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?

FFVII is the most anti-Capitalist game.

I mean, the symbolism of evil capitalist executives quite literally burning away the souls of its people ain't exactly gonna win awards for subtlety.

I've been trying to track that game down. I'm a sucker for protags wearing fur trim.

[up][up][up][up][up][up] Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers, which is also the last Crystal Chronicles game currently. I hope that the first game's Remaster leads to them making more Crystal Chronicles games again.

[up][up] The best song ever.

But when I think of "vocal tracks," I think of like the ending ballads that have become staples since FFVIII or Xenogears, whichever came first. Think it was Xenogears.

Best FF vocal track thus is Noel's Theme

Tec hnically stuff like One Winged Angel and Caius' Theme are also vocal tracks but they are "different" in my head if you get me.

The FF composers seem to really like their musical theming. I recognize the melody for that from a couple of FFXIII-2 songs.

Passages from Dragonsong are in almost every track in the expansion.

Technically stuff like One Winged Angel and Caius' Theme are also vocal tracks but they are "different" in my head if you get me.

The difference is tracks like "One-Winged Angel" and "Caius's Theme" are choir tracks, which are sung by multiple people, simultaneously, and they also tend to just be the same two or three lines repeated. Choir vocals are more like an extension of the music itself, as opposed to tracks like "Noel's Theme" and "Dragonsong", which have just one singer front-and-center, and more elaborate lyrics.
