My favorite Final Fantasy tradition is the ability to thoroughly roast anything that annoys, infuriates or disgusts me with nuclear blasts and/or giant fireballs until said anything is reduced to a pile of char.* This especially extends to mad scientists, because seriously those guys are freaking sickos. I also like riding Chocobos around.

(*If such firepower is unavailable to me eight well timed concurrent sword strikes to the face will also do the trick.)
