Because Kinkajou told me to.
So yeah, anything about Final Fantasy! I guess this would make a good starting point: Which are your favorite games in the series and why?
My two all-time favorites are tied between Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy IX. They're both very fun games that don't take themselves too seriously while still being legitimately emotional. On top of that, Zidane is my favorite Final Fantasy lead in the entire series. He's light-hearted, fun, and a generally nice guy to be around. FFV also has the advantage of having one of, if not the best, Job System in an FF game. Both FFV and FFIX make characters customizable while keeping them all unique in their own way. I'm also very fond of Final Fantasy I; it hasn't aged well, but it's classic, and like FFV, I played it tons as a kid.
I assume we'll drift around to various other FF-related discussions as the topic grows, right?

So, I just beat X. Beautiful ending. BEAUTIFUL.
Auron died like a man. The same way he lived. And un-lived.
I'm Only Sleeping
Why do the most badass FF characters have to die?
First Galuf, then Leo, then Auron...
INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit. WIS is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad. CHA is convincing people that it does.
Don't forget freaking Shadow, AKA the coolest character in the series.

Kerrah, Shadow isn't Balthier!
...is he?
Shadow is David Bowie.

^ But Kakashi is Shadow.
Come on, ninja, paired up with ninja dog(s), feels extreme guilt about the death of his partner, come on.
I have a message from another time...
Now I feel like editing some David Bowie song together with screenshots and concept art of Shadow.
But still, he's NOT David Bowie!

Wow. No, you're right, David Bowie is Emperor Mateus.
Shadow: "Hello, adventurers, I'm your new mercenary, my name is—"
Cyan: "David motherfucking Bowie!"
Shadow: "Actually, I'm not Da—"
Cyan: "Holy shit, Bowie-sensei! I'm your number one fan! I have downloaded all of your albums!"
Terra: "Is is true that you've slept with Mick Jagger?"
Shadow: "As I was saying, I'm NOT David Bowie.
...but yes, it is true."
Edgar's thoughts: "David Bowie will never understand the pain I feel inside. The pain that comes from being intensely gorgeous and loved by millions of people around the world. God, I hate myself."
Shadow: "Actually, I totally get where you're coming from, Edgar."
Cyan: "Holy crap, you can read Edgar's mind?"
Shadow: "I'm David Bowie, I can do anything!"
Terra: "I thought you said you weren't David Bowie."
Shadow: "...I'm not."
Cyan: "I-love-you-David-Bowie-sama-sensei-sempai-san-samaaaaaaa! Kun!"

David Bowie can't read minds! He's a shapeshifter!
^^ I laughed.
Credit goes to LittleKuriboh. Wish I was one tenth as funny as he is.
edit: How did we go from the ending of FFX into David Bowie in less than one page?

The power of the Area is absolute and unflinching.
I don't want to think about Shadow in Jareth's pants.
...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!

Shadow can live, you'd know that if you reeeeaaally liked him.

Yes. If you truly want him to live, you have to save his life and then never recruit him again.
Man... The more I think about it, the more I realize that, with the possible exception of Gogo and Umaro, everyone in VI's playable cast has something horribly tragic happen to them. Go ahead. Name anyone.
I have a message from another time...
Cheeky son of a....
The leader guy of Le Resistance?
:smug:
Court Dragon
What, Bannon?
...you win this round...
I have a message from another time...
I thought he died when the world ended...
Cheeky son of a....
Ha! I have defeated Enlong! Yes!
Edit: Shut up Rebo...

Because I wrote the initial bunch while half-asleep. I feel that those three suffered from that a lot.
