Favorite Final Fantasy [Intellectual Version]

[King Fenii]

I'm glad someone wants an intelligent opinion about people, and not just short blabbers on how 'LOL' a Final Fantasy can be. Okay, enough about that, back to the topic!

Favorite Music:
The best music used in a Final Fantasy was in Final Fantasy IX. Why? Simply because it accentuated the whole situation you were in every time. In FFVII or FFVIII, the themes of the games were more modern, thus making the music more modern, that doesn't mean they weren't good, but I just pick FFIX because of the whole fairy-tale setting.

Favorite Characters:
This is without a doubt in Final Fantasy VII. It's hard to say who isn't cool in the game. I even like Cait Sith! The characters are in the game just have so much spunk, and seem invincible. So self-confident and so much morale. And every character has his own history (of course ANY character in a RPG has), but in FFVII, you can find out everything about the main characters, what makes you more connected to the characters.

All Time Favorite Character:
In Final Fantasy VII, the first person you see is Aeris, well that isn't my favorite character, I always thought she was a bit weak and non-persistant. My favorite is Cloud Strife. Okay, it's noy really original, but he is just the best. The perfect swordsman, attitude like hell. Rides a motorcycle, and kicks his idol's *ass. My second favorite character all time is Red XIII, just because he is so noble and wise (Ok, he's an old geezer), but being smart AND being strong, that really impresses me. On the third place is Cyan from Final Fantasy VI, he has a tragic history, he's a noble swordsman AND he is always polite.

Favorite Battle System:
Final Fantasy always, generally, had the same sytem: The ATB system, it's the system I know the best and cherish the most, the good will play an incredibly fast battle, the weak will play with a 6 Battle Speed and Wait.

Favorite Villain:
I think this is a retorical question.....of course I'm gonna say Sephiroth. He is just, too cool. A little insane though but still. This guy even has his own theme song! I also reallly loved Kefka, this guy screwed the whole empire, and gained power for himself, and I like his sinister laugh.

Favorite Storyline:
Again, Final Fantasy VII, because Cloud was struggling with himself and finding out the truth during the game. Always knwoing that Sehpiroth was stronger than him, he defeated him in the very end. It was just beautiful.

Favorite Ending:
That's a though one, I liked almost all the endings. I liked the one from VII, but it isn't my favorite. My favorite ending is from FFIX. I'm not gonna tell the ending, cuz it's kind of a spoiler, but I just loved it, very dramatic.

In the end I choose FFVII as my favorite Final Fantasy, this doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the rest of the Final Fantasies. The reason no Final Fantasy below 6 is listed here, is because Square learned from his mistakes and improved with almost every new Final Fantasyl they released..........

The best Music from a final fantasy, for me had to be FFIX, I love the music from terra and burmecia and i just can't get enough of them. I actually bought the soundtrack for it but they are pretty hard to find, in short it just made me feel into it more than ony of the others.

I think that the characters from IX were great as well, they were very diverse and it was the first game where the character was based on the job they performed. Up until then you could basically make anyone anything you wanted. It was good to see the original black mage and at the beginning when Garnet/Dagger wore the white cloak to escape she reminded me of the classic white mage. I think that my only problem with any of the characters was Amarant Coral, he just wasn't a very good monk also would have been nice to see a red mage used.

My favourite character is Rikku from final fantasy X, shes fast, agile, and in the end has one of the most useful overdrives. My respects also go out to some of my other faves, Vivi, Barret and Auron.

The best battle system was X-2, the fast overlapping moves where allies can take damage for eachother if timed right. It's such a pity the ability system was so bad, along with the storyline and the overall hype of the game. The best ability system i think should alos be mentioned here and I think that that was the junction system from FFVIII, whilst i didn't like the game much I had heaps of fun drawing spells from enemies to beef up my characters resistance and added abilities.

I would have to say that there have been some really evil villains in the series and although Seymour was scary evil, i think that the most evil of the evil was Kuja. There was an FMV sequence to the end of that game where he blows the crap out of Terra and he spins in mid air and it is the most menacing thing I've ever seen in a game.

Storyline for me goes to FFX it took me so long to work out but after I did it made the most sense and just worked so well for me i had to play it again to marvel at its beauty, with all the little subtleties in the script.

The best ending had to be X also because the plot went so well and watching it was just so good, especially when Auron gets sent.

