FF6.



I'm actually replaying 8 right now. First time through I thought this game really stunk. Now I find it to be not so bad. What's bugging me most: Irvine uses the word "like" too many times. I suppose he uses the word less than the average teenager though.

I remember reading somewhere that the FF game for Gamecube would be similar to Kingdom Hearts, less like the Final Fantasy's we're familiar with


and yeah, theres a sequel called Final Fantasy X-2 coming out sooner or later. May I be the first in the thread to say that the ladies are HOTTT!

Loved 7. Awesome game.. just awesome.

I hated 8. Hated it so much I didn't even bother going past the first disc..

Never played 9.

Loved 10, and Blitzball. :D

I gotta pick up the earlier ones now.. and play 9.

final fantasy 7 is probably my favorite where i played well over the alotted 99:59 getting all the extras and obtaining all those master materias... though i spent a lot more time on chrono trigger on snes (chrono cross was also good)... ff6 was quite good and so was ff5... final 8 sucked and i also didn't get past the first disc... final 9 is a good game that not many people played... and finaly ff10 i liked it, good game, pretty good plot, and great graphics... tactics is considered one of the best... in the meantime i wanna beat xenogears (ps1) as xenosaga is coming out soon...

9 firggin rocks, as you can tell from my name :-D. or you will be able to tell once you start playing. yes 8 DID suck horribly. 7 still rocks. i do not like 10 at all. the graphics were awesome but the storyline and blitzball sucked.

Its great. I dont regret the hundreds of hours I spent playing (ff7-ff10). However, I have nightmares of chocobo racing sometimes.

FF2 (FF4 in jap) > FF3 (FF6 jap) > FF7 > FF8 > .....

Final Fantasy the movie sucked @#*@ because it was too future oriented. Also I got awnry because they didn't do the FF theme!

FF1 was the best it had no storyline, but was still a blast to play. It was probably one of the first games that I played for hours on end. Second I would have to say is FF7, good story, characters, gameplay, and sidequests. I loved the FF7 chocobo racing I wish they included that in every FF. Third I would have to say is FF10 it had a story that I liked and I also liked the battle system. FF10 also had lulu... :) but I did not like blitzball I found it boring and tedious. Oh and for ff10 who ever designed that chocobo race with the chocobo trainer needs to DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i've played EVERY SINGLE final fantasy, gameboy, mystic quest, japan/english u name it i've played at least some part of it....
except for final fantasy 9 :eek:
but i loved every single one...
my favorite would be between 5 and 6, just because of the new systems they introduced and how they captivated people...for weeks...
4 was great...i mean you had 3 worlds!!! worked great...the dancing calbrenas still creep me out
7 was awesome...definately the best rpg of the polygon era...
8 wasn't up to SQUARESOFT standards...but it would still crush a whole lot of other RPGs...
i think everyone would have loved it (or liked it more) if it wasn't called "final fantasy 8" and had another title...just not worthy of the Final Fantasy name, i guess...
10 is great, i think...much more linear path and no real "freedom" was kinda awkward, but it does have a tight rope to walk story-wise....graphics blow me away everytime too.

4,5,6,7 stood out the most to me because it made you want to keep playing, keep going...

sidegames/quests::
6- battle arena - you can bet your priceless atma weapon, earn an elixer!!! (or something like that)
7- chocobo breeding, all of gold saucer - omg those chocobos pissed me off...but so worth it when you see that shiny gold one! and gold saucer!!! like an arcade!!!
8- cards - great strategy, even better pictures on the cards
10 - blitzball - too easy, not interactive, too long, but sometimes i just play blitzball for about an hour and save and quit...

the gold saucer was THE best sidequest i would have to say. like you said blitzball wasnt interactive enough. I definitly agree on that part. yea ff8 beats ALOt of other RPGs but it was a bad one in the series.I also hear that the older ones (below ff 7) were really good. I think i might have to give those ones a whirl sometime.

FYI, Squaresoft is looking at making sequels for FF7 and FFX. The plans may already be in the works, I can't wait.

And I liked FF8 too, great story. I found it to be more enjoyable than FF9 althugh I enjoyed FF9 as well, just not as much as FF8.
