yeah, in FF7, I could get past the graphics, and the crappy sound, but the story wasn't really that good. It was a whiney guy with an Identity Crisis.

I really liked FF8 because it talked about all the time compression and stuff, It just had a really great storyline to it.

X is my favorite though. It had the story, the graphics and the music. Greatest RPG right there (Besides the Lunar games of course).

FFVIII had a wonderful storyline, and I loved the characters. The music is amazing too...It's such a great game.

thnx possesed, finally a topic to show my frreakinnes for FF...

FF7 is the best of all... it's got the best story (trogdor sorry, but if you didn't understand it... you can't appreciate it :d)... there's a lot of people who wouldn't really know what happened, you have to really get in the game and think about it to get it.... you'll probably hear people talking about how cloud was a weak char (check his sword... how can he be weak) and a clone from sephiroth (lamest thing anyone could say about cloud...), but FF7, had a great music, whenever i hear any midi (specially the ones when sephiroths slaughter everyone at shinra, dark cool music) memories from ff7 come back to me...

best villian and hero... hardest one to beat from the playstation games... i'll go there in a second, i'll make a review of each FF from playstation... and some others....

there was the FLAWLESS MATERIA SYSTEM... i mean with it, i could beat any strategy, cloud's the best and this is one of the main things (don't try to argue, i have batteled FF freaks before 8) ) then the cool mini-games, sidequests, the getting chars, the chocobo raising... (best one... not another FF game has had one as good as in FF7...) the intrincated story... it was great

FF8, the most shallow and the worse, it's got good graphics... a main char who most girls LUV, cuz he's handsome and misterious (only cuz of this, not real good qualities), can be beaten at lvl 1 (yes even ultima weapon at lvl 100)... it had some good things, some good side-quests, the card mini-game (very good one BTW...) the SeeD thingy, which was a great asset... it was A GREAT GAME, DON'T GET ME WRONG, but the worse from the PS ones, GREAT characters, Zell hehe cool, Edea cool char, but the game quality, not very good...

ok FF9, this was a good game, back to the Job kinda System from final fantasy 1,2... well a lot... the learning system with the weapons it was cool, you really had to be in the game, not to miss the weapons (cuz at last part, you couldn't visit some places :? ), then the mognet thingy, which was kinda cool, you know keep your mind in a lot of things at the time... now the main char, the hero... well not as masculine as i wanted... lotsa secrets, like the friendly monsters side-quest, the auction thing, the garnet life and real name thingy, the summons were great, cool FMVs, the trance thingy, i didn't like it too much, it got back to 0 at end of fights when activated, even if not used (nother reason for FF7 to pwnzor)... the excallibur 2, chocograph and ultima weapon thingys were quite challenging, it was kinda cool, back to the chocobo stuff YEAH.... it's not the best in my opinion.. but it's quite cool and entertaining...

FFX... last FF, my expertize area... quite good, a lot of finding out to do, the sphere grid with the jobs (thnk god for jobs) so you could ACTUALLY build up your chars as you wanted... the mini-games sidequests were cool, the storyline kinda cool, and confusing at first... lotsa things apart from the main stroylline to do (celestial weapons, al bhed stuff, blitzball...) so if you really wanted to finish it, now it would be a long as time...

"All the guys I've met who play FF games, hate 8. I've met one guy who likes 8. But I know a lot of girls who love 8. I'm not saying all girls love 8 and all guys hate it, it's just something I've noticed. I've had these FF fights so many times with the guys I know. But we all agree 3 is better than all of 'em. We still have the 7 and 8 fight (and an occasional 9 fight, I still think it sucked). 10 didn't do much for me. The graphics ruled, but I couldn't stand Tidus and Wakka and the story wasn't to die for. Auron kicked ass though."-Possesedbythesquirrels

agree with the comment on FFX... the monster arena was quite cool, the worse things about this game are:

1) when you get everyone stats to 255 and life to 99,999 (can't get MP to 9,999 with other things...) everythings ez...

2) can be beaten without using summons, sphere grid or customizing...

3) last boss in the main storyline... really really sux... the one before that (braska's final aeon) is way harder.... and more entertaining...

ok FF6 was great, the kinda job system was cool, great chars, great storyline... terra, cool, mag was cool, long game, and entertaining... it was great

FF5 well it was kinda cool, but the crystal thing, was from FF4, so ff5 and 4 were... just ok...

lol won't go to the other ones.. they're old, coool, and were the first, but old, and pretty much obsolet by now...

FFtactics is great, whoever enjoys strategy games, and final fantasy games, and job system, buy this one... now for FFx-2 it will be kinda cool, i didn't like the pop star job, and the reason that it will be kinda like charlie's angels... will be cool that there will be more options (moving in fights, and finally jumping *WOOHOO*)

well that's it for my review on final fantasy games... hope people like it... have a fun time reading it and remember...

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS MY OPINION... AND A LOT OF GOOD PLAYERS AGREE, BUT THIS ISN'T WHAT EVERYBODY SHOULD THINK, OR FOLLOW... that said... thnx for reading, hope you enjoyed...

