Final Fantasy: which is best

Plasticman

why isn't anyone but me voting for 6?!! it was the best!! closely followed by 7!! graphics aren't everything!!

s0l

I said 7 10 and 1
on the basis that 7 has been the game that has the most influence on my life ever.
if happened on my "coming of age" and is my first clear memory of gaming.
I was around 10 years olf and it took me around 8 months to finish it, but I got so incredably into it that fact I sucked at the game didnt comprehend
<SPOILER EDITED - A>and spent ages trying to get all the Chocobos which I finally managed on like the 7th month.
I picked 10 because I'm playing it now and its so very very pretty and cool and did I mention pretty? and the characters r0x0r, not as much as 7's though and did I mention its cool? and the voice acting was done brilliantly

and I picked 1 because it gave us the
Greatest Webcomic Ever (tm)

<Bad boy, big BIG plot spoiler, there are still plenty of people who havent played it - A>

FF7 rox tho, oh yeah

lordsippa

Hold on... 7 was 97? ... so... 15? hehehe... i use thought! whee!

Personally... CHRONOTRIGGER WAS SO MUCH BETTER THAN ANY OF THOSE!

<thinks>.... probably... 4? 6 got a bit thin at an early point and i lost patience with it. I have a very short attention span.

Plasticman

yeah, chrono trigger was cool. what was your fav. party?? mine was chrono, from, and magus. they ruled. i want to play chrono cross, but i can't find it anywhere online, and i'm broke.

anyone ever play terranigma?? another great game in the spirit of chrono trigger

Asuka

Chronotrigger was good, but if youre adding in other Square RPGs, then you missed out on four other BIG ones, Parasite Eve, Chrono Cross, Xenogears and Xenogears 2.

Final Fantasy 7 was by FAR the best of them. After that, Final Fantasy 5.

FF6 Rocked ass! So did FF7. I like 6 because Kefka is sooo cool and sort of reminds me of Abie (the T.A. in the writing for life class for the past two years). He was my T.A. in 2001 Ses1. He was cool. FF7 was good because it was easy to follow and had a lot of minigames and cool characters.

WHERE'S ATARI JAGUAR?!?!???DON'T YOU PEOPLE REALISE THAT WE CAN'T HAVE A POLL IN THIS FORUM WITHOUT ATARI JAGUAR???

Lil' Jesus

HEY, Asuka, That was already mentioned b4 when they cried when it happened or something i wouldnt have done it otherwise!
.......
.......
so there!

parasite eve was a rpg? sweet, two was good but in rpg form it would own, i've only played 2

Asuka

Well, I consider it to be an RPG. It was as close as you could get to a perfect 50/50 crossover between Resident Evil and Final Fantasy.

IMO Kefka was one of the worst villains of the series. He was evil and all but i found he had very little personality, and not even a particularly memorable theme tune. Exdeath rocked severely as a villain, i kept getting the impression that while he was thoroughly evil, he was taking the piss half the time (and hed want to be to have Gilgamesh as a lieutenant ) The worst villain had to be Ultimecia though, completely undeveloped, although Seifer was a good villain for FF8. But Sephiroth was WITHOUT A DOUBT the best due to a depth that simply wasnt there for ANY of the other FF villains.

Atari Jaguar added for non-final fantasy fans (grrr).

Asuka

Actually Im amazed that 8 is doing so well, while Tactics hasnt got a single vote. I know very few people have played tactics and all, but it was nonetheless a BRILLIANT game, and i would be hard-pressed to choose between it and 5 for second place to 7.

Plasticman

DO HAVE TACTICS??? I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THAT FOR AGES!! I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE, AND I WANT IT SOOO MUCH!!! I'VE GOT EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE SERIES EXCEPT THAT AND 10 (damn ps2 :mad: )

Asuka

Yeah, I have it somewhere. On import only, of course.

Green Hand Guy

Kefka had the most memorable theme tune ever. It was that weird one that went from a quiet and slightly friendly series of high notes to a big loud deep evil climax. It's one of the greatest pieces of music ever. And what do you mean no personality? His personality was that he could go from joking around to poisoning an entire village in the space of two seconds. He was cool because he was sarcastically funny and 100% evil. Too bad he was so weak at the end of the game though.

IMNSHO, Final...

Fantasy

sucks!
It's not an RPG.its a crappy "adventure" game for playstation kids who think they're smart because they can play an RPG.
and Meh.

Crash

I think SquareSoft are definitely one of the best at creating a decent plot. i mean, i've played a fair few other rpg's, but a lot of them don't hold my attention due to parts requiring an item you sold 'o so long ago and have no idea where it is (remember me and Planescape Torment Sven? )

Oh dear. A D&D loser, no doubt.

Plasticman

E-GADS YOU'RE RIGHT!!!

where'd you get tactics?? i need it to live

Mark

I generally despise turn based rpgs. They bore my buttocks off and fail to make any sense. Imagine if those rules applied in real life?

2 knackers get in a fight with each other:
Knacker 1- Stands still for a minute thinking what to do
Knacker 2- Tries to hit Knacker 1
Knacker 1- Shouts angrily 'you cant hit me, i havent bleedin gone ye!'
Knacker 2- Patiently waits as knacker 1 decides to kick him. We see the blow connect perfectly and somehow, it misses.
Only now can knacker 2 retaliate for some reason which escapes me. Thats why Ill stick to real time thank you (SOM2,BG2,NWN)

Asuka

Like i said, I got it on import from the US.
