FF7 is amazing, but for some reason I'm not a huge fan of the rest. FF8 was annoying with the having to use "Draw" constantly. I've read many walkthroughs even stating that you want to have 100 of each magic. That's at least using the Draw command 30-40 times. Not my cup of tea. FF9 is a lot like FF7 so I like it other than not being able to control limit breaks. F10 was a huge disappointment as the game actually lacks gameplay and is entirely cinematics and eyecandy.

[*Girthy*]

No, they are hundres of thousands of FF fanboys.

Actually i found FFX to be kinda fun, but then again it was the first one i played(kinda) i liked 7 but 8 i have to say stunk. and after nobuo left from square after it fused with enix and they made FF X-2 i was really dissapointed

[demolished]

nobuo ... was only a musician. o__O he didnt actually "left". he was on a "break". i think.

[*Girthy*]

No, he did leave, when Hironobu Sakaguchi left square, he took Nobuo with him.

[annalucky]

I'm a big fan of FF7. :D FFX was okay, I guess.


I love Kingdom Hearts though. Love it.

[Spirited Away]

Another fan of FFVII... the movie that is. I'm not into games, though the movie made a good impression on me.

[original_copy]

FF7:AC was pure eye candy.

[F_L_I_P]

Final Fantasy is more CGI than anime but they do have anime of it soI guess it still anime. My favorites are FF7 (AC was the best), 8, 10 and for some odd reason 9.

[Yentot]

They actually have a FF anime. FF Unlimited or something..it ain't that good anyways.

I've been a square-enix geek since I was 7 -_-

My first FF was FF7. Afterwards I started to play the ones my brother played when he was younger. Years passed by I've played most of the FF games:

Final Fantasy 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, X, X-2, and 11. I've played Crystal Chronicles at a friend's didn't like that much... -_- Tactics was the only one I haven't played D:


My least favorite would be 9. I didn't bother to finish it. It bored me to death D:

My #1 would be FF7. Nothing can beat that sh*t, foo D:

[Yentot]

^I heard tactics and tactics advanced was the sh*t D:

[Simba]

I love Final Fantasy and everything. The people behind the plot are amazing.
The games are amazing, though, the games are getting kind of boring for me. I think it's just because they're getting slow for me and they take a long time to beat.

But I still gotta love Final Fantasy itself. Oh yeah, and Final Fantasy VII(7) has got to be the best.

[rainnydaiis]

Lolz hmmm judging we're mostly talking about the game this should go to technology but why send such a good topic over...

So to make it seem like a anime thread I'll address this first with the animes ide which is actually Final Fantasy Unlimited. If you guys don't know about it... I suggest you watch the first few episodes because after a while it starts becoming boring a repeatitive...

Also addressing the game saga. I have all of them and played all of them and my favorite has to be FFIV and FFVII also FFX-2 ( MAINLY BECAUSE OF YUNA PAIN AND RIKKU ) ^^

[Just_Dream]

I don't playnthe games but.. I thought FF8 was pretty cool. <333 Rinoa. :D

Squall is hot.

[NoSex]

I think most of the Final Fantasy games are rather lame. Boring, unoriginal, overplayed, underdeveloped, and way over-hyped. I have a specific hatred for FFVII. I believe it marks the downfall of RPGs in the video game industry. Just, never appealed to me. The gameplay was sub-par, and the game, to me, seemed like just a huge gimmick.

The only Final Fantasy that I truly love would be Final Fantasy Tactics. Wonderful game. Amazing game play. I could, and have, spent days and days playing it. Great stuff. To me, the only Final Fantasy worth more than a glance. God, Final Fantasy sucks.

[NoSex]

Hi, my name is Robbi, I would like to introduce myself to you as your exact opposite.

So, you honestly believe that FFVII was the mark of a golden age for RPGs in the industry? What about that violent and aggressive attitude towards replacing quality game mechanics with more impressive graphic rendering? Ah, screw this. It isn't worth it. Everyone loves this trash. I'm more of an Enix guy anyways.

Hi, Robbi. I love you anyways. Despite your sheepish love for bad video games.

[*Girthy*]

I found both Tactics and FF7 to be extremely great. Yeah, the new graphics were kick ass. I personally both the story and gameplay to be enjoyable.

[SarahxJoy]

The only Final Fantasy games I've ever played and even own are FF7, FFX, and FFX-2 I like those ones, obviously. And FFCC was all right.

