i was just thinking which final fantasy you guys like best mines FF4 and 5
This is supposed to be in General FF
I've played all FFs except VIII, X-2, and XI, and my favorites FF VI, FF IV, FF IX, FF I, FF III, and FF II. But IMO the best FF is FF VI
*moves to General FF*
Mine is still FFI. :cat:
The Greatest? umm, a really good question...
FINAL FANTASY VI ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!! :D
FF8, by a mile;)
Starts with an F and ends with a 7
Hard to say really. They're all cool for one reason or another, they each have different vibes, different settings, different gameplay tactics, different worlds, etc. etc. Despite the fact that it's the same series, it's nigh on improbable to start comparing them directly due to the large amount of differences that exsist between each game. Each game, in theory, could stand, and does stand, and a seperate entity, not part of a whole but rather an entire different section altogether.
Having said that I'll go with FF2, just because I can.

I'm very tempted to agree. Though all we have is he looks quite girly, and thats not normally the best to go off of, I mean look at Kuja. Girliest there is but he rocks.Quote:

ff9 kicks ass all the way so ha and ha and a light cuckle hehehehe:D
i think that such threads arrive on a regular basis
VI
VII+X
FFIX!
It because I'm playing FFX right now, it have raised my affection to FFX to the number third which closely followed by VIII while VII is still number two. FFIX IS THE WINNER!
Well, lets see...
FINAL FANTASY VI and FINAL FANYASY IX Tied in first place.
FFIX.
FF-X
from time to time and always the same...Final Fantasy VIII.
Zidane: FFIX ftw, why? Three words: Zidane and Garnet!
FFIX! I got 3 words Vivi and Eiko!:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:
My favorite FFIX characters!Quote:

Oh, is it that time again?
Anyway, the answer remains the same. Final Fantasy Tactics. Although I've high hopes for XII, since the same person did the story.
Zidane: I don't, but then again, I've never really care too much for Tactics, no offense, but the story was a bit odd and farfetch'd, I think St. Ajora was like suppose to be an evil Jesus Christ or something, and that just doesn't flow real well where I come from.Quote:

FFXI
I would say either FFVI, VIII, or X. I loved all of their stories and characters a lot ^^ I don't know what Square was thinking with IX and X2 though -_-; FFX2 was a fun game but it didn't meet the 'Final Fantasy' standards. My main problem was that Rikku and Yuna seemed to ignore all character development they had from FFX

My favorite is Final Fantasy VII.
Don't kill me over and tell me I'm a fanboy, because I HAVE beaten all of the traditional final fantasy games AND my first one was definately not FFVII.
I'm sure that if I played FF back when FFVI (as FFIII) just came out, I would have liked it better than VII because the marketing and fanboys would have ruined it for me.
Anyways, my second and third favorites are FFVI and IX.
I love all of the games,
FF7 is my favourite one.
That's all I'm saying.
I'm no fanboy.
FFVII fanboy: hardcore fan of FFVII, and usually only interested in anything that's involving FFVII, and the Final Fantasy games after FFVII. No interest at all in the ones before FFVII.
I think that's right, no?:rolleyes2
Well, i'm definetly not a FFVII fanboy, i just think the story and characters of FFVII's got me interested the most of 'em all. ^^
FFT All the way
Um...what? :D :confused:Quote:

Once I get my hands on the rest of my collection list(Exculding FF11 and Crystal Chronicals) I'll let you know. ;)
FIANAL FANTASY TACTICS PWNS.
PERIOD
Next in line is 7,9,8,1 then 2 FF 10 is somewhere in the negatives
Final Fantasy 9....i was most addicted to this game then any other FF
FFVII.
Did I post already?
Well, whatever. With a new reincarnation for DS coming up, III is my obvious favorite. Followed by VI, and all the rest tied at third, because I love them like children. :cat: :love: :cat:
FFVII and FFX
I always loved the premise of Final Fantasy Tactics (and LOVED it's many plot twists), but it is hard to break Final Fantasy VI's endless characters and dynamic storyline. I never cared for much of Final Fantasy VIII's story, but it's use of the themes of love, loneliness, and friendship is stand-alone in the series.
When it comes to characte examination and in-depth history/story, Final Fantasy VII tops the list. As faras addictive gameplay is concerned, I still love taking out my original Final Fantasy (though my NES works less and less these days).
It really depends on my mood at the time, since they are all awesome games. I guess it's a tie between VI and VII then.
Final Fantasy X-2 :kaocheer:

I guess they're afraid of evil people who hate FFVII fanpersons. Even though there really aren't that many of those people here, just people that actually, genuinely enjoy the game, without obsessing over it.
FFVII or FF Tactics.
Please dont flame because if you do I will flame you 10x worse.
FF: The Spirits Within, because i'm too lazy to pick up a controller
but seriously, i couldn't pick one game over the others, they're all addicting (with the exception of ff2, the stats system just ruined that for me), so i will make it a tie between ff1, ff4, ff5, ff6, ff8, ff9, ffx, ffx-2, and even ff7 (despite the many, undeniable plot holes)
Zidane: Why would anyone want to flame you? That's your opinion, and it;s a good opinion might I add, those are pretty good games...minus the St. Ajora thing, as I said earlier, an evil Jesus Christ-like character doesn't flow well from I'm from.Quote:

People will say because the Lifestream was acting up, but the Lifestream essentially is the planet.
Plot Hole #3- If Sephy was in Northern Crater the whole time, how did he release Jenova, take the Black Materia, or kill Aeris. And before anyone says it was Jenova manipulating Cloud's mind to make him think it was Sephiroth, why didn't the other characters say anything? And it wasn't a clone because Hojo says they were only created to see if they would come to the Reunion
Please don't take any offence out of this next line, or my entire post for that matter, but people who usually say that something has a plot hole, are those who didn't take time to understand the story.
So did Sephiroth, so did Jenova's head. Both were recovered. So what's this plot hole again?Quote:

How could you miss this?Quote:
Originally Posted by Griff
Again, no offence, but play the game again, and listen to the story elements (I mean, it's hard not to - they are everywhere) about the Reunion, about Jenova's abilities, and about Sephiroth himself.Quote:

#1- Sephiroth's body was found in Northern Crater encased in hardened Mako, it was never "recovered" in any way. As for Jenova's head, where in the game does it say anything about it being thrown in the lifestream, much less recovered? And even so, it states directly in the game that "Sephiroth is the only person who can weild that sword"Quote:
Originally Posted by Amaru
#2- The Weapons were awakened after Meteor was summoned, to try to protect the planet. Weapon and Holy are two seperate entities with the same general purpose. You make it sound as if Weapon was awakened as part of Holy. My point here is that why would Weapon attack Mideel, a town that only causes damage to the world's fish population, and leave all the town's with reactors at peace. As I said before, the other attacks on Junon and Midgar make sense, but attacking a small fishing villiage doesn't. And even if Holy and Weapon were connected, why would Weapon go after the town when the actual spell only went after Midgar?
#3- Jenova couldn't have freed itself from captivity, if it could have it wouldn't have waited around for however long, that's just common sense,it couldn't actually be Sephiroth because he is dead and encased in Mako and the clones are shown as being physically weak so often through the game up to reunion that it's implausible for one to make it through a crapload of ShinRa guards, free Jenova, and kill the President with a sword it can't weild. As for the Black Materia and Aeris' death, no matter what anyone says it is it is just theory, nothing is ever stated about either as concrete evidence .
Also, don't question the intelligence and understanding of someone when your best argument is "go back and play the game again" and you provide no real evidence to support your point.
I didn't question your intelligence. I questioned your understanding of events by calling these three points plot holes when they are clearly not. And from your response that I have skimmed through, you clearly do need to go back and play the game. Again, please don't take this as a veiled insult, as it's not, it's a suggestion to broaden your own understanding of events. I could stand here and give you solid point after point, but if you don't play the game and see it for yourself, you're not going to take any of it on board.Quote:
Originally Posted by Griff
Right, let me take each of those points in turn. During the Nibelheim incident when Cloud attacked Sephiroth from behind, he was holding Jenova's head - as he had recovered it from the Reactor's core. During the Sephiroth / Cloud struggle, when Cloud managed to hold on and threw Sephiroth into the Lifestream, Sephiroth was still holding Jenova's head. Sephiroth always had Jenova's head with him. It's how he learned more about her and her abilities when he was traversing the Lifestream and ended up in the Northern Crater.Quote:
Originally Posted by Griff

