What's your best and worst moment from the series?

My choices are actually very close ♥
My best moment was the defeat of Necron with an under leveled party
I don't honestly know how i managed to survive 4 Grand Cross hits (almost in a row) but it felt orgasmic when I did (^_^)

Probably my saddest moment was the ending dialogue, when (I believe) a year from the defeat of Necron, all the characters were going to see a performance of "I want to be Your Canary", and sadly it is heavily implied that Vivi passed on, or "stopped", depending on which term you prefer.

Ozma isn't even the final boss of IX

You're a fucking troll.

Strike Witch · #3 08-06-2011, 05:55 PM

MeechCrunchies · #4 08-06-2011, 06:33 PM

Big fan of the PS1 FF games. And a lot of the offshoots.

DarkHoodness · #6 08-06-2011, 11:52 PM

I couldn't get into the PS1 FFs - They say Final Fantasy 7 was one of the best games ever, but I played Breath of Fire III and Breath of Fire IV first, and found them to be much higher quality and therefore a lot more enjoyable as RPGs. Maybe I needed to have played the SNES Final Fantasies to really understand the style of the PS1 games.

I've played through Final Fantasy X with a friend in the past, and even though it wasn't the best game ever, we found it fun enough to play through it a second time. X-2 sucked quite a bit though - Way to ruin your original game with a spin-off, Square Enix!

We've been playing through Final Fantasy XII occasionally over this year between other games, and trying to get as many items and kill as many side-bosses in the game as we can be bothered to - It's not the most fun I've had with an RPG, but still fun enough for us to rack up a playing time of 110 hours on our save file.

Phylum · #7 08-07-2011, 01:14 AM

I quite like the games, but I don't have the time to really get into them. I always leave them for a few weeks then forget how to play/what I'm doing and, after spending a few hours wondering aimlessly, I go and play Quake or something.

I've only been able to get as far as I have in Dragon Quest VIII because it's simple as fuck and your companions tell you what your objectives are.

MeechCrunchies · #8 08-07-2011, 01:58 AM

I started Tactics a few hours ago.
It's a good game, especially for one so early in the PS1's life cycle
but the pacing is like molasses..

Wings of Fire · #9 08-07-2011, 02:00 AM

I'm an odd fan. I dislike X a lot and love X-2.

Other than that I like I, IV, VI, VII, VIII, IX and XII

Also Tactics Advance and TA2.

Jordan · #10 08-07-2011, 02:05 AM

I loved VII and VIII, they were the first I played properly. I've dabbled in the other games, X moreso than the others. I still need to properly play the SNES FFs. I think the fact that I played the PS1 Final Fantasies first has possibly damaged my view towards them. That sounds incredibly stupid, because I don't usually care which generation a game is from, but I was so mindblown by VII and VIII, the others seem to have a lot to live up for me.

MeechCrunchies · #11 08-07-2011, 02:11 AM

Have you played IX?
I can see where you're coming from.
I got wrapped up in VII,VIII and IX, so much so that I've never really touched the SNES and NES games. I should get around to them

Ridg3 · #12 08-07-2011, 03:15 AM

I dislike X-2 a lot and love X.

Jordan · #13 08-07-2011, 02:02 PM

I've not played IX properly. When I first tried it (which was quite recently) I died on the first boss and gave up. How shit am I?

Mr. Bungle · #14 08-08-2011, 12:03 AM

I'm currently playing through VI and VII and enjoying the hell out of both. I'm not sure which I prefer, but I think I'm gonna go with VII simply because I've played it a lot more. After I've completed both, I'll see which one is my favourite.

MeechCrunchies · #15 08-08-2011, 05:22 AM

Sephiroth aint got nothin on Kefka though..

Crashpunk · #16 08-08-2011, 05:55 AM

I'm not a fan of FF but the SNES ones were good.

I'm I the only one who thinks FFVII is overrated?

Wings of Fire · #17 08-08-2011, 05:58 AM

:

No. So much of the internet hates it because it's popular that it's not even considered that great a game anymore.

Fuck you all, Final Fantasy VII was an amazing game for so many reasons.

Mr. Bungle · #18 08-08-2011, 07:03 AM

Yeah. It's almost become so cool to hate FFVII that it isn't.

Jordan · #19 08-08-2011, 07:49 AM

I had a brief moment of agreeing that FFVII is overrated, but that was after beating VIII and realising that VII wasn't the only good one in the series. I overcame that after replaying VII.

Dixanadu · #20 08-08-2011, 09:48 AM

Uematsu and Sakaguchi made Final Fantasy good.

Without them, now it's just shit.

V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X

XII was okay. I liked the monster hunting. It sucked ass in XIII though.

Wings of Fire · #21 08-08-2011, 11:18 AM

You forgot IV, Final Fantasy got good at IV.

Ridg3 · #22 08-08-2011, 01:47 PM

I bought FFIV for my phone and I'm just waiting until I want to return to the horrible shitty controls to try and finish it.

Wings of Fire · #23 08-08-2011, 01:49 PM

Whilst no VI, IV is at the very least better than V.

The only thing I really liked about V was Faris.

Dixanadu · #24 08-09-2011, 03:37 PM

I rented that when I was younger.

I haven't played it since, I could never find it anywhere.

I'll sell it you on the GBA for the cost of post and packaging if you want.

Destro · #26 08-09-2011, 04:10 PM

in a final fantasy game i have, the monster you hunt after rogue tomato is fucking hard! i can hardly kill it or hurt it very well.

Ridg3 · #27 08-11-2011, 01:51 AM

That would be Final Fantasy XII. An okay game.

Dynamithix · #28 08-11-2011, 02:54 AM

I have Final Fantasy IV for the DS. I heard it was a great game or whatever so I decided to buy it. I only played about 2 hours of it and gave up, I managed to beat 2 bosses I think. Wasn't really a game for me.

The game doesn't actually start until around four to six hours in. If Cecil is still a Dark Knight then you're still in the prologue.

Dynamithix · #30 08-11-2011, 07:20 AM

Well, if a game requires you to play 6 hours until it starts to be decent, it's not a good game in my books.
