Favorite Final Fantasy [Intellectual Version]

[Alizée Jacotey]

Which FF had your Favorite Music?
My pick would be X..it had some nice music for all parts of the game. The songs didnt get annoying even after a few hours of leveling up.

Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?
Overall, I would say IV had the best characters. Many times FF characters seem like they have no drive for their cause, but each character in IV had a cause. Also, each character was strictly individual, and none seemed alike.

Which FF had your Favorite Character, and who is it?
My favorite character would probably be Auron from FFX. In my opinion, he had the best character development of all. As Braskas guardian, he was arrogant and proud, which got him killed. As an unsent he slowly turns more toward thinking before acting, and forming strong opinions.

Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?
This is, by far, my easiest choice. FFIV had my personal favorite system. All you had to do was level up and the character would learn spells, abilities, etc. No AP, no complicated systems. Also, the weapons were fairly easy. No customizations or Materia slots for me to worry about.

Which FF had your Favorite Villain, and who is it?
Seifer and Kefka were my two favorite villians. If I had to pick one, it would be Seifer by a hair. He is not an invincible demon, or something like that. He is just another student, who happens to like to kill other students.

Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?
VII had the most amazing storyline of any game I have ever played. It throws you right into the action of the game, and then your hooked. Sephiroth, Shinra, Ancients, all truly amazing story pieces.

Which FF had your Favorite Music?

Final Fantasy VI and IX is my favourite soundtracks. many good songs that you'll nevet get tired of listening to. My favourite songs from those soundtracks are, VI: Edgar and Aria Di Mezzo. IX: Immortal Song and Kujas Theme.

Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?

Fianl Fantasy IX. The character design is very good, and each and every character has a good story. Take Vivi as an exampel, he could easily made a whole game only about him. It's almoust like two storylines in one.

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

My favourite character is Squall. I really dont know why, but i'll guess i like his style. And the gunblade is the coolest sword in Final Fantasy history (acording to me).

Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?

Final Fantasy VIII. There's just so much to do.

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

Final Fantasy VII. Sepiroth, never have i seen such evil in a Final Fantasy game. Brilliant character

Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?

Final Fantasy VI. When Final Fantasy VI came out, the graphics didn't mean as much as it does now. So everything (almost everything) was depending on the storyline, and thats why it's has the best storyline of all Final Fantasy games.

Which FF had your Favorite Ending?

Final Fantasy VIII. What can i say? It's my favourite game, and the ending is really great. That's just the way it is.

[Hiroshino]

Which FF had your Favorite Music?
Final Fantasy 7 and Final Fantasy 8 both had my favorite music in them. In Final Fantasy 7 Vincent's theme song is cool because of the ecuestic guitar that plays it and the mellow sound of it. Cait Sith's theme song was also cool because it had that unique sound to it. I also liked the Coral Desert Prison theme song too, I don't know why but it catches my interest in it.

Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?
In Final Fantasy 1, I like all the characters because each time you start a new game you can try new combos. In Final Fantasy 7 my favorite characters are Sephiroth, Vincent, Tifa, and Cait Sith. I like Sephiroth because he's a bad a$$ villian with a tight blade. Cait Sith has the cool attitude. Vincent's life was hard and he has a somewhat cruel attitude but that was because of his life, I like hime the most. Tifa is one good looking ba/be with a great body, no doubt about it. In Final Fantasy 8 I liked Seifer, Squall, Zell, Irvine, and Laguna. I like Seifer and Squall because of their attitudes, Seifer was a tough guy and Squall was against life. Zell was cool because it was as if he could take on the world. Irvine was a ladies man and Laguna was in my opinion was cool.

Which FF had your Favorite Character, and who is it?
FF1, FF7, FF8, FF9, and FFT. In Final Fantasy 1 I liked the Red Mage because he could use both white and black magic and was also good in strength at the same time. In FF7 I like Vincent because of his theme song, life, and attitude. In FF8 I liked Squall for the same reason I like Vincent in FF7. In Final Fantasy 9 I like Kuja, he's one badass boss and both Kuja and Zidane look similar to each other. In FFT I like Cloud because he's fimiliar to us.

Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?
Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 8, and Final Fantasy 1. Final Fantasy 1 is a classic, you buy magic for a mage and use it in battle and you buy equipment to battle with. Final Fantasy 7 is the same except the magic is in the materia and there are different and unique ways in using the materia with your armor and weapon. In Final Fantasy 8, you draw magic or should I say para-magic, from the enemies to later use on them. All of this is less confusing unlike Final Fantasy 10 with the whole grid thing.

