Well, Star Ocean: The Last Hope was a bad game anyway, so she did you a favor.

My favorite would be Final Fantasy VI because of the divine story-line, music, and characters.
P.S: Kefka is the most awesome or psychotic villain ever. <3

My least fave is simply FF VIII.
NixXSkate
least favorite is XIII, got old really fast and didn't bother to finish.

favorite was VII probably because it was my 1st, and i just loved playing as cloud, such an awesome main. the settings in FFVII were so memorable. playing this was the whole reason i got into FF games.
also really enjoyed:
VIII, because squall reminded me of myself so much, and had awesome music and cinematography.
X, i played this one the most to beat the dark aeons. i think this one was the best as far as gameplay, had a blast with it.
VI, SNES RPGs have some sort of magic to them. who can forget that world map theme?

IX was nice but didn't really like it as much as the other 4 mentioned, but it seems like everyone loves this one for some reason.
Kurokami
My favorite is maybe Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles and the worst is FFXI on PS2.
bomber34
Fav. FFX (PS2) ~ Liked the story and it had voices so i didn't have to read everything. Also this round battle system is much comfortable for me, because i can think and rest easier in battles.
Worst FF: FFVII ~ The heroes were to emo and the story was kinda dull for me.
YodaSnipe
Fav in the main series: FFIV
Fav prequel/sequel: FFVII Crisis Core
Worst FF: I can't believe people have not unanimously agreed on this but FFXIV it's just... ugh...
awp
FF14 isn't technically out yet



oh hey

sorry I forgot they sent me like 50 emails apologizing for making a shitty game saying I'll play for free forever.

wouldn't be surprised if it was just free forever

I would never play it.

Even if it were free still.

Even if it were free forever.

OK maybe not NEVER, but I would at most check it out again...

Then why are you posting in this topic? :P

On Topic: My favorite is still XIII, seeing that it's one of the first I've played and actually got me interested in the storyline. Another personal favorite is III.

The one I didn't like the most was VII, because of how much people loved that specific title. And don't get me started on the fangirls... While it is a good game, I can't see why people love it so much.

everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but that is actually a really turrible reason to not like something (since it isn't an attribute of the actual product)
YodaSnipe
That is very true @awp.

Dislike the game because you don't like the game, don't dislike it because so many people rave about it. I personally loved the materia system, and it was a pretty enjoyable game overall. I am not a huge fanboy but I do enjoy it. I would argue that the prequel to VII (Crisis Core) was a MUCH better game. Goddamnit Zack WHYYYYY. If there were a guy like Zack irl I'd definitely be gay for him... js... don't judge me...

You know a lot of people hate FF XII but I actually really enjoyed it. On the other hand, although FF VI had like the greatest villain of all time, I didn't enjoy that one as much :/

they put all their resources into the first Final Fantasy. That's actually why they called it Final Fantasy. It was supposed to be their last effort before going under, but it turned out to be successful, sooooooo

Sometimes when I played with it I also hate it, because sometimes I just didn't know what to do. I just wandered around and finally find the place. :D

FFX-2 is a really terrible game with the best battle system in a final fantasy game.

I didn't realize other people were smart enough to arrive at this conclusion
Ivalset
I still can't bring myself to beat that game, even with that admission.

There are still plenty of other rpg battle systems I prefer in any case, and I have Grandia Xtreme to look to as my favorite "awful game with an awesome battle system"
awp
I saw and almost bought that game a while back. Grandia was phenomenal, and Grandia 2 was very good. Grandia 3 I wasn't sure about, and anything called Xtreme, well...
Rukario
I want a mix between FF X and X-2. Story of X and battle system of X-2. That would be win.
YodaSnipe
Agreed. As overrated as VII is, I think it'd be nice to see it done in sexy HD. I mean Crisis Core looked so awesome, I can't help thinking about an HD VII!!!
Kurokami
Hmm...FFVII in HD, I like that game but because of the terrible grafics I didn't play too much with it but in HD it will be very intresting. *.*

Making a hd version of ffviii isn't gonna be as easy as remastering something like FFX, they have to start from scratch with all the design work so I don't think its very likely
Also I finished ffx-2 and thought it lacked in every aspect except gameplay and graphics lol, it was meant to be just an expansion though so I didn't mind

1 more thing: kurokami y u steal my Lily I was having a private affair with her :< (/hopes Athena didn't hear that)

I never said it would be easy. I never said it'd take less than 10 years. I just think it'd be brilliant if they did re-do it in HD. Hell, I'd even accept it if they made it into an ARPG /love arpgs.

I just like Lily because of her name. I always use the name "Lily" for my female characters and I hated all vocaloid stuff before I found Lily and she isn't an overrated vocaloid, hard to find pics too. ._.
^ kinda off topic. ._.

Well, to do FF7 in HD isn't an easy job, but they will sell a lots of copy, because so many ppls like it and too many ppls hate it just for the graffic. ._.

Battle system is sucks in FF XII. I tried to play with it and reached maybe the first village, then die from the enemies, yes every enemy was killed me. ._. Then I gave up and put the game inside the trash can.

As harsh as it might sound, I completely agree. And also makes me wonder how do you manage to lose in one of the (to me) easiest and most intuitive FF ever.. I mean, outside Zodiark and that 1.000.000 HP thing, I don't recall a time I was forced to level up to beat a boss.

