    Post Favorite Final Fantasy [Intellectual Version]

    Unlike everyother cheap what is your favorite FF topic, I want this one to be Intelligent.

    I want you to tell your Favorite FF on several levels, and why.

    Which FF had your Favorite Music?

    Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?

    Which FF had your Favorite Character, and who is it?

    Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?

    Which FF had your Favorite Villain, and who is it?

    Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?

    Which FF had your Favorite Ending?

    Now since I will this to be an intellectual discussion any post that's reason is two sentences or shorter will be deleted.




    My Favorite Music was from Final Fantasy VII. I use alot of it in my magic act. Aerith's theme is inspirational, I honestly want it played at my funeral. Not to mention One-Winged Angel's beautiful merging of lyrics, on top of an extremly well written song.

    I believe my favorite FF cast was FFX's. It was an interesting mix of characters, though similar to other FF's, I think it worked better. The opposition between extremes in Rikku and Kimari, and Auron and Tidus in points. I found it really hieghtened the story line and made the characters believable.

    My favorite character from all FFs would probably be Aerith. She was a Martyr, a beautiful pillar of strength for a dieing world. Her selflessness and grace that carried her to her sacrifice. I think without her the wonder of FFVII would have fallen apart.

    My favorite battle system was without a doubt FFV. It allowed alot of freedom and customization, while still keeping enough restrictions to make it challenging. The jobs added a lot to it, the idea of training with powers granted by crystals intrigued me. Also it had Jikuu Mages, which made it kick ass anyways.

    Another vote for FFVII for favorite villain. Sephiroth, calm, cool, collected, calamity, chaos, and more C's. He has a believable character, with enough background to understand him, and know where he comes from, yet lacking enough to keep him a mystery. His outfit is allow very cool. His appearence with those bright green eyes was almost misleading. His idea to destroy the world is also one of my favorites.

    FFVII is neck and neck with FFX for story line, and it is FFVII by a nose! FFVII had a storyline the I think brilliently weaved together the lives and concerns of the entire party. Each going towards the same goal, with a slightly different reason. The fact that you can play it again, and catch subtleties you missed before. The story was compelling and heart breaking at points. When Aerith died, part of my heart went with her. The foe changing slightly, and his reasoning shifting, yet never to the point of being absurb. It handles plot twists with an ease and grace most FF's lack.

    The final vote is tossed to FFX. The ending movie was moving, I was never so touched by an ending. The sight of Auron wisping away as Pyreflies, his promises fulfilled. The Fayth, awakening, dieing, getting a true chance to rest. The world, finally safe, an occasion for rejoicing. Yet the party is sad as Tidus begins to fade. Even when he can no longer touch others, he still mimes hugging Yuna, just as a final Time, a wish to show her he cared. Then the inspiring speech by Yuna about memories, and carrying them with it, a speech that transends the Video Game world, and is something I could easily see a motavational speaker saying.

    1. I liked FF8's music best. The music is very well done and fits in to the environment and what's happening at the moment. And remember that Uematsu had a very short time to make such a masterpiece.

    2. I liked FF8's characters best because I can reflect to them much easier when they are real-looking, real-acting etc. I think FF8's characters was the most real overall.

    3. My favourite character ever in an FF in Zell Dincht from FF8. I can't really explain why on this one, I just think he's so funny and stupid in a way, but at the same time very smart.

    4. I think that FF7 had the best battle system. The materia system is very well done. I didn't like FF6's and FF9's battle system because of the annoying factor that you had to keep an item equipped until you've learnt a skill. I didn't like FF8's either because you always ended up drawing magic all the time making the battles too long. The materia system of FF7 is easy to understand; you find a materia, equip it and you've got a magic!

    5. Hmm, hard question. I must admit that I've only beaten the S-generation except FF10, so I don't have a big choice. SPOILER WARNING! I'll go for Sephiroth after all, since he's the only one that has a real goal with his struggle. The other villains are just trying to be pure evil but Sephy wants to gain control of the planet because he thinks that it is his mother's right to have it. He also wants to stop the evil Shinra corporation from gaining control of the planet so he's not pure evil. My favourite final boss battle is from FF8 against Ultimecia though.

    6. FF7 had a very deep and twisty storyline. The first time I played it I got shocked when
    SPOILER!!:
    I found out that Cloud was a clone and so on.
    All of the characters are really well done and mysterious in the beginning.

    7. The ending of my choice is the FF8 one. As you know, I like FF8's characters best and that's why I found it great to see how it ended up. The ending FMV is really beatiful too.

    Thank you

    A note before I begin, there is bound to be something that someone will consider as a spoiler in this post. If you don't want things spoiled, do not read this.

    1. Final Fantasy Six- I love the music for this game. From the uptune themes of the Veldt and the Colluseum to the heartfelt music of the Opera, this game does it all with the soundtrack. Many people overlook this game's soundtrack nowadays, but it is still my favorite, and I still get a part running through my head from time to time.

    2. Final Fantasy Four- This was difficult to choose, but I thought that FFIV had a slight edge here. You have Cecil and Kain both fighting internal battles as the game progresses. You have the Four Fiends and Golbez in there. Throw in a Spoony Bard, a little girl with more power in her pinky finger than most grown men, and a bad-ass ninja to round it up and you have a killer line-up of characters. Who would have seen the betrayal of Kain, or the turning of Golbez? And then there are the twins and the elder, providing comical relief. Then there is Yang's wife who give you a frying pan to use, lmao. Wonderful characters.

    3. Final Fantasy Six- Gasps from everyone, right? I love the Red Mage, but when it comes to liking a character, he has no depth within the game. For this, I turned to my number two game, FFVI. Sabin is by far the coolest character ever. The younger brother of a king who is more interested in training than ruling. Who does not think that his blitzes are cool? Especially Bum Rush. Plus, I've always thought that Claws were cool weapons, and Sabin has been my favorite for as long as I can remember.

    4. Final Fantasy Four- Battle systems are closely related in all of the Final Fantasy games, at least the basic concepts. The one thing I like about FFIV's battle system is that the spells and powers come naturally as you advance levels. Each character is unique. If all of them could Jump like Kain, where would be the fun? Or if all could summon? Or if all could cast Nuke, Meteo or White? No Espers, no materia, no Sphere Grids, just simple progression.

