Yes, I do take my games seriously. Which is why I keep my monitor as far from my face as possible, to resist the temptation to slap certain annoying characters in the face. Of course, with console games, that temptation is virtually nonexistent. Thankfully.

The second Kingdom Hearts was more straightforward, in that your goals were clearly spelled out for you and the maps weren't nearly as complex. It was also rather entertaining, with Tifa chasing him and all. However, as predictable as the maps were, so, too, was the storyline. And that is why I shall be forever disappointed in that game. It didn't make me guess, it didn't make me go "Wasn't expecting that one", it didn't do anything but make me play through because I wanted to see it resolved.

I actually preferred the first Kingdom Hearts. Though some of the moments may have been rather cheesy, there were a lot of things that honestly surprised me.

My biggest complaint with that game, though, is the animation sequences for the summons. Why? Because they take so flipping long, I usually decide it's not worth the bother to summon anything. Even though I always have Sora possess a ridiculous amount of MP, and it might be strategically worth it, it's just far too aggravating to be bothered with when the boss I happen to be fighting is already aggravating. Referring to Maleficent from the first game. That... was the most horrendous boss fight ever. I don't want to know how many times I lost that fight...

Final Fantasy VII - The first Final Fantasy game I got. Is my number one favorite of Final Fantasy games. I like the story line of the game. And the game the game takes a long time to finish, if you want unlock more scenes and better weapons to beat Sephiroth. Especially with the Knights of the Round materia or something.

Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus: I'm still playing this game, I haven't beat it yet. But so far I find the controls a little difficult. And that the graphics are really nice, but I find the story a little confusing.

Final Fantasy VIII - I liked the story line but the game was too easy to beat. It took me about maybe two or three days to get to disk four. And beating the final boss was really annoying. I lost track of how much HP I took from the final boss until I realized that it's best to beat the boss using Squall and Rinoa's limit breaks.

Final Fantasy IX - Good story line, but again the game was kind of easy.

Final Fantasy X - The game was okay, but a little annoying in a way. I like blitz ball more on there.

Final Fantasy X-2 - The game was kind of fun but not really that all interesting.

Final Fantasy XI online - I have the game, but haven't played it yet. Hopefully it will still work. I just need a few more things before I can play it.

Final Fantasy Tactics - The second Final Fantasy game I got and probably my second favorite since I really like games that have "Tactics" in it. But I can never get Cloud on my team.

I'm still trying to collect the rest of the Final Fantasy Games. Although some might be really bad or not worth getting. I can't help myself but collect them all.

I loved Final Fantasy 8 the best.
FF7 was okay but then they had to go overkill on it and started to make sequels and stuff.
FF9 looked kinda childish in the graphic department.
FFX was okay but Tidus killed it.
FFX-2 was okay too but the story line kinda sucked
FF12 I haven't beaten yet.


Shame on you. FF7 was teh best, and the sequels are great as well...best story.

FF1: Awesome. Should be remade with supernice graphics, and elaborate the story. Probably would have the best story.
FF2: hated it. Terrible leveling system.
FF3-6 all versions: Good. Very entertaining with pretty good graphics.
FF7: Already commented, but will add that the graphics were good at the time, and the characters were more realistic in personality than any of the other FF characters. Haven't really played the newer FF7 games, but I know quite a bit of the story, and still think it's good.
FF8: Hated it. Graphics bugged the crap out of me. Characters had extremely one sided personalities. The way they handled things like summons and magic was terrible. GF's pff. Only part of the game that was the least bit entertaining was the cut scenes.
FF9: Good game. Good story. A bit off from the usual.
FF10: Good graphics. Mostly good characters. English voices ruined a lot of things...such as Tidus. End was sad, but made the story so much better.
FF10-2: Never played it, but heard bad things. Might play it some day.
FF11: Extremely awesome game, but being an MMO is not comparable to other FF games.
FF12: Have not played it yet. Nice graphics though.

Most of the final fantasy were games were at least average, except for XII. It looks awesome, it is online, but it is just plain horrible.
My personal favorites are VII and VIII, Squall (A.K.A Leon, if some ignorant people don't know) and Cloud are the coolest main characters ever.

I agree with you Bacillus, Maleficent was a horrible boss fight for me also. The summons shouldn't take so long to use anyways...

There is a lot of people you want to slap in the face on XII, just like every other online game. Thats the nice thing about normal RPGs, they characters don't beg you for items or steal your kills. rolleyes
They even charge you 13 dollars a month, and nobody even plays..they should just get rid of it..

XII = 12...it is not online...if you meant XI (11)...I think it is an awesome game...I also know a whole crapload of people that do play it. And it is more worth the 13$ a month than any other online game. My only issue with it is that if you stop playing for 3 months they kill your account key for your copy of the game, and to play again you have to buy the game again. That is the only reason I do not play it. i will not buy the game again for such a stupid reason.

