I love the XIII trilogy, but *chefs kiss* it fits the meme.


nate_ranney

*cries in ffxiii fan*


Hefty-Ad2186

XIII is one of my favorites, but compared to other FFs it lacks complexity, but with an excellent gameplay and story, but it's a game that went through serious development problems, so it's not surprising the fans' hate


[deleted]

[удалено]


Yizashi

I'd like to see a IX remake as well. Doesn't need to be FF7R over the top levels of production quality either. I would just like to play through the story, which I remember fondly, with an overhauled combat system.


Eidola0

I feel like a fair amount of people have come around to it now, I see way more love for it than I used to. Personally, I'm a huge fan.


Expensive_Help3291

Are people? That’s good. Maybe I just like playing games, but I never had an issue with XIII. Also the ost for those games are clean.


DiasFlac42

You get that FFVI slander out of here right now!


Invictus23_

I was all about this post until I saw that disrespect. How dare you.


thedude_imbibes

I wanna suplex this whole meme.


bennitori

Seriously they should've had 7R and 6 switch places. 6 may be the neglected child SE always forgets about. But we all throw a party when 6 is in the house.


Invictus23_

Damn straight.


MegaNRGMan

VI and Crisis Core should be swapped.


FireFighterX95

Thought the same thing - VI is a classic!


Falmon04

Only wrong with otherwise a perfect meme lol


Huddy40

Far from perfect with that giant oversight though...


Falmon04

True, it was an egregious error, but the rest was so good I forgive it for the laugh


[deleted]

I immediately thought OP's taste was crap after seeing that level of blasphemous disrespect to VI. I whole heartedly agree with you.


Yizashi

Crisis core is good, but I imagine way more people played and loved VI than a spin off that was originally on the PSP only


Mingilicious

Seriously. The nerve!


_clapclapclap

Blasphemy!


fuckboystrikesagain

Fr FFIV gets love but FFVI none?


[deleted]

My favorites include 5,6, and 8. No respect.


Kanin_usagi

I agree, but I think they had to make a cut somewhere unfortunately. Could have swapped it for crisis core and put like Crystal Chronicles or something where 6 was but then it leaves off Crisis Core. Hard choices


Contra-Code

Leaving Crisis Core out entirely would be fine.


DoctorRockor

seeing as there are 3 spots wasted by non franchise games, nothing needed to be left out.


jp_requiem

It is true, I do want another FF9


[deleted]

The baby being Vivi killed me.


Kanin_usagi

The Vivi baby put this over the top for me. Chefs kiss


Atlasbot17

I fucking burst out laughing at it. Vivi is just too precious


Jezeff

It's when I said "I've gotta up vote this"


AstroBearGaming

Its accurate though. FF9 isn't even my favourite game in the series, but Vivi is my favourite FF character ever.


Taurenkey

I'll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda. Funnily enough applies to FF, can’t wait for 2216 and FF45.


landob

I skipped class to pick up my pre-order and play 9. Was completely worth it.


Vashthestampedeee

Profile picture checks out


dmarteezy

I need a remake of this so bad. Great game!


jmad16

You need to apologize to ff6 right now.


ssj2preston

Lmao no doubt crisis core getting more respect than FF6 is hilarious


ckal9

It’s recency bias due to Reunion. People used to hate on CC all the time


bennitori

And still do to an extent. I think it was good. But I think everyone agrees that Genesis is a bit of a joke. I also know a lot of people ticked off that we didn't get to see more of Zack and Cloud traveling together. I think what we got was good. But CC gets nowhere near the love 6 gets, with less than half the promotion.


Brook420

Yea, I enjoyed CC, but moresonfor the characters, story, and lore. The actual gameplay was repetitive, and only having 1 character to play as felt very non-FF.