    5. Final Fantasy One- At one point in time this would have been Kain from Final Fantasy Four. He still is the number two, but there is one that I find to be a more memorable villian, Garland. Lets face it, anyone who has played the game remembers his quote: "I, Garland, shall knock you all down!" He also makes a special appearance at the end, revealing the entire scheme of the game. He may not be the toughest villian, but he is predominate in my memories.

    6. Final Fantasy Six- The storyling is exceptional here. A madman striving to gain supreme power from magical creatures known as Espers, using and betraying people in the process, even his superiors. Once you think the story can't get any better, Kefka goes and destroys the world that you know, sending it into a world of ruin and opening new fun. Great characters, great story, great game.

    7. Final Fantasy Four- This is a wonderful end. Golbez and FuSoYa going into their eternal sleep, the wedding of Cecil and Rosa, Rydia and Edge falling in love, Kain going off on his own path to train. This had it all, capping it all off with stellar effects that make it a trademark finish to an exceptional game.
    OLD SKOOL - A positive appellation referring to when things weren't flashy but empty of substance, were done by hard work, didn't pander to the lowest common denominator, and required real skill. Labour-saving devices, shortcuts that reduce quality and quitting before the task is done are not characteristics of "old skool."

    In reference to computer games, refers to a game that had substantial playability without flashy graphics or eye candy. Old skool gamers appreciate difficult maneuvers, careful planning, and scorched earth policies.

    In reference to role-playing games, old skool refers to games that tested players' wits, could kill off careless characters, and required dedication and inner strength to play. Old skool games didn't pander to the ideas that everyone is created equal, that all options are open to all races, that the markets were somehow free, and that a quasi-medieval society could have near 100% literacy.

    1. Final Fantasy VIII. My favorite Final Fantasy song is Eyes on Me. The moment this song is played in the game is my favorite moment in the game. It is played as Squall Leonhart danced with Rinoa Heartilly. My second favorite Final Fantasy song is the introduction from Final Fantasy VIII. My third favorite Final Fantasy song is Rinoa's Theme.

    2. Final Fantasy X. I like all the characters in this Final Fantasy. Their backgrounds seem interesting to me. Yuna has a crush on Tidus. Kimahri, Tidus, Rikku, Auron, Wakka, and Lulu are basically her guardians. Kimahri is very protective, and he initially has a gruff attitude toward Tidus. After he realized that he is on Tidus side, Kimahri tells Tidus when Yuna will return whenever she has left the party. Auron is the greatest physical powerhouse.

    3. Final Fantasy X. Yuna is my favorite Final Fantasy character. Her faithful guardian Kimahri Ronzo knew her since she was an infant. Her mentor Lulu is like an older sister to her. Rikku is my second favorite Final Fantasy character. Tidus is my third favorite Final Fantasy character. Wakka is a friend of Tidus and a guardian of Yuna. Auron is Tidus' mentor.

    4. Final Fantasy X. I love Final Fantasy X's battle system, because it is three-dimensional. Final Fantasy 1 had my worst battle system. I like that the feature enabling us to switch between party members during battle. This reflects the concept of guardians. If Yuna is near death's door, I will switch her for her guardian Kimahri Ronzo.

    5. Final Fantasy VIII. Edea is so cool. That villainess is influential to some fans. Mayuka Aoki, the original Japanese voice actress for Yuna, did the end-motion capture on Edea and Rinoa Heartilly. Final Fantasy VI had my second favorite villain, Kefka.

    6. Final Fantasy IV. Final Fantasy IV was the first Final Fantasy that I ever played. I love some of the moments in the game, such as when Cecil is teleported from the attack of Leviathan near Fabul to the land of Mysidia. I also like when the Tower of Zot collapsed and the party teleporting to Baron.

    7. Final Fantasy IV (as of yet). Final Fantasy IV has a happy ending. At the last part of the ending, the paladin Cecil Harvey is coronated the King Baron. The coronation ceremony is great. This vote is subject to change, because I have not beaten all the existing Final Fantasies yet.

    My favorite music would be FFVIII except that they repeated so much of it. The opening theme and its different versions were the most inspiring pieces of music I've heard. Overall though, I have to go with FFVII because every score fit the character it was for.

    The cast of characters that I felt most attached to would be FFX. I really think the voice acting had a part in that, but I understood each. HOwever, once again, FFVII takes the category because I liked each of the characters and their motivations, and their designs were the best. Nothing beats Cloud, Sephiroth, and Vincent in the same game.

    My favorite FF character would have to Squall. He is my absolute favorite character design, and his own development was one of the deepest of any character in the series. He was truly a Lionheart, and I really connected with him.

    Battle sytem goes to FFVII without a doubt for the materia system which will always be my favorite battle system of any RPG. I can't imagine something better, and it allowed me to enjoy and experiment in each battle.

    Favorite villain is without a doubt Sephiroth because he was how a villain should be. I'm sick of these Kefka characters that are just pure evil, and not developed well for their reasoning. Sephiroth was developed and I truly felt for him. Plus his character design was amazing; the One-Winged Angel is the greatest symbolism I;ve seen.

    Favorite overall storyline goes to FFVII of course because it had a conflict that made the most sense, and was really great. Sephiroth is what won this award since he was the basis for the conflict.

    Favorite ending goes to FFX as it was the most emotional, and I already really felt for each character, especially Yuna. The extra plus that I love is the mystery at the end of the ending cinema. Tidus awakens, but why and by whom?

    My favorite music was definitely from FFX. The Zanarkand song struck a dramatic chord for the game. Also "Isnt It Wonderful?" fit the scene with Yuna and Tidus perfectly.Aurons theme was pretty cool.The Hymn of the Fayth set the mood of Spira.

    My favorite FF characters were the FFVI characters.With 14 characters, not to mention Banon and the Empire, there were the serious to comic relief characters.Unfortunately,with all the characters, some like Umaro and Gau got little attention.
    Which FF had your Favorite Character, and who is it?
    My favorite character ever has got to be Cid Highwind the FFVII one.Lines like "Hold onto your drawers,and dont piss in em!" made him memorable.

    My favorite battle system would have to be FFIV.You didnt have to worry about learning anything,it all came with level ups.FFV was to long,and the extras with Esper level ups unbalanced my team.VII and VIII only let you hold so little magic.FFIX was okay,but X appalled me.

