Favorite Final Fantasy [Intellectual Version]

Which FF had your Favorite Music?

I would defnitely have to say FFVI. From the opera scene to the final battle, the music was not only of high quality, but also fit every situation perfectly.


Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?

Overall, my favourite cast was in FFX. I think that each character was not only well-developed, but also well-devloped over a good amount of time, rather than rushing in an entire bio in five minutes. It seems that in some games you know everything about a character within the first few minutes: their past, their motives, their inspiration. I believe that FFX is different because you don't discover these things until the characters become closer and begin to trsut each other a little more. It gives the whole thing a very [i]real[i] feel.


Which FF had your Favorite Character, and who is it?

My favourite character is Seifer, of Final Fantasy VIII. To be honest, I couldn't tell you why-I guess he's just really cool. ^_^


Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?

For battle systems I like FFIX's the best. Although most people I know are into the heavy customation of FF's like V, I believe when a character comes with set abilities it definitely helps to build a character just as much as any FMV. For instance, Zidane's "steal" ability cements him as good-spirited but at least somewhat misguided member of Tantlus that he is. It makes him come off almost as Robin Hood. This same idea also applies to FFVI, but I think FFIX is cooler.


Which FF had your Favorite Villain, and who is it?

My favourite main villain is probably Kuja. Although a little on the fruity side as far as choice of dress goes, I think his motives and actions are, although still sinister, make you unable to help feeling sorry for him. I also found that by the end of the game he was made out to be a hero more than a villain, with Zidane going as far as thanking him. His personality is defnitely a ten as well, combining a hint of Kefka's insanity with debonaire confidence of Sephiroth.


Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?

This one is a tie for me. FFVI, as the transition to an almost purely storyline-based generation of games, was fantastic for both it's originality and simply the way it was revealed, again, over time. As you can probably tell I don't like my games to feel "rushed". The other winner would be FFX. Again, although most of the FF storylines are awesome, FFX is put on another plain based on how well it plays out. I think that this can make or break a game. For instance, despite what others may think, while FFV's storyline was pretty bad, I honestly believed that if it played out a little differently (while keeping the same basic aspects) it could be just as good as any other.

Which FF had your Favorite Ending?

I really enjoyed FFVI's ending more for the way it was presented than the actual content. As far as the latter is concerned, however, my favourite ending was that of FFX. I think it was the perfect cap to what I feel to be the almost perfect game. Most was revealed, while still leaving a few things up to the imagination. This combination made for a great ending.

Which FF had your Favorite Music?

I would have to say that this criteria would be fulfilled by VIII, on the account of that it had real quality classical moving music, whereas VII's was a bit 'synthy' VIII sounded really quality. but i must make a special mention of the quality voice acting in FFX - i thought it would be dissappointing but it is superb.

Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?

eer, this one would have to be VII - you had cloud, who everyone could just relate to, and had awesome hair, barret who epitomised unremanding faith and loyalty, vincent who was surrounded by mystery and was intriguing, cid who was the bravado gung-ho type who just added fun to the game, aeris who was the quiet type who you felt a great love for, and tifa who had your sympathy and she would only ever be number 2 to cloud.

Which FF had your Favorite Character, and who is it?

my favourite character is cloud from VII, as he is someone you can really feel for and relate to, and when aeris dies, it sounds lame but you almost feel his upset, but that is testament to squares amazing scriptwriters who did a fantastic job on VII

Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?

i would actually say X - the Sphere grid is a very good idea, and allows greater charachter variation than ever before - however on the other hand if you have the time and the energy you can simply make every character have every ability - the collecting items to customise weapons is also superb, and adds depth to a great game

Which FF had your Favorite Villain, and who is it?

VII again - with sephiroth - he was surrounded by such mystery, and the character design was second to none, they certainly know how to make a really cool looking character at square, and sephiroth was really aided by the superb storyline, as you really wanted to defeat him at the end.

Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?

good lord it will have to be VII again - it had a very engaging storyline which you really got into, and you actually wanted to complete the game with a real desire because the storyline had sucked you in to such effect that you had to see how it ended - the storylines of all the FF's since really have paled in comparison

Which FF had your Favorite Ending?

VII YET AGAIN - the ending is phenominal - i mean hands up who was expecting an ending of that quality? and it was so unexpected, when aeris comes up with the life force just when you think that all is doomed - its was a worthy ending to the greatest game of all time

Favorite Music: Final Fantasy VII- The Music in final fantasy VII variated all throughout the game. The music of Sephiroth sent chills down my spine every time that bell rang, and Aeris' music when she dies is very deep and almost makes you sad. The music captivated each part in the game and fitted it very well.