Which FF had your Favorite Villain, and who is it?
Final Fantasy 7. Sephiroth was the villion of all villions in any way. Cool sword, cool story line, bad attitude, and almost invincible.

Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?
I liked Final Fantasy 8's storyline. One reason is FF8 is my favorite FF but the history with the wars and going through the game. Its all cool. And when people say there is only one objective, they're all wrong.

Which FF had your Favorite Ending?
I only beat Final Fantasy 7 out of all the FF's so I would have to say that Final Fantasy 7's ending was my favorite ending even though it was my only ending. Cloud's omnislash was tight.

[Sykes]

Which FF had your Favorite Music? Easily FF7. It's music was catchy, nice and despite songs being repeated, you never tired! Although FF9 had some pretty great tunes as did 6.

Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall? FF9. Zidane was a great cool character, as was Vivi and Steiner. I think anyone could connect with one of the characters from FF9.

Which FF had your Favorite Character, and who is it? Zack from FF7. The original Cloud. He was actually stronger than Cloud if you think about it...

Which FF had your Favorite Battle System? 7. The materia was simple and effective. A perfect mix of magic, summons and attacks. 6 had a pretty great system too.

Which FF had your Favorite Villain, and who is it?6. Kefka. Conniving, cunning, clever and most of all damn scary! Possibly the most evil man EVER. Kefka was godlike when it came to intelligence.

Which FF had your Favorite Storyline? 7. The plot was perfect, confusing and was well-explained. The plot points were also well placed. The opposite of 10. 9 and 6 had really great plots as well, but 7 just clinched it.

Which FF had your Favorite Ending? Well 9! 9 was like FF mxed with Sonic and had the coolest scene I've seen in a game!

[Sierra]

Which FF had your Favorite Music?
Final Fantasy VII had my favorite music.All the songs brought out the scenes they were in so well,like Aeris' Theme when she...you know.It didn't have a big vocal theme like all the FF's after it,but for some reason that seemed sort of better.I loved all the great instrumental pieces.All the songs when you're inside the villages is great,because they give it such a peaceful,calm mood.

Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?
Final Fantasy VI.I loved how they all had this really unique rolls and mysteries about them.The more recent Final Fantasies,I find a lot of the characters are just annoying.But FFVI's characters never were annoying to me,not even Gau.Plus I loved how in the beginning they all had unique abilities.Like,Terra was the only one with magic,Edgar had his tools,etc.

Which FF had your Favorite Character, and who is it?
Final Fantasy VI,Setzer Gabbiani(or however it's spelt)I admired his strength and his opinions about life and living it to the fullest."My Life is a chip in your pile;ante up",I thought that was so clever.And his thing with Darryl was so sad.I almost cried when he was talking about that part.

Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?
Final Fantasy VII.I thought the materia was effective and a great idea.And combining it made everything so much cooler,and there were so many differant kinds there were no ends to the combos you could make.I mean,with the all stuff and the steal and everything else they had going on.

Which FF had your Favorite Villain, and who is it?
Final Fantasy VII,Sephiroth.Classic,crazy,sexy villian.He was so cool too,running around with that masamune.But I think he was really a little misunderstood,with the whole Jenova thing and all that.You kinda feel sorry for him.But he was a great villain.I loved his style too

Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?
This is a tough one...but I'd have to say Final Fantasy VII again.Everything about Sephiroth and the meteor and the planet and the lifestream and all that was just so good.And the role all the characters had to play,and Cloud's choice between Aeris and Tifa and everything was just soooooo brilliant.It kept me hooked until the very end.

Which FF had your Favorite Ending?
Final Fantasy VIII.It was just so touching,and I loved when they were all running around with the video camera.That was so cool and funny.And Rinoa and Squall...it was so...awwwwww....I never get tired of that ending.It's just so perfect.And the part where Squall's kind of freaking out and the images of Rinoa and everyone are flashing everywhere and they're all blurry and distorted.I thought that was amazing.

Favorite Music:

Without a doubt, Final Fantasy VI. This was Nobuo Uematsu's ultimate tribute to the classic good vs. evil stories that characterize the series.

Favorite Characters:

Though Final Fantasy Tactics is extremely close, I would have to say FFIV. There is Cecil, Kain, the original FF-mystery-badass, Edge, Edward, Rydia and, most of all, Golbez.

Favorite Character:

Shadow from Final Fantasy VI. When I first played FFVI many, many years ago, when most people in America called in Final Fantasy III, I instantly thought Shadow was the coolest looking, most badass character ever. My favorite part in the entire game was when Kekfa was rearranging the earth's surface with the three statues or whatever, and suddenly Shadow jumps out from the hills and crushes Kekfa with the statues. It was all so sudden, so.... badass. Then, of course, there was the part when Shadow jumped through the burning roof to save Relm or when Shadow gave Terra advice on love, or trying to figure out his dark history by sleeping in the inns and then there is Interceptor.

