    That game is torturous. Even with a walkthrough, and even with save states on an emulator, that might be the hardest and least fun game I've ever played.

    Indeed. There is a whole dungeon where you can pretty much only use magic, and there is no enemies that drop ethers and no stores available at that point

    I can clearly see you guys have never played a MegaTen game... III is great, Nintendo hard, yes, but great nonetheless. You actually have to think about your every move and you will die if careless. But that's a good thing, considering every game nowadays basically points everything out to you.

    Here's an explanation and plenty of examples. I'm sorry, TVTropes just ruins people's vocabulary, you know?

    none of those games (that I have played) seemed all that hard to me. ff3 is the only game I never finished besides GTA (all of them). I suppose that I should have tried the dungeon more than once. But anyways, nowadays, nintendo hard IS a paradox. Mostly.

    I dunno. The Imprisoned in Skyward Sword was pretty damn punishing.

    I have yet to complete any NG FFs. PS+ no prob. (I also beat the GTAs, Hypo... hehehe)

    I also haven't beaten the first PE but just like the NG FFs it's for lack of effort. I just don't play them. Although there's something wrong with my PS version of FFI (or IV?). Last few times I played, I loaded my game and was somehow stuck in a cave. I mean the macro to transfer me from the "exit" to the next map was just gone. So I walk down and nothing happens. I'm stuck in this cave with nothing to communicate with. I would start over but I'm pretty sure I'd just get stuck here again.

    I also haven't beaten the Chrono games...
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    IV, VI, VII, IX and X would all be right at the top for me. If I reeeaaally had to pick just one... probably VI

    VII. I mean, I enjoy almost all the other games, but VII is still easily ahead of all of them for me. It's not even really a question in my head that I need to think about. Favourite? VII. Done. Second favourite? Now that is tricky. VIII? V? XII? XIII? Uaargh. Not to mention TA. Someday I'll play T and for some reason I'm certain it'll go high up my list, purely because it's like TA but supposedly better according to friends. Can't go wrong there!

    Hopefully someday XV will overtake VII as the best. Can't hurt to hope!
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    It is a very, very close call between FFVII, IX and X. For many reasons, the obvious choice would be FFVII.

    It's got to be the atmosphere. That plus the materia system. That plus the uber-lone-samurai-super-villain. Or...

    I used to have a hard time picking between VII-X, but after beating the series a few times I came to realize VII does well where each of those games have individual faults. When you take in the pacing of the game, the originality and variety of the environments, and the kick-ass soundtrack, it's a clear winner for me.

    I never have a hard time picking a favourite. I pick III because nobody else does. If they did, then it would be a tough choice between III, IV, V, IX or XII. But because III needs more love, I pick III in such polls. One of the best games of all time.