FFX-2 looks to be nothing but fanservice with a cute little story just for the "girls", and it'll probably suck. *Lulu isn't a main character! #^%$@(^ to that!* But I must say, that j-pop opening theme gets stuck in my head all the time, and I of course had to download it. The opening movie is kinda cute too, but... should FF games be cute when the cuteness isn't really Chocobo oriented? *or SD oriented. FF9 gets major pluses for how CUTE everyone looked* XD

woah someone who actually understands... great comment gal...

@DarkArchangel:

Dude, I fucking understood the storyline of FF7, it wasn't that good. It didn't have that good of a set of characters. I mean, what the hell is a fucking DOG gonna do in battle. Then you have a drunkard with a ship, a black guy that thinks he is bad ass, a big tittied girl, a fucking marshmellow with a bat on his head, and a damned guy that has an identity complex. Sure he WAS a clone, but he made different choices, and turned out to actually be different. The only thing half-way meaningful in that game was when Aris got chopped up. And she was supposed to come back, but SquareUS didn't program it in. Sephiroth only looked cool, other than that he was a panty waist. I HATED the materia system. It wasn't goot AT ALL. The only thing that this game had over FF8 was that you didn't have to FORGE your own weapons. That did suck fat nuts. And yes, I also thought that in FFX, Yu-Yevin was a terrible main boss. Jehct was much harder than Yu-Yevin. I still think that FF never should have gone "Futuristic" that does kinda ruin the whole fantasy element to me.

I've played MOST of the FF games. I've not yet bought a PS2 (but I will eventually, perhaps in December or something) so I haven't played FFX.

I absolutely loved Final Fantasy VII. My mom surprised me by buying the PlayStation and bought that game too. Graphics were absolutely stunning (even though you look at them now and they seem much less, but who really cares when the game kicks so much ass?), and I can honestly say it was the first game to legitimately SCARE me. Sephiroth = coolest villain ever.

All the others I've played I enjoyed a lot, nothing quite as much as that one though.

Love the Chrono games too, HOWEVER I've not played any of the Xeno games... which is quite tragic I do believe.

Aaaaaaaand one last thing. I still listen to MIDI versions of songs from various RPGs on occasion. There was once a phase in my life where I was obsessed with music in Final Fantasy and other games.

*shall now read the rest of this thread and relive some damn good memories*

Yes, that is quite tragic.

Incredibly tragic, but at least you've played Chrono.

I'm pretty much with Trogdor on FFVII. The Materia system was awful, the story was a yawn... but probably the worst was the charactors. I hated Cloud with a passion. Same with Tifa. And Barret. All of them, dammit. The only ones I could tolerate where Red and Vincent, just 'cause they looked cool. Bleah.

this only proves to me you're like the other 100 guys i've been arguing with before... let's make some corrections here *sigh*:

didn't understood the storyline cuz of this:
Dog, nah, he was a descendant of a warriors race, his dad was believed to be a coward, but then he finds out he wasnt, he died protecting his village, and it would be more like a cat, cuz tiger is linked to cats, not dogs...

drunkard hahaha, man if you knew about final fantasies, you'd know he's the coolest Cid, in every game (don't ask why, i dunno...) there has been a Cid, in this one he was a pilot, owner of a rocket, and yeah he was drunk, but he had some GREAT THINGS...

black guy who IS a bad ass, which has a complete story, even a friend you have to battle... i'm starting to see this: you reduce FF7 chars to nothing :?

big tittied girl haha, ok let's see, Rinoa, Garnet (dagger, sarah whatever...) Yuna... Lulu... can't name Rikku, but anyway, in EVERY GAME, there has got to be a hottie... besides they have a big story together...

that marshmallow was a puppet controlled by a guy in shinra who actually saves your life and THE WORLD, by getting the black materia (yep... he's useful allright...)

HAHAHA CLOUD A CLONE... man i could write you the whole cloud story, the 165132015461063146 reasons that are named in the game, that let you know he isn't a clone... but hey, if you REALLY DIDN'T GET THE STORYLINE, you won't get it anyway... and as i said... lamest thing to say about cloud... and you said it...

oh you missed the great flower girl, who heals you, and dies, and makes everyone sad (i've seen 4 out of 5 people cry when she dies...) oh and yeah, SHE WASN'T SUPPOSED TO COME BACK, people would have liked it better, with she dead, would have a greater killing sephiroth feeling that way, and they would get deeper in the story....

materia system, if you can't really think a sec to arrange it, isn't our problem, it has been the best way to arrange stuff, and even have jobs without the jobs being an option...

sephiroth didn't only look cool, he was the BEST BADASS EVER... you see, Kuja was cool, but if you can't see thru external looks well, you'll say he was gay... the gay one was seymour from FFX... best 2 bosses were kuja and sephiroth...

now when you say about forging that was actually pretty good... look stuff you mentioned not to like make the games cooler, cuz you can actually take more decisions, and make your OWN GAME, this are hard games that require some brains into them... if you don't like hard games, don't buy FF games and discuss about them...

it would be like saying chess sux, cuz i don't get it, or just don't like it... nope it doesn't suck and on an artistic and gaming levels, it would be better than any blackjack game... which i'm sure A LOT OF PEOPLE like...
