Romantic stories

[rubicante]

Which Final Fantasy so far had the best love story? And please don't answer FF1

[Goldenboko]

FFI

(Haha I got there first now back off losers!)

Seriousness: FFIX, loved that love storyline.

[Kanshisha]

The best? i don't know about the best.. but the one i have in mind is FFVIII. the quotes just keep coming in.

[Raebus]

FF1

Somebody already said it, damn.

The best? i don't know about the best.. but the one i have in mind is FFVIII. the quotes just keep coming in.

Don't get me in to how much I despised that story. The entire thing felt awful, and forced. In real life circumstances I can't see them getting together, and even in game circumstances I often felt myself saying, "How is she liking him?" or "God dammit, your blowing it Squall."

The storyline was littered, with abrupt changes in Character attitude, particularly with Squall. When Rinoa was taken over by Ulti, he suddenly cared, I mean suddenly. Before that he was all "Buzz off windbag." Then he goes all, "AGH! MY BABY :cry2:". I didn't buy it. Then when he rescues her he's back to long tall and gloomy, with the "Buzz off windbag." Attitude. Maybe Rinoa is just attracted to guys that want nothing to do with her but, her beginning attraction to Seifer would hint otherwise, he definitely was described as interested.

And seeing as the just totally dropped the everyone else's story and threw the other characters along for the ride, the attention was SO focused, on SAR that these glaring mistakes are magnified. Seriously, what happened to Quistsis's ambition in the beginning of the story? It died because of an awful orphanage scene? (And don't get me started on that scene). No of course not, but by then the writers where done giving her story.
Or what about Zell's library hunny we only here about once?
And what about the hinted attraction between Selphie and Irvine? Why didn't we hear more about that?

FFVIII's love storyline was focused on 1 forced couple, who didn't really belong together which just sucked.

I admit the VIII story was abit annoying but that part where he catches her in space is just too good.

However i would have to go with VI as my answer because it had alot of little love stories and you have locke and celes.

[Kanshisha]

Ok.. so FFVIII had some forced relationships, but as blackmage_nuke mentioned the space moment. at least that was a memorable moment.

FFIV. Rydia + Edge forever!

FFIX was good because it had a strong build up throughout the whole game

If I may, I don't think the changes were abrupt if you pay attention to the story. From the very beginning, Squall is determined to keep his emotions hidden from those around him. At many times throughout the story, he thinks one thing and says another. He obviously cares for Rinoa, and hides it by saying "I'm just doing my job."

Also, in life you're going to see plenty examples of girls/guys who give their affection to someone who treats them like . SAR isn't that extreme of an example.

I would say it's a toss-up between FFVIII and FFX. the space scene in VIII, as blackmagenuke said, is just too damn good. The ending with Tidus and Yuna is mad emotional. Very few movies hit me like that, but that's just my opinion. Locke and Rachel was pretty sad, especially when the Phoenix shows up and the music plays.

Locke and Rachel was pretty sad, especially when the Phoenix shows up and the music plays.

Ya when I was young I had tears at that scene, which is amazing considering that for the most part you really dont know much about Rachel, other than the fact that she and locke loved each other.

Despite not knowing much about her, the scene was still pretty emotional, especially involving the phoenix

For me I think it was FF IX, the romance between Zidane and the garnet is cute so cute. I love the ending it's all.. *sigh*. For FFVII Cloud was really messed up, he loved Aeris but she goes and get sephirothed. Tifa is in love with him but he still feel for Aeris so it's all complicated. FFVIII was a good romance story, I think Quistis had a wee thing for Squall but she went off him, probably Irvine's good looks and gentlemanly manner. So Rinoa was in love with Seifer but he went all bad ass and so she fell in love with Squall instead. *cough* slut *cough* I think Squall was a bit wierded out at first but he fell in love and they got married had 100 goomba kids. I think i got that all right.

[Marshall Banana]

Laguna and Raine's story is my favorite. Squall and Rinoa aren't the only lovers in FFVIII, you know. =O

that exactly what i wouldve said.

so i can just quote and say i agree ..

FFVI's Locke/Rachel/Celes love triangle makes me happy.
