The latest discussion in the Final Fantasy community revolves around three unique ideas presented by a user Nouglas, in what they consider ‘unpopular opinions’ about Final Fantasy titles. Nouglas suggests FFVII is underrated, asserts FFXIII has the best combat system, and proclaims FFXV among the top games in the franchise.

Summary

  • User Nouglas elicits varied responses with the claim of FFVII’s underrated status, FFXIII’s combat, and FFXV’s standing.
  • The overall fan sentiment indicates a different view on FFVII’s status – it’s a commonly loved game.
  • Consensus on FFXIII remains divided, but a sizable portion agrees with Nouglas.
  • FFXV’s rank and antagonist are contested points with fans landing on different parts of the spectrum.

The FFVII Enigma

In general, fans reacted with surprise at the suggestion of FFVII being underrated, noting its popularity among the franchise’s faithful. Strict_Donut6228 pointed out the game’s appeal is so vast that it’s received two remakes; the trilogy is in progress. Despite their personal views, many agreed Nouglas’s claim would be unpopular among most of the community.

Combat ‘Delight’ in FFXIII

While Nouglas’s claim on FFXIII’s combat superiority elicited mixed views, a fair number agreed. However, Theblackfool disagreed, candidly branding FFXIII’s combat as ‘awful’, though recognising that others like it. People like BigAndros wished for further iterations on it – albeit faster versions.

The FFXV Debate: Good, Bad, or Ugly?

Nouglas’s third contentious opinion – FFXV’s top rank and best antagonist – buttoned more divergent replies. Thejokerofunfic found the top rank claim ‘very unpopular’ but concurred that Ardyn as the best antagonist is widely accepted within the community. On the other hand, Wpotman felt the antagonist ‘solid’, although dimensions weren’t fully revealed until late in the game. Some had their issues with the game but still agreed on its enjoyable aspects.

Well! Such is the world of game fandom, where debates can be as intense as a boss battle in Final Fantasy itself. Unpopular opinions, after all, can be the Phoenix Down that revives interest and passionate discourse. Here’s to more captivating talks and debates that keep the love affair with the franchise burning. Happy gaming!