[2ndPower]

My favorite music was in FFX. The music for this was composed beautifully, and it did an excellent job of setting the mood.

Overall, my favorite characters were in FFVI. You saw great depths of personality in this game, and one could easily relate to the characters.

My favorite character is Squall form FFVIII. I'm generally a quiet and anti-social guy, quite like Squall. I saw a bit of myself in him.

My favorite battle system was in FFVI. While I do enjoy the amount of customization in the other games, I do like my characters to be naturally distinct, and the personal abilities this game provided worked well for me.

My favorite villain was Kefka from FFVI. He was completely maniacal, and somewhat crazy, and even put the world in ruin to achieve his own ends.

My favorite storyline is the one from FFVI. I thought it was great how the characters goals kept changing e.g. How a quest to find Terra ended up becoming a quest to save the world. It is also full of unexpected twists.

FFX had my favorite ending. I thought it was the most emotional of all the endings, as well as the most well executed.

1. FF9 had my favourite. It really fitted in with the theme of the game. And I really enjoyed it.

2. FF7 had my favourite characters. The characters were well thought out, and really cool!

3. FF7. My favourite characters are Aeris and Tifa maybe..

4. FF7. Its was easy and the materia actaully fitted in with the story-line.

5. I wasn't really into the villians, but my favourite was The Shinra.

6. FF7 defently had the better storyline. It really confused me at times, but I loved it!

7. FF9 had the best ending. It was really great.

[awall]

Music: FF8, hands down. Force Your Way has got to be the single best boss music ever. Don't Be Afraid is the only battle music I can listen to over and over again and not get tired of it. I also am somewhat partial to the eerie Sorceress themes mid-game. And of course, who could forget the final boss suite (The Legendary Beast, Maybe I'm a Lion, The Extreme)?

Cast of Characters: FFX. Usually parties are just collections of characters thrown together for gameplay purposes. FFX's party, however, had personality as a whole. There was tension between Wakka and Rikku, Lulu was a bit condesending toward Tidus at times... the inter-character dynamics were very well thought out.

Individual Character: Squall, FF8. He was such a beautifully designed and well developed character, and his rivalry/friendship with Seifer was a masterpiece of characterization.

Battle System: FFT. The entire game was about battles. Need I say more? If so, there were many parts of the system that I loved... the strategic nature of the battles... the difficulty (when was the last time a FF was actually hard?), the parallel nature of characters and enemies (they play by the same rules you do... same max HP, same damage scale, same abilities, etc.)... the customizability (I've replayed countless times and had a drastically different party each time), and the huge range of abilities.

Villian: Hmm... I like villians who honestly believe they're good guys... or at least not bad. Villians who are being evil for their own selfish goals are no fun... In order for a villian to seem believable, I have to be able to sympathize with him, or at least understand where he's coming from. Seifer (FF8) and Wiegraf (FFT) are both very good in this regard. Even Ritz (FFT-A) was okay as far as this goes. Seymour and Sephiroth are sorta okay, but they're a bit too much on the maniacal side of things... I can't sympathize with someone who's trying to destroy the world.

Storyline: FF6. Epic... simpily epic. Moreso than FF7 in my opinion. VI is a struggle for survival against a cruel god raining destruction from his tower. VII was also very good, but it felt too... forced... (for lack of a better word)... in some places. FFT was also great, but it's really hard to tell a story in a tactics-RPG.

Ending: I don't like the endings of the older games... after you beat the final boss, that doesn't mean the world should all of the sudden become all wonderful and peaceful... (glares accusingly at FF6). I'd have to say I like FFT the best because it's very open-ended and allows for interpretation.

Final Fantasies VIII, X, and Unlimited by FAR were in posession of the greatest score. I would have an extremely difficult time trying to discern my partiality to any one of these, though. All are delightful.

I thought that Final Fantasies VIII and X had the best developmental and personality differences in the series. Again, both are too challenging to tell which is my personal favorite.

My favorite character, eh...? Hands down, Squall Leonhart of Final Fantasy VIII. What an amazing and inspiring story of change and growth this young man portrays as he goes along in the story; his boyish and confronatational rivalry with peer Seifer Almasy does not harm his reputation in the least.