[*nightmare4taki*]

Tactics was crap IMO... Haven't played it since I was 6 though, maybe that's why I didn't understand it.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance was fun to me.


Im a Fan of FFVI (currently playing), FFVII, FFVIII, FX, and Advent Children
I also enjoy playing the songs on the piano(terrible yo), and listening to the piano collections. FF music owns all except Hip Hop (directed at Yen, who does not realize my full blackness).

And as far as FFVI its pretty fun, so many different characters to choose from, plus I think its almost as good as FFVII. However IMO, Square's best game was Chrono Trigger and not a FF game.

I still need to play FFIX. I played a demo of FFXII , that sucked to me, I'll pass on that one. I can't wait for FFXIII though.

[xCrys]

You definatley arent the only one who loves FF.

VII is the one that got me addicted to the series... Since then, I now own: 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10-2...

I refuse to get 11.. Can't wait for 12 though ^^;

My favorite has to be 7... The whole story line is amazing. && I just love Cloud, haha.



^_^;

(KH is amazing <3 I own both games, teheheh...)

[rAwritsgWeg]

Almost everyone is good. And for their own thing
FF1-First 1
FF2-Diff. classes
FF3-Story and graphics, music too
FF6-Same As 3
FF7-Must I Say it
FF8-Beautiful graphics(for its time, great music, and great story)
FF9-Brought back all of the old and added all new too
FFX-The story and intro to voice actors
FFX2-Hmm i guess the diff classes that are available
FFXI-Online play?!
A bunch of games, and time consuming at that but hell ya they are good lol
im soo nerdy!!!

[F_L_I_P]

TACTICS PAWNED! It allowed me to use my strategic skills rather than the stand in front of the monster and get your ass kicked.

[talcumpowder]

I was so tempted to buy Tactics. They were waving a GIANT CARROT in my face. -loves tactic games- But I soon realized it's not really a tactics game. Too much make-your-own-character. -just likes the tactics, not the storyline- But Fire Emblem was good.
Mwaha... As soon as I saw the title I go:
"... The Spirits Within! Wait. Remember you're the only one who likes that movie."
But yeah. I saw, like, one episode of Unlimited. It was okay... -shrug-

[rainnydaiis]

Acid since you seem to hate the final fantasy saga... I'm asking which rpg you find to be best? Dragon quest series? Xenosaga? or more of the classics like chorono trigger and cross?

[John Fu]

Hi, Robbi. I love you anyways. Despite your sheepish love for bad video games.

Nathaniel Charles Sexton, just because you think it sucks doesn't mean everyone agrees with you. You're like the only one in the world (so far) who hates the Final Fantasy Saga D:

[F_L_I_P]

^nooo im sure there are more maybe just in cb

[lanbexx]

agreed. i dunno whats so great about FF. good cg... and thats about it. nothing new. everything is constantly recycled.

[John Fu]

^Even though it's always the same, the plot is always enchanting and the gameplay is awesome. I don't know why but I never get tired of fighting bosses or normal enemies. The strategy really works XD

[F_L_I_P]

Really? i mean you just stand there, wait, and then pick a move, the it cycles again until you get a limit break(which are cool btw) Im more of a Kingdom Hearts or Megaman legends type of RPG. Dont get me wrong i love FF im just not crazy over it.

[John Fu]

^Kingdom Hearts is good but sometimes the damage is too exact D:. I'm more of a Star Ocean person anyways XD

[F_L_I_P]

lol yeah but its more realistic and not turned base. If you are about to fight something you don't line up in 3 or 4 and stand in a distance while taking turns attacking each other.

Cloud: who's turn is it?
Sephiroth : Yours. I just hit you with a super nova.
Cloud: oh yeah that hurt.

I hear that FF12 and the remade FF7 ditched the whole turn base thing which will probably more of my suit.

>.< Its really just our opinions either way you need strategy to play both games with FF to know what to use and how to use wisely and KH with knowing what moves to do, Observing attack patterns of the enemy and how to dodge while being attacked.

[*Blow_Don't_SUCK*]

^wow Robbi you're late. They've been making trailers for the FF7 demo in PS3 since last summer.

Even though button-mashing is more realistic, Phil, I like rpg's and strategy better. They give you numbers of how much damage you take and it's always different

[angel-roh]

i thought there was a topic about this f3 (maplestory emotion face)


anyways... yeah im a biggest fan of final fantasy. i completed ff7 to ffx!! im still playing ffx-2 -_-;;;; i used to have a lot of collection of final fantasy stuff but when we moved, i went to my dad's and my mom like yard sale my stuff T_TT. so it's all gone now.