    My favorite villian would have to Seifer.You got to see him become evil in present tense,unlike most who were already evil.I was pissed at him at the end of Disc 1 when I saw him with Edea.That is a real trait for villians.

    My favorite storyline would probably be VI because the Returners were weak compared to the Empire,unlike super-strong groups like Avalanche and FFIV. Returners slowly gained their power,especially in the World Of Ruin.

    The problem is,I have only beaten VII,VIII, and X. X had the best ending because it struck a strong emotional chord.

    This is a good question. Of course, my overall favourite FF game has to be FFVIII. Although it is unliked by many, FFVIII was unique in a great way to the other Final Fantasies.

    FFVIII had the best music on my opinion, although FFIX is not far behind. FFVIII's music was just amazing, especially Liberi Fatali (Or however it's spelt!) and Eyes on Me. Although the normal battle music was pants, the boss music and the other boss music was pure genious. I love you, Nobuo Uematsu ^_^

    I like FFIX and FFVII's variety of characters, so it's a tie there. These two games had a lareg rnage of charcters, including humans, non-humans and stuffed toys.

    As for favourite character, that's a toughie. I really like Cait Sith because he is really unique (I love uniquety in games, so I'll be going on and on about it!) and even though he's a spy, he really wants to be friends with the rest of the FFVII cast, which I admire.

    I loved FFVIII's battle system. I liked the GFs, the draw abolities and the way you don't have to use MP, and instead collect magic, not unlike collecting items.

    I think Kefka was an amazing villain. He had no reason for destroying the world, therefore he is absolutely undoubtably pure evil. He found destruction fun, and did not belive in Peace, Love and Friendship. Pure, Pure evil. Total Villain.

    Since I know a heck of a lot about the storyline of FFVIII, I'll have to go for that. FFVIII's plot has a lot of mysteries and logic behind it, such as the Sorceress' passing on on powers, and the infamous Rinoa is Ultemecia theory.

    Best ending has to Be FFVIII's. It had amazing graphics, and it was confusing at first but eventually you will understand it very very well and I found it very interesting, as it really brought out Squall's emotions, and it added evidence to the Rinoa is Ultemecia theory.


    FFVIII 4eva!

    Back. For a while. Maybe.

    My favorite music has to be from FFVI. From the minute that I started playing that game it seemed to captivate me in such a way that the music drove so much emotion. It has the best expression of any of the FF games. It seems to flow so well from town to town and every moment inbetween.

    Overall the characters that were the best in the whole series from what I've played would be probably FFVI. The great mix of good and evil and everything else. Even the side characters had amazing personallities...like the turks. I really enjoyed talking to people in the towns because they had acutal intellegent things to say. Seporith, even though was controlled by Jenova ultimitely, was and still is the coolest character...I mean...he walks among the flames!!

    My favorite character...well...it's kind of odd. It is Squall. His deep thinking and his mellow thoughts is most like mine. I can relate to him in so many levels. His mind is complicated and so is his actions. Also Tidus...because I can relate with his type of family life that he has held. Also he is a athlete or a very awesome game. And is not depressing and loves to have fun and care a lot about everyone else...much like me sometimes.

    My favorite battle system is without a doubt FFX's. You get to control the characters leveling with the Sphere grid. You can customize weapons much like in the other games. The thing I really liked was that you could switch in a out your characters during battle...which gives the player the advantage to really have all the best attacks in one battle.

    Seporith is the best Villian...he's awesome...driven by his past and his journy is one of the greatest of all told. I also think that Keflka was a crazy person! Who else would not care to kill a village and then still go on in life...that takes some guts.

    Best story line...this is where I can split a lot. I think overall FFX had the best story. It had all the elements in the game that are needed and was told the best. With the constant reminders of the past and the few friends that were there in the present. FFVII is a classic and is there for deserving of this title for me but in it lacks the depth of character...in which you obtain a very obscure and shallow thought of each person. FFVIII was extremely deep in that and had so much romance. The story was indeed very powerful...but lacked focus.

    FFX's ending while simple was beautiful and got the point across very well. It's theme was that I will never forget for it will be a big part of my life with my dad and tring to go back and change things. FFVIII is one I will never forget...the disturbed views of Rinoa and the lost within the time compression is just great. I the ending is so powerful it made me cry.

    Music: Definetly FF8. "Eyes on me" theme is one of the best themes I ever heard. FF8 music is very memorable and is very preatty.

    Best characters overall: Tie betaween FF8 and FFX. The voices of main characters in FFX(excluding Tidus, and Yuna) gave them plenty of peronality. I really liked character development in FF 8. By the end of the game I grew to care for every single one of them.

    Best character: Squal from FF8. He started out as the biggest jerk, but later you found that he is a very caring, compassionate person.

    Best battle system: Final fantasy tactics. Hard to explain, but those of you who played it know what it's all about.

    Best villains: Rajin and Fujin. They fought you not because they were crasy, or because they were ordered. They did it for their friend Seipher.

    Favorite storyline: FF 8. It starts more optimystic, and then the story just draws you into the world of FF8.

    Best ending: FF9. I almost cried.

    Best overall: FF8

    1.) The final fantasy that had my favorite music was ff7. This is because i love the ancient temple music, i dunno why it like sounds cool.

    2.) Final Fantasy 10 because they had nice characters and you needed each one for the game and i felt that all the characters were involved a lot more in this game then having one party throughout the game.

    3.) My favorite character is Seph because he's so cool looking and like how he acts and stuff, i dunno he's just cool. (Gosh, I feel like i'm writing answers for q's at school, but o well)

    4.) Final Fantasy 10 or Final Fantasy Tactics had the best battle system because in ff10 i felt i was more involved and so did the characters and also you can do many new different things in battle. Now for fftactics, it had a very nice battle system and u were definitly involved in each battle and there were MANY things you can do in the battle.

    5.) Seph and read #3 for details.

    6.) Final Fantasy 7 had the best storyline because it was soo deep, it made u feel as you were in the game and theres soooo much to the storyline.

    7.) This one is tough, a lot of the endings sucked, but I like ff9's because
    **SPOILER**

    Because i accually thought Zidane was dead and that fooled me, which was pretty cool. I say it ended up perfectly.

    **End of SPOILER**

    Which Final Fantasy had your Favorite Music?
    Final Fantasy VII. The music of some of their boss battles really pumps my adrenaline. Not to mention "One-Winged Angel"... But if you're talking about songs, I'd have to say Final Fantasy VIII, mainly because of "Eyes on Me".

