I'm actually quite surprise done of the longest running and most successful gaming franchises out there hasn't gotten a thread yet.
What can you say about it? Eastern RPG, 25+ years of history, many games, sequels, and spin-offs. Some duds, some widly fantastic successes, you could go on for literally hours about Final Fantasy.
The last released one was Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, but if you don't count MMOs, that honor goes to Final Fantasy XIII-2, with the release of Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII up next, and Final Fantasy XV in development.

But no matter what, you can't deny that the stories are usually good with memorable characters.
So no matter the installment, upcoming game, or what's new/just came out, rant about how good Sephiroth or Kefka is, talk about Final Fantasy here!

Personally, I've only really played Final Fantasy VI, and X.
But I still really appreciate all the other games and intend to get the others really soon.

Also Final Fantasy X and X-2 HD come out in a few months, so get hyped about that too!
 
Recently beaten FF4DS.

boy, how much i want FF6 to receive a worthy remake like that one, not a stupid resprited version.
 
I really liked VI...proably my favorite. My 2nd favorite is one that seems to be a less liked...FFXII.
 
I only ever really liked the Super Nes ones. Should probably get around to playing 7 one of these days.
 
I am the king of unpopular opinions because I like the FF13 series.....
 
Oh man, I also forgot that Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call is due next Spring.
200+ songs for you to play on the 3DS, including the entire tracklist of the first game!

Does that make me queen? I liked 13 I didn't care that it was linear I don't do side stuff anyway. I actually never beat 13 Barthandelus always casts death ;-; he's a sore loser.
I do like the tactics series those are probably my favorite.
 
My favorite one will always be Final Fantasy V. The job class system was so awesome.

Final Fantasy VI is right after it along with Final Fantasy IX.
 
It also had Gilgamesh, aka the best supporting FF character ever made.

Plus, one of the best themes ever. "Clash on The Big Bridge" is easily in my top ten themes of all time.
 
They should just to making a game about Gilgamesh already.
With boss fights of him fighting parties from the games he cameoed in.
Including the FFXIII-2 DLC
and he can be backed up by..... PUPU! (the announcer in the arena in 13-2 made that the best free dlc I ever got)

wish they launched it on Android. don't want to break my 3ds touch screen
 
It was on iOS but it was handled poorly.
DLC up the ass.

Curtain Call basically has all DLC songs, all iOS exclusive songs, and all DLC/iOS characters.
Plus a fuck ton of new songs.
But if it doesn't have You Are Not Alone I'm gonna be cross.
 
it have type-0 songs AND I STILL CAN'T PLAY THE GODDAMN THING! CURSE YOU SQUARE!
 
The only time I don't want Square to be making FF games is when I think about how TWEWY needs a sequel. which is all the time
 
I recently picked up FF7 (which is my least favorite FF that I've played) for steam since it was 4 bucks, and boy howdy, I hate the controls. I also named Cloud "Dinkle" because I could... and he's pretty overrated
 
Man, Sano. You like FF13 but seem to have a distaste for Cloud.

But FF9 is best FF I've said time and time again.

I can gush for days about FF9. and I've always been indifferent to lightning. I'm not too fond of her attitude but I say she was more likeable in the first FF13 game, cant speak for 13-2. I just never really liked cloud and never saw why people hold him so high on a pedistol.

My favortie FF game is 6. so much love for FF6. also 4 has my favorite tagline ever. "bid farewell to your bloodstained past."
 
I like to consider there to be two different Clouds. There's the Awesome-McCoolguy Cloud in FF7, and then there's the robotic-sounding dull and depressing as all get out Cloud in everything else. I hold the coolguy pretty high, but dullguy is among the levels of Tidus bad.
 
I also hate how mopey he is at the beginning of the game. I just feel FF7's greatest weakness is it's popularity. when it came out and for years after, everything about the game was talked about. you couldnt miss any secrets about the game. things like aerith's death dont mean anything to me (especially since I hate having her active in my party), because its been done to death and doesnt have any emotional impact anymore unless you were there. which is why I prefer 6 and 9. those are the ones that seemed to have nothing in terms of overexcited fans eager to gush about the game's secrets.
 
I think my portable-addiction is gonna make me sell my ps3 before finishing ff13. the goddamn game takes JUST TOO LONG TO GET INTRESTING!

it's like over 6 hours of character intros and motivations explained

And by all the gods and demons Kaneko drew, I HATE VANILLE!
 
I thought the game was pretty good TBH. I like the characters and I never cared to try and make sense of the technology.

also I LOVE Vanille.
 
There's a good number of mentions of FFV, though...
 
snip

3:50 and you're welcome.

no mentions of FFV on this topic

i'm disappoint

Taking Vanille to the astro pod for...experiments. I always liked her weapon. It's weird looking, but it kicks ass. Like a very violent dream catcher. Also, she was my prime healer instead of Hope come at me

So I just got finished with the Lightning Returns demo. I'm liking the seamless job changing as always. Also I named my Red Mage Schema "#SwagMagic". Judge me if you will.

Lol, Lightning in Cloud's outfit, how silly-

IS SHE IN YUNA'S OLD SUMMONER GARB? AHHHHHHH

But yeah aside from FFXIII overall, my favorite FF in each category would be:

For story: FFIV or FFX with IV having a slight lead
For graphics: FFXIII, but kinda unfair, seeing as it is in a later age, so I'd pick FFVII or FFX because they radically changed how the game normally looked when they came out
For characters: FFI Favorite Main Character is Lightning, Favorite Party Members goes straight to FFX (Rikku and Lulu are awesome and Wakka is just a pleasure to have)

Kain Motherfucking Highwind is dah best.
 
Honestly I haven't been impressed with anything in the FF series since FFX (and even that had its problems). 9, 7 and 6 were the high points, IMO.

I don't care for the MMO's and FF12 and 13 were disappointing.

The only games I have in my collection are FF XIII and VII. I am the beginning in both since I have not played them often (mostly played Skullgirls and Pokemon X now). I played a bit of Dissidia Final Fantasy 012 on one of my friend's PS Vita. So far, I like it.
 
wish this game was decently ported to android. that mockery they did on iOS was disgraceful.
 
I liked 7 through 10-2
7 more or less is where I got my start of the series and reminds me of an old around the block friend who moved and we'd play to together. Also big deal if the characters get a bad rap I love em.
8's set up bugged me, but it was still rather enjoyable, never got to beat it though.
9 Loved it loved every bit about it, loved the characters and the music was great.....basically this whole game was a play I was happy to stay and watch.
10 yeah love this one probably if not the top near the top, and yes English voice and personality or not I loooove Tidus, although my fav in that game will always be Rikku, after all I got her to basically one shot everything in the game that's how much attention I gave her for this game lol.
10-2 yeah loved this one too, the game mechanics were great. class changing was fun I find very little to complain about. so yeah there ya go.
 
I just think if people are gonna port to mobile markets, then there should be lot more quality control in this thing.
