Final Fantasy general

Go To

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?

Maybe because your final party in VI isn't three girls and a guy?

A gimmick character with a personality designed around a class rather than the class being designed around the personality, like Gau, Umaro, and Quina.

@Cliché: I was referring to gender, but that works too.

Oh, I forgot Odin, who is usually a staple, and Titan and Chocobo make frequent appearances.

Titan was in III, IV, V, and VII, off the top of my head.

I wish this series had more pirates in it. Every playable pirate character has been incredibly cool.

Leila? Badass.

Faris? Super badass.

Balthier? THE LEADING MAN!

I'm not counting Vaan since he's not a pirate until after the game ;P

Faris is an Expy of Leila, down to their sprite's purple hair. Sure Faris' Amano art depicts her as blonde but most fan work differs.

Is'nt she more pink than purple?

I don't care, Faris is still badass and she's got the Badass Longcoat to prove it.

I... Really hate asking this in a serious(?) conversation... But, can somebody show me what Kefka or Cloud look like in Dissidia with their crossdressing items?

Sorry.

Cue Internet Backdraft.

Thanks for ignoring this.

Vaan is actually pretty awesome in A2 since he's pretty much a Balthier Expy there, albeit a slightly less clever one.

Faris has purple hair, Terra has green hair, and Amano's art is bleh.

Hey hey now! Faris' Amano coat is more than enough reason to love him.

Compromise - she's a purple haired Badass Longcoat. Will that satisfy?

But the problem is that that really doesn't preserve anything about the character, except for the hair color.

Heck, it shares hairstyle and glasses with Mari Mawhatever, so it's more similar to her than to Faris.

I've only played up to IX, but I think the only game in which the Lightning Elemental Summon wasn't Ramuh was VIII, which had Quetzecoatl standing in for him...

Bahamut's cool and all, but did we really need three of him in VII?

(Although I will be the first to gush about Bahamut Zero's Mega Tera Flare; it's awesome).

EDIT: Corrected mistake

Knights Of The Round was a nice concept (summoning Arthur and his pals? Win), but I've only ever bothered to get it once, and it was only for flash value. There aren't really any enemies apart from the two Weapons that require that kind of pummeling; not that it's really advisable to cast it on Ruby Weapon anyway, as he typically retaliates with Ultima.