Favorite Battle System:

Tough choice, but I will have to choose Final Fantasy Tactics over FFIV, FFVI and FFVIII. Though FFV is also a great game, I've always thought that the job system in Tactics was just better.

Favorite Villain:

Before I played Final Fantasy VI, I thought that Golbez from Final Fantasy IV was the coolest looking, most badass character ever. I love the part where you see him for the first time: Kain had just beat the crap out of Cecil and Golbez majestically walks into the room and devastates Yang and Edward with a simple energy blast, than bitch slaps Rosa and carries her out of the room while Kain grabs the Crystal and quickly follows. Ah, very, very cool. Plus, what is a video game villain without his cool subordinates? There is Kain, Rubicant, Kainazzo....

Favorite Story:

Final Fantasy VI. I love the whole thing, from the start where you have the two Magitek riders and the mysterious girl tearing through some poor mining town searching for a lost Esper to the end when you confront the angelic Kekfa after beating his horde of Bosses and his tower of bones and flesh.

Favorite Ending:

Final Fantasy VI again. Where you see everybody using their individual abilities to escape the tower and how espers and magic no longer exist and then you get the little scenes with the character's special items or whatever, like for Gogo you see his/her hood taken off and for Shadow you see an apple that is suddenly covered with ninja stars.

Which FF had your Favorite Music?
Got to be final fantasy 7. Its just the fact that the different songs all provoke individual or a blend of emotions inside you, the fact that one person could compose and achieve such a magnificent blend of musics which provoke anger, sadness, thoughtfullness, hope and mainy others in this game makes it just amazing

Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?
Its a really close decision between 7 and 9, but even thought theres such and interesting mix of characters in 9 im gonna go for 7: You had a bunch of (mostly) strangers, all brought together to save the planet from meteor. Cloud, who by chance accepted a job for a small payment from avalanche, ends up saving the world, with his mix of confusion to wether or not he is a clone, and his braveness throughout the game. Aeris is magnificent, a person with so much braveness she was willing to lay down her life at the hands of Sephiroth to save others. And on top of that i like spellcasters . Red XIII (nanaki) is just the coolest character, wether it be the fact he has a flaming tail or the fact hes a talking, intelligent lion type thing with so much love for his grandfather. I wont bother going on about the others, cause we'd be here all day..

Which FF had your Favorite Character, and who is it?
9, Vivi!! Definitely the best character, shy yet powerful, curious yet wise. He puts aside of him the fact he will not get too live a normal life, to help other's lives. Just seeing this little mage with a pointed hat and his peculiar staves, casting magnificent spells (Osmose i think looks particularly good) just leaves you in an unrivaled awe. He's philosophical (Vivi: How do you know we exist? Maybe we don't exist), a black mage (always the coolest) and one of the youngest of the group, yet the strongest emotionally and physically(or magically i guess). That, in short, is why he's my favourite.

Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?
6. It was simple, effective, and not overly annoying *cough*8*cough*. I didn't mind the one on 8, but its was, i dunno, annoying, some people with draw, others with item, others with magic etc. Just changing it around was a hastle. But 6 on the other hand: You had everyone with attack and item, and 1 or 2 skills that are individual to that person, and maybe another skill you can gain through the use of a relic. Simple and easy. 9 was also a great one.

Which FF had your Favorite Villain, and who is it?
Seifer. He's cruel, powerful, intimidating and well, would whoop Squalls ass anyday (or should). From the start, seeing him battle with Squall, the unleashing the fire spell, truly magical.
He wasnt the ff worlds most powerful enemy, but the most enjoyable, the one i love to hate

Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?
final fantasy 9. All the way through, the countless people you meet, the diversity of each character and the magnitude of it. All from the beginning where you have to get into the arena with Vivi and watch the swordfight with Zidane, Watching the play as Zidane, Blank and his team battle, with the funny addition of the special affects like pyre, then the whole kidnapping of Garnet. All the way through, different parts at black mage village, looking out for the two annoying jesters, Sorn and Zorn, who are just idiotic, but funny. The storyline, the magic of every single character, shy vivi, thoughtful freya, madly wierd Quina, Little Eiko, last of the summoners, just keeps you hooked till the very last battle with Necron, who controlled Kuja with his evil for his own purposes, and then all over again. 24050663 times (now theres an idea......).

