they play it for the gameplay. Maybe the social aspect? I don't know.
Thank you for taking the hits on this opinion. I got your back.It's XV for me. For all its flaws it had a really nice and emotionally resonant ending. No other Final Fantasy besides X made me feel that way. X would be my runner up.
Ehhh, you're right 5 doesn't have much of a story. I'd say they are pretty even on music but I think it's a much better game.

One of the few times where the bad guy completed a huge goal, halfway through the game. I remember my mind being blown away.
The characters were all great and the fucking music, good god the music. I sometimes play the world map music on loop for my entire drive home.
People unironically picking original 7 have never played the SNES games. 4,5, and 6 just destroy it from every angle.
Materia is cool tho.
This just reads like "people who don't like my favourite game aren't as intelligent as me".People unironically picking original 7 have never played the SNES games. 4,5, and 6 just destroy it from every angle.

I just think 7 is kind of a bad game. It's not like a crazy opinion or anything.This just reads like "people who don't like my favourite game aren't as intelligent as me".

You are absolutely entitled to your opinion.I just think 7 is kind of a bad game. It's not like a crazy opinion or anything.
There's really nothing wrong with what I said, but ok.I mean, if you just didn't like 7, you could have said that instead of:
I've beaten all these games, give me a break. Played that shit as a teenager, come on now. Got the damn PS1 collection discs with the OSTs and everything.People unironically picking original 7 have never played the SNES games. 4,5, and 6 just destroy it from every angle.

It's inflammatory for no reason lol. There are loads of people who prefer 7 and have played the snes games.
That's exactly how it reads lmao.This just reads like "people who don't like my favourite game aren't as intelligent as me".

It was an offhand remark. It's not any crazier than other opinions in this thread, some people just get overly emotional about ff7.Thinking IV/V/VI is better than VII or that VII is not a good game is a valid opinion.
Saying "If VII is your favorite you never played IV/V/VI" is just a stupid take. It goes beyond the realm of your opinion to say other people's opinions are wrong or not as valid as yours. Along with that, you're being kind of obnoxious to think that most people itt never played IV/V/VI ffs.
I played IV, V, VI and VII atleast 3 times each, in a lot of different versions, and imo VII is the best game out of those 4. In a hardcore forum like era, it's probably the case with most FF fans.

I don't think it's a very good game, and it's surprising to me that twenty some years later, some people still Stan it. It's not that big of a deal, not sure what the fuss is about.