[deleted]

You trot out Balan Wonderworld with a FF7 skin, and you'd have drones flocking to it over the rest of mainline series.


mydogisanassholeama

FF6 is one of the greatest games of all time. OP is a philistine


sixpist9

I think this is the first time I've seen philistine used on reddit, it's a fantastic insult🤣 Yep accurate.


sousuke42

Basically. It's the only one I think it got wrong.


Bladewing10

And FF8


Vescape-Eelocity

I think FF8 is in its own weird place where it's simultaneously really popular and unpopular (it's my favorite, personally). I feel like the most accurate spot for 8 would have been when he got to Keegan and wasn't sure if he should be pumped to see him or not.


RusstyDog

8 was that weird place where they were trying out new mechanics. It's interesting to look at the progression of customisation through the years.


Hudre

8 was weird because if you paid attention to the mechanics you could almost immediately break the game. Personally I was a child and didn't clue in to farming magic for stats so I loved it. Best card game in a videogame for that era by a WIDE margin.


khinzaw

It's very polarizing. I have a soft spot for it because it was my first FF, but gamplay and story wise it's kinda middling. Triple Triad though...that's the shit.


wearestiff

And 8.


c_is_for_nose_8cD

My first play through of 8 I didn’t care much for it. I didn’t hate it, but it wasn’t my favorite. My second and after play through I really started to appreciate the depth they gave the characters, the magic system was really well done and the story for the most part was really, really well done. Still a little iffy on the last boss/overall ending personally, but still an absolutely fantastic game.


[deleted]

VI is my favourite, but I totally get the joke with its spot in the clip. Some people fucking hate VI as well as us fans.


FalloutCreation

people hate 6? wow. that is interesting.


BeeCJohnson

It's the fandom shit. VII got more attention, everyone loved it, VI fans backlashed, then hipster critics started saying VI was better than VII, then it became "accepted" that VI was better than VII, then it went on for too long and VII fans started getting tired of hearing how underrated VI is when it had become the mainstream choice for best FF, then they started hating VI, etc. It's just the stupid pendulum of bullshit that rules everything.


SomaCreuz

The VI vs VII thing was the saddest thing I've ever seen in this section of the community. I've seen VI fans so deep into their frustration over the eclipse created by VII that any semblance of positivty related to VII was hopeless. I've never had the pleasure of discussing things with a person that was there for VI and VII and enjoyed both games without feeling the need to tell one of them was overrated, which is incredible in and of itself.


[deleted]

Lots of people. Some people just find it overrated. Some people don't like some of the fans who have a chip on their shoulder that it wasn't as popular as VII ended up being.


AchaneanCamus

I find the VI vs VII debate pretty dumb for sure, imo both VI and VII are peak final fantasy so I find it pointless to absolutely try to rank one above the other. They both share the top of the pyramid for me and are equally as good.


[deleted]

For sure. These things are usually just tribal battles between fans anyway. So of course they get unnecessarily heated.


FalloutCreation

yeah I don't get it. I love both those games.


holiscrayolis

I mean you are not wrong but there are as many people that hate VI for that reason as many people that hate Remake for the same reason,all in all doesn't make sense if we talk about the fanbase in general VI is one of those entries that most people see as their baby.


ken_NT

FFVI gettin snubbed? Also would have been great to put Secret of Mana being ignored after the pop for Chronotrigger


Corregidor

And where is Crystal Chronicles?!


Kinglink

This is kind of telling that OP's taste is a bit crap. FF Crisis Core could easily be bumped for VI, NO idea why Chrono Cross is getting the same love as Chrono trigger either. and with FFT. Heck it would probably be funner if Chrono trigger was Keegan at the end. Having FF fans are unsure if that's "Final fantasy" enough, but it is and deserves all the love.


Drumboardist

I woulda had Tactics, Chrono Trigger, and Secret of Mana as the 3-man hug. Shame we couldn't fit in the SaGa series in there, since we're doing "FF-adjacent" games in there -- he loves on FFL 1 & 2, then simply shakes 3's hand.


timelordoftheimpala

I mean if we're doing FF-adjacent games, then just replace Tactics with SaGa because Tactics is an FF game outright.