*stalking sammy in anime forum =O*

[F_L_I_P]

lol yeah they decided to make it into a remake than just a PS3 demo.

[shoumar]

I'm Final Fantasy Lover too! Check out some of my graphic of Clould and the Group. I'll do some more on the rest of the crew. I need inspiration.

[rainnydaiis]

Bleh susan you stalker... Don't follow me around the anime forum!! you do enough of that on maplestory HAHA ^^

Anywhooz back to the thing about the remake off FF7... it hasen't been released yet but in the making. From what I know they won't be adding anything new except an upgrade on the graphics to the graphics of AC...

Somepeople hate the battle sequence of the previous FF's but if you guys watch the trailer for FFXIII they are breaking the previous battle sequences and changing it up a bit. Basically advancing from the FFX-2 theory on where its not one persons turn. But basically 2 can go at once.

And the theory on the KH2 and the button mashing I believe its true but I don't button mash actually because if you put pauses and new buttons such as the square into a combo it changes... Probably most of you that played KH1 or KH2 didn't know about this.... -___-;;

[*Girthy*]

They remade? Can someone please confirm this with a link?

[F_L_I_P]

Nvm >.< there is no remake just a technical demo for the Ps3. My mistake ^_^; SORRY! D: I seriously thought they were remaking it :someone else told me this btw:

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/614/614692p1.html

-Phil-

[rainnydaiis]

Uhhh it wasen't really announced but there was a interview with nomura where he announced they were working on a special project dealing with FFVII if i can find it i'll post it up here

[*nightmare4taki*]

Nvm >.< there is no remake just a technical demo for the Ps3. My mistake ^_^; SORRY! D: I seriously thought they were remaking it :someone else told me this btw:

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/614/614692p1.html

-Phil-

Yeah, because this is what I found.
http://www.bit-tech.net/news/2006/05/24/Sq..._remake_on_PS3/
Makes me sad.

[rainnydaiis]

Well we never know... they might end up doing it if their FFXII and FFXIII go down into the dumps... because if it does they'll need something very crazy to bring them out which would be a remake of FFVII

[DrEaMgUy2K1]

advent children was the sh*t yo! (meaning i liked it alot to all you propper people :P)

[NoSex]

Acid since you seem to hate the final fantasy saga... I'm asking which rpg you find to be best? Dragon quest series? Xenosaga? or more of the classics like chorono trigger and cross?

My favorite game of all time is Star Ocean: The 2nd Story for the PSX.

Nathaniel Charles Sexton, just because you think it sucks doesn't mean everyone agrees with you. You're like the only one in the world (so far) who hates the Final Fantasy Saga D:

Pffffffffft. Trust me, I never expected anyone to agree with me.

[Azndilleo182]

Advent children rocked. ive beaten FF1 but lost 2(which got a little hard in some scenarios)

[Cloud Strife]

Would anyone deny the fact that the video game music found in Final Fantasy is far superior than any other video game music?

[LiloOpyAsIaNxD]

OMFG FFX AND X2 IS THE BEST ^^

[*Blow_Don't_SUCK*]

Would anyone deny the fact that the video game music found in Final Fantasy is far superior than any other video game music?

The music had such a nice effect on me. Every song Umetsu-sama composed fit every scene, place, situation going on and it was just wonderful. It inspired me to become a composer myself!

[F_L_I_P]

^rofl Yen thats cute :3

-Phil-

[rainnydaiis]

Ok star ocean 2 I'll say it was awesome... But I'm guessing my taste is a bit different. i don't blame anyone if they hate on FF because everyone has different tastes in games ^^.

[*Blow_Don't_SUCK*]

^rofl Yen thats cute :3

-Phil-

I really do! You're cute too :D

X2 was crap. =$

X-2 was worse than crap..it was a shit load of bull crap, crappier than the shit load of bull crap itself

Ok star ocean 2 I'll say it was awesome... But I'm guessing my taste is a bit different. i don't blame anyone if they hate on FF because everyone has different tastes in games ^^.

I agree..but still!

[NoSex]

Would anyone deny the fact that the video game music found in Final Fantasy is far superior than any other video game music?

I prefer nearly any track in Third Strike over any track in any Final Fantasy game I'm familiar with aside from Tactics. But, I will admit that Nobuo Uematsu is a fine composer and artist. Quite the professional.

