Oh, forumboards. This takes me back. I haven't been a member on a FF-centric board since about 2005. Well, here I am on a new one, since I miss discussing Final Fantasy endlessly.

Guess you'll want to know about which games I've played and whatnot. That'll be... most of the series then :jess:

FFI & FFII - PSP versions. I love Firion. Nuff said.

FFIII & FFIV - DS versions (didn't finish either though I think, might go back to FFIV again)

FFV & FFVI - Stop bringing out sequels, SE, and remake these so I can play them!

FFVII & FFVIII - 7 is great as most would agree. I could go on but I won't. 8 is fine enough, but I gave up at the end of disc 3 since I just couldn't get the hang of the junction system, and spamming GFs wasn't working any more...

FFIX & FFX - These will forever be my favourites, purely for nostalgia value. Also because I loved IX's more "traditional" fantasy setting, and FFX for Auron. Just..... Auron. And the battle system, oddly enough.

FFXII & FFXIII - Oh man, 12 was a big disappointment for me. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, I finished it, but it didn't feel like traditional FF at all. FFXIII was a big improvement, but I really wished there'd been more town/world/NPC interaction/exploration.

I've dabbled a tiny bit with the gaiden games (Tactics, Chrystal Chronicles etc), but didn't find anything too inspiring there. So that's a main summary! As for me, I'm a student, from London, my other favourite game series is Castlevania aaaand I like chocolate. The end.

Welcome fellow Englishperson! Hope you enjoy your stay. You may wanna note that you put IV rather than VI and XIII rather than XII ;D

hiya. you are so wrong about 12, it is great. you are right about 5 and 6, and we discuss them a lot.

I hated XII, so much. Then I replayed it and really enjoyed it! And VI is the greatest game ever!

hiya. you are so wrong about 12, it is great. you are right about 5 and 6, and we discuss them a lot.How come I'm wrong about 12? I personally found most of the characters to be a bit bland and wasn't all that interested in the political-style plotline. I know some people liked this change of style though.
Not wild about the battle/gambit system either. The world and its environments were beautiful though.

Welcome to the forums. I'm your fellow obnoxious newbie TrollHunter and I will try to put on my best behavior. (slightly less obnoxious and more-or-less quiet)
I hope you enjoy your time here at EoFF.

You are really going to mess with a man who spends his free time building weapons?

You're really going to threaten a man who spends his free time murdering people with his mind?
OnTopic: Heh... Sorry 'bout that.

Forgive my late, but warm, greetings, mashowasho.

IX is always a great pick for a top Final Fantasy because it simply is the best. Good work.

Also, I must admit I stalked for additional information and must say this: I do like your art. I specifically enjoyed your rendition of D because he is my favorite vampire (I know, I know, dhampir). Your lines are nice and clean, and your coloring is silky smooth. If you do more, please consider sharing it in our art forum.