Favorite Characters: Final Fantasy VII- The characters in final fantasy VII came from every corner of the world for one purpose and the variation in their personalities is what made the game great. The ill-tempered Barret, the foul-mouthed Cid, and the mysterious Vincent. And even though they came from all over each one had a connection with another character.

Favorite Character: Final Fantasy X: Tidus- Tidus was my favorite character of all the final fantasies so far becaus he was loving, and yet not too much to the extreme (Squall), and yet he was strong but not too much to the extremem (Cloud). Also the fact that he played blitzball and had very tyte hair gave him my vote for best final fantasy character ever.

Favorite Battle System: Final Fantasy X- This one has no competition in my opinion. The experience system was dropped, the level system was dropped, and the turn base system was dropped. The sphere grid gave you freedom and yet gave them a path to keep them on track. Also the ability to finally break 9,999 was a major plus for me, just the limitation on damage in the previous final fantasies made the boss' ten times harder no matter how strong you were. And the summon ability is using the basic idea from FF8 only they stay in the fight.

Favorite Villian: Final Fantasy VII: Sephiroth- This villian was a clouded mystery which is unveiled slowly throughout the game, yet they give you some background on him and where he fits in. He was always calm, intelligent, and chaotic which gave him the perfect combination for the villian.

Favorite Storyline: Final Fantasy X- This one was tough, I was deciding between FFX and FF7. FF7 has a good plot with all the pieces fitting together piece by piece and your understanding of the game grew as you progressed. Also it wasnt focused on love (FF8) or just plain destruction, but it had to much chaos in one world. There was no peace. Yet FFX mixed the storyline it placed the pieces, but you couldnt put them together until you got the whole story which made everything come together. Not to mention it mixed a love story with a world of chaos being rebuilt.

Favorite Ending: Final Fantasy VIII- The ending for FF8 first cleared a couple things visually and yet made you think squall was dead when he was out cold in the field. Yet at the VERY end it shows him appear and him and Rinoa kiss. And it shows some humor with zell eating and choking and then throwing the food at the camera and the mood was happy. Perfect

Which FF had your Favorite Music?
Final Fantasy X. Sure, FF8 had a great sound track, but I loved FFX's better. Suteki Da Ne had a great rhythm to it and singing. The world music was also great. When I was traveling to Djose, I was enjoying the music as I was running around like an idiot. There was also the short broken-record music of danger music, when its goes Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun when your in trouble. It made my heart race, unlike other FF music.

Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?
Final Fantasy VI's Character Cast. Without a doubt, FFVI had my favorite characters. They had a blended variety of characters. Celes a solder, Terra an Esper/Human, Sabin the muscle head, Edgar the pimp, Cyan the noble swordsmen, Gau the crazy as kid, Strago the old man , Relm the artist, Setzer the gambler, Gogo the mysterious mimic'er, and Shadow the silent Ninja. Look at this variety of characters. It went from Muscle to a paint brush! I loved the selection of characters in this Final Fantasy.

Which FF had your Favorite Character, and who is it?
Final Fantasy VI's Celes Chere. She had the heart, courage, and strength. Not to mention that she also looked great for a sprite . Even though people don't use her skill "Runic". I found it pretty useful fending against magical attacks, but it also took lucky and guess. Celes did pretty high damage for a Spell Caster. Especially when I equiped "Jewel Box", A magic power up, and that one sword that steals mana. She would heal, and cast Ultima like MAD. Courage? She was a double agent. Sneeking into the evil side and pretending to be one of them. But actually saved the party, and gave information. Her character developement was also kind of mysterious like Terra's.

Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?
Final Fantasy X. No competition really. The Sphere Grid was unique, you actually needed to find items to gain access to higher magic skills. Each character could gain specific spheres, or gain them all. You could customize your character totally. You chose wether they used an Agility Sphere or a Power Sphere, all depended on you. There is also the Gameplay, it was amazing. Switching in and out, so you never left a character out. When one is about to die, you just switched another in. Using Strategy against a monster or boss determined which characters you switched in and out.

Which FF had your Favorite Villain, and who is it?
Final Fantasy VI's Kefka! That mad man was just amazing. His laughter made you laugh, his Schemes were brilliant, his clothes were unique . All the madness of evil and comedy into one super villian!

Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?
Final Fantasy VII. FFVII contained the childhood story, then Cloud, the main character, telling he will be the best of the best. Looking up to Sephiroth as his role model. Also some moments between Tifa and Cloud. Sephiroth being confused about who he was, the Ancients, it was just a nice and complicated storyline with a nice twist. FFVII kept be occupied all the way. Went from Shinra trying to suck the planet to death, to a Big Meteor about to crash into the planet. The story just changed so smoothly.

Which FF had your Favorite Ending?
Final Fantasy VI. Well since I don't remember most of the endings of all the FFs. With FFVII and FFX's open ending, my choice would be FFVI. Why? Because depending on who you had in your party determined the end. Providing more choices and selections for the endings. The ending was also original in a way. Showing the characters trying to escape from the falling tower. You get to see several different moments of their escape depending on who was in your party. Just a classical ending for me.

Music

Final Fantasy VI. All of the tunes in this game were all wonderfully arranged in such a way that they formed a harmony. From the battle theme to the Opera House, all of these songs were awesome. In fact, some of these songs are so good that you can actually hear parts of them in other Final Fantasy games. And don't forget the the laugh of Kefka! Excellent. Runnerup: Final Fantasy VII.

Characters

Final Fantasy VI. Yet again, this game comes out on top. Not only did this game have wonderful characters with wonderful personalities, it had so MANY. This does not take away points from this game, oh no, not like Chrono Cross did. All characters have unique skills, including Sabin's Bum Rush (my favorite), which also add to the characters personallities. Two thumbs up. Runnerup: Final Fantasy X.

Character

Locke Cole. This character...wow. This sarcastic attitude, his dangerous occupation, everything about him is just so cool! And he's even got a sensitive side to boot (don't worry, no spoilers) and forms wonderful relationships with all the characters (well, most of them anyway). Amazing. Runnerup: Vincent Valentine.

Battle System

Final Fantasy VII. Sorry FFVI, FFVII beat ya here. And not to rub it in FFVI, but by far. The rotating camera, the materia, the limit breaks, the spells, the weapons, the arenas...what else is missing? Nothing! This game hosts my favorite battle system by far and probably will until FFC (FF100) comes out. Kudos. Runnerup: Final Fantasy VI/IX.

Villian

Sephiroth. This guy is just so...dang...evil! This arch rival is so evil that he isn't even human! One thing I really liked about this villian though is that he actually followed the storyline (lacking in many other FF games) so tightly. He's not just a guy thats all big and bad either, he has purpose. Shocking. Runnerup: Kefka.

Storyline

Tie: Final Fantasy VII and IX. Amazing, I know. I actually liked the storyline in IX. I could follow it with ease and it was a nice change of pace from the oh-so-serious FF games. Although FFVII had a somewhat dark storyline, it was enjoyable to see what happened next. It was so unpredictable. I loved both. Runnerup: None.

Ending

Final Fantasy IX. Classic. Simply classic! The rescue a princess thing was old to me, but this game delivered this idea so well that it wasn't at all repetitive. This is probably the most touched I've ever been in playing a videogame, and I'm usually not an emotional person that way. Congrats! Runnerup: Final Fantasy VI.

Hopefully I will be able to make this look like I'm a genius.... lol.Well, here goes.

Favorite Music - FF7 - I believe that FF7 had my favourite music. I think that Aeris's Theme and the Final Sephiroth Battle theme were well done and that these masterpieces helped to project the emotions and feelings from the game. Also, all the music from FF7 stuck in my mind, and I find myself humming the tunes throughout my day

Favorite Characters - FFX - Though my preference would be FF7, I think FFX had the best cast of characters. Tidus was complex and had much to him, acting heroic one minute, and breaking down & crying the next. He had depth which was revealed throughout the game. Auron was also a miraculous character, whose ominous decorum always had countenance.....this is getting to be too lengthy so I will not further pursue explaining each character.....

Favorite Character - My favorite character would have to be Cloud. His past is shrouded in mystery for most of the game, and is revealed as the game progresses. I especially like !Possible Spoilers!........




the flashback scene with Tifa. It was as if he was finding himself, and Tifa was there as a nepenthe for Cloud to quaff to relieve him of his sorrow, a...... sorry, I trailed off. Whatever. Cloud is a well-developed character.