Which FF had your Favorite Ending?
Final fantasy 9, with 8 coming a close second. The music, with the fmv playing, makes you sad in a happy, fullfilled way. Sad its over, Happy the world is free. And the part where The child says "I am Vivi, son of Vivi!", well that was enough to send me on an emotional roundabout. Absolutely amazing

Overall: final fantasy 9, for all the reasons ive mentioned. And more

Which FF had your Favorite Music?
I don't have an exact favorite for this question cause all of the games had their good musics, and had their bad musics. But if I had to go with a game, I'd go with FFIX. The music always fit in with that part of the story.

Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?
I'd go with FFVI, the characters were unique, and their personality unfolded as the game went on. They all had that mysterious touch to them that made things even more exciting.

Which FF had your Favorite Character, and who is it?
FFIV. Kain was the greatest character ever. He was a Dragoon, and I love that class, along with being very wise and smart. Although, throught the game, get's mind controlled...

Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?
I liked what they did with the Materia system in FFVII. I hated the drawing system in FFVIII, it was really annoying. FFVII makes you date back to FFI, II, II, and V...when you had to buy the magic.

Which FF had your Favorite Villain, and who is it?
Kefka by far...He just...suited the part of, 'bad guy'...he had that really annoying evil laugh, that always got me to laugh...and He was just considered a pawn for the real bad guy (emperor Ghestal), until he gets dispatched.

Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?
I loved the story in FFVI. The characters come together to protect the world from somebody who became a god...It's really neat. They avoid any differences, and go and do their task of saving the world.

Which FF had your Favorite Ending?
I adored FFVIII's ending...I loved Eyes on Me. That movie really touched me at the end though...almost was crying...very rare for me.

I want you to tell your Favorite FF on several levels, and why.

Which FF had your Favorite Music?
Well, I think that if I REALLY had to choose, my favorite FF in soundtrack wise would be FFVII. One Winged Angel was absolutely brilliant. It makes me feel how terrifying Sephiroth was/is. Vincent’s theme gave me a sense of frighten that still gives me chills up my spin and the Ancient City songs made me feel… I don’t know how to describe it. Hahah… I’m such a sap. Overall, I would say that the FFVII soundtrack, you can just feel the sorrow, the excitement, the panic, the joy and mellowness of the game.

Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?
I would say, FFVII also had all my favorite overall characters. There was not one person that really ticked me off. The closest was Yuffie, but then I liked her too. Each character had their story to unfold while going through the journey of the game. Cloud, Tifa and Vincent were my absolute fave out of the game though. I loved how they had the hidden characters, but I wish they were in the ending movie. Hehehe

Which FF had your Favorite Character, and who is it?
Hm… absolute fave character ey? I don’t think I can choose this one. Cloud, Vincent, Locke, Shadow, Edger, Edge, Auron, Squall, Zidane, Freya- Don’t make me choose!!!!

Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?
I loved the FFVII battle system. The material was really cool and simple. Anyone and everyone could use it. The second I would say is FFVI. I liked how they each could get skills. I was harder, but was cool. The samurai, thief, mages, I loved them.

Which FF had your Favorite Villain, and who is it?
FFVII no doubt. Sephiroth was the greatest, in my opinion. He wasn’t trying to be pure evil, but he was. He wanted to gain the power of the planet because he thought that his mother was suppose to inherit it and not left for greedy people. He had a plan and not to just destroy the world. Also, he killed Aeris. He didn’t try to make her his partner or anything, he killed her to make the planet his. He’s the first villain to kill off one of the main characters, that I could think of. He wasn’t bad from the start, we see that he grew into it when he found out what he really is. I’d be pretty mad too. Heh

Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?
Storyline, it would really be a tight three-way tie with FFVI, FFVII and FFX. Square has always got me sooo absorbed into the FF games that all I could do was play the game. In FFVI, the story itself was very well done, it was simple and to me, well thought out. It was easy and difficult and just fantastic. I want to say more, but I don’t want to leave any spoilers. FFVII was quite twisted. I love twists. FFVII’s story gave me great deals of emotions. Like the soundtrack, you feel many different things when you are playing the game. So much that when I play, it makes me feel like I’m in the game. Hard to describe really. FFX did the same. Just swept me into the game giving me so many emotions. It was wonderful how they tied the Fayths into the characters and how Tidus and… ahh, I don’t want to spoil anything. Really, these three games really can’t be described in words. Just have to play them to know. Heh.

