If God isn't real, how come every time I pull a Kleenex a new one comes up?

Do y'all have links to all the speeches? This thread is so big, I can't be checking every single page for just a couple.

Here's the condensed version

[Loony BoB]

Crossdressing heroes, the most annoying character actually dying, final boss that destroys the entire solar system multiple times, getting date-raped by a gay guy at an inn, summoning multiple versions of Bahamut, being the first 3D Final Fantasy and popularizing the series...

And yet VI and IX were still more fun and had more replay value. Hmm.

VI was not more fun for me and last I checked has no more replay value than VII does. Does VI have anything that you can't see in a single playthrough? VII does (Golden Saucer dates & Tifa/Cloud under Highwind are different depending on how you play the game). Not sure about VI, though. I think you can have see 100% of FFVI in one playthrough, though... so I'd say that's less replay value on those grounds. Not sure about IX, still playing it... although I haven't for ages, so I'd still say VII is more fun.

Am I a fanboy? Hell yes, because a good game will have fanboys.

When do we find out who won the game prizes?

Tomorrow! Only one prize, I'm afraid - this one is coming out of my wallet.

There are a bunch of scenes that vary pretty significantly depending on who you have in your party, and there is stuff that you can only see if (SPOILER)Shadow lives and other stuff you can only see if he dies. There's probably other stuff I'm forgetting too.

Plus you can try different strategies customising each character each time you play the game, which opens up a lot of possibilities for different approaches. Not as much as FFV but still.

Psychotic's argument is the only good argument for FFVII. And I'm tempted to agree. But then, like, dude Sabin suplexes a train, crane, brain, and all sorts of trout as the thread in the VI forum points out. Plus he has a move called Bum Rush. Sabin is pretty great and that's before you get to the rest of the cast. Smurfing Umaro man what is his deal.

The only way Sabin could get better is if he were instead a she, and she were a hot chick worthy of Sexiest Female in the 25th Anniversary FF Ci-- ohhhhh wait.

Oh no you didn't just do that oh dude you are so dead

Okay! well... thank you for doing all of this and putting up your own money for the community =)

You get to ruin a military parade!

In FF IV you can also use to the toilet as well and flush. You don't wash your hands though.

In FFVII there's an optional sidequest where Yuffie is a bitch and nicks your materia, rendering you only able to use items and attack. Your reward for finishing it? NOT smurfING MUCH.

In FFVI the limitation sidequest is the Fanatics Tower, where you are only able to use Magic. Your reward is actually worthwhile, it's a nice challenge - something that FFVII lacks entirely - and I'll be damned if there aren't ways around the stipulation if you make good use of the Relic system and character choices. Smurf right off with all of this, are we really going to descend into bickering about individual things like this? It's kind of pathetic but I will stoop this low if only to prove you wrong.

Any sidequest that features Reno, Rude, Don Corneo and the music associated with them is worth getting involved with. These characters, their music, it is reward in itself.
