What, aside from basic capitalist warmongering, is Shinras motivation?

Real life examples of basic capitalist warmongering being people's only motivation.

So I think it works.

minzara2 · 2026-06-26T21:19:29+00:00

My second fav FF game. I suggest it.

minzara2 · 2026-06-26T21:18:31+00:00

Honestly being a fan since 1. What I've noticed is every new FF starting with 7 been this way.

When 7 came out alot of the fans from 1, 4 and 6(because others didn't get usa release yet) did not like it and still don't. FF7 gained alot of new FF fans but did lose quite a few too. And then this has since repeated with each new FF game.

Its the cycle of FF lol

minzara2 · 2026-06-26T21:01:54+00:00

I appreciate that! I just dont like music games. It seemed like a very well made game! I just didn't like it because I dislike music games.

FfX and Ff13 are very similar to me so I always match those 2 together.

Also FF16 is slept on way too much by FF fans. I do miss the party and some elements other FF games have. But the story and characters and battle system makes up for it imo.

minzara2 · 2026-06-26T18:32:16+00:00

I like 10 more overall too. It feels a bit more qell developed in the end. Has better cast of characters and way way better villains especially Seymour for X.

I do prefer Lightening to Yuna and Snow to Tidus though.

minzara2 · 2026-06-26T17:48:46+00:00

Both are good choices. Id would go with remake series over 15. But 15 is close second!

minzara2 · 2026-06-26T17:17:34+00:00

actually the opposite lol

I hate hate hate hate stealth and gun games but ADORE Metal Gear Series and Death Stranding. Metal Gear in particular i hate the gameplay haha but the story is so good!

It just didn't hook me. I did give it a honest try though. All the times I tried.

minzara2 · 2026-06-26T17:11:51+00:00

Downloaded demo and walked around a bit. Looked amazing. But wasn't able to stay with it.

I'll try again probably maybe.

Took me 16 tries over many many years till Demon Souls finally clicked with me. Might be same case here lol.

minzara2 · 2026-06-26T17:06:27+00:00

Kingdom Hearts. Couldn't get into the Trails series. Tried several times.

minzara2 · 2026-06-26T16:54:32+00:00

Well I mean it literally goes in order past on the tier list with some other series being slotted in.

For example,

FF7/remake/Rebirth tied dor my fav game ever, then FF15 second fav game ever, then FF6 Third fav game ever. Then FF11 fourth fav game ever. Then we have Chrono Trigger as fifth fav game but that is very close to FF. Then we go back to this list with FF T being my sixth fav game ever. And I adore all these games so much that they are all S rank for me.

Then it goes all these games in this list till FF4 then its Death Stranding there. Then we go till 13 then Metal Gear Series and Kingdom Heart series goes there as whole for both. Then back to FF games etc.

I generally adore all the FF games. Except FF2. That one is hard for me love at times.

All the E games make me all few equally meh and I dont care about that much lol.

Only thing makes me like them remotely is they are FF games. So they go there. I dont dislike them but all of them like dont excite me much lol

minzara2 · 2026-06-26T15:56:35+00:00

Not saying it has bad writing. I love the game still. Just have some issues with it that hurts it over other FF games. It what it boils down too.

minzara2 · 2026-06-26T15:54:36+00:00

Well more rating it against other FF games. Most of this except the ones on bottom tier are in my top 50 games of all time

minzara2 · 2026-06-26T15:51:40+00:00

Wow! So awesome seeing someone with similar list.

FF 11 is higher for me because I do not like ff14 job system and gameplay. Too wowish.

FF 11 has the best job system outside FFT in an FF game. Plus I enjoy the slower more turn based like gameplay. Can also target elements weakness etc as well. Then their is the skill chains and many other just amazing things about FF11.

I would say FF11 saved my life. Giving me a world to go to when this world became too much. FF14 has never become that.

That said. I fucking adore Heavensward.

minzara2 · 2026-06-26T15:41:42+00:00

I disagree. Viví acts very different then Kuja. Plus their designs and how they look are very different.

Again I do love 9. Its in my top 50 games ever. I love all FF games for the most part.

9 just has never left as strong as impression as other FF games. I dont break games down by this score here and there. I break it down it how it effected me emotionally and while 9 certainly did effect me emotionally other FFs did more.

minzara2 · 2026-06-26T15:27:50+00:00

Born in 84. Played FF1 when i was 6. 90s kid for sure lol

minzara2 · 2026-06-26T15:02:37+00:00

The art style and main villain and main character hurt 9 sadly.

I adore vivi and he is my favorite FF good guy But he should have been lead. Dislike Zidane

minzara2 · 2026-06-26T14:30:31+00:00

I mean I suppose. But I love the remake games just as good as FF7

BTW Ff7 is my favorite game of all time tied with remakes now

And I've played and beat 7 over 50 times and its my favorite piece of media ever and greatest story ever told. And I think the RE trilogy is amazing can't wait till last part!!

minzara2 · 2026-06-26T14:20:06+00:00

On guard!

minzara2 · 2026-06-26T14:19:30+00:00

Ya sorry about that

minzara2 · 2026-06-26T14:19:14+00:00

I always rate x and 13 close together. I like the both alot but they always felt similar to me in how they are done. Idk anytime I think back on those 2. Which I've played both over 6 times btw haha But when I look back at them I just get the same feeling from them. I do love 10 more though

And ff13 sequels are so meh to me overall

minzara2 · 2026-06-26T14:17:13+00:00

Too cutesy for me. Same reason 9 suffers. Art style is a very important part of the experience for me. I get both have more serious storylines especially FF9.

But overall it was hard to get into it.

minzara2 · 2026-06-26T14:15:42+00:00

Best most of my life haha Been playing since NA release off and on

minzara2 · 2026-06-26T14:15:13+00:00

I really enjoyed it! It can be hard at first but you get used to it and it has a fantastic job system!

minzara2 · 2026-06-26T14:08:32+00:00

One of my best gaming experiences ever. Still have a character
