Best final fantasy game

[Palazzo]

Any wilder than your '75% of FF7 fans have never played any other FF' theory? I think not. Seriously bloke, keep your nose out of other peoples business.

Difference being I never said that.

[Shadowstrike]

I've played and beaten all of them so far.

Poor me i have no life.

FFVI is by far my favorite. BUT, i will say this. To me, the biggest part to a game is the story... and how i connect with the characters. Its not the amazing graphics... or the cool effects. Plainly the story. FFVII had a great story as well....

But i cried when Cyan lost his family, when Terra found out where she came from, when Locke lost Rachel...

I was excited the first time I climbed the tower of Kefka... in awe to see its boss trample my party after i was sure i would beat him.

Kefka, has always been a favorite villan of mine, and a very well done one at that... I felt a general HATE towards him... He killed his own emperor, his OWN people in order to gain his power... even SUCEEDED in destroying the world...

The amount of character's and the depth that they gave nearly every one of them... still excites me to this day (aside from GoGo, but he was still cool)

To all of the people who would call me a fan-boy, i say this. Perhaps... If loving a game as deep as VI was makes me a fan-boy. I dont want to be anything else.

I do enjoy a good SPOILER in the morning...

There is no such thing as a "FF6 Fanboy." It is a term made up by the "FF7 Fanboys" to take the heat off of themselves (I'm just kidding. Anomaly, Griffith, or whoever else might be offended by this. Just to let you know.)

FF6 was my favorite for much the same reason as Shadowstrike stated it was his. I thought the character development was just awesome. I was pretty touched at Cyan's entire story, and at Locke's as well. What got me the most, however, was when Celes tried to commit suicide at the beginning of the World of Ruin.I was also touched by the twins.

The music to this game was also great. One of the things I liked the best about this game, however, more so than any of the others, was the exploration department. There were so many little easter eggs in this game, as well as big events, that you could discover if you just looked around. From the extra scene with Setzer to the hidden caves you find when traveling between continents via Figaro Castle. I'm not sure if I've even found everything yet....

But yeah, pretty much FFVI rules, FFI-FFV & FFVII-FFXI drools.

Wuv, Yer Mom

Oh, and Sorry for the spoilers. You should show me how to hide them, so that I dont do that again.

[Gundar]

Im gonna have to say VI, the first one i've ever played and never will forget all the good times.

If they haven't played VII, I can take a wild guess.

honestly dude, stope being an ass. Just because he hasnt played seven dosent mean jack shit, and you honestly dont know how many he has played, you may guess but, ya know what, your probably wrong in the first place. Just stop right now and stop being a ass. Its better for your Karma in the first place.

[Anomaly]

Difference being I never said that.

Now you're lying so I feel no need to discuss this further.

Also.

Not you're business either, and flaming is worse than spamming, ****. I don;t care if said person has not played FFVII or any other game...if I can;t make a passing comment without you and your butt buddy jumping me, then maybe you should consider your own karma rather than mine. That is if you care about karma, I know I sure as hell don't and never will ^_^

[Omega]

I voted for FF IV for the millionth time this thread has been made. Merge MOds...merge!! lol

& friggin sticky mo fo

Why did I vote for FF Iv?

Best characters in any FF. Most memorable storyline. ATB battle system made the battles feel alive and real. Best music in an FF game.

I loved everything about it, except Edward. xD

[Sasquatch]

Boys, boys, take it somewhere else. Stop talking out your ass, calm the hell down, and quit being so damn arrogant. Nobody flamed here. So somebody thinks you're wrong, oh well, nobody really cares. You want to get pissed off, head over to Intellectual Discussion so I can really help you make yourself look like an idiot.

That having been said... I might start up another FFVII game sometime soon, after I finish off FFIX again. Just so I can learn more about it. Or I might go with FFVIII, as I've never played it all the way through. Yeah, I'll do that. Once I get that done, I'll have beaten 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and X, and I'll need to get Tactics done. (Tactics is just too hard -- maybe this time through I won't use Gained JP Up on everybody, so they'll learn and level at a steady pace. I might have to get some advice on that.)

But anyway. For now, I think VI is the best. And that probably won't change for a while, at least until I play FFXII.

[LocoColt04]

...shut the fuck up. All of you. Gundar, you provoked Anomaly into sticking his foot in his mouth again. Why? Anomaly... you stuck your foot in your mouth again. Why? Guys, seriously, there is NO reason to flame each other because you like different games. Agree to disagree, AND DO SO IN A CIVIL MANNER.

Next person who flames (or flamebaits, for that matter) WILL receive a warning, because I've already told you once to stop. This makes twice.