Favorite Battle System - FF7 - The FF7 Battle System was well thought out and did not present many problems. Though MP may be annoying, drawing spells from enemies is definetly the greater of the two evils. All in all, I think the materia system has some ingenius qualities, like the linked slots, and the leveling of the materia. That is why its my #1 choice.

Favorite Villian - FF7 - SEPHIROTH - Sephiroth is a good example of the phrase, "Those that are evil used to be good". AS a young man Sephy was a trustworthy Soldierand a courageous powerful man. However, Sephiroth lost his virtue and performed many inexplicable deeds, out of anger and bloodlust. The impending shadow that hung over his soul had soon engulfed him, turning him into an instrument of evil. He is truly the definition of a villian.

Favorite Storyline - FF7 - Suspenseful. Twists. Devious. Creative. These are some of the reasons that I chose FF7's storyline. Not only does it have a devious villian who devises a plan so evil and vile, it has friendship, trust, and well, sacrifice. FF7 is what introduced me to this series, and perhaps that is why I chose it.

Favorite Ending - FF IX - I will simply tell you why I didn't chose the other FF games that I played.

FF VII- Though I love this game, the ending didn't exaclty explain much. I guess thats what you get when Square rushes it into production.

FF VII - The moment when Squall can't seem to remeber Rinoa's face. It just.... I don't know.... "turned me off" so to say.

FF X - Simply because I have not the slightest idea of what happened. It just sort of........ ended.

Well there you have it. I guess this is what you get when you try to get an intelligent response from a 13 year old. (Yes, I'm 13). Anyway, overall, my favorite game was FF VII.

as u can tell from here, these are my 2 fav games lol...

Favorite music.ack! ummmm cant really say the midi sounds of the past games lol though i do liek a few of them but id have to say it's really close with FFVII and FFX! i heard the 'To Zanarkand' song in the trailer on tv and fell in love! all 4 disks were awesome for FFX and FFVII's...wow! The music from FFVII NEVER got repetitive (with the exception of Gold Saucer lol) which is what i love. but i liked FFVII's music alot better cause alot of the music coincidedwith the plot...liek aeris' death...the music they played..perfect. sorta a tear jerking song with the others though it's jsut sorta there..the music in FFVII really represents a part of the story, not just music itself.

Hmm I loved the FFX chracters cause they were so lifelike. They really showed more than just the outer appearance..sorta like you had that attachment with them emotionally. anything that can get you tied emotionally to it would make it seem more real

All time fav evil character...even though he was so evil, you HAD to love him for it. that's right..Sephiroth. Dude...the shady figure..the black cape..dang, that sword! well when a shady guy that kicks major arse and u have no idea anything about him comes on the scene it jsut adds a lil mystery adn spice to the whole story..you dont know how they are. so when they do something, u could never have predicted it. now for those of you that played FFVII and never heard a thing about it from your friends or from anything else..who here can honestly say that you expected Sephiroth to jump down outta nowhere and do that??? EXACTALLY and what happened is that it made you so confused as to why he would do it and it made u angry cause aeris didnt deserve it and she was a great girl. whereas if u knew the guy, then u might sorta say 'well yeah i knew that was gonna happen sooner or later'

Fav. FF battle system..FFVII definitely. Materia! haha i loved it..always exciting to find new ones. plus, the combined materia effect along with the mime thing and double slash..i love variables!!! they keep your interest!

my fav FF guy would have to be tidus. i loved his character..he was a great, fun loving kind of guy that had a passion for a sport and strived to be the best. and he wasnt haughty about it. he jsut played the game..it was his hobby. i think that it's cool. haha especially seeing how his personality and yuna's got along so well. he can relate to other people in the game, and i tihnk that he showed more character in any of the FF's i've played


Fav storyline would HAVE to be FFVII. no way around it. i mean an evil guy bent on talking over the earth. a (major) suprise twist at the end and it's sorta like Fight Club cause u remember everything that happened before in the game..the things u didnt really think about but then u say to urself omg att the stuff in the storyline build up to this one thing and i never noticed it. i thought that was awesome

Fav ending would probally have to be FFX's. I never thought the main character wouldn't last the whole story! it suprised me with the whole thing..and when tidus jumped off the airship and went down and saw all of them..it was cool..i like suprise stuff..

The Final Fantasy which had my favorite music would have to be Final Fantasy 9 because the music was so soothing and it went along with gameplay and the key songs like "Melodies Of Life" played out at the best parts of the game.