[rainnydaiis]

Nobuo won't be making anymore songs for the FF series but i'm thankful i have all his songs...

And yen you talking crap about FFX-2 saddens me because i enjoyed how they tried to change the battle sequence with the old retro with the turns but with instant attacking.... But like I said everyone has different tastes ^^

[*Blow_Don't_SUCK*]

^forgive me

[rainnydaiis]

Its fine don't worry yen <333

[F_L_I_P]

Would anyone deny the fact that the video game music found in Final Fantasy is far superior than any other video game music?

Not really. Sure Uematsu is a great composer but im sure there are better music found in other video games.

[*RiC3xBoy*]

He went with Hironobu Sakaguchi. Perhaps he wasn't getting paid enough.

[*Blow_Don't_SUCK*]

I heard he retired O_O

[rainnydaiis]

He retired.. he didn't go anywhere... his life was into FF but i guess he quit composing.... -__-;;

[AncientWhisper]

From the voice acting and the battle system, I believe FFXII would be a big hit! [in the North Americas] :D And I believe Nobuo composed Battle at the Bridge or something like that in FFXII, Chocobo theme, Prelude, and Prologue. I'm not sure about Prelude, but I listened to the soundtrack, and was glad that Nobuo composed the chocobo music for FFXII. Can't stand the one in FFX-2.

[*RiC3xBoy*]

He retired? Anyone have a link to prove it? Last I hear, he was working with Mist Walker now.

[talcumpowder]

The Taiko Dum Master opening can kick the FF soundtrack's butt anytime. XD No really. Not that it's not good, because I've heard it. Never played the game, but I've heard about 1/5th of all the soundtracks. I have waaaaay too many FF-obsessed friends.
That and I like pretty music. Helps me focus. I'm like a manga-ka with her precious background music.

[*Zamunda*]

I heard Nobuo did just the main theme to Final Fantasy XII

I played the demo fo Final Fantasy XII, I'll probably get cuz its final fantasy but I hate the battle system.

[xCrys]

Nobuo really only quit for X-2, I heard he'll most likely be in 12, and by the sounds of it, 13... Have any of you seen the trailer for 13?! *gasps* FF needs to let me test their games before they release them on the ps3... theres no way i could afford a ps3.. anyone got some spare change for a po'folk?

http://spikedhumor.com/articles/27717/E3_F...ntasy_XIII.html

Does that not sound like Nobuo to anyone? I'm almost sure of it... Though I may have to ask meh bee-eff, since Nobby is like his fav composer... I sware he spends more time learning his work than talking to me.. Okay, he USED to spend more time... etc =P Anyone agree on that sounding Nobuo-ish?

[rainnydaiis]

Hmm thanks for the link ^^... Thats pretty interesting only quit for X-2? but I wonder why...

[*Blow_Don't_SUCK*]

I am a die-hard Nobo fan. That does not sound like his work...

[rainnydaiis]

Really it doesn't? If I remenber clearly nobo made a lot of changes in his style from FFVII to FFX... it changed a lot

[flc]

I looooooooove Final Fantasy.

I think Final Fantasy X is my favorite, just because it was my first, but Pokemon Red was my first RPG.

My favorite female character would be..Quistis or Lulu, & my favorite male character is Squall. <3

[*Blow_Don't_SUCK*]

Really it doesn't? If I remenber clearly nobo made a lot of changes in his style from FFVII to FFX... it changed a lot

nope. I played his songs on the piano and violin for 3 years from FF6-FFx-2. I would know if its his work or not. This sounds like a square-enix game alright but it sounds like Star Ocean crossing some other game like Shinobi.

[xmy_sweet_reveng...]

So everyone likes Nobo.... well me and Crys dicided if your such a die hard "nobo" fan then your in the wrong forum. besides that song sounds exactly like Nobuo. im playing all his songs on piano atm, and im studdying his work for an A2 peice. and i know exatly how he sounds =p. i want you all to listen to advent children and hear the whole 20th century effect then tell me that doesnt sound like nobuo. 1 more thing. nobuo doesnt have a certain style. he does romantic and 20th centuary and what ever else fits in with the video game.

--edit

http://www.squaresound.com/

see, uematsu.

