Gamers....if you were ever into it, what is your favorite Final Fantasy game?

[TK421]

I have a tie....it's either six or seven...eight was pretty good, just a weird system. I hated ten with a passion ( the characters were just annoying )

[TK421]

1. I actually have a bet going on here amongst my roommates....self-kick

any takers?

[sakabatou]

2. FFX or X-2

[TK421]

3. I'm sorry...now I'm confused after talking to my roommates, but 2 was

the one with Golbez as the villain? Is that the one? If so, that was, in my opinion the hardest but most rewarding of all of them

edited to add: was 4 in the states? I get confused with this...sorry!

[sakabatou]

4. No, that was FFIV

Here's FFX: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_X

and X-2: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_X-2


X-2 is the sequel to FFX.

[TK421]

5. Ugghh....I thought FF4 was the states version of 2 ( NES many years ago )

did I fuck things up big time, or what? Which Final Fantasy was the one with Golbez and Zeromus as the final boss?

[sakabatou]

6. FFIV, I think.

[TK421]

14. Okay...so that was the Final Fantasy 4 in the states then

I thought I was losing my mind there

[TK421]

12. Yeah....that's the one I hated...FFX I couldn't stand the characters in it

I also hated the sphere progression system....it seemed very limited in what it offered, too

[sakabatou]

24. Depended on what you used

Some players were able to beat the game with lower level characters using clear spheres.

[TK421]

26. delete n/t

[TK421]

28. When it got to the ball game ( I forget what it was called ) I lost patience

why they had to throw that stupid-ass game in there for progression is just beyond me...and I found it extremely annoying to boot

[sakabatou]

32. I only watched

[BulletproofLandshark]

40. It was called Blitzball

Possibly the worst minigame in the FF series.

[TK421]

41. THAT was it!!!! Hated that fucking thing!!

[PVnRT]

35. The sphere map ruined it for me

I could not figure out how to get my characters strong enough; by about the halfway point, monsters were beating the living shit out of my group, and I gave up.

[TK421]

36. Yup! I had that problem as well

[PVnRT]

7. I voted Dragon Warrior, just because I was more into it

Dragon Warrior III was about the pinnacle of fantasy computer RPGs for me.

[TK421]

8. I don't know if you're male or female but I love you...................

Dragon Warrior 3 was, by far my favorite RPG of all time. I even have a copy of it on my computer ( I downloaded an NES emulator and the game for it ) The only Dragon Warrior where you could multi-class and get the same abilities for your character as you progressed. An awesome game indeed...I miss my old 8-bit system for that game alone ( the thing I downloaded is very slow )

edited to add: Dragon Warrior was the first RPG I ever played, and it sucked me into the world of other RPGs.....still my all time favorite in this genre

[blogslut]

15. I played that too!

I got it and Final Fantasy because I had finished Legend of Zelda and was seriously jonesing for similar RPGs. Good times.

[TK421]

18. My favorite Zelda game was for the Super NES...A Link to the past...

still my favorite Zelda game of all time....

[blogslut]

20. Mine was Ocarina of Time

That was, to me, the perfect game. I love all the Zeldas I've played but that one was special.

I have yet to buy a Wii simply because the only reason I buy a new console is to play a new Zelda and this time around, the expense is just too much.

[TK421]

21. N64 right? My nephew had that console....I never did get to buy it

[blogslut]

27. I bought it used

Still have it. I may crank it up someday. The bookstore around the corner sells Old School NES consoles for peanuts but frankly, blowing into game cartridges to get them to work got kind of old. :)

[TK421]

30. HAHA!!!! I hear that!! This old console here ( a generic 8-bit ) is still kicking

I would kill to get a Super Nintendo...I know where I could get one. I got my eyes on a PS2 for dirt cheap ( mine just literally DIED on me ) crapped out....disc read error on everything I put in it and have self-cleaned it numerous times. Consoles really don't last forever...certain component just give way to wear-and-tear....this is what happened with me

[PVnRT]

34. Mine too

Damn near perfect game.

[TK421]

38. Ganon was pretty fucking scary at the end there

I remember my nephew playing this ( it was his system )

[PVnRT]

39. It was the story that drew me in, much like Dragon Warrior III

Ganon wasn't the boss that I hated the most, that honor belongs to that fucking dragon in the mountain level.

