Which is your favorite out of the FF series and why?
Mine is VIII, but I've only played VII-XII excluding XI(online) and I played Tactics. VIII engrossed me by it's charcters and their depth, it story, even the music gets me pumped!!!!! And I freakin adore Squall Leonhart <3
I hated FFXII, major disappointment to me.
Love VII, like IX and X is so sad

shadowmask · 10-28-2009, 11:43 PM

Ten, because it had the best story, gameplay, and characters, imo. Also, it was the first one I played, so nostalgia is a factor too.

And yes it was very sad.

But I like sad stories.

spiderling · 10-29-2009, 02:07 AM

Final Fantasy III for the SNES. I think it's known as FFVI in Japan. Anyway, it's the one with Kefka as the villain. *Kefkaesque laugh*
I used to watch my brother play this all the time when I was younger. I played the game later in my teens. Some good dramatic storytelling without getting overly angsty. There's a lot of light moments in the game, as well as dark ones. Touched upon some fairly heavy stuff for an older game.
I love the large cast of characters. Terra, Locke, Shadow, Sabin, Cyan, Gogo... Ultros cracks me up everytime he appears on screen.
I don't know why, but I can't really connect with the characters in the other Final Fantasy games. I guess they just lack charisma or something. *shrugs*
Anyway, FFIII has the BEST soundtrack in my opinion. The opera was awesome and pretty epic, by the way. One of my favorite moments in the game.

Logan X · 10-29-2009, 06:27 AM

I agree that Final Fantasy III/VI had the best storyline, characters and gameplay. No Final Fantasy has come close since. FFIV is my second favorite. I loved the story as well.

I guess Tactics would come a close third. It's probably the Final Fantasy game i played the most. I had over 300 hours for sure.

The many classes and skills were so damn fun to use. Nothing was more fun than trashing monsters with a full party of monks, samurai or ninjas. But it was challenging too. You could easily make a mistake and have your party wiped out(meteor chocobo or mind flayer, anyone?).

Great fun, that game was.

kathy903 · 10-29-2009, 06:47 AM

final fantasy 12 is my favourite.. its also the only one ive ever played but oh well lol!

hi im joe · 10-29-2009, 06:53 AM

FFX is the only one ive ever played, its an awesome game. Ive looked at the other ones in the series, but they dont really interest me that much to go out & buy them.

Chisu · 10-29-2009, 07:38 AM

VIII is my favorite also, mainly because it was the first one in the series I played, but also because it had some epic music and a main character who was relatable.

VII, IX and X were great also. Never really got into XII, maybe some day.

illlaymedown · 10-29-2009, 12:29 PM

Better explanation of the ones 've played

VII- Best villain(Sephiroth), great music(Nobuo Uematsu is a musial genious), great story, pretty in depth characters, ok graphics considering the time frame it was made in, semi-sad death of Aeris although I have to admit I didn't really like her a lot.
VIII-I love the music most in this game(The Landing, The Legendary Beast, Liberi Fatali, Ending Theme, etc)lots of really epic songs, Squall reminds me of myself quite a bit so I can relate to him most, Squall's hot

, the graphics esp in cg were way better than VII, I love the battle system and the draw/junction which most tend to hate.
IX-Can't remember a lot about it :/ It was fun, graphics were great except they looked a bit like midgits, I felt sorry for Zidane and his little rat tail

X-This game was the first game to almost make me cry, not even gonna lie. That ending, gut-wrenching and you have no soul if that didn't get you. The graphics were to die for. The story was exceptional...didn't really like the turn-based battle system and the sphere grid was a bit annoying.
X-2-Charlie's Angels meets Final Fantasy!!!!!! An ok but not great game.
XII-This almost made me cry too, but in a "why the hell did I buy this piece of crap"kind of way. The fact that it carried the title FF gave me high expectations for it, but I suppose if it weren't a FF and/or it was the only one I'd ever played, I would've thought it was ok. The story was lacking, a lot of the music was ok but Nobuo didn't work on this one, the graphics were gorgeous, the characters weren't that deep to me.
Tactics-I barely played it...so freaking annoying to me. It didn't feel like a FF after I'd played the numbered version and it was very difficult to get used to.