...and the omnipresent and ever-controversial topic, the battle system. Mine? Final Fantasy Tactics Advance; undisputed, unswayable, imperturbable. The epitimy of enjoyment, especially when knocking one's foe off a large drop-off. Mmmyes.

I cannot say which villain was the best, mostly because I have not beaten most of the games and what little I have watched does not provide me with sufficient grounds on which to make my claim. But drawing on what little knowledge I have, I will be driven to say Sin/Jecht, from Final Fantasy X.

The penultimate reply; the storyline! Many cheers and dancings about. Final Fantasy VIII, completely and utterly. Wonderful characters, engaging story, and although somewhat partial to tangents (what Final Fantasy isn't, is my question!), utterly spectacular!

Awww... of course, how fitting to terminate this syllabus with my favorite ending. I declare this the ending to (somewhat obvious, no?) Final Fantasy VIII. Love it. There is not much to define why, save for the fact that it was the smoothest one, and did not (thankfully) leave room for ruination from a sequel. Marvelously grand.

Which FF had your Favorite Music?

FF VII. Great character themes . The girls had a soft emotional(Aeris) sound to it. While the guys had more strong tense sound to them. Best track has to be one winged angel. The music has so much darkness in it which makes it the ultimate bad guy theme.

Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?

FF IX. The style changed from being realistic and human back to cartoony and Fantasy like. All the characters had some kind of Disney feeling to me which I found a good thing.

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

FF IX. As in the previous question I stated that FF IX had the best characters to me. So it's obvious I chose one from this game, being Vivi. Vivi reminded me of Pinoccio, his storyline really touched me which makes him my favorite FF character.

Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?

FF X. It was really helpful having that turn indicator at the upper right of your screen and it made you think to make better decisions in some situations. Best of all you could switch a character for another at any time during a battle and sometimes you had to which made it tactical and more fun.

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

FF VII. Sephiroth is my favorite villain all time. The way he was conceived makes you understand why he did what he felt was right to him. His motives and his affection for his mother not caring about anything else made him turn into a devil. When I came upon the scene where Aeris got killed I knew this guy was serious.

Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?

FF VII. The story showed great quality writing. Lots of unforgettable moments. Cloud's past intertwining with Zack was cleverly done. Barret and Dyne's story could've been taken out of a movie. Aeris who was the innocent victim of Sephiroth's rage. All the scenes taken from this game will always have a place in my memories.

Which FF had your Favorite Ending?

FF IX. The final scenes had so much emotion in it and the suspense was building. Was he alive? Would he come and see her? All these questions you knew the answer of but the way it happened was like in a movie. A cloaked figure showing up and surprise it's Zidane, finally running into each others arms (aaaahw).

Music - Final Fantasy 7
The music just got caught in my head. In my opinion the first FF with good music. One-Winged Angel is stuck in my head and I will always love the tribal Cosmo Canyon/Seto/RedXIII music

Overall Characters - Final Fantasy 7
Some of the characters were mysterious and cold (Sephiroth/Vincent/Cloud)
Some of the characters were funny (Yuffie/Cid/Cait Sith)
One was an animal (Red XIII)
One was sexy (Tifa)
And one of them, unexpectedly and explicably died (Aerith)
Just a great cast...

Character - what else, Final Fantasy 7
Red XIII. Red is an tiger/wolf who is like a tribal member. Red has family problems and throughout the game definately evolves (maturing).

Battle System - FF7
I love materia!!! I don't like the FF battle systems when only certain characters can summon (btw, I like the FF8 junction system) certain characters, only some can use magic, blah, blah, blah. That'd be FF9. But, FF7 is simple and materia gives you a lot of mixing and matching to do and is simple...


Best Villain - FF6...no, just joking, FF7
Hojo...is just the perfect mad scientist and SPOILER Hojo is Sephiroth's father...the perfect Darth Vader syndrome SPOILER end. Sephiroth is also a great evil villain, just classic.

Storyline - Final Fantasy 7
It is futuristic and just envelopes you into it with a good plot, unlike FF9, which I hate.... Well, aside the hate, FF7 has everything, metropolis, tribal, ancestry, mystery, plus a theme park.... And, I just love the game and everything about the game.