This next part is such a mute point that it doesn't even deserve debating. The fact is, Sephiroth was thrown into the Lifestream where his sword was. It's not that hard to conceive that it was recovered, through some mental act or otherwise.
Again, this is why I said that you need to play the game again. You missed, or simply did not read properly, the entire Burgenhagen segment of the game. The Weapons were forged during the birth of the Planet itself, as a way for it to defend itself in dire need. They will attack all those that are hurting the Planet. Like you mentioned, Holy serves the same general purpose, but Burgenhagen clearly explained that how it's power was unleashed, was directly up to the Planet itself. Humans itself could be seen as a threat. They build, they have wars, they destroy, they sap the Planet's lifeforce. Though they first targeted the main 'war' places, like Junon and Midgar, the Weapons attacked indescriminately at humans, further highlighting the point that humans itself could be seen as a threat to the Planet.Quote:
Originally Posted by Griff
However, with Meteor falling, the group had no choice but to press on for Holy anyway. It was their only chance in a situation which could see them all destroyed, or saved.
Huh? So you're saying that through the entire game it wasn't Sephiroth and it wasn't Jenova? Seriously, this is why I asked you to replay the game. It wasn't a snide comment, it was to enhance your understanding of things, because if you currently don't believe, or understand, in either of those two, then you've missed a huge chunk of the actual storyline.Quote:

However, neither of us seem to have a problem understanding the two major forces behind the game, like you seem to, only how they were executed. You say that Sephiroth is dead and has no presence in the game. you say that Jenova can do nothing, and even further, I have no idea what you are saying about the Black Materia and Aeris' death being just a theory.
Please take a look at the Jenova and Sephiroth thread in the Final Fantasy VII subforum. Through the opposing arguments, you'll see the power and presence that these two have in the game, and it should help you understand a lot of in-game aspects.
Again, don't take any offence by me asking you to replay the game, but even with all the points that I have made, you aren't going to fully understand them unless you play again and properly read through the storyline. Either way, my initial point remains. Those issues that you highlighted simply aren't plotholes.
In the case of the ShinRa building at least like i said at that time Sephiroth was encased in Mako and if Jenova could've escaped itself it would have way before Cloud and Co. convieniently got there, so what freed it? Like I said before the clones are too weak to get past the guards and if it was Sephiroth's "spirit" able to cause actual harm, it would have been able to get the Black Materia from TOTA since as a spirit, he has no physical body to get crushed.Quote:
Originally Posted by Amaru
What I meant by that is that no proof is given about who or what takes the Black Materia or kills Aeris. Some people say Jenova disguised as Sephiroth, some say Sephiroth's spirit, one person tried to tell me that Holy requires a sacrifice to work and Aeris was showing Cloud and the gang an illusion of Sephiroth stabbing her to keep them on the trail while she lets herself die (although that would explain the lack of a hole or blood). What i'm saying is all of these are just theories and no definative proof can be found in the game for any one of them. It's the same case for when Tifa and Cloud are under the Highwind, but no one sane cares if the had sex or not.Quote:

Jenova didn't escape itself. Sephiroth's will was projected into Jenova. He then gained control of her, caused her to transform into his image, and then broke out.Quote:
Originally Posted by Griff

Sephiroth couldn't give up his only physical link to the world (i.e Jenova's body), but like Cloud and the others mentioned, it meant nothing to him to get one of the clones to do it, which is why Cait Sith was sacrificed in the first place - so that they could get their hands on it first.
What the group didn't realise at the time was that this was what Sephiroth wanted anyway. He wanted Cloud himself to bring it to him.
The official writers of the video game, the official compendium, various websites, the majority of the fans, and a majority of the in-game text provide this absolute answer - it's Sephiroth in control of Jenova's body. It was whilst in Jenova's body that he killed President Shinra and Aeris. This isn't a theory, this is the truth. Even if you don't want to belive the game writers (for whatever strange reason you'd do that) the evidence and proof is all there. You just need to look closely at the clues, at the explanations, and what is being said during events, and when.Quote:

But yeah, if you want, we can continue this in the Jenova and Sephiroth thread, so that this one can get back on topic...
FFIX is the best.
FFVII, FFVIII, FFVI, FFV, FFIV are also good.
For me FF8 will always be my favourite and best FF. Im not sure which would follow, 7 or 9. 7 has gotten annoying for me because its getting milked far too much now and 9 wsa never a fav to begin with. Actually, 8 then X2!
well my oppinion on X-2 is,'music video' it just didn't work as FF.
Wha? Sorry but that made no sense. FFX2 is music video? It did work as an FF, FFX2 fans?
there aren't any fans. It's probably the worst Square game. Worse than KH.
Well now, you better get ready to get your butt kicked by FF and KH fans :irked:Quote:

But you kjnow, for BOTH of us it's good to know that what you said and I said are both opinions.
...I remember Freya. I know 9 is better than X-2. Heck, I bet even that online XI is better than X-2. But, if you liked it good for you.Quote:

"I'm so tr0000! teh medeival FF are teh siht"
It's ok not to like it, I mean, I do respect FFIX and it's purpose, but you don't see me b*tching 'bout how bad it is or how much I dislike it.
And it's good that Final FantasyX/X-2 aren't like most FFs(I still don't know what you mean 'bout that).
There's a thing you should learn my friend, being different is what makes this world better.
examples:
-Whites thinking they're so devine that anyone who's brown or not as pale as them is not great.
-People who hate gays/lesbians.
hahaha...i agree with you...and the next best ff game should be FF12Quote:

I like IX more than X. X have poor storyline, poor character and too easy! IX in the other way, have complicated storyline, the character are well made and you don't obtained summon earlier which make the game quite difficult.
FFX - "Yuna, Call the aeons"
FFX - "Alright, you idiot, I wished I live in Gaia (FFIX world)"
FFX - Valefor come and Energy Ray can easily kill the enemy.
Final Fantasy IX will remain my second favourite FF forever.
Oh wow, your contradiction is blinding and not worthy of any real response. The fact STILL remains that FFX stepped ALL OVER FFIXQuote:

I heard a rumor that if you hate one Final Fantasy enough it will morph itself into your favorite.
Anyway, I liked VI well enough, but I played it right after Chrono Trigger and that kind of made it seem..less impressive I think. So between 7 though X-2, X-2 I liked a lot but it's at the bottom, 7-9 I like equally, and I like X juuust lil' bit better...so X is my favorite ^_^ Aren't you all glad I gave such a detailed explanation? I read your minds and saw how much you cared, so I had to post this whole paragraph.
DeathKnight: stop jumping on everyones posts and disregarding their opinions. There is absolutely no need for you to contradicte whatever it is they are saying, especially in thread. Taking it to PM is fine (if they want your to), but next time do it before you make your second post. Also, watch your language.
I'm a newbie here, very interesting thread. I had lots of fun reading all your opinions on this magnificient series. I have been a fan since 1991, when I first played FFIV with a friend of mine, been hooked ever since.
I think every game in the series has great and memorable moments, I don't think any of them is purely bad, even FFX-2, has some good points...not many but still. Of course, I have my favorite, like everybody else. So here's my little opinion of the subject.
Final Fantasy
A true classic, a revolution in the RPG realm, very entertaining even today. 9 out of 10
Final Fantasy II
Kind of dislike the level building system but the story is great. Love the music, just don't know why. 7.5 out of 10.
Final Fantasy III
Good game with great character, new class systems, very interesting overall but not many memorable moments makes this one one of my least favs. 6.5 out of 10
Final Fantasy IV
My first encounter with the series, legendary cast, very good story and music, classic moments and one of the greatest RPG's of the Super Nes Days makes this one a near masterpiece. 9.5 out 10
Final Fantasy V
A change of pace, jobs sytems is interesting, love it. Good music, enjoyable story and great playability overall. Somes nice moments. 8 out of 10
Final Fantasy VI
Everything about this game is sublime. The story,music,moments,characters, I love every seconds I play it. This is my favorite game of all-time, it had a huge impact on my life when I was a teenager, I will treasure it forever. Yes, the world is square. 10 out of 10.
Final Fantasy VII
Another masterpiece, another revolution in the game world. Endless hours I spent playing this game, being obsessed about it. Did I forget to mention my little darling, my video game love, miss Tifa Lockhart! Loads of memorable moments, The last great masterpiece of the series if you ask me. 10 out of 10.
Final Fantasy VIII
I think I'm in the minority here but this game, althrough being good in itself,it did not the same impact on me as the others. I never got into it like somes others did. Many great scenes but overall, a dissapointement for me. 7 out of 10.
Final Fantasy IX
A return to classic FF mythologies, largely underated in the RPG fan community, this one is a real winner. Very beautiful game, the story is captivating, everything about it has a special feel to it but still, it misses a little something to make it even better. 9 out of 10.
Final Fantasy X
Voices...to hear voices in a final fantasy game was really something when this one came out. It took some time for me to get into it but when it did, WOW, what a ride. Many great moments but some scenes are just way too long, not enough gameplay. Still, the good points are there, a superb piece of work that will live on in the hearts of this series. 8.9 out of 10.
I don't include FFX-2 here...don't think it deserves the title "Final Fantasy"...
Final Fantasy XI
I am not into online gaming, never played it much. Waiting for XII...Just can't wait!
So that's it. Thanks for reading.
FF6 and FF7 are mine - I really can't wait for XII to come out for PS2 though.