    Which Final Fantasy had your Favorite Characters Overall?
    Final Fantasy VIII. Taking out Rinoa, I'm extremely surprised at how close the relationship of the main characters to each other. I won't give away spoilers, since everyone knows what I'm talking about.

    Which Final Fantasy had your Favorite Character, and who is it?
    Male: Final Fantasy VII, because of Sephiroth, Final Fantasy VIII, because of Seifer, and Final Fantasy Tactics, because of Orlandu.
    Female: Final Fantasy VIII, because my crush, Rinoa, is there. ^^

    Which Final Fantasy had your Favorite Battle System?
    Final Fantasy VII, because Limit Breaks never run out there. ^^ Just keep a yellow health, and may luck be on your side. Plus, the Junction system makes it very easy to create powerful characters.

    Which Final Fantasy had your Favorite Villain, and who is it?
    Final Fantasy VII - I just love the angst of Sephiroth. His motivation to destroy the world is, somewhat, lonely.

    Which Final Fantasy had your Favorite Storyline?
    Final Fantasy VII. It's very nature-based. And it constantly reminds me to always protect nature. Plus, less romance for a change.

    Which Final Fantasy had your Favorite Ending?
    Final Fantasy Tactics. I don't want the main character dead. I wanted the main character to be ONLY considered dead, or never existed at all.

    What is you overall favorite Final Fantasy?
    Definitely Final Fantasy VII. A unique battle system, a very beautiful lead, and a cool song. What more can I ask for?

    Problem is, its too romantic. >.<

    Which FF had your Favorite Music?
    Final Fantasy VII had most of my favorite songs. It really calm me and all.

    Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?
    I would have to say Final Fantasy VIII. I think FFVIII characters were all really different and kool.

    Which FF had your Favorite Character, and who is it?
    Final Fantasy VIII, Squall. His weapon and clothings looks so kool.

    Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?
    This one hard, but I like the battle system in Final Fantasy VII the most because of the limit breaks.

    Which FF had your Favorite Villain, and who is it?
    Final Fantasy VII. Sephiroth is so kool and his long sword looks tight!

    Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?
    Hard one again. I liked Final Fantasy VII's storyline because of some of the character's mysterious pasts.

    Which FF had your Favorite Ending?
    Final Fantasy VIII. Eyes On Me I think is a very good song and it was very good song as a ending song.

    WARNING: Spoilers ahed.

    Which FF had your Favorite Music? FF7. The soundtrack was big, and I didn't even get enough of each song to make me sick of it, they were very well dispersed throughout the scenes. I loved every single piece.

    Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall? Again, FF7. I loved Cloud, since he was so much like me and I could relate to him. I liked Tifa and Aeris, and their relationships with Cloud. The whole cast was very well done, and even Cait Sith had an interesting story behind him.

    Which FF had your Favorite Character, and who is it? In FF7, Cloud was a bastard. And that's what I am. He just didn't give a ****.

    Which FF had your Favorite Battle System? I liked the way everything was unique in FF7, as far as the special effects and how things were named and equipped. However, FFX just blew me away by removing the ATB and using a turn-based system.

    Which FF had your Favorite Villain, and who is it? FF7, Sephiroth was the original badass. In the games to follow, the villains were just wannabes that couldn't even compare to him. As cliche as it is, Sephiroth is still one mean mutha fukka.

    Which FF had your Favorite Storyline? FF7. Placed in a semi-futuristic world that was rundown. The evil company Shinra ripping people off, Mako energy. It was just a classic, and told very deeply and very well. Very complex.

    Which FF had your Favorite Ending? Hmm...I really expect a lot from endings, and none that I can remember can really measure up to what I craved. I'd have to say either FF7 or FFX. I hate happy endings. I want an ending that pisses me off.

    Music: Final Fantasy 7, it was the only one that really clicked for me. I mean I bought the soundtrack, I donwloaded all the music onto my computer, I just loved it, especially Aeris' theme, it was very moving.

    Characters: definetely FF7: their characters were just so much more remembrance than all the other characters. they stuck out, they each had a different attitued and you got to learn a lot about each character.

    Character: Cloud of course because he acts so much like i do. He can be arrogant (trust me ask anybody that knows me, especially DragonHeart) , selfish at times and overall a great leader. He had the coolest look out of all of them and the best story behind him.

    Battle System: NOT FF7 haha. Id go with ffT or FF5, or FF3. Just cause I really liek the job system and it was a very good idea. I also liked X how it had the bar while battling so you would know who would attack when which would give you a better strategy when fighting tougher enemies.

    Villain: Sephiroth, why? It's because he was such a badass. he did so many things that just shocked you like
    SPOILER
    Aeris' death for once, how could you not feel all cold inside after you saw him stab her and listen to her death music as the white materia dropped into the pool and watching Cloud say, what i think a very good line
    "She will never laugh, amile, or cry again..." It was something like that, I didn't feel like writing it all cuz it was long.

    Storyline: I really like Tactics Zodiac Brave Story, but yet again FF7 pulls up on top. I am just so shocked how great the story was. It had everything you wanted, action, romance...just about everything a good movie or other game has.

    Ending: To tell the truth I haven't seen ff8, 9, or 1's ending. So Im gonna have to go with FF7. I didn't seem like it was such a great ending the first time but after you see it a couple times you really get to see how its unique from all the other ones. Insted of telling you, why don't you find out yourslef.

    Overall Id say FF7 was teh best one.

    Which FF had your Favorite Music? I really got blown away with the FFX music as soon as I heard it, it was kind of soppy and romantic which I really love in songs. But since FF7 was my first FF I guess it set the scene the best and made my love the games even more.

    Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall? I would say that FFX had the best charcters in my opinion because it showed that it takes all different kind of people to make up a group and they are useful for different things. They were kind of induvidual more so than say Final Fantasy 6 or 8 where you had several people alike.

    Which FF had your Favorite Character, and who is it? My favourite character overall was actually Fujin from FF8 I loved the way she stayed cool for everything and fought for what she was brought up believing in. Her style of clothing and hair was also great. There are so many other characters I like though.

    Which FF had your Favorite Battle System? I think it was more of a case of being my first Final Fantasy than anything else that made me love the FF7 one, I found it really hard to adapt to FF8. I liked the way you had to search for all the different types of Materia it made the game quite challenging.

