Final Fantasy

i used to like it, but kinda went away from it. the best one i've played was the one with Squall and Rinoa, which ever one that is lol
 
I'm a big FF fan, I've played them all, 6 being my favorite.

Playing 13 at the moment, and I quite like it, its very linear but the amount of hate the game is getting seems a bit harsh. Love the battle system its fast and keeps you on your toes. Although if you screw up it can be pretty unforgiving. Have to say though I can't stand Hope, and Snow going on about protecting everyone and everything is a little irritating,I like Sazh's character though, probably my favorite. Still a big improvement over 12 though.
 
Well it was the last one before square started becoming obsessed with FMV's in there games, Its got arguably some of the best characters in the series, and Kefka is the best villain in Final Fantasy.

Alot of people like to think FF7 is the best in the series but i think its the nostalgia hazing there opinions, since it was the first FF most people played, was the first one i played anyway. But it's not aged well at all, which is the case for alot of early 3D games. The story wasn't the greatest in comparison to other FF games. And while people like to go on about Sephiroth being the greatest video game villain ever, hes not. The whole walking away through the flames thing was cool, but he was a bit emo trying to bring his mummy back to life. Although the materia system along with the limit breaks and summons gave it one of the best battle systems.
 
People think I'm crazy, but I really enjoyed 9. I liked that battle system. I didn't like 8. I didn't like having to draw magic and such
 
9 was actually a really good game, Some of the characters got annoying though like Vivi. My biggest gripe with 9 was the limit breaks, it happened whenever the gauge filled up which the majority of the time was near the end of a pointless battle with weak monsters, wasting it since it took forever to fill up.

8 was alright but only after I figured out how to properly use the junction system, and that you didn't need to level
 
I am just glad 13 came out and they went back to a better battle system. 12's made me so angry. If I wanted to worry about aggro, I would go play WoW
 
I love FF. I continue to play XI and can't wait until XIV comes out. I haven't picked up XIII yet nor have I hooked up my PS3... I've got a lot to catch up on!

You sure do. XIII is amzing. I just went yesterday and preodered XIV. I cant wait to play it
 
Played all the FF games between 6 and X-2. I used to love them when I was younger but I've sort of outgrown them nowadays. I think the turning point came when I got so utterly addicted to the Blitzball minigame in FFX that I actually stopped playing Pro Evo Soccer to play it. Then again my Pro Evo team was shit, whereas my Besaid Aurochs were unbeaten for six seasons or something mental like that xD

EDIT: I'm still debating wether or not to give XIII a go; I'm hearing mixed reviews at the moment, lots of people saying it takes an age to really get into it (which is something I hate about Final Fantasy games) but that it's great fun once you do.
 
If you can't initially get into the story of XIII, it is going to be a long time until you actually start giving a damn, if you end up doing so at all. That being said, I'm enjoying the game a lot, and am currently just dicking around in Chapter 11, enjoying my newly found freedom from the linearity of the prior chapters. Definately a solid game, regardless of what the naysayers will tell ya.

Also, I've played and finished every Final Fantasy except 2, 3, and 11, and I agree that 6 is still probably one of my favorites.
 
Final Fantasy XIII presents everything I've come to love about getting a new FF game. A fresh new story, interesting characters, beautiful graphics, and killer battle system.

I don't know how many of you are aware of this, but there are two development teams working the FF franchise. One group primarily responsible for FF tactics, and one for games like FFVII and FFX, as well as X-2 obviously. That's the reason for the severe disparity between X and XII and then again with XIII. 13 and 10 were done by one group while XII was a totally different company so to speak.

Personally I'm enjoying 10 and 13 much better than 12, which was amazing, but the story kinda sucked, and the game play just didn't make up for that in my opinion. That's not why I love final fantasy games, I love good characters and a good story.
 
FFXII's story takes far too much crap than it deserves. I give the game kudos for trying to make the plot more event-driven as opposed to the past iterations focussing on characters. Admittedly they dropped the ball on this, but for a first attempt, it could have been much worse. If XII had tried to balance plot and character driven story, it would have been much better than it was. I really didn't give a damn about Vayne, I mean hell, I cared more about Dr. Cid and Reddas than I did any protagonist of the game.
 
Although I've never beaten an FF game I've been playing them ever since I got the first one for the Gameboy when I was 12. I've kinda collected them ever since. Just the numbered ones, I don't care at all about the spin offs or that X2 game that came out like 6 years ago. The new one is fun, but I'm still within the first half, so other than the visuals, it's got no feelings of grandeur, and doesn't give any time at all to sit back and look at the world itself. It's just nothing but the situation...kill enemy move forward, kill enemy move forward. The skill tree for every character is about as linear as the game too. I hope it gets better than this.

My favorite one was 6. And you know, I've been on a few forums about this, and although everyone seems to say 7 is most popular, people have been saying 6 more on these forums as their all-time favorite. The one that was released as #3 for the super Nintendo in the US, with the espers and the gadget loving king that lives in the buried castle, his brother that knows the martial arts and whose rival in the mountains was so damn hard to beat till you got those bloody button combos right. The story was involving, introduced plenty of really cool characters, and had more of an epic feel than any other in the entire series I think.

I agree with you,XII's story is a love/hate thing I liked it. but its the only game where I really didn't care for any of the characters.My problem with the game was they took the fun out of boss battles by making it so that you could take down a boss purely by spamming Quickenings which I wasn't a fan of, and the summons just seemed pointless, since they weren't practical to use. It wasn't a bad game, just it had the potential to be better than it was.
 
I agree, the summons served no use in XII other than an extra bossfight. I really don't think I ever summoned them with an exception for that story point where I had to summon Belias to progress. Come to think of it, XII is the only game I never collected all the summons in... Zodiark was a rat bastard, and I flat out refused to navigate the Great Crystal again just to find Ultima.
 
Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed XII. It was a beautiful game and I definitely appreciated the free-roaming aspects of the game. I did like the characters (Balthier especially), and I did play it through to the end.

Its just that the story seemed to heavily rely upon Ashe, while she was a completely lack-luster character.

My biggest beef was that after playing all those grueling hours collecting items and summon monsters, you get to the end of the game and realize that the supposed reason for everything doesn't even make sense. Its like they just invented a problem for you to solve, and not even a very good one. That's why I like a good story, it gives you a reason to find out what's next.
 
I love the FF series as a whole. FF8 was my favourite. I'm currently playing FF13 at the moment, and am still waiting for the world to open up a bit. I prefer games with an entire world to explore when it comes to FF. Until you got out of Midgar in 7 Everything was linear too.
An ultimate FF would have an expansive world.. FF13's style of story, and FF7's materia and limit break system. With maybe 12's ability to evade battles if you chose to. Maybe that one will be next eh?
 
I've never finished an FF game (because i'm lazy and lack dedication,lol) but I still love them. I played 7,8,9,10,12 and I'm currently playing 13. I'm only on chapter 3 at the moment but I'm enjoying it so far.