As for my favorite Final Fantasy that had my favorite characters, my opnion scatters throughtout because my favorite characters were Sephiroth, Cloud, and Squall. I liked those three because they were always serious abot getting a job done and they dont let their feelings get in their way.

Final Fantasy X had the best battle system because it is most modern and its easy to understand.

My favorite villain would have to be Sephiroth because he is ruthless and his style is great. i like the all black, long hair, Long Sword style.

Final Fantasy 7 had my favorite storyline because it was so complex. The storyline was excellent and the storyline of FFIX was great too because of the adventurous cliffhangers but FF7 would win overall in storyline.

Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy IX had my favorite endings. The musical store added in and mixed into the full motion videos made for an excellent ending.

....Lets just say.....The right music was played at the right time.

I've never played any of the older Final Fantasy games, because they are not as widely avalible so my view is restriced to VII-X and a few hours of VI.

Music - I liked the music to FFX much better than the pervious games. The quality was better, but that was only a small fraction of it. They seem to have widened the 'music spectrum' a bit in this game. There are a few heavy songs, and many light and symphonic ones. I just loved the mix, the different styles reflected the different moods of the game much better than I saw in past ones.

Overall Characters - Overall I liked the characters in FFVII the most. I felt they were very well developed and easy to relate too. Their diverse personalities caused extra friction that added to their realism.

Single Character (FFVII Soilers) - Aeris wins a hard fought battle here. I felt she was one of the most 'realist' characters of the series. Her death cut her role short but she continued to develop all through the game.

Battle System - One of the only things I liked about FFIX was the battle system. There was not much room for customization, but I liked that part. Every character had a 'class' and a set list of moves they would learn. I knew what to expect of the characters and that let me organize the team better and with less hassle.

Favorite Villian - I only played a little bit of FFVI (There is so much confusion about the numbers here for me... I hope I got it right) but I though Kefka was a great villian. The thing about him that made him better than Sephiroth was the sense of humor that surrounded him. His comical frustration made his character.

These SQL errors are drving me nutz.

Which FF had your Favorite Music?
-Final Fantasy 4 - Nobuo's best was FF4-6, and 4 just beats ot FF5 with the nostalgic factor. In FF4 there wasn't a song I hated...in FF5 and FF6 there was one song in both that I hated. FF5=Harvest(that annoying town music), FF6=Relm's theme.

Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?
-Final Fantasy 4 - Cain, Cecil, Rydia, Rosa, and Tella's stories were just very good. I guess I'm just old school. FF5 only had 5 characters so you can't really use it for comparison to FF4 or FF6.

Which FF had your Favorite Character, and who is it?
-Final Fantasy 4 - Cain, he just says "f*ck you" and kicks ppl'z asses.

Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?
-Final Fantasy 4 - I'm including my opinion on the natual magic, item, and stat systems in my choice here. FF1-3 & FF5-FF6 are just too linear. FF6's characters are so linear in those catagories it's sickening. The only thing that shows that thier not all the same is the 1 battle command and the sprite...otherwise they're all the damn same.

Which FF had your Favorite Villain, and who is it?
-Final Fantasy 5 - ExDeath (NeoExDeath's battle form is just godly), ExDeath just owns over Cefca anyday. ExDeath just looks cool being an "evil person" where as Cefca is just goofy.

Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?
-Final Fantasy 4 - I just prefer the story over any other FF. Although FF8's story was fantastic, as well as FF5 and FF6.

Which FF had your Favorite Ending?
-Final Fantasy 5 - Great ending, great music in the ending, and great story telling at the end.

Catagory I'm adding: Favorite dungeon/cave/area and why?
-Final Fantasy 1 - Temple of Fiends Past, it just has the nostalgic factor over all other. MagiTek Factory, and Lunar Subterrane comes in a VERY close second.

Which FF had your favorite music?
Final Fantasy 3E/6J has the best all around music in my opinion. The themes are used just right to create the mode for each game setting. Locke's theme being one of the major pieces.

Which FF had your favorite characters overall?
Final Fantasy 3E/6J. For a game on the SNES the characterization was far superior to all other games available at the time.

Which FF had your favorite character?
Final Fantasy 3E/6J for the reason that Setzer Gambani is a character that I can really identify with. His zeal for life and living it to the fullest and persuing what makes him happy. Although his life started and ended every time you pushed the power switch on your SNES.