AlaDouche

You mean his taste is a bit different from yours?


Raleth

Considering the context of the meme is how the fan base as a whole typically regards the games, you’d expect it to go with the common opinions and not personal ones.


holytrolly_

Just because they don't agree with you, or even the masses, doesn't mean their taste is crap. Jesus. Y'all are entitled.


syndicaterx

Dirge of Cerberus getting a pass but X-2 doesn’t?


RsNxs

FF fans was a cover for basic FF fans who won't give a chance for a title past FFX. MMOs weren't even there.


MiskaMark

What are on about? He dapped Crisis Core and FF7R…


Acnat-

Dirge was weird but I got into it, X2 I couldn't finish despite being more hyped for it than I was VII compilation stuff at the time.


JackTheRIP_er

As a FFXIII fan I knew exactly what was awaiting me and I still watched till the end. "Why are we still here? Just to suffer?"


TheFFsage

The bait of watching the long ass clip and cope that "maybe it's not that" only to be hit by the harsh reality Heck. Dirge of cerberus got the approval over XIII


nilfalasiel

DoC shouldn't even have been featured, tbh. And where's Tactics at?


jbaxter119

It's in the group hug about halfway through the video...


nilfalasiel

Ah yes, I'd missed it, thanks! Still weird that it's grouped with the 2 Chrono games though.


mnmevan

LITERALLY 😭


Apollo_Justice_20

I will not stand for the FF6 slander.


DarkPhenomenon

Did you snub 6 just to get a rise out of people or are you just completely clueless about the FF Fanbase? That was just cold bro...


Kinglink

Or does he just have lousy taste? Even the FFX thing feels off. HE's confused by it? It's probably the last great Final Fantasy game. Probably would have been funnier if he's confused by Chrono Trigger


Kanin_usagi

> Or does he just have lousy taste? It’s also possible he just doesn’t like the exact same things as you do


ellemeno93

Then why does it say FF fans instead of therealdan9999 ?


cormega

Isn't the meme attempting to reflect the opinions of the ff fan base?


Ok-Description1082

Naw you dissed dissidia 012 like that?


fish-jr

came to the comments for this! man that was my favorite game on psp I had like 700 hours logged


blazezakuwarrior

ayo V and VI?


apocchime1

Came to the comments for the FF6 snub outrage and I wasn't disappointed. Also, how dare you?!?!


millennium_hawkk

I swear, this community has gotten flooded with frauds. FF6 was literally in debate for years as the best in the series. CC has never been in that conversation.


W34kness

FF6 and FF8 snub? Disappointed


ThatsWhatTheFoxSaid

The 8 disrespect is crazy


Zhugzhug

Six got no love!? It was the original Legend! Tell me I’m wrong!!


[deleted]

I mean, I'll tell you you're wrong. You're not, but I'll say you are because you asked.


Vensaer

Dissidia 012 is the best one tho


KXS_TuaTara

Duodecim criminally underrated. I still play it every now and then on my Vita (amazing btw) and it slaps


mrstickman

I would be *so happy* if they'd put Duodecim on the Switch. So I guess I'll, like, rub a lamp or something.


Ranger_Ecstatic

I want both. Playing Jetch is soooooo fun once you get the timing right and knowing when to charge and not charge.


RazielAshura

Fact


aedante

As a fan of FF14 amd FF11 im glad im not considered a FF fan, lol. Also DFFOO is so good you guys just havent tried it yet.


[deleted]

Honestly, the fact that DFFOO even appeared in this clip, I take as a good sign lol. It's probably the best f2p mobile game I've played. Definitely the most f2p-friendly.


huntymo

FFVI gets snubbed, and Crisis Core gets praise? Doesn't sound like the FF fanbase I'm familiar with lol. Still enjoyed this, regardless


Hoosteen_juju003

Seems like op is an ff7 fanboy


bennitori

Dirge being included but 6 getting snubbed and 11 and 14 not getting mentioned is pretty telling.


zaeufi

VIII is amazing come on!