rdrr · 10-29-2009, 12:34 PM

I like final fantasy 1 for the nes, i played that for hrs. on end. Then i liked ff4 then ff7, which was classic. ffx was the last one i played, but i still say FF1 was my favorite.

steelmyhead · 10-29-2009, 01:48 PM

I think 7 8 and 9 were all pretty good. I never finished part 8 though. 7 was actually the first one I had played since 1, and the first ps1 game I actually played, so it sticks out in my brain. I enjoyed 8 cause of the college-like atmosphere of the first part of the game.

njodis · 10-29-2009, 04:34 PM

ff6

Judi · 10-29-2009, 06:35 PM

Does anyone play spinoffs? I really loved Crisis core for Final fantasy VII, though I never played VII itself

The sequal for XII was also more fun than XII itself, but like most others I thought XII was a massive dissapointment and never finished it.
VIII was my first so I quite liked it, I attempted to play VII but got put off by the graphics. And the ending for FFX made me pissed off :< It was a sweet story. But I'm not going to bother playing FFX-2 to find out what happens.
I am one bossfight away from finishing FFIV, but I took a break and forgot about finishing it XD
And Dissidia had a crap plot, but it's fun to play as Final Fantasy characters, I like playing as Cloud and Zidane

I played and completed FFtactics advance, but not the original one. So much grinding!

illlaymedown · 10-29-2009, 07:42 PM

I can't afford all the console and crap for all the spin-offs unfortunately :/ I'd like to play them though. Especially the one with Zach. I'd like to play the older ones too but don't cus of that reason.

SPOILER ALERT: If you gett 100% completion on FFX-2 Tidus and Yuna reunite

and they hug without fading.......but I watched that on youtube cus f**k getting 100% on that game

Too difficult and not fun enough to hold my attention, plus my ps2 got destroyed or I'd probably try

thepretender · 10-29-2009, 07:52 PM

Crisis Core and VII are the only ones I have ever played for more than a few hours. CC is the only one I beat, the ending was sad.

Judi · 10-29-2009, 09:02 PM

Anyone who's played VII can just watch Crisis Core's ending, it's pretty much a scene from the game anyways, even though you know what's going to happen it's still sad to watch

I brought my psp for all these square enix spinoffs

I'm waiting for the next kingdom hearts, lol.

Haha, I heard the FFX-2 required to playthroughs to get 100% ending. I watched it too, but don't really get it since I haven't played it at all. Yuna runs like a **** (from what I remember) I'm glad Lightning runs properly in FFXIII |D

thepretender · 10-29-2009, 09:52 PM

I got my PSP years ago from one of those offer sites where you do like 5 offers for them and choose a gift. I honestly never play it anymore though.

thepretender · 10-29-2009, 09:53 PM

I do have Dissidia: Final Fantasy that I need to get around to playing though.

quietriverrunsdeep · 10-30-2009, 10:19 PM

I just got into the series a few years ago but now I love it. Unfortunately, most of the games aren't on Nintendo systems so I havn't got to play a lot of them. I have played Final Fantasy III and IV and I really liked those especially IV for it's great story. I played the Tactics for DS which was pretty good. I hope they remake more of the older ones for the DS or Wii or at least put them on the Virtual Console.

sabueed · 10-30-2009, 10:21 PM

VII is the best IMO because it has the best story and greatest villain ever. VIII, IX, X, and XII are all also amazing. The final fantasy games are above and beyond incredible.

Classified · 10-31-2009, 11:38 AM

VII is the last one I played (life got busy), but I am wondering if the next generation consoles will be out before Final Fantasy XIII is released. It looks really good.