    Which FF had your Favorite Villain, and who is it? Another vote for Sephiroth I am afraid, he just made me so angry at him as if he was real, he was just so intimidating and he was the best fighter out of everyone, he had a strange but great past and you really grew to hate him throughout the game.

    Which FF had your Favorite Storyline? I loved the FF7 one I really managed to get into it and know the characters. I loved the story behing it all and it wasn't so corny as some like ff8. FF7 and FF9 both had the ability to make me cry which is....great...heh ^^;;;

    Which FF had your Favorite Ending? I really like the ffx ending it was so sad and made me cry like a bitch. I thought that FF8's was quite funny in some places and FF7's made you think, they all had really great endings so I can't really decide.

    Which FF had your Favorite Music?
    Without a doubt, Final Fantasy VI. I can still recall all of those tunes with ease, since I spent a good 80 hours one summer trying to finish that game perfectly. I listened to it for 80 hours, and I still listen to mp3's of it today! Right now I'm listening to the music from Figaro Castle, arranged. If any other Final Fantasy comes close in music, it's FFVII.

    Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?
    I liked the characters from Final Fantasy VI, too. All of them were developed exceptionally, and a few had some real close ties that made them even better. Again, the only other game to come close to my favorite overall characters would be FFVII.

    Which FF had your Favorite Character, and who is it?
    Edgar Figaro, hands down. His personality reminded me of my own, he owned a technologically advanced castle, he was a king of that castle, he always had the right Tool for the job, and he was a bit of a charmer. This was the character I always named after myself; he is definitely my favorite out of all of the Final Fantasies.

    Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?
    Hmmm... this is a tough one. I absolutely hated Final Fantasy VIII and X's battle systems, probably because they veered off from the traditional style. I don't know; I just wasn't digging that new change. As for my favorite, probably Final Fantasy VII, with the limit breaks, materia, and such.

    Which FF had your Favorite Villain, and who is it?
    I was always a fan of the humorous villains. I would have to say Gilgamesh for this question. He was just so blinded by his own stupidity, and he let his arrogance go to his head. Every encounter with him was a laugh. Ultros was also funny, though.

    Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?
    Final Fantasy VI is tied with Final Fantasy VII here. Both were excellent storylines, and those two Final Fantasies are the ones I replay the most. The characters definitely add to the storyline, and both games had a great cast of characters.

    Which FF had your Favorite Ending?
    Final Fantasy VII, surprisingly. I won't go into spoilers for those of you who haven't played FFVII, but it was a true masterpiece. Coming in close second is FFVI, of course.

    Music: My favorite FF music has to be from FFVIII. It just was great and went well with the game's enviroment, the dark places and love story with those songs, it just came all together. In second place has to be FFX, it was great also. FFVI music is also one that I enjoyed.

    Best Overall FF Characters: Hmm, thats a tough one. I think that the one that wins, for me, is FFVI. That game had one of the best FF cast ever. Even though that the game had 14 characters to choose, it still gave a lot of background information. And those were the first characters that I grew to "love" them. Its closely followed by FFX. FFX also had a great cast and were quite involved in the story.

    Favorite FF Character: Another tough one. But I gotta say that I really liked FFVIII Squall's attitude. It was just like me. But aside from him I really like FFX Auron, he's a really cool guy and an interesting background story, very well done.

    Favorite Battle System: My favorite is, and will always be FFV. Just to cuztomize your party as you want was really neat. Its followed by FFVII battle system, that was another one that I enjoyed, specially all those strange Materias all well put in a devastating party to kill all asses.

    Favorite Villain: And the winner by far: Kefka. Ohh, how much I grew to hate him. And that maniac-clown-crazy-evil laugh that really made you hate him more, and all his blindness of adquiring the ultimate power and conquering the world was really the perfect thing for a villain.

    Favorite Storyline: This one is a tie between FFVIII and FFVI. I was shocked by Final Fantasy VIII storyline, it was my first RPG that I've played in my life and I've never seen or read a story as good as that one, at least for me. Then FFVI came after playing FFVIII. That game, for me, is tied for favorite game of all times. I really liked that game, the story was incredibly great, one of the best I've seen.

    Favorite FF Ending: Even though that it was a predictable ending, I really like FFIX ending. What the characters say its really true, the meaning of life. Another ending that I like most is FFVIII. At first I couldn't understand it, but later I found out what the ending really ment.

    Which FF had your Favorite Music?

    Final Fantasy 9 has my favourite music out of the whole series, i have learnt almost all FF9 music on piano, favourite pice of music from FF9 was the dark messenger, the electric guitar and the violins went very well to make kuja seem more powerful (even though in fact he wasnt )

    Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?

    Final Fantasy 7 had my favourite characters overall, the characters in FF7 had more background story than any other game, FF7 seemed more like a novel of sorts, which is why they have made a compendium of games around the FF7 story line.

    Which FF had your Favorite Character, and who is it?

    FF7, Reno, simply because of his laid back attitude, and his dress sense, now thats style. he was my favourite turk asside from vincent.

    Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?

    Final Fantasy X had my favourite battle system, the turnbased battle system made it easier to successfully plan out a controlled set of attacks, and prepare yourself for the worst.

    Which FF had your Favorite Villain, and who is it?

    Final Fantasy 7, everytime the sephiroth theme started i got shivers, especially the first time you see sephiroth descend into madness, "i am going to go to mother" <sephiroth theme> last order story continues to reactor </sephiroth theme> it was beautiful.

    Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?

    Final Fantasy VII has the best story line, it reaches way back into the past, and brings it into the present so gracefully. most final fantasy games to date have just been a one line story, but final fantasy 7 reached further, in a way that made you get into the story of these fictional characters, once again, like a great novel

    Which FF had your Favorite Ending?

    i dont like endings, endings mean its the end, so i will have to say FFVII, mainly because it is still going ^_^
    ...Maybe we are just puppets...

    Favorite music? Ohh...toughie >.< Prolly VIII. Although my favorite tracks were in other FFs, FFVIII had the best soundtrack overall. There was not a track I disliked. Each town theme, dungeon theme, battle theme, etc. suited the mood very well. Not to mention I'm very fond of the opening theme.