[TK421]

42. Baramos!!!! Wasn't that his name?

[WildEyedLiberal]

9. Is it even a contest? Seven was amazing

[TK421]

10. Out of all the Final Fantasies no....not a contest, seven is still my favorite

It's what actually drove me to buy a PS1....I still remember that day...

I was working at Sears ( then, the department was called "Funtronics" ) It sold all the latest game systems ( They still had Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo lines going ) The Sega Saturn seemed to be the biggest up-and-comer to the Playstation, which many people still were unsure of....man am I glad I took a gamble and blew a weeks paycheck on the Playstation and FF7 ( with the game guide...I got a discounted purchase ). I didn't leave my room for at least three weeks.....lots to tell about that!

edited to add:my second favorite ( grudgingly ) would be Final Fantasy 6 ( 3 in Japan if I'm not mistaken ) Kefka is probably my favorite villain next to Sephiroth....and the ending, in my opinion was worth it...if not a tad cheesy...

[WildEyedLiberal]

16. I still haven't finished FF7 because it's so epic long and I didn't have my own copy forever

But one of these days...

It really hooked me.

[TK421]

17. It really IS worth finishing.....get to it, when you have the time

This game encompassed so much that is wrong with this world today ( take the Shinra Inc. for example ) the perfect evil empire and a small, rag-tag bunch of misfits who stood up against it. Years after, I never did see the political innuendos that were thrown in there, now they make sense. Small example, but the message was still there....FF7 did for gamers what Pitfall did for Atari...revolutionize a gaming system ( was that a poor example? ) Eh....thinking about it now, I really don't think so.

[TK421]

19. Wasn't it 3 CDs long?

I think it was, but damn worth every minute you put into it!!!

[WildEyedLiberal]

44. 3 or 4

I fully intend to finish it someday... it was SO great. College got in the way back when I was halfway though the campaign and I never resumed. It's definitely on my to-do list.

[blogslut]

11. NES, Baby!

I lost a lot of sleep and precious hours over that one.

[TK421]

13. Original 8-bit console? Yeah....I have my favorites

I just ordered the original Metroid...waiting for that one to arrive. My brother had bought me a mock NES console that plays the old games...his burnt out on him, thankfully mine still works.

This console is what gaming is all about IMHO

[ZombieHorde]

22. Tactics. One of the reasons I purchased a PSP was FF: Tactics.

[TK421]

23. Another title I haven't played, but maybe I'll check it out

I'll just add that to my list ( I'm making a list before I expire )

[TK421]

25. Seems I left out Final Fantasy 5 ( which I thought sucked ass ) and 9

which I couldn't get into...sorry!

[deucemagnet]

29. FFIX.

I've only played FFVIII and FFIX, but of the two, I definitely enjoyed IX more. VIII just got too tedious with "draw magic" and the long summoning animations.

[TK421]

31. I couldn't get into 9....maybe I'll give it another shot.

It had high ratings from other FF gamers....I honestly forget what happened but I started playing it and stopped for some reason... :shrug: Still have a copy of it here....I'll give it another whirl once I beat a couple other games on my list

[DarkTirade]

33. Everyone's entitled to their own opinions...

... but anyone who voted for anything other than Final Fantasy 6 is wrong. :P

[TK421]

37. Kefka is one of my icons....I'm sick and twisted like that!!!

:D plus...just a fucking awesome game to boot....no flaws I can think of, how do you improve on a game like this? You fucking can't!!

[TK421]

43. Final Fantasy 6.....how many countless hours have I wasted leveling up on this game

I can't even remember....so many hours I spent on this game just leveling...you? If you get to the very end it helps...the Kefka fight really sucks if you're under-leveled

[Odin2005]

47. Make sure everyone knows the Ultima spell.

:)

[JonLP24]

45. Final Fantasy 8 was the only one for me

Very entertaining storyline and good graphics. I made it all the way to the final, I try to capture this one monster that was the best in the game to take with me for the final mission but I could never defeat him after many, many tries and I quit and never attempted the finale.

I bought Final Fantasy 9 but it seemed too much like a kids game. 8 was the only one I truly played and I loved it.

[Odin2005]

46. FF6

Best plot of any FF game, and the wackiest villain.