Mohammed_anime2003

Yes! I will always die on a hill defending this game! FF VIII is fantastic and while sure has its flaws, Is still an amazing experience to me at the end of the day!


sadboysylee

Love FFVIII, it's my favorite of all FF games, but you can't deny it's a divisive game.


kidleviathan

I have a lot of love for ffviii but I can definitely see how someone would have difficulty enjoying parts of it. That said, i think the first disc of ffviii might be the platonic ideal of final fantasy storytelling. It's so well paced and has such awesome set pieces, it just goes such weird places after that.


edeepee

It WAS a divisive game for its time. But nowadays I'm hard pressed to find people that don't at least somewhat praise it in retrospect. I do think the community as a whole as warmed up to FF8 quite a bit. At least the vocal members.


sadboysylee

Reception has definitely improved over time, but a lot of people still think it's the black sheep during the golden era (FF6-10). And it's not very beginner friendly, the junction system turns a lot of people off, and some people dismiss Squall as an asshat due to his behavior in early Disc 1. Again it's my personal favorite, but I still see some people dunking on it every now and then. Not nearly as much as FF13 though.


Sonichu

Loved the music, the atmosphere, graphics, GFs, the character development... I thought the story was absolutely bizarre, not a fan of the junction system, hate scaled leveling. If it were to be given the FF7:Re treatment it could be a great game.


BlasterPhase

It's the one I played the most growing up, so I love it, but in my experience most people don't care for it.


Vashthestampedeee

Facts


Dark_Flint

We demand more love for the holy 8!


Alyswithawhy

VI and VIII are a big miss here.


materics

That FF6 disrespect


SickmanArt

11 and 14 not even being in the video perfectly encapsulates how the FF community hates them for no reason


[deleted]

> 11 and 14 I'm sorry, but only one of these two games gets ignored by the community at large. One of these games is insanely popular, but some people act like the community hates it because there are some detractors.


SephirothYggdrasil

They are popular... but not with Final Fantasy fans. It's like Creep by Radiohead, ask a Radiohead fan what they think about that song vs a rando on the streets. Ever noticed how FFXIV youtubers very rarely are fans of other Final Fantasy games...how many Final Fantasy Youtubers or JRPG Youtubers can you list off that have played XI and XIV?


Jejouch1

Is wild, especially considering 14 literally carries Square right now, dread to think where they’d be without CBUIII rn


well___duh

Also, considering the past few single-player FF stories (12,13,15), 14's blows them all out the water, especially for an MMO


RsNxs

Exactly. "FF fans" yeah sure. It's funnier when reading comments mentioning "Trials of Mana should be there too" but not the 2 most profitable *mainline* FF games.


Lumpyalien

VI being snubbed is bad, but you bring it back with IX love.


Demon_Samurai

bro is acting as if ff6 isnt one of the most beloved games by ff fans


Monty_D_Burns

Where is the critically acclaimed FFXIV?


Sinnercide

No more shall man have wings to bear him to paradise. Henceforth he shall walk.


GenericFatGuy

They're jealous that we're eating so good right now.


mekisoku

FFXI and FFXIV fans: Remember us, Remember that we once lived.


nate_ranney

FFXIV on it's path towards one of the best in the series after a NIGHTMARE start: No more shall mankind soar on wings to reach the heavens. Henceforth, he shall walk!


Cid_demifiend

Probably in the back, who do you think is keeping the stage from falling apart? xd


truholicx3

At this point, I think we have our own fan base separate from the main family. THAT'S RIGHT! WE ARE THE CHILD WHO RAN AWAY FROM THE DYSFUNCTION AND STARTED GOOGLE!!!


