FF Has had some pretty awesome magic spells over the years, and as we all know, there are four 'ultimate" spells which are: Flare, Holy, Meteor, and Ultima. So which spell is your favorite and more specifically, which is your favorite version in the series?

Okay, I guess I will go first. Meteor is actually my favorite of the ultimate spells, and I usually look forward to seeing it in games. Though I have been a bit sad that it hasn't been a major ability for the player in a while besides in the MMOs. In fact, it's interesting how lately, some of these spells are slowly turning into enemy only type deals.

My favorite version of the spell is FFIV's surprisingly. It left quite a bit of an impact on my middle school brain, but I am also a fan of all the other versions of the spells.

I always liked Holy. When a Black Mage-type character gets an offensive spell upgrade, it's par for the course, but when you get Holy for a White Mage, it's like, "Wow, you can do a ton of damage too."

And then in FFIV, Rosa would get Holy faster than Rydia would get Meteor, so you were more likely to get it before the end of the game, so it felt even more awesome there. I also have fond memories in FFVIII of spamming Holy using Rinoa's Angel Wings limit break that put her into a magic berserk state.

Going with Ultima, though there's not really a lot between the big ones for me.
