I love Final Fantasy 9 since it was the last of the Nobou inspired music and it was not computer generated 3d models for the environment. It was the water color painted backgrounds that added so much to the feel of the franchise in my opinion. FFIX was the last of the "old school" for the good or the bad and the culmination of everything that was made with 1 thru 8. Of course after that 10 thru 12 where still good but just not at all the same.

I honestly have no idea anymore.

It is part of my plans for the summer to play FFVII - FFXII through again from start to finish... Then perhaps I can decide again. Smile

You know if you look at the Brady guides where they have the screens you can see better how the art was done with pre-rendered hand painted backgrounds. I search the web looking for a better explanation and only found other examples of it with Saga Frontier but the earlier artist FFVII was Yoshistaka Amano.

As for the characters I think the Vivi was my most favorite and when you watch the CS with all the other Black Mages airship falling from the sky you cant help but get upset. His story line of how he was made and what he really is adds to the complete game so much and totally took me by surprise.

Next of course would be monkey boy....

Never finished VI can't say I played V or IV either. Its hard to choose between VII VIII and IX. But I went with 8 purely on the basis at the time it was so unreal for a ps1 title graphically the FMV and cut-scenes was breathtakingly refreshing. It also had a very unusual equipping system with the junction-ing however slightly flawed. And the eyes on me scene in space was brilliant.

Also how can anyone forget the unforgettable squall catch-phrase:

"..................."

But yeah 7 was inspirational and what got me hooked on the series you can't fault that game anywhere either. And 9 was amazingly detailed very artistic and went back to the older routes with character classes.

Vivi is awesome, i like how rusty calls him "Master" Vivi, that cut scene is probly one of the best in the game, i like it how he goes into trance, the one with alexandra is good, but my favorite is when there running through the petrifieing forest and the guy (i cant remember his name ) saves zaiden and throws the map to him. whats your favorite boss?

Final Fantasy VI ofcourse. ^_^ people who know me are not suprised by this. But playable moogle, good story, everyone can learn magic and a great baddie. Plus a lot of playable characters.

I tried to play the ps1 remake of VI I couldn't get into it though. Mostly because I reached a point that infuriated me at the time i don't think it was amazingly far in but I was literally down on health had no potions miles from any exit. And everytime I made two steps I got a random encounter... after about 10 attempts I think I just gave up.

I echo exactly what Selyah just said. EXACTLY.

I just left the castle/fort/whatever and climbed up these mountains, and then kept dying at this boss. I had no idea where I was going or what I was supposed to be doing. Confused