    My favorite characters belonged to VI, most definitely. 14 of them, and they were all lovable. Such diverse personalities, yet they all had their own moments of happiness, sadness, and laughter. I nearly choked before the final battle with Kefka, when they all stated why they still wanted to live T^T

    Faris from V is probably my favorite character. Not a very deep character in the slightest, but she still rocked. Brave, smart, .......pretty? :x Wut. Did I just say that?

    My favorite battle system is from XI. I love the emphasis on strategy and teamwork. Promyvion-Holla? Funnest battle EVER. Even the other types of fighting is fun as hell. Beseiged just...wins for being a massive battle with over 200 participants. Even then, the teamwork is still there, as everyone will communicate through /shouts on which NMs to kill and which generals to help. The /randoms at the end? Classic.

    FFVI's Kefka is definitely my favorite villain. Just because he was not your typical villain. I mean, dude. He's an insane clown. His lines are absolutely hysterical. Him being the game's comic relief AND main villain is absolutely precious. All that just adds to the sheer awesomeness of him conquering the world and becoming a god.

    My favorite storyline in an FF belongs to....X. I thought it was very well thought out and twisty. In addition to being a nifty allegory.

    Once again, X wins for having a great ending as well. I'm typically disappointed with the way Final Fantasies end. It's always, "Yay we saved teh wurld :D!" X, on the other was more "Yay we saved teh wurld :D! ...But at a cost :<"

    My Favorite Music was from Final Fantasy VII Dirge of Cerberus. Mainly thanks to the inclusion of a couple of songs by Gackt, they have the volume, the feel and an insane beat to boot. And Cait Sith's theme cracked me up a little during the game for some odd reason.

    I believe my favorite FF cast was that of FFVI. Kefka cracked me up, cyan cracked me up, fighting as a bunch of moogles cracked me up. And the characters I didn't find so funny such as Locke or Sabin had interesting things they did too.

    My favorite character from all FFs would probably be Reno. Sure he isn't really in the spotlight, he was never a main character, but something about him has always appealed to me. The fact that he can be psychotic yet controlled, and the messed up attitude and uniform from Advent Children (compared to Rude's at least) have made him a firm favourite of mine.

    My favorite battle system was that of FFVIII. I loved the Junction system and all the cool things you could tinker with, hell me and my mates had pimp my party competitions, where we spent ages junctioning our maxed out characters to see who could do the most damage to, or last the longest acting stupid against ultimecia. The only downside being that when you got a firm grasp of the concepts, the battles became almost too easy.

    My favourite villain was Kefka of FFVI. He had what future villains lacked. An insanely bad sense of humour and a lacking of brains. The funniest villain ever. He also dressed sortta funny which added to his less than typical big evil bad guy image.He was one of the things which made my love of Final Fantasy grow as big as it did.

    Storywise, probably FFVII. It was moving. It had shite graphics, yet it was moving. The bit were that Sephiroth killed Aeris, is still rooted in my mind, despite the fact it's been about half a decade since I last played FFVII. It brought tears to my usually way past dry eyes.

    I felt the best ending was that of FFVIII. It was happy, and even Seifer and his gang looked like they'd be happy in the end, except possibly Raigin who looked a little wet... All the characters looked like they'd make it except Ultimecia, but then again, it's a bit hard to make it when you're dead...

    Music--FFVII-- I fell in love with Aerith's Theme the moment I heard it... it was really a pretty simple song, but, for some reason, it has me nearly in tears everytime. The Ending Theme caused nearly the same emotion, and I thought it was a great "summing-up" piece. One Winged Angel was so powerful and actually a bit frightening, and easily was the best villain theme.

    Characters -- FFX -- They had a great variety of personalities, and the upgrade to PS2 hardware brought it out. Tidus was pretty whiny, but in the end became a good leader. Auron was very mysterious, but showed real devotion to fulfilling his promises. Wakka was just a really big kid, but had a heart of gold. Lulu used harshness to mask her vulnerability (I think). Yuna was trying to follow her fathers footsteps, but proved she could become a legend on her own. Kimahri was the ideal knight... fearless, devoted and very strong. Then there's Rikku... a sneaky little girl that always keeps you guessing. Most of the other games seemed to have pretty generic characters... the hero, the confused one, the girlfriend. FFX really brought charcter into the characters.

    Favorite Character -- Balthier from FFXII -- I know it's a little weird when you compare this to the answer above, but overall, Balthier is who I'd like to be. He's witty, charming, and come on, everyone loves a pirate He's kind of like Han Solo from an aristocratic background. I'll freely admit, I have not finished FFXII, so I don't know if my feelings will change or not. For now, though, Balthier is it.

    Battle System -- FFXII -- I chose FFXII for the simple reason of how different it is from all the others I've played. I absolutely love that you can see the enemies onscreen and can choose to fight or not. The gambit system also allows for a great reduction in the time that you spend micro-managing your party. Set up your gambits, and you can pretty much focus on one character while your others will take care of themselves.

    Villain -- Garland/Chaos from FFI -- This one is not easy to decide on. I think it's pretty neat that the first boss you fight in the game is really the last boss as well. You kind of get the same thing with Seymour in X, in that you fight him in different forms. But Garland is different. His first form, lets face it, is a complete pushover. He's dead, so we go on with the adventure. And then, we go 2000 years back in time, and who do we find? Garland! Only this time he morphs into the big ugly critter called Chaos. It was great fun the first tiem I played the game, and I like the concept still.

    Story -- FFX -- I like that this has, essentially, a two-fold story. On one hand, you have the boy looking for his father. On the other, the girl that wants to save her world from a thousand years of suffering. Very separate stories, but their paths flow together. But, the one story aspect that I loved the most, was that Tidus was a dream. That all the people of the Zanarkand that he knew, were dreams. Very unique, and touching.

    Ending -- FFX -- But it's a really hard choice. I've stated above that I love the ending of both FFI and FFX. I also love the ending to FFVII, but that's moreso for the music. Overall, it's got to be FFX. The world is saved from the recurring nightmare that is Sin... forever. Tidus overcomes his immaturity and successfully frees his father from Sin. And then there's Yuna's speech at the very end... "they're not truly gone, as long as we remember them." I may not have phrased it exactly as she says it, but what a statement of comfort to anyone who has lost a loved one. Ironically, I beat FFX about a week after my grandfather died. My dad and I shared a good cry after that... and we still talk about it to this day.