If you don't know the rules, I'd strongly suggest you READ them. They can be found at the top of any forum on the board, in the announcements section.

[Palazzo]

Now you're lying so I feel no need to discuss this further.

Actually I'm not lying.

Maybe if you read my posts properly, you would see that.

[Gundar]

Yes you are right, I apologize, I was just trying to help out with some people and stop the rude behavior and in doing so I was a bit rude. and Anomaly this was the first time that I have ever commented back towards you, and Karma is a big thing of mine, damn near my whole life is based on Karma, that and a other morales. Oh, this is towards Advent Children, you did know that the year it came out it was Game of the Year, and I dont think it would be Game of the Year again, unless they do some sort of remix on it and make it better, but still then it might be hard for it to be Game of the Year.

[Anomaly]

Actually I'm not lying.

Maybe if you read my posts properly, you would see that.

From my experience, around 75% of FF7 fanboys haven't played the rest.

You sir, are a liar. You didn't say it in this thread, but you did say it none the less.

Now I will say good day to you sir as well as this topic in general, in the most polite of ways by stating what I originally had ot say on the matter. I have played every FF in my OPINION(it does not matter if you argue with me, this will not change my opinion, I will NOT be kissing your ass, thank you) FFVII is one of the finest FF games that there have been, though for me FFVI at least ties with it, if is not better than it.

[TomStrife]

I`m pretty sure LocoColt told you guys to knock it off.

It doesn`t matter who likes what. You can`t change people`s opinions based on yours. There shouldn`t even be comments on each other`s posts.

We should just type our faves and leave. There is NO point in debating this topic whatsoever.

[Cain Highwind]

Way to delete my post.

As I said though, I think you need some reading lessons if you think I ever said that, might do you some good.

Since you guys can't seem to live and let go on the subject like Ceasar asked, TWICE, I'm giving you an official warning Palazzo.

Now calm down and get off the topic, unless you have something good to say.

[Ted Zanarukando]

I think Final Fantasy I, VI, and VII are overrated. I think Final Fantasy VIII, X, and X-2 are underrated. Thus I prefer the underrated modern Final Fantasy games.

[TomStrife]

That is your opinion and I`m not going to argue against it.

I think FF4, 6, and 9 are overrated.
I think FF7 and 8 are underrated.

ZOMG! What did Tom just say? FF7 is UNDERRATED?

People keep commenting on how overrated it is which lower`s people`s interest of the game. That is why it`s underrated.

[Palazzo]

I hope you don't mind if I find your opinion completely laughable.

Anyway, my opinion:

VI: Neither overrated or underrated
VII: Completely overrated
VIII: Neither overrated or underrated
IX: Underrated
X: Slightly underrated
X-2: Very underrated

[TomStrife]

I agree with:

IX: Underrated

I found these two comical.

X: Slightly underrated
X-2: Very underrated

We`re even.

[Shadowstrike]

Okay, well i apologize in advance to those that this offends.

To me, none of these games are "overrated or underrated" besides FFVII.

Take a second and think about this....

Who hear listens to the radio? and you hear a great band that you like, matter of fact one of their songs is playing right now.... Then around town/school/work whatever you hear people playing that SAME damn song over and over because its SO COOL...

Doesnt it make you a bit mad that they will never give the rest of the CD a chance but only play that same damn song until thier brains melt out their asses?!

This is how I view FFVII. im NOT saying that it was a bad game...

But i recall, just as you all do, what life was like BEFORE that game... back when we relied on STORY, and not the pretty colors and lights that alot of the games nowadays have. What FFVII did was bring in the white-trash/gangsta/sports-fan/hiptotallycoolkickassMEDIA into our once pure, simple RPG lives....

Again, nothing against any part of the game at all. I enjoyed it... But saying that it wasnt overrated, is like lying on your taxes. We all know it is.

/endrant

EDIT: And also, if FFVII is underrated, the poll up at the top of your screen would read quite differently.

[Ted Zanarukando]

Final Fantasy VII: The most overrated
Final Fantasy X-2: The most underrated

actually sony brought in the white trash with the playstation - FFVII was an incredible game that gets bashed far too much just because it's the most well-known final fantasy game (in the states at least). now, maybe your beef is that FFVII finished what FFVI began - that is, taking away the castles and lush green landscapes and replacing them with... well... midgar. but this was a natural step for the series that was resolved with the lush FFIX.

i personally am that 1 guy who voted for FFI - but hey, i'm an old school junkie.

