First of all, I have never played Final Fantasy, but I've come across the name again and again and wondered what it is.
I used to play Kingdom Hearts II and it blew me away with its story and music, because it somehow has such an aesthetics and in my opinion, it can quickly get emotionally involved in the cutscenes.
But now I want to play something different than Kingdom Hearts.
That's why my requirements for a new game are that it will be equally emotional / timeless, but graphics and price will have to be right, of course. The music and the story are therefore important.
It is best if the world you are in is surreal.
I know Final Fantasy does not have a lot of choice for the PS4 anyway, but I'd like to hear the opinion from you before deciding on FF XV or something. It may also be for the PS2, if there's a better one there.
I think that FFXV is by far the best Final Fantasy, is also one of my absolute favorite games.
Otherwise, I can also NieR; Recommend Automata.
The best soundtrack I have ever heard and will ever hear, an extremely cool story, a top graphic. There's nothing that I can put up with this game, it's my absolute # 1 :)
If you're a KH fan, then the following games might be for you:
Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster (PS4)
Nier Automata (PS4)
I would still advise you to play Nier Automata first. The game will blow you away if you like good story and soundtrack (for me one of the best games ever)
FF15 I would push back personally. Comes in terms of story and soundtrack, at least for me, not on the old FF parts and not synonymous to the above.
Aja, both are timeless, too, if I interpret the word correctly.
~ 200 hours on NieR; Automata and the time is still rising, am currently on the 3rd run ~ again bring to 100% of course.
The same with FFXV, I estimate my time to be around 300 hours, and the desire to play it again would still be there.
The prices for both are ridiculously low, so strike.
Final Fantasy 15!