Which FF had your favorite battle system?
Final Fantasy 8 had the best overall battle system. The only thing that really took forever was leveling GFs.

Which FF had your favorite villian?
Final Fantasy 9 would have to be my choice here. Although I feel all of the FF series villians need some more work in terms of characterization. Kujo in this case has to win though due to his coolness of riding a dragon and being intelligent.

Which FF had your favorite ending?
Final Fantasy 7 had my favorite ending. It sort of wrapped up the entire world in the ending. That and it was really the only ending that didn't leave me feeling that there was still more to accomplish before the world was saved.

Which FF had your favorite storyline?
Final Fantasy 3E/6J has my favorite storyline. I mean what can be better than being in the original FF resistance movement theme and stopping an evil empire. FF7 had a good plot as well however it was too similar to 3E/6J for me.

Which FF had your favorite cave/area/dungeon/castle?
Final Fantasy 3E/6J wins here for me too. The Phantom Forest.

Favourite Music FFVII

Even though I love the Melodies of Life tune from FFIX, I’d have to say FFVII had the best music. The boss battle theme really pumped me up for the crucial encounters, Aries’ theme was incredibly sad, and tunes such as Wall Market and Cosmo Canyon were equally pleasant. Apart from Eyes on Me, the soundtracks from VIII and also X were pretty uninspiring.

Favourite Character Aries, FFVII

I loved this character. She was a shining hope to all, who gave her life to save the planet. A superb ally, she was charming to have around, and her death brought tears to my eyes.

Favourite Characters Overall FFIX

Simply for diversity, I’d have to choose FFIX. The cute mage, Vivi, was complimented by the hulking Amarant, whereas characters such as Quina and Steiner provided some much needed comic relief, and Zidane’s attitude was exemplary. The quotes for the characters gave you an insight into them; these approaches to life were reflected throughout the game.
As for the other games, I did like Cloud, Aries and Red XIII, but not Tifa (because I wanted Cloud and Aries to be together). Squall was rather strange and too much of a loner (and I don’t like his name), however, Rinoa was nice, and Selphie and Zell were funny.

Favourite Battle System FFIX

I’d definitely have to go for IX here. The different abilities of the characters complimented their different attitudes (as I mentioned above). The method of assigning abilities was pretty well executed too, and having four party members was a nice chance. In VII, it didn’t matter who you chose in your party; they could all cast the same spells – if you equipped the right material – and summon the same creatures. I found the approach of every character being different a lot better. FFVIII had a very poor system. It was annoying having to junction magic, especially if you wanted to use it later; for example, if you used Curaga when it was junctioned to your HP, your HP’s total would decrease. The GF system (countdowns, remember) didn’t fare well with me either.
Don’t even get me started about FFX. It took me around 10 hours just to get used to the sphere grid! And then I couldn’t find any ability sources!! Arrggh! On a serious note, I find it much more effective if the game regulates the growth of your characters, but, having said that, I can see that some die-hard fanatics would like the flexibility the sphere grid offers. In addition, the ability to swap in and out characters from a battle was highly useful.

Favourite Villain Sephiroth, FFVII

Sephiroth succeeded in being both cool and bad; indeed, in many ways, he was a lot like Kuja from FFIX. He destroyed Cloud’s hometown, killed Aries, and tried to destroy the planet. How many more reasons do you need to hate a guy?

Favourite Storyline FFVII

Of course, it would have to be FFVII. Cloud’s struggle with the oppressive Shinra corporation and his own mysterious past – not to mention his personality disorder – was an epic creation. FFVII sucks you into its magical world and you just don’t want to leave. From the original, cold hearted missions, to the tragic death of Aries, along with Tifa’s quest to build a new Cloud, to the final, satisfying Omnislash on Sephiroth, FFVII rules! Aries’ selflessness in praying for Holy, Red XIII meeting his heroic father and Barrett’s confrontation with Dyne can pay no homage to this massive game.
Credit is due to FFVIII, which offered a much brighter theme – this was most welcome – and to FFIX, which sort of crossed the two.

Favourite Ending FFVII

In FFVII, everyone realised what was most important to them. Cloud realised he should be himself, and that he could meet Aries in the Promised Land. Vincent realised that he could not have saved Luciel; Cid realised that he should have been nicer to his wife. The very end, when Aries lifts her head from the lifestream (as she does in the opening sequence) touched me more than any other game, and is the reason why I chose FFVII’s ending sequence as the best.