Ending - FF7
Yes, the ending leaves you to wonder, but watch the credits!!! My favorite character, Red XIII gets a mohawk and some kids, and is the only character to completely survive FF7 (ha ha, Red is old, everyone else died of old age)

[fire exit man]

The best FF for music/soundtrack has to be FFX, it start with the heavy FMV blitz sequence track and continues with excellent consistency, also, I love the piece 'In Zanarkand' because of how it is intertwined with Tidus' emotions at that point in the game.

FFVII definitely had my favourite characters. Cloud was awesome, and had a lot of character development throughout the game, which I liked a lot. Tifa and Barrett also had a lot of development, in fact, nearly all the characters did. The only downside was Yuffie… god I hated her! That's why I never even bothered to get her after my first play through. But Vincent is cool.

FFVII's Vincent was my favourite character, simply because he had my favourite back story of any FF character. The dark, dingy former Turk that had a unknown number of horrific experiments done on him to the point where he has the ability to become a monster.

FFVII has my favourite battle system, everything you need to know is at the bottom of the screen, so at a glance you can check everything (plus I love how they changed the system after FFVI)

I think my favourite FF villain had to be Kain from FFIV, for the part of the game where he's actually against your party. It was the first time I'd fought against my own party members and I thought it was brilliant for the plot development of the game.

FFX has my favourite storyline, the transition to Spira is a bit… odd, but the rest of the game follows through perfectly. Especially with Tidus being the outsider of the game, and you seeing it form his perspective, learning things as he does. Also, the characters join the party at well timed intervals, and the two Zanarkand's was very intriguing.

FFX defiantly had my favourite ending. It seemed to sum up the whole mess of things that had happened throughout the game very well I think. Plus it was the first time I had ever seen an FF character cry, and this was made all the more moving by the fact that it was the lead character who was doing it.

So, overall it looks like my favourite FF is FFX with FFVII a close second behind it (and this took ages to write as well!)

Favorite villain is without a doubt Sephiroth because he was how a villain should be. I'm sick of these Kefka characters that are just pure evil, and not developed well for their reasoning. Sephiroth was developed and I truly felt for him. Plus his character design was amazing; the One-Winged Angel is the greatest symbolism I;ve seen.


My favorite final fantasy game would have to 7 or 8
More towards 7

Final Fantasy VII had the best selection of characters. To stand and look at them you wouldn't think they'd be travelling the world together....but it is fantasy...i liked all the characters from Final Fantasy VII.

Which FF had your Favorite Music?

Had to be FFVII..the music is haunting..Especially The Aeris Death teme..gives me goosepimples everytime..FFX opening theme is good also.

Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?

FFVII and FFT about a 50/50 spread...although like Masamune..I didn't like Cait Sith..but I LOVED Yuffie.

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

Cloud. I like him..he's a Weak (normal) person caught up in extraordinary events. Rikku and Vincent are up there also.

Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?

I liked FFVII's Materia setup..but i also Like FFX's Player Switching..I hated FFVIII's Magic system (Draw?). Combining 7 and 10 would be good.


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

Duh, the "One Winged Angel" blows em all away.

Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?

Well, It's hard but..Ultimately I chose FFVII over Tactics...(i hated 8's)

Which FF had your Favorite Ending?

As much as I loved Playing FFVII..it's ending was..odd...IIj sucked..Tactics was okay..Guess the best and most rewarding Is IV...V wasn't too bad either.

Fav Battle System. This is difficult, but I would give it to FF7. FF7 had the depth of newer age systems with the rewarding and progressive nature of the old school. Older games are too basic, yet newer games could quite stay balanced. In FF8 it gave you supreme control which made thigns too easy and effortless, taking the point out of battling (which led to me using Enc-None all the time) and then FFX while ingenius in so many ways (character switching *drool*, all the abilities), basically was very unbalanced. You were very weak for a long time (relying on Aeons when things got tough) then suddenly had massive power that could destroy anything. Status effects were also useless because anything weak enough to actually be hurt by them could be easily taken out by sheer strength. However Final Fantasy 7 gave you all the depth of newer games, the different magics, status spells, command abilities, and ability to mix them all together. Yet kept it all in old-school progression, rewarding you progressively for time and effort. Not only in magic growth, but in magic use and combination through weapons which progressively held more at a time. Complex but not hard, control but not overpowered, perfectly balanced and progressive. FF7 is definitely the best dispite lack of small refinements given with the current gen of systems.
Fav Villain. FF7. As I said before Sephiroth had reasons, sure he was still nuts but he seemed far more deep, intelligent, and even yes - human, about it all. His quest for power is very human, though amplified by madness and increasing power. He started out cool and ended a different flavor of the same cool. His role through the game was far more important to everyone than villians in most other games. And plus the thing that gets him the biggest props - he offed that stupid ditz Aeris! He sure knows how to pick em, it's sad I couldnt shake his hand and thank him for that before I offed him. But yeah, she was my most hated character in any RPG, he gets MAD PROPS for that, heh. FF7 also has the best supporting villians - the Turks! they are just so cool.

