Ok.. there seem to be plenty of geeks and nerds here so there's gotta be some Final Fantasy addicts in the Fishlore ranks. Your favorite game could be any version of the particular FF game (for example: the gameboy remake of FFI or the original NES version). If your favorite is a game not in the main series, just pick other and let us know what game it is.

what do you like most about the game that's your favorite and do you have any close 2nd's? Thanks to Sick-Lid Boy for the inspiration to this poll.

and while you're at it - what's better? Original Lucky Charms or Chocolate?

I know I claim to be king of the geeks, but honestly, I've never really gotten into Final Fantasy. I'm more of a military sim geek.

now, i'm so disillusioned!

Jim

FlBettaCouple, don't be, it's just after playing dungeons & dragons for over a decade no other fantasy game seemed to satisfy me. And there's nothing better after a frustrating day at work than coming home to a nice flight simulator and shooting the **** out of 20 or so planes at once... hehehe

COBettaCouple

ahh.. but it can be so rewarding to sit down to FFXII and slice and dice and hack and shoot and club and beat and zap, etc. an endless supply of monsters. or hunt down a big one for fun & profit. The newest battle system makes is so much more rewarding to kill the enemies.

Jim

I'll have to give it a try... my current addiction is the newest Microsoft combat flight simulator 3. It's Europe in WW2 and not only does it have authentic planes, it has theoretical ones thay weren't used, but on the drawing boards during the war. Also the graphics are amazig, especially flying and fighting thru thunderstorms...hehehe

It's a very addictive game and even if you don't do half the stuff in the game, it can take over a 100 hours to get through.. so much is optional though and 60-80 hours is more average.. there's so much in the game, it's crazy. Sounds like a super flying game - you playing it on a PC or a XBox360? i was addicted to sims like the civilization series, etc on PC.

I'm into the Final Fantasy VIII. It could be because that is the only one I have ever played, but it is still pretty fun. But a game called Legend Of Dragoon is a fun game also. They are both for the PS1.

FFVIII is my 2nd favorite in the series. I'd like to find a copy of it as somehow in all the moving around, i've lost the 4th disc. The first time I played it through, it took me 5 tries to beat ultimecia and when i did beat her, it was almost a 2 hour battle.. i kind of rushed through the game wanting to see the ending and had a super-weak party.. my friend tried it with that party and didn't last 10 minutes. he almost didn't believe i'd beaten the game.

Tom

You could try and visit one of those used game stores and see if they have another copy. About the game, how of the GF's did you have? I think I have all of them excpet the one you have to extract from that really tough optional boss. I also really liked the card game they had, I had every single good card.

Cant say i play the game but we've got it somewhere,my bro used to play it quite a lot before...

I think my favorite is FFX11. But I actually enjoyed all the FF titles I have played... which is V11, X, X-2, and X11. Even though FF X-2 was a bit on the girly side, I still liked it. Finding new dresses to gain powers, singing stupid little songs and doing special little dances to kill fiends... what's not to love?

sick-lid boy

Oh, and FLBetta, check out this sculpture I made a few years back... I had intended to re-cast it and semi-mass produce it for a limited edition figurine model, but I never really found the time to do it before FF X-2 was too outdated. At the time, I was sculpting a number of figurines from horror movies, and decided to do a couple video-game figures as well. This was the only video-game figure I did, though.

(the image is kinda large, so I'll just put the link...)

lol.. yea, i loved that game for the job class system.. reminded me of final fantasy tactics. i've played all of their console games since the 1st one and enjoyed them all. the dancing was .. different .. but it was cool to revisit FFX places and characters. cool job on the figurine - the only FF character to ever utter the words "oh poopie!"

Definitely a fan of FFIII (US release). It was the first one I ever played and has nostalgic purposes for me, heh. But other than that, FFVII was awesome and I really enjoyed FFX. The new fighting system and the sphere grid were both good adds. Haven't played X-2 or XII yet. Heard XII was really good. Is it good enough that I should buy it?

Fish Fry

ff7 was the best, it's the only one i actually played all the way through

COBettaCouple

It is! and then some! i was worried about the battle system changing so radically from previous FF games, but really they did super and it is the best system. the game is so huge and fun! it's probably the best one so far.

Amorinthe

am i going to prove how old I am if I wax nostalgic about the original (us) ff for the classic nes? That game revolutionized the gaming industry when it came out. Zelda was already making waves, but here was a turn based strategy game that allowed for character selection and development. there was free will (to a point) in how you played the games, with independent strategy and puzzle solving opportunities.

not until kingdom hearts did another game capture my attention and heart like that. It's ben part of the success of the GBA, bringing back classics like that.