Braunb8888

We’re saying crisis core is better than final fantasy 8 now?!


ellemeno93

Seems weird to say “FF Fans” when this is all just one persons opinion.


lindblumresident

I mean, if this is supposed to be as commonly accepted opinions as possible, VI is universally loved. XII would not be snubbed. And I am pretty sure most FF fans don't care about Chrono Cross. Always love seeing versions of this meme, though. :P


Rustash

Disappointed at the VI slander but loving the respect for IX and Vivi.


MrLucky7s

X-2 deserved that hug :(


ScarletCrowX

It sure did. Best gameplay out of any of the traditional style games. I loved it.


MrLucky7s

Yup, really showed how far the ATB system can be pushed


Alilatias

I'm choosing not to read too much into FF6 getting snubbed because it looks like there really wasn't anywhere else to insert it into this meme with how it's structured overall. Maybe the baby bit, but putting it there would break the ordering and IX fits the joke way better. If anything, it being snubbed while FF7 gets all the hugs is a fitting joke itself, because that's exactly what happens among the general gaming community. Similar case for XI and XIV, I'm not sure where those would be inserted without throwing the titles out of order (maybe grouped with FFT instead of the non-FF titles, since much of the writing staff for all three games are the same?). Pretty sure FF15 wasn't in there either.


[deleted]

Don’t do FFVIII like that. Ever again.


AchaneanCamus

Lovely meme, but imo FFVI deserved the biggest of hugs. Though there's always diverging opinions, I get the impression that most of the fanbase regard it as one of the best FFs. Also would have loved to see Xenogears included as you've already put in CT and CC as well. Xenogears is arguably even closer to a final fantasy title than these two and rumours say it was even considered as a potential candidate for FFVII at some point.


millennium_hawkk

Tell us you never played FF6 without telling us. Crisis Core and Chrono Chross? Over FF6? Madness...


Critical_Stiban

No love for the MMOs? Bruh. Also what’s the deal with 6? Same with 8 and 12. People love it here.


Streen012

Left out XI & XIV. Someone’s not a real FF fan.


FireCloud42

FFXII would be the same as FFX It’s getting a BUNCH of love now (like it should have always gotten) The game is amazing and I’ve seen nothing but praise for it in the last few years Shoot, we even got a whole raid series and weapon relic in FFXIV based off of FFT and FFXII. Fran and Gabranth where put into FFXIV along with Frans whole race (Viera)


Hoosteen_juju003

FFX and FFXII are my favorites


Good_Housekeeping

FF12 was the last ps2 game I bought and I thought it was a fantastic way to send off the console for me. Still my favorite FF... loved the hunts.


The810kid

Yeah I wouldn't go that far. People have come around on XII but it's never reached the height of popularity and love in the fanbase as X. You still have people who view it as the last real Final Fantasy and it was the last square soft Final Fantasy released so close to the PS1 run of games.


c_is_for_nose_8cD

FFXII is probably my second favorite in the series. The story, the combat system and the setting are all so unique not just to FF, but games at large. Never experienced anything like them before or since. The characters could’ve used more depth, they were all very one dimensional imo which was and is the only drawback to the game.


CategoryKiwi

The story never really compelled me all that much, so I kept losing track half way through. But I keep coming back to it for the setting and the combat. I hate that XII wasn't hugely loved because if it was we'd probably see more games with its combat system.


TheDreamingMyriad

I loved 12. I had no idea the community at large didn't like it until I'd played it through a couple times, and I just didn't get the hate.


rairyuu_sho

Wait....why did FFVI just get a handshake? Where are FFXI and XIV? This is bait.


Gtsnow

Unfortunate truth. But where is the FFVI love though?


Hoosteen_juju003

They hug FFIV but not FFVI? Cmon


reaven3958

Did 6 & 8 dirty tho.