Which FF had your Favorite Music?
Tough question. But I'm gonna go with FFIX's because most of my favorite pieces are there, and most of these pieces are uniquely-made and stick to your mind.

Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?
I have to say FFVII because you have a fair share of knowledge regarding the main characters' backgrounds and there isn't a cardboard like character who, if removed from the game, wouldn't taint its story. All of them contributed a lot to the story.

Which FF had your Favorite Character, and who is it?
FFVIII -- Rinoa Heartilly. The female character who has captured my heart the most. I instantly admired her the first time I saw her and was the reason I decided to play the FF series. I like her personality and her totality, especially her knack of bringing out the best in others.

Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?
I would say FFX because of the ability to control your aeons and the in-game character switching.

Which FF had your Favorite Villain, and who is it?
Obviously FFVII -- Sephiroth. Definitely the best villain in the series. He's a superb swordsman, cool-looking, and is a perfect embodiment of evil, emotional instability and pure madness. A perfect combo.

Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?
FFVIII. It may mostly revolve on Squall and Rinoa's love story but it was executed in a very nice, memorable way. And it's nice how two totally different individuals meet and change each other's lives. The same pattern could also be seen on most ff series, but as for me, it was best executed in FFVIII.

Which FF had your Favorite Ending?
Also FFVIII. A perfect definition of a perfect, happy ending. The length of the FMV is also a plus factor, as well as the three most special scenes in my opinion - squall and seifer's genuine, 'from the heart' smile, and rinoa and squall's kiss. Among the others, I find it the most satisfying.

Which FF had your Favorite Music?

I'd have to say FF9. I loved most of the songs and they just seemed to fit the mood perfectly. My favourites being Melodies of life, the battle music and the one where Zidanes freinds join him again near the end. I forgot the name

Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?

I'm gonna go with 9 again, they had the most memorable characters and you really felt for them at the end. My favourites would be Zidane, Amarant and Steiner.

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

It'll have to be 9 again, my favourite being Zidane. He was happy go lucky unlike Cloud and Squall and he never held back the fact that he liked Garnet which was funny
He also gradually became more serous towards the end and was turning out to be more of the hero type character.

Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?

Not many peple liked it, but I thought 8's was the best. You had to be a little more strategic then the past systems.

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

Kuja was my favourite. He was very poetic which made him seem sinister. But at the end you felt sorry for him and you can understand at the end why he went crazy knowing he was gonna die.

Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?

10 I beleive had the best storyline. It was very religious and when they all started breaking the rules it got exciting
Plus the whole Tidus is a dream thing was very cool.

Which FF had your Favorite Ending?

10, because it was very emotional and left you feeling really sad at the end of it. Knowing that Tidus had sacrificed his own life just for the whole world. He sacrificed everything and you just had to respect him after that.

[RedMagician]

Which FF had your Favorite Music?
To me, it has always been FFIV It was one of my first FF's that I got, so I remember the music in it. A huge step in the musics from Squaresoft. The one that I remember the most is The Final Battle and Mystic Mysidia. They both had good sound and especially in Final Battle it was fantastic.


Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?
It was FF1. The choice from 6 classes, was very good idea. SPOILER*And not to tell the class change END OF SPOILER* You can make even groups were are only fighters.


Which FF had your Favorite Character, and who is it?
Well.... Red Mage!! from FF1 was my favorite character. The good thing about him is, that he can use white AND black magic. And he can have high attack too. Prodably the best character released from Squaresoft.


Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?
FFX It helps beginners that you can switch characters during a battle. In some Final Fantasies you can't switch them during a battle, so you can see it in his/her stats. And it helps you in boss battles too. If you're nearly dead, just switch.


