C'mere ya damn newb!

What is your favourite version of the newbie hall? These places show up from time to time to help teach you about the game without relying on you using the menu or a tutorial mode or what have you. They serve as a pretty neat way to teach you tips and tricks without necessarily breaking the fourth wall too much. I mean when they start telling you to press the "x button" you might go "hang on wtf do you mean old man" but it makes sense to have knowledgeable people passing on this sort of information to your fledgling party.

Teach me Mogster in FFIX, as moogles make anything ten times better.

[Quindiana Jones]

I love that everyone is correct so far.

[Gamblet]

Mogster ftw.

While VII is my favourite so far (I can barely remember IX's, but then I don't think I've got far into the game anyway, so that could be why) because it's so memorable, I would say that I much prefer to have training as part of the main menu so that I can refresh whenever I want to rather than having to go to a specific location. But yeah, VII's training place in the slums wins for me if only because of how easily I remember it compared to training halls of other games.

As much as I love Moogles I think I'll have to go with FFVI if only because it was useful aside from training (which I usually skip over anyway). You could teach Mog a dance early if you left the monster in the treasure chest alone and waited until you had him in your party, and it had a bucket full of healing water that's always useful if you happen to be there and are low on health.

I liked FF7 because it had an original take on the idea.

The moogle point everyone's making. MOOGLES!

I voted Junon's Advanced Beginner's Hall because I seriously think the atmosphere in that room is very cool. The spirits of the Sector 7 people live on to, er, get more advice from Cloud!

I don't bother with most of the tutorials, I have to be honest. But my favourite tutorial setting would have to be Mogster's Marsh, kupo.

Because, as has already been stated, moogles automatically make everything awesome.

Kupo.

Man, FFVII's was so cool. It was charming and original at the same time, I also like how there was the Intermediate Hall in Junon where you could score another E. Skill materia.

FFVII's gave you All materia!!! I'd take that at the beginning of the game over an eventual dance for an optional character that is completely useless when you could just give it a Holy Lance. I mean, damn, FFVI had more exploits than FFII and FFVIII combined. Definitely the worst title in the series...

All Materia isn't that hard to come by, and I can break FFVIII completely in under 5 hours. I still say it's more broken than FFVI.

[VeloZer0]

Your first piece of all materia is. That would significantly increase the difficulty of the game (especially for new players) until you get access to the second in Shinra HQ.

I'm jokin man, I <3 FFVI. Although VII's definitely not as breakable, FFVI is handed to you broken as soon as you get Edgar.