What? Final fantasy having a more elaborate story?
I agree more twists and turns would have made a better game.
Unfortunately you cant really elaborate much on a near endless time loop.

FF2 (Famcom and or game boy advance) Not too difficult a game much like the first. I didn't really see that the level advancement was much diffrent than the first. The story however was much better than the first. There where actually main characters that had personality's. Plus the Game boy advance version was need with the extra unlock able game at the end. I thought it was sweet to play a new story that advanced the other story line in the game. Playing as the now undead characters that where lost in the battle to save the world...well that's way cool by me.

Unfortunatly I get terribly mixed up with the series so.

Super nes 2 and 3
I own but put a very little time in the second one.
The third was interesting with the espers and all that jaz.
Wish they cid was not the leader of ..."The red wings" cring what a horrible name for air ship armada. Either it brings to mind something really grouse or a hockey team.

Out of our more recent releases I have to put my foot down and say FF7 is the best. I loved the issues that where taking on in the games story.
The religious aspect of the planate using the energy of the departed to create new life was fascinating. There was a lot to do with large corporation's and man kind destroying the very thing that brings kept them alive. Which I am sure we could all agree gives us a connection to this game. Sephorath him self did not appear to be the typical bad guy. He was more miss understood than evil really. His other worldly half-mother on the other hand well thats another story. I think what made him stand out from the A-typical bad guy was more than just the fact that he didn't just run around murdering towns and public figures. At a time he was a hero yet he soon found out he was also a sick and twisted experiment. In so he had quite a connection with our hero Cloud strife. Even beyond what had played out. Far be it for me to point out the interesting love triangle and soul searching that went on through out. Sure the game maybe difficult to understand the first time through but there is quite enjoy. Like reading your first Tolkien or Shakespeare. I think the depth of the game enhanced it beyond the others. I can't think of any other final fantasy that I have played through quite so many times. Oh and for all those that thought 7 has been over done by the movie and alike. 7 was pushed to be created and they actually had the technology to make it look like a step between 8 and 10. Unfortunately the project suffered drastically graficts and story line. They had never finished what they had written for the story. They promised that they would remake it. I am still waiting for them to make good on this.

FF 8- Meh Sure the moving collages where cool and the card game was fun for a while. Man it really gets annoying to try to collect all those dang special ability's from monsters all the time. The time shift between Squall and his father was interesting but it lead to much more sitting around and leveling up. Which sucks when your good as one group and then all of a sudden bang your a level 10 or so again. This game did do something that no other FF had done before it and that was making the final bout as tough as your characters are. It was pretty entertaining when I was maxed out and all ready to kick so butt only to find out this fact. I was sweating bullets trying to win. I give props to that.

I am going to cover FF-9 crystal chronicles, kingdom hearts all at once.
It is obnoxious to play as children. The way children solve problems just drives me up the wall. It bothers me that it bothers me to. They are kids of course they are going to be melodramatic and ridiculous. Honestly I would rather an adult character do just that. Of course I would not like the character too much but if there was any justice in the game that character would be ridiculed by his peers for being so annoying. Often adults need to grow up too. There is also the idea when playing as a child you notice they are forced into adult situations. They are forced to grow up, perhaps too soon. I think that in it's self messes up a kid. So half the time I am irritated that I have to put up with there whining and the other half is (**** ) this just isnt right. Isn't there anyone else that can deal with this stuff, let the kids play geeez.

Which reminds me of FF 10. Yes Titus is a Whiner but he dies so Im ok with that. Still don't think it is as good as FF7 but the art is a heck of a lot better.
Sweet movie scenes. Oh and the new Bahumat was horrible.

FF X 2 was a girl game through and through. I felt a sailor moon moment every time I changed to a diffrent fighting tactic. Oh man I am supposed to be kicking butt not accessorising.

FF 12. Got it last Christmas and for shame I have yet to play it.
Loved Final fantasy tactics so I am interested to see the world in which I kicked a lot of butt in. Sucks getting old and having too much responsibility.

Well that is a little bit of a rant.

Some where in there there was a final fantasy with the first job class system. I think it was found on the FF chronicals for the Ps1 if you know what I am talking about. I loved the job class system! Something about having a Black mage ninja Samuri that made things fun.

I don't think you are looking at what I am saying the way I meant it. I don't mean add more twists and turns. I think they should make the characters and story more solid. Rather than having random character classes you get to choose they should set it up kinda like say FF7. You get them all one way or another, but you only use four at a time. And the characters themselves should have more specific roles in the story. I think you can also make the story better just using the basic story provided. For one thing there is the princess hinting at you staying in the kingdom with her at the start. And other stuff like that throughout the entire game. They could really go into that stuff, and make a real story out of it. I think that it could possibly rival FF7 if done correctly.

So what are our thoughts on the Kingdom Hearts series? Not Chain of Memories that was bad with a capital terrible, but the real ones.

I know, more of a knock off, but still....thoughts?
