i love like and dislike the series lol
all the people have individual personalitys the games are some what lengthy so i dont finish them in one day and if you really look at them they all have something to do with stuff thats going on in the real world in order that i played them ie X haveing religion be hypoctitical VII haveing big coorperations controle the world 12 ummm ok i have nothing for that one ^^' but anyway
i like how they are diffrent every time and not just the same copy paisted game with a diffrent story attached (though this did lead to some of the not so great ones such as the gathering of magic in VIII (i think thats the one)
but the only thing i really didnt like was one of the things that i did like if that makes any sence... ive spent so much time on thease games that ive beaten all but VII <-- has a glitch on the key of the anchents part so i cant get past it... and im only 16 so this amount of time is alot to me... avrageing 60 hours to just beat the story not to mention the excessive number of side quests and thats at least a year of my life O.O cause ive beaten V+ only skiping XI cause it was an MMO and including all the side ones like tactics, X-2, and the ds version of XII yea almost a year of life on thease games XD
ah well thats just my take on things

I've played a handful of them, but I'd no sooner call Final Fantasy a game series as much as I'd call National Lampoon a movie series. Most Final Fantasies have little to no continuty with each other, and those that do pull some kind of presumptionsuous number-dash-number title (i.e. X-2), or give it some kind of subtitle (Crisis Core). The only similarity is usually the turn-based formula, and FF12 kind screwed that one up.
That having been said. I like the original FF7. It was a little on the long side, but there was enough to do, and it was well made enough that I could widdle away the hours without much care or thought on it. 8 was good, but didn't hold my attention as well. The only character I really liked was Squall, but that might be because he shared so much in common with his blonde predecesor.
Played 12 for awhile, couldn't finish it either. It made me feel like I was in a mmoperger with a bunch of computer people as my party members.
The only Final Fantasty I remember having a blast with was Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. A buddy of mine had it in the dorm where I was staying at the time, and for several weeks we had all four slots filled while we were trying to work toward the end. He did eventually beat it (though I wasn't around when he finally did), but it was a fun time. This was the only Final Fantasy I really got into, and of course SquareEnix didn't really pursue the CC formula much afterward so. Take that as you will.

I've played VI - XII in the main series apart from XI, for obvious reasons, plus X-2, Crisis Core and I've just started FF Tactics. So far, I've loved every one.
I love the stories and characters more than anything, and the lurrrvely soundtracks. Especially Crisis Core's, the understated guitar was gorgeous.
But, I have to admit, I absolutely despise random battles, by far my least favourite thing about the series. I'm so happy XII got rid of them. I like turnbased battles, but damn it most of the time I'll go two fucking steps and BAM! Here we go again.

I love them. At least the I to IX. X was far from the standards I had build up to the franchise by the time I played it, but I still play it from time to time. X-2 was terrible and I wish it never existed. I didn't play XI as part of my policy of not paying for playing. XII had a good, close to great gameplay-system, but the idea of mixing politics and all that in was a reaaaly bad idea + that Vaan is the worst main character in any FF-game and I have something against emos so that says something of how terrible he is.
I agree with this. Also, I love the sphere grid and hated ATB, so 10 was a good match on a game for me.wouldyoukindly99 said:
The first Final Fantasy would have been the final fantasy game when it was done as the company was about to go under. Surprisingly enough, it sold incredibly well and they were able to keep going. (Or at least, that's the explanation I've heard.) The other games have simply carried the title, and now the Final Fantasy name simply has a lot of clout. There are people out there that will buy a new FF just because it's part of the franchise.Decy19 said:
It is very ironic that Final Fantasy is one of the longest-running titles but it isn't a reason to dislike it.Decy19 said:
Now, I'll admit that I'm a huge FF fan, but just for the games. I'm not the type to go out and surround my room with FF posters and Sephiroth figurines.
Having said that, I own pretty much most of the Final Fantasy games to date. Why do I like them? I rather enjoy their storylines, cast of characters, and setting the battle system somehow appeals to me a lot (especially FFVIII), and I rather enjoy lengthy games.
Having said that, there are a lot of things about FF that I don't like. I don't like the "1 game for the price of 3" gimmick that they've been stuck on for the past few years, I generally dislike the Tactics series as a whole, and Final Fantasy X-2 does not exist.
