    It's interesting seeing this next to Final Fantasy IX in duels, since IX has that classic party structure while this one throws you into a whole roster of jobs and clans instead. I always end up voting for IX but I get why people compare them.

    I only put maybe fifteen hours into it total, spread over months, but comparing it to Final Fantasy III on handheld, this one felt way more patient with the player. III throws you in and expects you to adapt fast, this one lets you build slowly.

    The mission structure feels padded when you play it now, lots of small fetch style tasks between the actual story missions, and that drags the pacing compared to how tightly other entries are built.

    las leyes tambien me sacaron de quicio pero el sistema de clases me hizo aguantar mucho mas de lo que pensaba...

  3. SilentMaster

    The clan and job system holds up well, but the story feels thin compared to other entries in the series.

    IronRider

    El sistema de clases me convenció, las leyes menos, y al final ni gano ni pierdo la discusión.

    am I the only one who thinks its ranking is a bit generous for how repetitive the missions get after a while?

    GlitchPilot

    Le mot repetitive résume bien mon souvenir, sauf que je trouvais que ça marchait justement parce que chaque mission courte laissait le temps de digérer le système entre deux sessions.

    DavidRider

    tb me pasó algo similar, las leyes cambian sin avisar y arruinan la estrategia que llevabas preparada

    anyone else notice how often it ends up in duels against much bigger names? feels like the ELO undersells how many people actually voted for it.

    ArcadeHunter

    Claro, porque el ELO nunca se equivoca, solo refleja perfectamente cuántos votantes tuvo cada duelo sin ningún sesgo posible.

    Never finished it, only got through the early chapters, but even then the law system stuck with me more than most full games do.

    I remember trading save files with a friend who was way further in than me, and comparing our teams like it was a big deal. Looking back I think Final Fantasy IX gave me a stronger memory of that same summer somehow.

    Maryse_49

    Je comprends le souvenir, mais le rythme d'apprentissage compte aussi, pas seulement l'été passé dessus.

    Lo jugué hace tantos años que ya ni recuerdo bien los detalles, solo que pasé tardes enteras con las misiones de gremio, y ahora cada vez que veo este debate sobre las leyes me da una pereza terrible entrar otra vez a discutirlo con todo el mundo.

    IronWolf

    Je le défends justement pour ça, on jouait en douce sans se faire prendre, ce genre de souvenir compte plus que le scénario pour moi.

    Sneaking play sessions is fun, sure, but next to Final Fantasy IX the story just never grabbed me the same way.

  9. Philippine_46

    Bon système de classes, mais une histoire qui reste en arrière-plan tout le jeu.

  10. ComboWarden

    Face à Final Fantasy IX il perd presque toujours dans mes votes (les lois n'aident pas à s'y attacher autant).

    Harvey73

    Do the laws actually ruin runs for most people, or is it more that they make you replan a battle you'd already figured out? Those feel like different complaints to me.

  11. LuckyRider

    On y jouait en cachette pendant les cours, l'écran caché sous le pupitre. Je ne me souviens plus vraiment du scénario mais l'ambiance restait particulière.

  12. Paola_1997

    Nunca entendí por qué tanta gente lo defiende tanto (a mí me pareció bastante frustrante desde el principio) las misiones se repiten demasiado y las leyes rompen el ritmo constantemente

    McClure30

    Same happened to me right before a boss fight, so annoying

    gdicki

    Replying to ComboRunner

    I get the frustration, but I never had that problem, mostly because I always kept a backup save before big fights just in case.

    ComboRunner

    Totalmente, yo lo dejé a mitad porque una ley me impedía usar magia justo cuando más la necesitaba, y ahí lo abandoné.

  13. QuestKnight

    pourquoi on le sous-estime autant alors qu'il proposait un système de classes bien plus riche que la plupart des jeux de l'époque ? les lois divisent, ok, mais le reste tient encore bien la route pour moi

  14. Samuel_75

    la ley del turno me arruinó más partidas de las que puedo contar y aun asi seguia jugando como un idiota

    Ghost_Archuleta

    entonces todos los que lo defendemos jugamos mal o simplemente no coincidimos con tu experiencia