Which FF had your Favorite Ending?
FFX had my favorite ending. I was in tears. The ending was so emotional. What happen to Auron was so surprising, like Aeris dying (hopefully everyone knows that here). And Tidus going away… man, it was something that I think only Squaresoft can do. This is mainly why I’m against a sequel to FFX. The game was great, and I don’t want them to TRY to make it better. But that’s a different story. Anywho- FFX in my opinion had the best ending.

[Rinoa.Heartilly]

Which FF had your Favorite Music?

FFVIII- Eyes on me was great. The songs were very good not to mention the music was fitting to the moments.

Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?

FFX- The charaters were so real.

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

Auron-The way he entered the game, his attitude, his mysteriousness, and the fact he was unsent. He was so cool.


Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?


FFX- Easy,very straight forward. FFVIII was so compicated it was so customisable. It was hard to figure out.

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

FF-VIII-Edea. she was really cool and pretty.

Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?

FFvIII really complex, took some time to figure out. I still do not fully know all the storyline.

Which FF had your Favorite Ending?

FFVIII. I still not beat FFX 'cause I'm trying to max my stats.


EDIT:
I CHANGED MY OPINION NOW THAT I'VE PLAYED MORE FFs
*points down*

[Gunblade]

1. Final Fantasy X. I would say the music was probably the only good part of 10, lol. The main song (forgot the name) was really strong and all the music seemed to fit perfectly with the mood.

2. Final Fantasy IV. The characters had such memorable personalities. Also, there was never a shortage of characters, considering that you fight with 5 people. Also, it had some of the most powerful characters (Cecil, Kain, FuSoYa, Tellah).

3. Final Fantasy IV and Kain. I LOVE dragoons. They are by far my favorite class. And i think Kain is like as cool as a dragoon could get! His personality is cool because he wants to help his friends but he is also jealous of Cecil, and when he is controlled he is at his peak!

4. Final Fantasy VII. I really liked the idea of materia. You could totally customize your characters into ANYTHING you wanted. I think the only down side is that by the end you had like 8 of the same character, lol...

5. Final Fantasy IV. Golbez. I really liked him because the whole game you think he is like this really bad guy and he is behind everything, and then in the end he ends up helping you. You find that Kain wasn't the only one being controlled....

6. Final Fantasy VII. Although the whole amnesia thing was a little overplayed after 7, i thought it was great. Like, you never really expected it until Cloud finds out, and you are just as shocked as he is.

7. Final Fantasy X. It had the most emotional ending and probably the best ending music. Not to mention the terrific graphics in the end when you see all the summons diappearing in the background and Yuna just starring off at Tidus. And then when she runs through him, man that was cool....

MUSIC: That would defenitly be ff6. I love how each character had thier own theme song and how fitting each one was. The music greatly enhanced parts of the game like how variations of Terra's theme during the opening credits as the magi-tek armors marched thier way to Narshe and Maranda in the World of Ruin, the Figaro music during the brother's flashback scenes, and Setzers theme during the ending while the airship flew did. 7 is a close second for similar reasons.

OVERALL CHARACTERS: ff6 again. The story behind one character could fill a game in itself and this game had at least 8 good character stories. The characters were also the most quotable. It seemed like every other event something memorable was said. Again, ff7 is a close second.

BEST CHARACTER: Though I liked ff6 overall I must say ff7's Cloud is my favorite. He had the most interesting story and was... well... cool!

BEST BATTLE SYSTEM: This is a tough one. I loved the job system of ff5 and fft and the materia of ff7. They gave you so many options so, unlike other ff's, 2 players wouldn't end up with the exact same build. What I really didn't like was the tedium required in ff9 for example.

BEST VILLAIN: Its a tie between Kefka and Sepheroth. Sepheroth was so sure he was in the right and had a history with your main character. And Kefka was emotionally unbalanced do to an experiment gone wrong. His main rational was "Why do we live knowing all things must die?" In the simplest terms he's just plain evil.

BEST STORYLINE: Its a tough choice between ff6 and ff7. ff6 had so many characters each with thier own backround all of whos lives were affected by the empire. ff7's story had a personal history between your main character and the main villain. Unlike ff6 the whole game is chasing after one man.

BEST ENDING: ff6 hands down! The later ones may have had thier fancy cinematics but only ff6 was as complete as it was. It went through each characters escape from the tower as thier theme songs played and they said something sentimental. That was followed by the airship flying while Setzers theme played. Very dramatic!

OTHER THINGS: I must say fft would have done very well in all these categories. ff8 was my least favorite. The characters were so bland they might as well have been robots and what little plot there was made even less sense. The game was very confining both in the battle system and the series of events. I have yet to play ff10 so that might change everything but from what I've seen nothing will top 6 & 7. And I don't see what people see in 8 at all.