[xCrys]

Yep. Thats what I said when I was on the phone, but I was more sarcastic. Heres what I said

"If youre a Die hard 'Nobo' fan, youre in the wrong forum, we're talking about Nobuo"

:) Andd ×__Fcuk. , sorry I don't know your name.. You're right, his music does change, from FF1 all the way till now, it's changed a lot, due to the fact his original music was midi format ;)

BTW: Blow_Don't_SUCK .... "FF6-FFx-2." He didn't do X-2....

http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/review/R64586.html

[*Blow_Don't_SUCK*]

ah well I make mistakes

[*RiC3xBoy*]

I personally liked X-2. Maybe I got it for free and it seemed like it was a fresher than the usual stuff.

[NinjaxMageLayout...]

I liked all the final fantasy games.But 8 was just annoying..But out of all i really liked FFX

[moninja]

I LOVE Final Fantasy. :D

I can play it for hours, and not be bored about it. =)

[angel-roh]

I liked all the final fantasy games.But 8 was just annoying..But out of all i really liked FFX

Final Fantasy 8 was annoying? =O how was it annoying o_o

you mean the final bosses? well yeah they were pretty darn hard. o_o and the stupid omega boss f3 i have to say final fantay 8 was the hardest final battle.

.
.
.
i think

final fantasy 7? no. it wasnt hard, i beat the final boss like 3 times xD
final fantasy 9? hm... no it wasnt hard. =O
final fantasy 10? uhh... hm. pretty scary battle, but i handled it out well =P beat the boss twice for fun lol.

final fantasy 8 was the hardest. anyone agrees? or is it just me o_o

*random: i had a nightmare so i cant sleep =(*

[rainnydaiis]

^ haha susan... FF8 boss was ok... wasen't the hardest but it was funny.

FF9 bosses were annoying on how you have to do like 5 consecutive battles...
FFX was pretty easy if you have the right characters ^^

i think FF4 boss was pretty hard...

[xCrys]

I still haven't beat 8... >.> Lame, I know. I've leveled squallie up to 100, and I'm working on the rest of the party... I've beat 7,9, 10-2... my FFV disk freezes, can't even try that. & I'm working on 6... I'll get back to 8 one day... I should finish 10, but MIKEE had to go to the final bosses and leave me theree, how rude. I wasn't leveled up enough! *sniff*

Hm.. I need more ff games.. like... 13. =x

It's fluffymecia that gets me on 8! ... Inside joke... You know.. Griever & Ultimecia... If you name it Fluffy.... erm, nvm :]

[*RiC3xBoy*]

All the FFs were easy. The only hard one was the first FF. Also, FYI, the final boss is usually not the hardest. The optional ones are hard.

[xmy_sweet_reveng...]

The hardest boss has to be the 1st battle on ff9... it really is hard =(. Okay so its not, the hardest acual boss fight has to be the 4 versions of ultimecia and one of grivier, omega weapon on 10 isnt a push over although i only faught him once, ozama is, emerald and ruby dive me insane and omega on 8 isnt half bad lol. basicly the hardest boss id have to say would be ruby, because hes such a pain in the ass!

[xXYouMeBedNowXx]

You have to see the FFXIII Trailer on HD:
http://www.gametrailers.com/gamepage.php?fs=1&id=2649

[phillydam]

i liked ff tactics advanced, it was just addictive and fun at the same time

[xCrys]

Dear Jon:

Will you sponsor me... >.> I wanna ps3!! :'( Wah. You made me want that game even more... darn HD...

--------
Anyone wanna lend a po'folk some cash to get a PS3 and ... FF13.. *lust*

[broken inside]

Advent children is god =]

[ichigofan]

<3 Final Fantasy x & x-2, the story line was awesome and the characters and setting were amazing. The soundtrack is HOT! The movies are OK but i prefer the Games

[MrStrife]

FF7 is amazing, but for some reason I'm not a huge fan of the rest. FF8 was annoying with the having to use "Draw" constantly. I've read many walkthroughs even stating that you want to have 100 of each magic. That's at least using the Draw command 30-40 times. Not my cup of tea. FF9 is a lot like FF7 so I like it other than not being able to control limit breaks. F10 was a huge disappointment as the game actually lacks gameplay and is entirely cinematics and eyecandy.

1 never had a chance or the funds to buy myself a ps2 so 1 only have played up to 9. 1 absolutely love number 7. Classic in my eyes but it always gets stolen/lost. gameplay and storyline impeccable. 8 disappointed as a followup for 7 because of draw & too much relying on GF. 9 was fun tho it was an innocent version of 7 and 1 liked the characters a lot.

p.s. 1m looking to create a myspace layout featuring cloud and maybe with aries. anybody think they can help me?