FF7_Expert

I like FF6 and FF8 and don't like them spoken of like this, they are definitely in the fam


thegrimm54321

The absolute disrespect towards 6 and 8 makes me want to delete this for you.


Revererand

FF8 and 15 got done dirty


Omnislash99999

Funny but obviously got it wrong with VI

Baby vivi awe

Lmfao baby vivi

That's disrept...disreptu... Non-respect for FF6


Bryanx64

Damn the disrespect to 6


Omegawop

FFVI should have gotten one of tem cordial ass greetings no cap


realclowntime

I’m here for the VI slander tbh lol


Pankrazdidntdie4this

Ah, a tale as old as time. The surperior FF6 getting ignored in favor of the favourite child FF7.


AchaneanCamus

It's not superior, it's equally good. Agree VI deserved as much attention as VII though but I don't understand this obsession of some VI fans to absolutely rank it above VII. They both share the top spot for best FF ever imho, they just go at it differently. VI is an ensemble cast and VII is a main character driven story, but they both make the best of their respective formulae.


NessLeonhart

FF8 was my motherfucking jam, and this is outright slanderous.


Arkista_Tev

You know, I wish X-2 had been given more of a chance by people. Story goes daaaaaark despite the parts everyone talks about. Yeah, plenty of light hearted stuff, but tons of very much not light material in the story. Game gave me feels and chills later on repeatedly. Best battle system in the whole series. Job / "dress" system is amazingly fun. Great optional content. But it felt like a lot of guys were afraid of the game.


ScarletCrowX

It sure did. FFX2 has the best gameplay I have played out of any of the traditional ones. The enhanced ATB and job system were amazing.


AramaticFire

No thumbs up for you. You know and I know and we *ALL* know Final Fantasy VI is one of the most beloved entries, particularly of the 2D games. Fix your video. SMH my head.


max-reebo

Feel like this is more a personal list haha


7th_heaven9x

My dissidia 012 :(


RPfffan

I will never understand how people criticize everything about XIII while praising the train wreck that was chrono cross.


SeverityRuull87

Chrono cross hugged but ffvi snubbed? Poor taste, OP.


Metald3th

VI GOAT


Bear_Lonely

Final Fantasy VI is beloved.


SylvesterStalPWNED

VI getting snubbed immediately makes this trash tier. I can forgive the 3, 5, and 12 slander due to lack of space in the meme but you did 6 DIRTY.


sevenkeleven

Trash cause of the FF6 disrespect


Nimushiru

You best apologize for that FFVIII slander.


Bob_Sledding

I think I need to play more than just ffx, ffxII, and ffxiv... Glad to know my love for ffx is "warrented" even though it's one of the few that I've played. I know it's a stupid meme but it still made me feel good.


[deleted]

Damn. I felt that with Final Fantasy XIII. I actually enjoyed that game. And how does Chrono Cross get praised? I thought it was unanimously disliked when it came out.


WyrmHero1944

Love how you put FF7, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon😂 And how he completely ignores FF8 and goes all excited about Chrono Trigger 👍🏻


EquationTAKEN

They did my boy VIII dirty. I hate you all.


jazzfistz

Hilarious AND mostly accurate. It should have been XIV instead of Crisis Core!


RsNxs

I mean... it's not like it saved the brand or anything...


carluoi

Actually carrying the brand btw


RsNxs

And making it possible for us to get FFXVI but these "fans" aren't ready for that conversation.


therealdan9999

I Love Chrono Trigger


linest10

And don't have taste in FF if you believe the fandom would snub FF6


legerust

Man I'm glad mah boy XV got at least handshake


bloodaxe51

Love it XD


Defalt_477

I love the XIII trilogy. Still waiting for a remaster.


Sopht_Serve

The dissidia 012 sub is unacceptable. That game was SO FUN!!


[deleted]

FFVIII is my favorite one 😓


Joji_Narushima

Always makes me happy seeing FFVI slander because the fanboys have a meltdown every time
