/vr/ - Retro Games

There's a robot in the first game and fucking spaceships in 4.

>>10327545
Sure but there's a difference between the world's of 1 and 4 vs the world's of 7 or 15

Games are called Final Fantasy not medieval fantasy

>>10327557
That's the dumbest shit I've ever heard. The games were set in a very specific type of world for 5-6 games plus multiple spin-offs and then they abandoned it.

>>10327541
Well you could always try FF9

and play the Dragon Quest series

>>10327569
>you could always play a completely different series that doesn't have chocobos or cid or moogles or any of the things you love about FF

>>10327613
>or any of the things you love about FF

You said you wanted medevial fantasy jRPG, I give you 9-10 games of that. You've just decided you wanted to be unhappy, that's all.

>>10327560
games that had robots and other magical high tech creatures in them.

>>10327541
there is no shortage of dq rip offs. have fun.

>>10327541
FFVI is halfway in between, it's more steampunk than futuristic.

>>10327541
No one cares

>>10327839
FFVI comes off like a fantasy World War I era to me. I guess that's kind of steampunk. That period was a real clash of societies. You had technology and relatively modern cities but there was still a shit ton of empires and old school monarchies.

>>10327541
nobody cares what you like or your shit opinions
stop posting

>>10327860
>a fantasy World War I
Yeah that feels very accurate.
And in the beginning of the war they had the pointy brass helmets and fancy uniforms and a lot of things that felt more at home in the previous century, not yet adapted for modern warfare and its technological advances.

>>10327541
It's not really "futuristic". The whole point of FFVII is that it WAS a traditional Dragon Quest-style world until relatively recently when someone discovered they could crack Mana from the ground to use as fuel, leading to rapid industrialization, corporatism, and global imperialism.

You have these towns that look like something straight out of FFIV, but since a reactor was built nearby, the whole town becomes dependent on it as the center of their economy, just like what actually happened in the early 20th century with oil.

It's just Midgar that's a big dystopian city.

FFX and XIII are also "twists" on the medieval fantasy concept, not just futuristic for no reason. VIII is the only one that doesn't attempt to justify its setting, IMO.

You also still have IX, XII, XVI, and XI and XIV. Plus spinoffs like Tactics, Four Warriors of Light, and Crystal Chronicles. Plenty of stuff to enjoy outside of 6 "futuristic" games if you can even call them that.

how did the final anything get a sequel?

>The whole point of FFVII is that it WAS a traditional Dragon Quest-style world until relatively recently
That doesn't explain why so many characters wore modern looking clothes though. I blame Nomura for that.

>>10328168
>how did the final anything get a sequel?

It was just too good and came out at the perfect moment in Japan (RPG craze around DQ3's release), and its DND roots made it appealing to the US as well

>>10327541
I think you have good taste for enjoying 1-5, but that's such a weird thing to fixate on. Especially since 9 exists.

>>10327549

Yeah. The older games have advanced machines in them but those are built by ancient people or faraway people or some such. FF6 includes multiple societies that are CURRENTLY producing advanced machinery.

OP, you should still play that one though. It's got robots and a chainsaw in it but it still feels satisfyingly old-timey, not modern or futuristic. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of electricity or gunpowder or computing technology. Like somebody else said, it feels like steampunk, not like four guys driving around in a car while wearing black leather jackets or whatever.

>>10328217
Nobody cared about the roots. It sold in America because it came free with Nintendo Power subscriptions. Nobody would have cared otherwise.

>>10328409
I'll check it out, thanks anon.

>>10327541
Final Fantasy continued via Chrono Trigger and Xenogears

>>10328160
FFVI, Chrono, and Xeno were drafts of VII and looked a bit futuristic or modern

You got the wrong game pal

>>10328216
dont forget the my chemical romance posters

>>10327560
You're just mad you've been proven wrong.

What you should be saying is you don't like the theme of the games after 5.

OP sounds like one of those annoying little "genre" people who can't see the forest for the trees and are overly specific about the wrong thing, he is probably the type of person to say "cute em up" with a straight face.

>>10332580
i think op has bad taste, but cute em up is one of this board's few good memes, so credit where it's due op if you do do that

>>10327541
>they started introducing futuristic tech into the series. I don't like that
Agreed. This completely ruins the fantasy genre for me. It's not comfy anymore. The newer ones are even more soulless.

>>10332708
Bot post.

>>10327541
>but that seems to be when they started introducing futuristic tech into the series

Never read a reply past here you are a retarded faggot. Ever wonder why there is war mechs here? Its a motherfucking space station.

I dont care if you have playstation games you can just say that instead of being a dumbass who forgets about the ff1 space station and robots

>>10327549
>that seems to be when they started introducing futuristic tech into the series

>1 and 4 introduced futuristic tech into the series

>yeah but introducing THAT futuristic tech doesnt count


Great thread you stupid retards.

>>10333163
OP lacks the language to really get his point across, that's all.

>>10327541

OP is a fag

>>10333163
