    FF XII aimed at grandeur and more mature, political storyline and I loved it for it. Orchestral sountrack only added to this feeling. I was actually avoiding overleveling my party in order to be forced to plan tactically and prolong battles so I could hear the Boss theme for longer ;)

    After playing Skyrim sometime after its release in 2011, I was looking for other games in the RPG genre and was recommended Final Fantasy XIII. Despite paying for all of them, not a single Final Fantasy game has compelled me to play the entire thing--aside from this one.

  • @cs82271

    Still going through my first playthroughs and honestly, playing in order has worked for me. Well, except I started with 15 when that came out. This order works because it gets 2 out of the way, and you obtain an early understanding that these games can and will differentiate. Only games I've struggled with were 8, because it just wasn't interesting, and 10 because I just couldn't keep up with the difficulty. Soured that game for me permanently. Currently on 13 and, well, the first hour fails to catch my attention. Ngl, this one looks awful.

    A world Map theme so good, it was reused in FF14, as part of the main theme for Shadowbringers, and became the theme tune for Gra'ha Tia (I feel like I spelled his name wrong). Eternal Wind (for me at least) is the best world map theme of any Final Fantasy game. It makes me smile, and cry, whenever I hear it. I got the chance to hear the Distant Worlds symphony orchestra play it live in the Royal Albert Hall, two years ago, and it pulled on my heart strings, almost immediately.