FFVII

Ill have to stick with IX, mainly because I really liked it and it was the first FF that I was able to complete uninterupted. X and X-2 come real close though.
So I get to go over them all? Hey, why not.
FFI: I can see how it improves over the games of its era. Great music, revolutionary in-battle movements (for the time, mind you), and sheer re-playability if only to try different party combinations and figuring out how the time-loop works for sure. ****
FFII: Also pretty revolutionary. ("Dramatic RPG", it says in the instruction booklet for FFIII.) Granted, they hadn't really gotten it down perfectly..they needed a few more games to get the hang of it. It's system takes some time to get used to (if you're used to the other games), but really isn't hard to abuse at all. Started surreal crystalline outer space final dungeon trend that appears in alot of RPGs. Also introduces Chocobo (singular), and Cid. ****
FFIII: Think FFI. Now multiply it by three and add in one-dimensional characters from FFII, and put that in the same game. Yeah. Pretty awesome. Memorable music, and the first job-system game. Introduces many FF mainstay jobs, and Moogles. Generally considered one of the more difficult games of the series, if only for some frustrating moments.*****
FFIV: The series becomes more advanced. In addition to characters with more than one dimension to them, and enhanced music and graphics from the Super Famicom, introduces another series mainstay: ATB. However, no new forms of customization are implemented. Has a traditional level-up system like classic RPGs. Also has Zeromus, who is actually somewhat of a challenge. (If only that you can't figure out what the hell he actually is...) Bio has an awesome sound effect.****
FFV: Getting more advanced. Enhanced backgrounds. Uses a job system like FFIII. The main character is a pimp. This game is so intense that every location you visit will explode, be attacked, get ruined, transform, or be sucked into a black hole. (I'm half joking.) Also introduces a true 'superboss', although there was Death Machine before it. ****
FFVI: First really modern FF. Not only does it have an industrial time period, truly complex characters, and nifty religious allusions, it also set out concepts re-used in later FFs and RPGs in general. (So basically, religious allusions. And angelic final bosses. Just wait until FFVII, oh boy.) Enhanced environments, backgrounds, music, and sprites. Extensive use of Mode 7 graphics. However, pretty buggy. (Granted, you'd have to do most of them on purpose, but there are alot of bugs.) Introduces 'Desperation Attacks', which grew into Limit Breaks later in the series. One of the optional characters is a past governer of Illinois, or so I've been told. *****
FFVII: First FF in 3D, and on the Sony Playstation. Also the first worldwide FF, perhaps making the series more 'mainstream', if you wanted. Revolutionary, regardless of if you hate it or not. Materia system offers more customization than ever before, if only for destroying any uniqueness the characters had in battle. Environment is even more modern, moving on to ~21st century technology. Also introduces spiffy FMV sequences, and Kitten Sith as a playable character. Yes, Lego people are pretty funny. ****
FFVIII: Even more enhanced backgrounds, and graphics. Junction system allows customization; but horribly broken. (They really needed to look it over a few times, seriously.) Quistis and Zell playable characters. One of my personal favorite soundtracks. 'Special Attacks' are the Limit Breaks of this game, and they're pretty broken too. Also has Laguna, the coolest FF character ever. ****
FFIX. Imagine a bucket of nostalgia. Now drink it. DRINK IT! DID I SAY YOU COULD STOP?! Yeah. FF references up the hooha, and a more traditional environment system. We can equip armor again. Yay. Abilities are also learned from equipment, which was pretty cool. Nothing too new, but that was the whole point. And you all knew you liked Kuja. Admit it. *****
FFX: First FF on the PS2. True 3D environment, not pre-rendered.Island environment. (Okinawan, if you want to be specific.) This is probably why Japan ranked it #1, if not because they seem to like RPGs anyway. Gives us the Spere Grid as a customization system, pretty innovative, to be sure. Also fairly abusable. Also introduces frustrating mini-games, like Blitzball, Lightning Dodger, and those goddamn butterflies. ***1/2
FFT: Imagine the job system. Now put it on crack. Taking a break from active time, going to a more tactical system of battle. (Hahaha.) Not to mention that all main characters will betray you/be betrayed/are evil/any combination of those three. While daunting at first, the customizations system can offer godlike status, and of course, Orlandu. (I mean, you could just play with him and win easily, y'know. Seriously.) ****
Anyway, I couldn't possibly pick a favorite, though I like FFIII and FFVI the best. And I like lists! Lists are fun. Kitten Sith needs his own casino spin-off game with Laguna.
I palyed ff 6 on an emulator and its now my favorite
origionaly bespoken by Zeromus_X
actually that is incorrect, in ff 1 (at least on the remake) it mentioned cid, even though he wasnt actually in itQuote:
Also introduces Chocobo (singular), and Cid. ****
I like V-X alot, I really can't pick a favorite. Sometimes I could say VII, other times IX, then X, but you just can't beat how great the games V and VI were and they're all better for different reasons.
