Final Fantasy Humour

What I wish Final Fantasys had more of is humour. Apart from FFIX, I think the games Ive played dont have enough laugh-out-loud moments.

In FFVII there was the bit with Clou dressing as a girl and Cid was quite amusing, but little else.

In FFVIII I cant remember much humour at all. Oh yeah, the stuff with Zone's magazines I think. That was quite funny.

In FFIX there was loooooaaaaads. And I loved it.

In FFX there were some sill moments, but little overall.

In FFXII there were some moments again (Vaan and Fran, Vaan and his theft) But still nothing much.

What about other FFs?

And what do you think? Do you wish that FFs had more light hearted humour? Certainly I do.

Well, it's difficult, as it mainly depends on what you really consider to be humour.

^True.

Was FFX-2 supposed to be humouous?
I didnt play it, but I strongly doubt I wouldve found it funny.

The mood in the game was alot lighter then in FFX. I at least think the game was funny :) , espally the scenes with Le Blac and the the famous hotspring scene :-)

Im all for an intriguing and mature plot line, but I dont think that jokes hinder its progression. They just improve character developement, and heighten the overall experience.

For FF6 humour, look no further than the combined might of Kefka and Ultros.

Above anything else, I love comedy, and now that you mention it I'm just about noticing that FF is very short on it. At least the earlier instalments had plenty of Engrish, and who could forget this classic from FFT:

agreed:p

Yeah it is good to see humour in Final Fantasy but not too much overwise it takes the seriousness of the story away.

I think FFIV had several funny moments, especially in the uncensored versions. The scenes between Edge and Cid, or Edge and Rydia, were usually funny, and the Spoony Bard scene must not be forgotten, either. :p Supposedly FFVA had plenty of humor as well. I don't think Ultros was that funny in FFVI, but I still thought Kefka was a joke. :p FFVII had some funny moments, which usually contained either the Turks, or Cid. FFIX was probably the funniest for me, not to mention some of the humor was based on the previous FFs ("No cloud or squall can hinder us"). There were some funny scenes in FFX-2 too.

Best ones in FFVIII is when you invite Quistis or Irvine in Zell's room the first time.
lol.
You either learn about Zell's unfortunate accident or the one he's about to get.

I agree. Not so much humour in other FF's than in IX. And i, too, loved the humour in that one. Oh, it was so awesome.
I can't remember anything particularly funny in VIII but i'm sure it had its lighter moments or.. whatever.
X, something funny there too but not so fantastic humour as in IX.

Squall hitting Zell on the head with the handle of his gunblade was probably the funniest part in FF8.

Irvine shooting Zell in the rear was the funniest one.
(I knew he would)
Zell waiting in line to get hotdogs at BG, realising none were left when it arrived on his turn.
Zell chocking on his hotdogs at the end, loosing his pigtail girl.
Irvine laughing at Zell, getting punched in the face.
Irvine waving at BG Girls, not filming Selphie.
Selphie getting angry.
Zell running in BG to get his hotdogs, getting cauth by Seifer.
Ya know. Ya know? (bespoken by Raijin)
Zell: Were here to liberate Timber, ya know.
Uh, I mean.
Were here to liberate Timber.
Zone stomach hurting while Watts takes info like a 'sir' cadet. Odd, the only one with guts in the group is the often helpless Rinoa.
Zell's little insident with his T-Board, taking a sharp turn and landing in the women's bathroom.
What is that thing real!? No wonder, I'm getting out of here! Sir Knight, I must bid you farewell. (Good Luck with the Ruby Dragon, Laguna)
Kiros: Don't tell me were lost again...

Yeah, there were a # of them.

Oh yeah, Zell and Seifer were the best things about FFVIII character wise.

Zell cracked me up.

Awful Fantasy was the best ever.

Then in FFVII there were a few funny parts. The parts with Don Corneo were the funniest, especially if you're able to get Cloud in with him, and you play along, then Tifa and Aeris come and they're like, "Cloud, what are you doing?!"
lol
Then the funniest part in FFIX was when you first see Kuja, because he's wearing lingerie.

Final Fantasy 6.

EDIT: Also Vaan asking Fran her age was somewhat humorous XP

I like some humour in my FF games, maybe the reason I don't enjoy VII as much as some others.

Quina I always found stupidly funny. "Yummies."

Not again, child! You're seriously teetering on insanity...

I'm easily amused. I'm prone to bursting into laughter in awkward moments.

FFV had some funny momments. Gilgamesh was priceless. "It's time we fight like men. And ladies. And ladies who dress like men." :lol: There was a bit of humor in II *coughLamiaQueencough*, IV, and VI. IX also had its moments, many of them Kuja's. :D