    Music

    My favorite arrangement of music in the series comes from FFVIII. Until VIII appeared on the scene, it had always been VI. My favorite themes--Forever Rachel & Celes--come from VI, but it lacks the compact soundtrack of VIII. VIII's music seems to always fit the mood perfectly, with contrasting forms that surpass any work that a midi ever accomplished. I love its great variety of music offered. A Must-buy FF soundtrack.

    Characters

    My favorite group of characters from any of the series comes from FFVI. It was the revolutionary Final Fantasy, that set the standard for those to follow--as far as in-depth character analysis. When I played VI for the first time...it brought the story to life. It made me feel as if I were a part of the adventure..as It breached through the lives of Locke, Terra, Edgar, Celes, Sabin, and the others, I understood their cause---They brought the story to life.. It served as the first game of the series that I was actually introduced to. It will always be my favorite.

    Character

    My favorite character comes from FFVIII. I believe that as an individual character, Squall was the most analyzed, took the most work to create, and is faced with more conflicts than any other--most of which within himself. In order to defeat his enemies and rivals, he had to face his own struggles, contrasting viewpoints, disappointments, hopes, and dreams. He serves as the most complex character in the history of Final Fantasy. He is my favorite.

    Battle

    My favorite battle system originates in FF tactics. It's astonishing how many components were placed within the system. It allows for more planning and strategy--rather than the frantic tactics of the active time system. Still allowing a great number of variables and competition--Tactics is my most enjoyed Final Fantasy when it comes to being involved in battles.

    Villain

    My favorite villain was in FFVII--Sephiroth. Representing the truest of evil intent, he fit the part of main villain in more ways than one. Many of the other FF's had main villains that contrasted the final boss expectations--such as VIII and IX. It was amazing how they could relate a character of absolute evil and allow him to be such a crucial part of the storyline throughout the entire game. Sephiroth is the perfect arch enemy.

    Storyline

    My favorite storyline came from FFX. The storyline was unbelievable. It had so many twists and turns, contradicting your expectations through every step of the way. The conflicts faced by each characters were brought about throughout the game--adding the the magnificent storyline that only adds to its greatness. An amazing and mysterious beginning--ending with the same touch--allows for your own interpretation of its greatness. I interpretted the game as the best--storyline-wise.

    The Finale

    My favorite ending came from FFVIII. I've always been taken with the adventurous aspect of FF games--but when one adds a romantic depth--It beefs up my viewpt. of the game. The ending was touched with romanticism, adventure, and an answer to the many mysteries that many of the characters possessed. The graphics, which are necessary for a truly great ending, were astonishing. Everything about the ending was perfect. From graphics and music to a suitable end to the storyline.

    Re: Favorite Final Fantasy [Intellectual Version]

    [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mydako
    [B]Unlike everyother cheap what is your favorite FF topic, I want this one to be Intelligent.

    I want you to tell your Favorite FF on several levels, and why.

    Which FF had your Favorite Music? VIII and VI. Kefka's tune is my favorite theme out of like anything, however the music doesn't fit the scenes as well as FF8. Eyes on me is a great song, and Liberi Fatali gave me goosebumps during all the times that I heard it.

    Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall? Defintely IV. Dark Knight Cecil just kicked ass. Rydia was able to give you an emotional level to follow on a female, seeing the death of her mother and everything. Selfless members like Cid and Yang sacrificed their lives, and Cid gave the quote about the middle finger. Kain is like no other character. The love triangle between Kain, Rosa, and Cecil increased the tension to a maximum amount and made me love and respect all the characters in the game. Except Edward.

    Which FF had your Favorite Character, and who is it? Final Fantasy VI. Can you say "Celes"? She had just about the most powerful moment in any game. She had in one hand the devotion to her friends and locke, many who had not trusted her because she was a general. In her other hand, she carried ruling the world along with Kefka(ostensibly). She had it all, and gave it away for her friends with one of the most powerful quotes in a game ever. "Power breeds only War. I wish I were never born!" She is able to overcome the demons of her past of being an evil general and come to the light, becoming my most beloved character in the process.

    Which FF had your Favorite Battle System? Although I'd like to say Chronotrigger, which I consider an FF game, it's not. So I'm forced to go with IV. I liked how IV did not let you complete meld every character into a mindless clone of all the other characters. Each character had individual strengths and weaknesses.

    Which FF had your Favorite Villain, and who is it? VI. Kefka edges out Sephiroth because of the laugh. He made me think clown; however, he has a point. Life, dreams.. where are those going?

    Which FF had your Favorite Storyline? VI and VII are tied. VI and VII both showed governmental corruption at its peak. They both had unexpected twists and are completely dear to my heart. Aeris and Celes are side-by-side....almost.

    Which FF had your Favorite Ending? X. The speech by Yuna, the deaths of many characters whom you had grown attached to over the time you had played the game. Hell, I cried.
    Whether we fall by ambition, blood, or lust
    Like diamonds we are cut with our own dust.

    Re: Favorite Final Fantasy [Intellectual Version]

    Which FF had your Favorite Music? I would have to say Final Fantasy IX, It had one of those sort of medival kind of music themes and i really loved every single track on the soundtrack.

    Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall? Final Fantasy 7, Definetley Final Fantasy 7, It had a cast of characthers that really come together in a way. Cloud was an awesome characther though, his story was really intresting and it made me want to find out more and more about him, Vincent is alos another favourite of mine.

    Which FF had your Favorite Character, and who is it? Final Fantasy 7 again, like i said above, Cloud looks cool, and he has some of the coolest Limit breaks, His story is also another thing i like about him.

    Which FF had your Favorite Battle System? Final Fantasy X, It was the old FF Battle system but it was totally changed in terms of how it was played, a very unique fighting system.

    Which FF had your Favorite Villain, and who is it? Final Fantasy 7, Sephiroth was a genius when it comes to destroying the world, and if you saw the ending you know what i mean, The way he looks is just plain evil and cool, i like his cold attitude aswell.

    Which FF had your Favorite Storyline? Final Fantasy 7, The story was simply maginficent, at times it was serious and others it was filled with humour, I loved the game and especially the story.

    Which FF had your Favorite Ending? This is a hard one, I personally loved Final Fantasy 8's ending, It concluded the game in a better way than FF7 and FF9.
    So yeah, I'd have to say FF8's ending was my favorite.

    I think my post got deleted previously because it wasn't long enough, so I'll post again!

