Which game do you feel has the best message?
Each game tends to tackle a theme or at least tries to in some cases but obviously it is these messages that ultimately endear these titles onto the fans. So which game had the message that reached out to you the most?

True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
VII -
don't destroy the planet, it's beautiful
don't trust the government, ever
there is good and evil on both sides
people can be forgiven
you must deal with loss and go on
being who you really are is very important and better than trying to be something you're not
you can always start again
It has to be FF VIII.
Kids take their SeeD exams to get good grades and earn a good rank for good salary.
It's a message of hard work gives good returns and give a hint to the kid that this is the troutty life that the society has prepared for them when they grow up.
So work hard and do well for your exams kids, or else you'll get a low SeeD rank with low salary and you will starve and extinct.

Play the game, mostly it comes from struggling with who I am

X. Indoctrination will not make mankind progress. Hanging on to old traditions or corrupt institutions likewise. Racism is redundant. And think outside the box.
Racism is redundant? As in, there's already a system in place that marginalizes people of different races, so we don't have to hate them personally on top of that?Originally Posted by Pete for President
pretty much this.
Final Fantasy X-2. I sure showed that LeBlanc I have powerful hands to ease her aches.
Yeah, while it's not my favourite in the series, I've got to hand it to FFVII as having the best message in the series. (I'd throw in "don't trust evil corporations" ever as one of its messages too). Actually part of the reason the game proved slightly disappointing to me is that it kind of meandered from a lot of its central themes towards the end; I'd have preferred it a lot if it had maintained its focus. I'm still waiting for a video game that maintains the focus and thematic elements of the Midgar sequence of the game for its entire play through (although from what I hear, Deus Ex might be that game; I really do intend to play it one of these days).
Not exactly what I meant, but you'll have to excuse me as English isn't my first language.Racism is redundant? As in, there's already a system in place that marginalizes people of different races, so we don't have to hate them personally on top of that?