[Ted Zanarukando]

Final Fantasy I: Overrated
Final Fantasy II: Neither overrated nor underrated
Final Fantasy III: Rather underrated
Final Fantasy IV: Neither overrated nor underrated
Final Fantasy V: Rather underrated
Final Fantasy VI: Overrated
Final Fantasy VII: Most overrated
Final Fantasy VIII: Underrated
Final Fantasy IX: Rather underrated
Final Fantasy X: Underrated
Final Fantasy X-2: Most underrated

I am neither old school nor new school purist.

[Shadowstrike]

lol, yeah me too.

Incase you couldnt tell.


Oh and also, I just wanted everyone to know that I wasn't jumpin for anyone throats, just pointing out how, FFVII is overrated... and its comical not to say it is.

[Anomaly]

Final Fantasy I: Fine As Is
Final Fantasy II: Under rated
Final Fantasy III: Fine As Is
Final Fantasy IV: Fine As Is (meaning those that have played it andl iked it know its awesome and those that can't play because its too hard are normally the only ones to whine about it)
Final Fantasy V: Fine As Is
Final Fantasy VI: Fine As Is (it is a respected game, it didn't used to be during the first bit of next gen FF exposure)
Final Fantasy VII: Slightly Over Rated but MOST bashed (because some FFVI fans never grow up and a lot of FFX fans aren't.)
Final Fantasy VIII: Fine As Is (it has its fans and thats great)
Final Fantasy IX: Under rated (I have to admit I was one of the first to say FF9 sucked, but looking back, it wasn't so bad)
Final Fantasy X: MASSIVELY Over Rated (oh come ON...there wasn't even a world map!)
Final Fantasy X-2: Slightly Over Rated (only by those that bothered to play it all the way through)

If you find any part of this humorous, I don't care ^_^

[Palazzo]

(because some FFVI fans never grow up and a lot of FFX fans aren't.)

It's "bashed" by more than just FFVI and FFX fans.

And it's the most "bashed" because it's so overrated and has so many fans that take any form of criticism of the game as "bashing".

[Shadowstrike]

I'll second that one. being that its overrated though DOESNT mean that its a bad game. We've just been pointing out, that us apparently not grown up, gamers see that all the hype that FFVII has brought is good for the industry, but its not neccasarily the best of the series.

lol, that reminds me, i just thought of a decent signature. lol...

[Ted Zanarukando]

Also, a game being underrated does not mean that it is a good game either. Final Fantasy X is NOT overrated. It garnered mixed reactions. A game with mixed reactions does not count as overrated. Final Fantasy X-2 IS underrated. There have been too many negative reviews about the game. Final Fantasy X and X-2 garnered senseless criticism and were criticized based on useless information. It is senseless to criticize Final Fantasy X for a lack of world map. That is a reason why I call Final Fantasy X underrated.

Here is a revised version of the list on my previous post:

Final Fantasy I: Overrated by old school gamers
Final Fantasy II: Fine As Is
Final Fantasy III: Slightly underrated
Final Fantasy IV: Fine As Is (It is my first Final Fantasy)
Final Fantasy V: Slightly underrated
Final Fantasy VI: Fine As Is
Final Fantasy VII: Massively Overrated (but not a bad game)
Final Fantasy VIII: Underrated (especially by old school gamers)
Final Fantasy IX: Underrated
Final Fantasy X: Underrated (It is senseless to criticize the game for having no world map.)
Final Fantasy X-2: Massively underrated (Too much senseless criticism. Criticized based on useless information.)

[bent chocobo]

Either way, if you haven't at least played a mjority of them there's no call in claiming the one you've played the most is the best.

actually ive played them all exept number 3 and 6

[Axeman]

I'm impressed, it took until the fifth post for somebody to plump for that old dog FF7. Although I notice it still gets fully a third of the votes on the poll :-(

Come on FF7 fans, when are you going to wake up to the obvious fact that FF7 is not that good?! The storyline is, at best, random. The controls are frustrating (oh! if i press up on this screen i go up/left but when i pressed up on the last screen i went up/right! And why the f**k can't i use the analogue stick for f**ks sake! Aaarrggh!). And considering the backgrounds are so well rendered why in the name of arse couldn't they make the characters look human?
The film's not much better (FF7 AC); great graphics of course, but the story still makes bugger all sense.

There. Can open. Worms everywhere...

(Oh btw my fave's 8. Always has been always will be)

[Chez Daja]

FFIX was the best in my opinion, and this was because it had a slightly happier feel to it then the others.

I'd never really greatly like FFVII, but I loved FFVIII.

IX is my favourite because of the medival aspects of it... the characters were ironic, and who doesn't love that?

I jsut throughly enjoyed this game, and I could play it again and again without getting bored.

Too bad my version doesnt work anymore. @_@;