Epic fight

the thing I liked about FF12 was that I could go to a boss, get destroyed, then go right back in and win, because there was a degree of skill to the combat

You're not supposed to act the massive dinosaur in the estersand. Yes, I know.

lololol.

And what awp said.

Edit: I also really liked the story in FF12. BESIDES the fact that you're just some dude (vaan), it was really cool. Plus Balthier is a BAMF, and Fran is just plain sexy.

It always hurts myself seeing people mentoining FFX-2 as worst game. It probably had one of the best battle systems in the franchise.
*whisper*Maybe I just like the costume animations, who knows.
Oh what, I didn't say anything. But yeah, the storyline was cheesy as hell. But what do you expect from a girl only party? :D

FF7 is by far my favourite (and also the most memorable!). I was like 12 years old tho, it just completely blew my mind back then rofl

only other FF i played was FF9/FF10 and i can't say i hated them, i was whoring them pretty good. i didn't finish FF9 though (i honestly don't remember why :|).

I love FFX, I hate FFX-2... you probably understand why.

I love FFVII Crisis Core..since i only have PSP...BUT DAMN IT,I LOVE CLOUD AND ZACK...stfu man,why...are they so brilliant,why not let them continue..?Why..so epic?
Oh I like Dissidia too.Cause i can kick other character's ass for not being a PSP Console game.Hope they have on for Vita.I heard there is.
But i want FFVersusXIII. :<

I like how they sorta rewrote his story for Crisis Core.
In FF VII you don't hear much about him, but you know that he died because of 2 shinra soldiers. You know, the kind you kick ass with when you are level 7.
And in Crisis Core an entire army and several helicopters can barely take him out. And even after that he can give one hell of a heroic speech to Cloud.
I'm not saying Zack was a horrible character (probably my favourite), just seemed odd to me lol
YodaSnipe
He died after wiping out nearly two shinra armies. Two remaining shinra soldiers taking him out when he's burnt out like that sounds pretty heroic to me.
awp
I did kind of like the way they pulled that off. Despite realizing that it's futile and the scene won't end until I let myself die, I wanted to keep going until I just got too tired to carry on. When they transfer the intended impact on the character to the player, something's been done right.
YodaSnipe
T_T I can't go on without my Zacky! WHY SHINRA WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

/me needs to be held.
Dafydd
Cid is too good that he appears in many FF games
YodaSnipe
yeah but zack was too good to be put into more than FFVII series because he'd outshine every character in every series.
'cept maybe Kefka but he's a villain and turns into a God I mean come on.
Dafydd
Probably because Zack had the "deepest" story as compared to all the characters.
Kefka is just... He's a very weird villain. Probably the weirdest of them all.

For me, FFVII had the best characters in any FF game I played. (I accidentally triggered the gay scene with Barret in the Golden Saucer)

Anyway did FF Tactics got mentioned? I loved that game. I just hated the fact that the enemies levels up with you lolz. (Most tactical games do :()
YodaSnipe
Zack deserves the best.

Kefka is the greatest villain ever.

FFT is a great game.
-> Liked FFTA
-> meh FFTA2
-> Liked FFT War of the Lions
-> Unfortunately not a Final Fantasy game, but done by the same company Tactics Ogre Let us Cling Together bar none best tactics game in history.

I agree with you here especially with Tactics Ogre!!
It's just that it has too few classes as compared to FFT.

Anyway, FFT has a Dragoon, TA also has its own Dragoon lol. :D

TO ADD: Kefka in last battle is too oversized. LOL :))

I really don't get how you can like FFTA and dislike FFTA2. You're going to have to explain that one to me.

FFTA is good game, but I dont have it. ._. And I never played with the TA2. o.o Well, i like the tactic games so i want to get it. :o

Personally I don't find much appeal in villains who are just evil because the protagonist's need someone to fight against.

"Oh god I'm so evil, look at all this unwarranted chaos I'm causing. How insane I am. I'm destroying everything because I can."

For a character who is one of the most loved villains of a series of story heavy rpgs Kefka pretty much has no story except for being the first experimental Magitek Knight. Which to me seems like a detail which was just thrown in at the last moment to try and clarify him.

It's like when you're about to fight Solidus at the end of MGS2 after finding out that his intentions are good and you've been manipulated into stopping him by the bad guys. You don't have a real reason to kill him anymore, maybe because of Olga's child at most, so then out of nowhere they just throw out the "Oh yeah by the way I killed your parents" line.

It's kinda silly when people praise FFVI for it's story, which I agree is good, but Kefka who is often their favourite character has the worst story.

Even Garland has a better story than "I want power so I can destroy things."
YodaSnipe
OK I will admit Garland was just wow. Like that kinda of story in the first final fantasy srsly. The guy is friggen awesome and also one of my favourite villains.

Personally I hated the FFVI story, and I firmly stand by "Kefka > all villains".

Evil for evil's sake is pretttty much the best js
thelewa
IX is the best Final Fantasy for me, mostly because it was one of the first games I ever played. I think I finished it before I was 5, didn't know how to read so I had to talk to everyone and try EVERYTHING to make the plot advance.

Worst is definitely FF X. It made everything go wrong.