    These are the FF games I have played (warning! May contain spoilers):

    FFVII- This was an amazing game. I liked the characters and gameplay. I definently thought Sephiroth was the ULTIMATE villain ever. The storyline was a little much. I had trouble weeding through all the possibilties and stuff. I mean, I got the main part, but there were still questions left unanswered, like I still don't really understand Seph's plan.

    Grade: B

    FFVIII- I loved this game. The music was awsome and the storyline...WOW! This was my first FF game so it will always be in my heart (LoL). I thought the characters great (except for Rinoa), and I didn't have any unanswered questions about the storyline. I liked the Junction System pretty much, too, eventhough a lot of people didn't. The ending was very good and offered a full, complete closure (not matter how many people believe Squall died).

    Grade: A

    FFIX- I thought this was a little dissapointing. It was a good game (as of any FF), but it just didn't please me as much as FFVIII and FFVIII. It was a good game compared to others, but compared to within it's kind, other FF games, it wasn't as superior. For one, I don't like "deformed" characters. I like human because it gives a realistic feel. I also thought the storyline was a little cheap. While gameplay was good, it wasn't enough to boost it up on my all time list.

    Grade: B-

    FFX- This was a great game. Gameplay, characters, music, graphics, all were outstanding. The ending was magnificent (had me in all out tears). I really liked the Sphere Grid a lot, too. The only thing I didn't really like was the storyline. It was good, but, like with FFVII, I had unanswered questions concerning what happened 1000 years ago and thing like that. Also, I thought the whole religion thing...it just didn't really appeal to me (no affence to those religious).

    Grade: B+

    Which FF had your Favorite Music?

    Probably FFVII. The battle theme has always stuck in my mind, and the Weapon theme has to be one of the best pieces of game music ever.

    Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?

    I would say FFVII, but then there were characters like Cait Sith and Yuffie (I dont hate Yuffie, just didnt use her as a character). So probably FFVIII. I found myself using all of the characters on a regular basis, and most of them had really believable personalities (Squall, Irvine, Seifer)

    Which FF had your Favorite Character, and who is it?

    Sephiroth, without a doubt. Noone has ever come close to matching his excellence. With such a cool appearence, excellent weapon and detailed past, you cant help but like him (unless you were a big Aeris fan, but then again, I liked her as well...) He may have been the villian, but he wasnt evil, just confused and lied to. The real villians of FFVII were Hojo and Jenova.

    Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?

    I havent got FFX yet (its not out here till 31st May) so FFVII for now. The materia system was so east to get to grips with, and the combo abilities were fun to set up. Plus there was the Omnislash. That move will never be equalled, not even by the Lionhart.

    Which FF had your Favorite Villain, and who is it?

    Sephiroth, obviously. See above for my many reasons. Actually, I dont consider him the villian any more.

    Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?

    I'd be inclined to say FFVI, but there were too many characters overall to have the story apply to them all, so again, FFVII. The number and scale of the plot twists kept you engrossed throughout, and from the offset you knew who you were after,m unlike FFVIII. You didnt know about Ultemacia untill near the end, which kinda annoyed me.

    Which FF had your Favorite Ending?

    FFVIII. The ending tied up all the loose ends, unlike FFVII, which was seemed to me unfinished. FFVIII's ending didnt leave anything unexplained, plus you got to see Seifer as a good guy, which was cool. And the home video during the credits was pretty funny!

    My favorite Final Fantasy is definately X. It was the first FF I played and I just ended up loving it.

    I'm stuck between FF VIII and FF VII for music. But, I ultimately choose VIII because when the situation was calm, calm music played, and when the situation looked bad, actiony music played. It also has one of my favorite final boss themes, The Extreme.

    Final Fantasy VI had an array of separate and interesting characters. All of them have fascinating or tragic pasts which motivate them.

    I don't have a single favorite character, as I am stuck between Squall from VIII, Vivi from IX, Gilgemesh from V(I don't consider him a villain), or Terra from VI. All of these characters I either enjoy or can relate to in a way.

    I can't decide between the ATB or CTB systems... I'm sorry if I can't really make a decision on these matters. Both were enjoyable and I used them to their fullest extent.

    My favorite villain would have to be Kuja from FF IX. Why? Ignoring that he managed to do in moments where other villains could only dream of, destroying a world in moments.... He is a also a ruthless character. Possessing the Eidolons and using them to bring about ultimate destruction, and that's how one become a giant dickcheese!

    Again, FF X had an amazing story with twists and new turns every once in a good while. You think you know how it will end, and then BOOM, a story twist changes your entire perception on the situation. I was even convinced up until the very end.

    *sigh* once.... again! FF X had a great ending. If I recall it was the first one to bring me to tears, and that happened three times afterward! It was just so heart-tugging that I lost it.

    This is the best Thread I have seen so far.

    Which FF had your Favorite Music?
    - I must say FFIX.It has the best battle music.Kuja theme sounds so evil
    and Rose of Maye Music piece is simply beautiful.

    Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?
    - Definitely FFVIII.The Characters in FFVIII are just great.They are so complex and interesting.All of them have interesting story a past,fears,wishes and secrets.Every one of them is done perfect especially Rinoa and Squall.They connection is amazing and they are one of the interesting characters.

    Which FF had your Favorite Character, and who is it?
    It would be Zidane Tribal from FFIX.He is one heck of a thief and best in Tantalus gang.He looks cool (Anime Style).Unlike Cloud and Squall he is not so serious,he is funny,strong,brave and also smart.

    Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?
    - FFVIII has the best Battle System.Yeah sure the Junction System is a little complicated in the beginning but when you handle it you can junction magic differently for every battle in the game.It is perfect for battle against opponents like Omega or Ultima Weapon.

    Which FF had your Favorite Villain, and who is it?
    - Again FFIX.Kuja Tribal is my favorite Villain in FF.He is cold with no emotions, pure evil obsessed with power.even the music surrounding him make him more evil.

    Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?
    The best Storyline has FFIX.The story is so deep so complex and every character is perfectly connected wit the story.FFIX has the best story in FF Series.I think that best segment of game is story and because of that FFIX is the perfect game.I also like the story from FFVI.

    Which FF had your Favorite Ending?
    - I would say FFVIII.A litle confusing end in the beginning but it all ends well.The scenes of Zell in the end movie are very funny.
