Final Fantasy Adventure

[Bunny]

Final Fantasy Legend 1-3 were the first games released in the SaGa series of games. They have the Final Fantasy name but they are not Final Fantasy games themselves. This also goes for Final Fantasy Adventure, which is a member of the Seiken Densetsu / Mana series of games.

I remember hearing that, but none the less they are still final Fantasy's in America therefore I shall treat them as Such.

Yes, the best KH Character is my most hated FF Character and the Worst FF In KH was a really cool character. I don't know how that one happened.

FFVIII- A bit too forced
Best Gameplay
FFII

FFVIII
Best Characters
FFIX
Worst Characters
FFI-no personality. Granted, that's due to when it came out...
Best Character
Zidane- it's nice to have a hero who isn't moody/angsty/depressed. And Zidane really was likeable.
Worst Character
Leon, FFII. For reasons that could fill a book.
Best Fanbase
No opinion
Worst Fanbase
FFVII- nothing against the game, just the rabid fankids
Best Sidequests
FFIX
Best Overall New Generation (FFVII-XII) games
FFIX
Best Overall Old Generation (FFI-IV) games
FFII (alright, so I'm biased. But this is an underrated game.)

Worst Overall FF
FFVIII (so much wasted potential. )
Best Villian
*points to avatar* *points to sig* What? It's a toss-up.

Meh. Ultimecia didn't really impress me.

Worst opening
FFI(origins) Didn't really have a point.

Those are ultimately pointless. Opening, Ending, and Theme could all fit into the "Best/Worst" story catagory, thus eliminating their need. Final Fantasy is a very formuliac series and I do not find it to be incredibly innovative any more, with the exception of Final Fantasy XII's battle system. Plot Twist signifies surprises within the story, which could also go under that catagory, and are generally not present within the series as there are very few real plot twists. Chocobo and Moogle design? Why.

1. Best Story
- Final Fantasy VI.
Worst Story
- Final Fantasy X. (Final Fantasy I should not be measured on the same field as the rest of the games in the series. It was highly experimental and far from as "epic" as the rest of the games, mostly due to it being impossible to do that. Name one game that was both epic and the beginning to an awesome series. And also created in the late 80s.)
2. Best Gameplay
- Final Fantasy XII.
Worst Gameplay
- Final Fantasy II
3. Best Characters
- Final Fantasy VI/Final Fantasy XII
Worst Characters
- Final Fantasy VII
4. Best Character
- Mog, Final Fantasy VI and Balthier, Final Fantasy XII.
Worst Character
- Tidus, Final Fantasy X.
5. Best Voiceovers
- Final Fantasy XII.
Worst Voiceovers
- Final Fantasy X.
6. Best Fanbase
- Final Fantasy series.
Worst Fanbase
- Final Fantasy series.
7. Best Sidequests
- Final Fantasy XII. Although not surprising, as most Final Fantasy's had terribly annoying sidequests, Final Fantasy XII included. It was just the best of the worst.
8. Best FF Character in KH
- Kingdom Hearts is a spin-off, not a Final Fantasy series game.
Worst FF Character in KH
- Kingdom Hearts is a spin-off, not a Final Fantasy series game
9. Best Overall New Generation (FFVII-XII) games
- Final Fantasy XII.
10. Best Overall Old Generation (FFI-IV) games
- Final Fantasy VI. (What happened to Final Fantasy V and VI being included in the Older Generation?)
11. Best Overall FF
- Final Fantasy XII.
12. Worst Overall FF
- Final Fantasy VII.

It's interresting to note that the other message board I belong to (FFWA) seems to like FF8 a lot more and hate FF9 a lot more. Seems to be the opposite here.

Chocobo and Moogle design? Why.

All though we are all entitled to our own opinions, I feel that the topics I mentioned were important (O.k. the Chocobo/moogle thing is pretty pointless, but I wanted to do it cause it's fun.) Opening, Ending and themes are not directly related to how good the game is overall. For instance, I hate FFX with a passion but I really enjoyed it's ending, I hardly believe FFVIII has a the best story, but it does have my favorite opening, and all the games have plot twists that change the cours of the game, so it's a valid. I just want more depth to the quiz, that's all. Besides, I was curious to know if anyone had a mixed look on the series or are they just bias fanboys.
