    What's not to like about FFI's love story?

    Since I can't say that, I'd either go with the Locke/Celes/Rachel love triangle from FFVI. The scenes with Rachel were really sad, whereas some of the scenes with Celes and Locke are really quite heart warming. Otherwise, I'd say FFIX had a pretty decent love story. It had a nice, drawn-out development which allowed you to witness key changes in the characters throughout the game. Zidane, for instance, focusses less on lust and more upon romance and Garnet becomes more trusting of ordinary people.

    Dude, I loved Zidane and Garnet, and I think it was because it had the nostalgia of Celes and Locke. Theif and Ex-Emperial and Theif and Runaway Princess are close to the same thing.

    I don't think I would like to know your romance between you and Quistis in the dark with the memory stick in...

    I like the subtler ones a bit more, the ones that make you think are they aren't they, got a bit of a soft spot for Stiener/Beatrix
    and Fran and Balthier have an interesting dynamic, tht bit in the pharos lighthouse is touching, cos they have such respect for each other, and it was a tender moment.

    I don't exactly know the Celes/locke but i can't wait to find it out, Celes is a very interesting character

    Raine and Laguna is adorable and also v.underated, its great.

    and ofcourse FFVIII's Biggs and wedge, ya know it was happening.

    Lulu and Wakka, it really was ( to me anyway) a nice suprise that they got together and had a baby,

    Eternity is just an empty illusion and is why feelings of being able to believe in one another are born...

    I hated the fact that Lulu and Wakka had a baby, I'm sure Chappu wouldn't of approved...

    For me, it was VIII's love story I guess. Would of picked X's but the TAY laughing scene made feel pretty sick, it was too false, but the Lake Malcania scene was so beautifully set out, it made cry quite a lot...
    EOFF needs a resurgence to it's former glory.

    FFIX's was very good.

    FFX's was alright.

    FFVIII's sucked.

    Welll I will start off by saying that unless the game is suppose to be about love then the lovestories should be told in the background and rarely take center stage. For that reason, IX and X are off my list cause they were cheesy, predictable, and had no right of stealing the spotlight from the more important (and interesting) things going on in the story.

    VIIIs could have been told better but I disagree that its as bad as the haters claim it to be and I know from real world experience that feelings can change that quickly...

    IVs was interesting and hopefully the DS remake will flesh it out. V doesn't really have one, VI was good, VII was pretty good just because nothing is ever really stated. Its an odd triangle. XII doesn't have a love story really though it alludes to so many damn pairings (I still think Ashe has a thing for a certain dashing sky pirate). I can't really say cause I never felt the FF series did love stories very well. I guess I'll say VI-VIII are the only decent ones.

    IV's was good if you like it to be a given that the girl goes for the Hero and becomes a damsel in distress, and you don't mind that it doesn't really develop, but was always there.

    VI's was good if you like the story never feeling resolved.

    VII's was good if you like the childhood friends type thing, with the added twist that the hero has the personality of a stump.

    VIII's was good if you're a 14 year old emo kid.

    IX's was good if you like that fairytale touch.

    I haven't played beyond IX. Suffice it to say the FF series in my experience doesn't seem to bring that Levin/Kitty or Dominique/Howard Roark engrossment. Not that I should expect that from a video game, but c'mon. Squall??? GTFO.