Which FF had your Favorite Villain, and who is it?
It would be FFVI with Kefka. Of course, Kefka dominates because of his evil laugh . Nah, it's because he's really weird and crazy man who looks like a clown. But not in the last battle. In it he looks kewl. Just look at him. He's unbelievable.


Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?
There it prodably all goes to FFIV. SPOILER* It has this Darth Vader and Luke kind of thing, when Cecil hears that Golbez is his brother. END OF SPOILER* But even the love thing with Cecil and Rosa is something new from Squaresoft(or was something like that in FF3?).


Which FF had your Favorite Ending?
SPOILER* We all love happy endings, and FFIV has something to offer. The wedding of Kain and Rosa, Edge and Rydia falling in love, is just so.....well you know what I mean . Another good idea from Squaresoft. **** I love it END OF SPOILER * (And text )

[Crazy Chocobo]

Which FF had your Favorite Music?
I really enjoyed the music from Final Fantasy VIII. Eyes on Me is such a beautiful song. The battle music was catchy and never got on my nerves. There were some really nice melodies on this game. Final Fantasy X also had some beautiful music but Final Fantasy VIII takes my vote.

Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?
I loved the Final Fantasy X cast of characters. They were all unique and had interesting personalities. Everyone says how much they don't like Tidus but I actually liked his character. All the characters in X were pretty cool.

Which FF had your Favorite Character, and who is it?
Final Fantasy X had my favourite character. Yuna, she was an optimistic young woman who didn't let anything stand in her way. She was brave even though she knew she was going to die. She made sure she always had a smile on her face. She is an inspirational character in my opinion.

Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?
Once again I'm going to say X. It was cool because you could change your characters during battle and that was quite handy, especially during boss battles. The sphere grid was different and I actually liked the way it worked. I thought it was easy to use unlike the Final Fantasy VIII junctioning that took me ages to learn properly.

Which FF had your Favorite Villain, and who is it?
Well, it definitely wasn't Seymour from Final Fantasy X. I found him very annoying. I have no idea how many times I had to fight him during X but all I know was it was too many. My favourite is probably Kefka from Final Fantasy VI. He was quite an interesting villain, always laughing at something. He was quite a crazy man but I still thought he was pretty awesome.

Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?
Final Fantasy VIII had my favourite storyline. This was the first Final Fantasy I ever got into and I was obsessed with it from start to finish. It was a love story and I'm one of those people who adore love stories lol. It was a nice way how Squall and Rinoa met and how he risked his life to save her.

Which FF had your Favorite Ending?
Definitely Final Fantasy X. It had the most beautiful ending in my opinion. It was very sad and I enjoyed watching it. I prefer sad endings to happy endings... yes I know, I'm weird. I did feel very sorry for Yuna though, losing her true love like that.

[Angantyr]

Which FF had your Favorite Music?

Firstly the music, FFIX has a great soundtrack in the overal sense as it was produced specifically for the game, the whole atmosphere of the story suits the music, it goes togethers pretty much flawlessly. I would also like to point out that the OST from the very 1st FF is done quite well, there is not too much to it but the whole game isnt that long from what I can see, I really enjoyed the forgotten temple music, I love that sound and the Matoyas cave peice, (the black mages did a great cover of this. I Also enjoyed the boss music to FFVII.

Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?

Im not to worried as most of them had their good points and their bad points. Overall I guess it would be VIII storywise as none of the characters agitated me as Steiner, Barret and Tidus bothered me, Irvine was a bit of a show off but he did it well. I havent played it in a long time so its kind of hard to remember but from what I can 8 had the most enjoyable characters imo

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

As above I will have to say Squall, he seemed more of a real person with his own personallity compared to Cloud, Zidane reminds me of my little brother and Tidus was a crybaby. In some ways I am like Squall so yeah I guess I kind of understand where he was coming from in the story, Except I would of went for Quistis not Rinoa

Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?

This is a hard 1 as 5 had a really great system but I never got used to its full potential, more mixing, prehaps combos and special abilities would be nice. Overall I guess I would go with X, as there was heaps to do, catching monsters, completeing the sphere grid, beating all the extra monsters, the dark aeons and such, it really felt worth all that time doing it.

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

I was never to focused on this part as I just saw them as an obstical in the game, the originals had a somewhat basic, not really indepth storyline, Sephroth was done quite well but there wasnt much friction like a thin line between love and hate if you know what I mean. I guess I would have to say my favourite would be Seifer, the way he carried himself and approached Squall, a true rival.

Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?

I would have to say II as even though it was fairly simply, it was still done quite well, possibly the best thing about it was the story. IX was never really drawn from the original stories, it was pretty much a new story for a new game made to fit an old medi evil adventure.

Which FF had your Favorite Ending?

Also I would have to say II, the reason? Cause you can keep playing! Ok well I never did as, as far as I know there is nothing else you can do. But seriously the ending to VIII was possibly my favourite, I still didnt understand it but it kind of pulls things together. I had an arguement with my friend wether Squall died or not and we still are unsure but oh well, prehaps somebody could elaborate on my opinions

[Dragoon_Nick]

Which FF had your Favorite Music?

A: I would have to say FFX because of it's touching soundtrack. From sorrow to joy, it brought me a memorable time playing the game for the first time. I especially liked "To Zanarkand".

Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?

A: FFIV had extremely awesome characters. Kain, Cecil, Golbez, Rydia, Cid and Rosa really made up the party, and i mean that in two ways.

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

A: As obvious at is might be, Kain Highwind From FFIV was the mvp of the game. With his emotional contribution to the story, he possessed an exciting skill new to all of the gamers.

Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?

A: This is sort of an invalid question since a good 3/4 of the games contain the ATB battle system which in my opinion is more challenging than turn by turn.

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

A: Definitely Sephiroth from FFVII, since he created an anticipated fight definitely worth experiencing.(Although quite easy) Sephiroth left many FF fans in sorrow after brutally thrusting his sword through Aeris' body. As a result leading to an anxious vengeance.

Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?

A: With such a complex and weird storyline, FF8 stole the win for this department. The game had many moments and trully left me in awe upon first play.

Which FF had your Favorite Ending?

A: I think that a wedding after ridding the earth of potential evil is the best ending. Hence making FFIV my choice for this category...

Music-I'd have to say that the music for me would be a tie between 7 and 8. 7's music was very ominous, and gave you a very dark and corrupted feel, which I thought was an excellent job. 8 had an open and expansive sound, like there was a whole world for you to discover, and it was filled with so many differant things.

Characters-It would have to go to 6. it had many people, similar and alike. I liked some and disliked others. The characters were differant enough for me to have to pick 6 in the end.

Character-Even though he's from 8 I'd pick Squall. There was a nice steady progression of him becoming more aware of his true emotions, and that's what made me like him as my favorite charcter.

Overall-8 was the best. I just liked how long the game took and how you felt satisfied with what happened and how everyone ended up.

Battle System-8 (duh) I really thought the junctioning system was a good way to make your charcters uber strong if you knew how to do it. the first time through I was slow at it, but on my second run I really got a handle on it, and had a perfect team. I thought it was a very good way to strategize your team, and that one was the best.

Villian-7, Sephiroth was evil. And I don't just mean evil, I mean insane and out for anyone who dared to cross him. He was a perfect SOLDIER and could kill with ease.

Storyline-8 it's warlike scenario was intense and needless to say I thought it was great. It just felt differant than the others, like you were serving a purpose and that you were fighting fo more than a few people. it was like you were an elite team that was not to be reckoned with. It's mix of war, love, action, and fantasy made it the best story they've come up with so far.

Ending-And last but not least...8. It had such a sweet and beautiful anding with Rinoa and Squall kissing, while a smile was actually on his face. I think no other ending compares and I would pick 8 over the others any day.

I suppose the "Intellectual Version" bit didn't occur to you...

Which FF had your Favorite Music?
It's easily noticable that each soundtrack has its own sound, so the choice for me is really decided by which sound I liked the most. I've always loved the sound of FF6, however, for me, FF8 probably had the best. Every track is layered so nicely, and the songs really create a wonderful atmosphere.

Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?
Interesting question. On a whole, I'd have to say FF6. There were plenty of characters to choose from, and pretty much all of them had wonderful and rich storylines. Despite there being a lot of characters, each one was unique, and this is quite the task to fulfill for a cast of 14. It was also a game where the female's role become really important.

Which FF had your Favorite Character, and who is it?
FF6, Cyan Garamonde. I've always loved Cyan, mainly because he's tough bastard with the "dark swords" of the previous games. I also enjoyed how he used what I suppose you could call "Renaissance English", by saying stuff like "thou" all the time. His story is certainly compelling, having to deal with the loss of his family. Overall, a very well-rounded character.

Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?
Well, battle systems have been pretty much the same, but I liked what was done with FF9. Ability points + learning abilities from equipment. These abilities certainly helped throughout the game, not to meniton the whole trance deal. Most characters had pretty kickass abilities whilst in trance, especially Vivi.

Which FF had your Favorite Villain, and who is it?
As far as I'm concerned, Kefka is probably the best villain in the series. Perhaps I say that because I'm somewhat biased, but I just don't think that the rest can stand up to him. He's pure insane, and his progression to insanity is well documented. Using Terra to kill his own soldiers? Poisoning an entire castle? Not to mention bringing the world to ruin and destroying an entire town.

Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?
Once again, FF6 wins the award for this one. It really applies to real life, too. Give people power, and they feel as though they can do whatever they please until it turns around and bites them in the ass. In the case of FF6, that's magic.

Which FF had your Favorite Ending?
To be honest, I never really liked the endings to any of the games. A lot of them are just full of crap. I suppose I'd say FFIV, because that's about the only truly satisfying one, to me, anyway.

Which FF had your Favorite Music?

i would have to go with final fantasy 7 on this one... the pure emotion is captured in aries' theme, and never fails to make me emotional everytime i hear it. one winged angel also made ff7 memorable.

Which FF had your Favorite Characters Overall?

final fantasy 7 had very interesting characters, but i would go for final fantasy VI on this one. All the characters are different, and for some reason, they just didn't like that crazy dude ruling and destroying their world.

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

overall, i think aries is my favorite character... why? because she is like the obi-wan of the world of final fantasy 7. She new she needed to save the planet. She knew she can only do this if she was one with the lifestream. She told clout that she will andle it, giving her a strong personality. And though she's kind of a flirt, it was perfectly normal because even though she's cetra, shes still human (huh?? didn't make sense). When she willingly let sephiroth kill her, she kinda told him "if you killl me no, i will be more powerful than you can ever imagine" - obi wan's last words to darth vader in the death star

and guess what? she did become powerful, more powerful than the the meteor. even in advent children, she was the answer to the geostigma disease. so yeah, she's my favorite.

plus she made me cry when she ddied for the sake of the planet. sob..

Which FF had your Favorite Battle System?

i liked final fantasy VII's materia system because it is fully customizable.. you want a summoner? put all the summon materia on one person. What happens? The character becomes weak and easy to kill, due to the low hp, but at te same time, the character would have high mp, enabling the character to be A "summoner". Want a red mage? add healing AND magic materia. Want a knight? put hp up materia and cover and defense up materia and all types of materia to buff the characters hp and defense. Want a pure attacker? just put the right materias and BOOM, you have you slicing and dicing character. the options became limitless, really..

runner up: ff3's esper system, kinda like what i stated above, but still different...also there isn't a summoner coz you can only have one esper at a time...

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

sephiroth... hands down...
masamune
badass costume
badass attitude
badass moves

'nuff said

Which FF had your Favorite Storyline?

FFVII had very interesting points, especially the part where you know cloud's past, which really came out of nowhere, but there were some parts that needed some polishing and better scriptwriting. so my vote on this is FFVI, where the world was actually destroyed, which never happens in ANY ff game, and having to find the party members made it feel good to get back at that crazy kefka dude.

Which FF had your Favorite Ending?

my favorite ending? i'd have to go with FFIX... it was sweet and romantic... *sigh*

FF X had the best music for me because the theme tune is the best and the tune when you first come to Luca(the various versions of these two songs rock).

FF X had the best characters overall because each character had an intresting history and how they interacted was great.

FF VIII had my Favourite character Raijin. He is my fave because he was a great fighter and a loyal friend.

My Favourite battle system was FF IX because you have the perfect amount of characters in a party, you had to equip support techs(that way you are not invincible) and ech character is one in a million.

FF X has my fave villain it is Seymour. He is the best IMO because he does the villainy on the inside as a maester.

The best FF storyline was X because it isn't like your usual FF, at first your trying to defeat a monster that is revived every 10 years but Seymour is exploiting Sin and is trying to use it to kill the whole of Spira and make them undead.

Thebest ending was X it really touched e and the song at the end was beautiful

So Overall I like X the most.
