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?

Jack Garland had more screen time with his wife than Noctis and Lunafreya [lol]

Also Frank Sinata is now a Final Fantasy character along with Ariana Grande. What a world. lol

Uh that's Princess Sarah not his wife.

I guess they are finally showing that Garland did indeed once loved her, like some of the guides say even though in-game he just wanted power.

Even though the same guides also state that Sarah rejected him and that's why he turned evil, she seems to have the same feelings for him.

Between the whole Tifa porn incident and Sinatra music being used in So P I imagine it must be a strange time to be an Italian FF fan.

The average Italian fan is bound to be a stranger to all this media attention on their country. I guess you could say, a stranger to pa-no not doing this.

But no seriously, if I was Italian I'd have a field day with this sort of incident.

In other news, the Japanese twitter for Chocobo GP has been posting character trailers for the past few weeks.

Unironically, the IX cast would look fitting in the game's more cartoony style.

Emet-Selch driving a kart and being all cute would be the funniest part of the game.

It is kinda interesting to see Terra is in permanent Esper form in this game and the fact that Maduin of all people is in this makes me think this is some sort of alternate timeline where she never left the Esper world. Which is a weird plot line to add to a seemingly saccharine racing spinoff

I nominate Sazh's pet Chocobo/ suicide deterrent that fills his hair with bird crap and becomes a sexy lady to make up for it.

Lots of espers in the roster. So, will we race as or on Alexander?

All the karts ARE Alexander. The racers will be narrowed down through the competition until only the best karts are in the final race. Then, Alexander will merge with these karts into Neo Primal Alexander Soul and take over the world, to where everyone combines their power to fight him via song and first person shooter.

[up]Whelp, they are already going down the Mario Kart route. Hope people don't anticipate their favorites getting in since they will instead need roster space for Pink Gold Aerith, Baby Galuf, Lightning Alt Number 13 and that one enemy you faced for ten seconds in that 5th dungeon in FFVI.

Oh okay, lewd Pokemon. Got you.

I can't believe we have a Final Fantasy kart game and not a Final Fantasy chocobo racing miniseries.

But I'm tickled that Mecha Chocobo is its own kart and not just a robot driving a car.

Bit of a swerve in topics here, but I gotta say, looking at the three PSX titles, VIII really stands out like a sore thumb.

While not bad necessarily (I still have to try it), the fact that it just so happens to be sandwiched between the groundbreaking masterpiece that is VII and the critically acclaimed classic throwback that is IX really does it no favors, to the point that it could be considered a Sophomore Slump.

I mean geez, how do you compare to two of arguably the most beloved titles in not just the series, but in the entire medium?
