Final fantasy?

[Cord_Croft]

Could someone please explain to me what the final fantasy games are all about?
Ive seen some vids on youtube and they seem kinda sad/funny/romnatic, i just don't get what the whole game is about....:confused:

[Elysia]

They are beautifully rendered and told stories, full of tragedy, romance, humour, bizarre enemies...you can't really define them in simple words. In order to understand Final Fantasy, you have to play them. I'm playing FFX-2 right now :D

[MiCkiZ88]

every final fantay game is an independent story.. only ffx had a sequel..
final fantasy games are.. well role playing games. And it evolves around a story.. ffx2 was kinda bad in that since it was mission based.. The stories have many meanings.. some have many sides.. likes this new final fantasy game that is in work.. ffXIII has three differend games.. three stories..

Might I ad that square enix id one of the best story tellers in game indrustry.. and they hardly ever let their games out witout finishing them *cough*eidos*cough*

Final Fantasy games are rpgs that have very good story lines. Every game is different. The only thing that stayed in every game was that they had a Cid, Biggs and Wedge in about eevery one. There can be sad, funny, wierd, and all other kinds of things at parts.

also moogles.. they are in every game.. wrether its an weapon or costume or living characters..

also every final fantasy game seem that have some kinda connection to others.. like you can find similarities or names from other ff games.. like shinra...

The Final Fantasy series is one of the best serieses ever.
My favourite is Final Fantasy 9 ;)

[Rivendell]

Magic, heroism, adventure and saving the world :tmb:

Great games, really great :D

I've also have never played any of the final fantasty games :o

Which FF would be a good starting point ?

[MiCkiZ88]

there were some npc's in ffx too that reminded of other characters from ff games..

hmm.. I cant really think of lots of stuff since I've only played ffx, x2, and viii

also tifa looked like the black haired woman from ffviii ad tidus and cloud looked alike

edit: ffx is great! I love it you should really try it.. and if you really wanna know what happens after then play ffx2

Thanks Mad Tony, I'll give it a go :wve:
By the way when did FF9 come out ?

[Mad Tony]

I think about 2000, or 2001.
You could probably find it on Ebay or something. ;)

[Satu]

ok i'll check it out :tmb:

[Lone Raider]

I liked 7, 8 and 9. 7 is about Cloud who stars in the movie Advent Children

[Satu]

Geez I've never even heard of Cloud :o or seen Adven Children :o

hehehe better get myself up to speed...by the way is FF10 the last one made and when does Yuna appear for the first time...sorry to bust your chops people

[Rivendell]

*Sigh* I wish I could play FF9 again afresh for the first time. It's my favourite one I think, well, tied with 7. It's just such a Fantasy game!

[EdwardElricsGirl]

i don't know. i started with VII, and i've played all the way to X-2.

i agree. my dad told me that he thought that 9 wasn't exactly good as the others when it came to characters.

[Kamrusepas]

I started with VIII, and it's absolutely my favorite.

[MiCkiZ88]

I started with VIII, and it's absolutely my favorite.
I havent finished it :o and I broke my cd :(
but I love it so far.. and it was the first demo I played ever.. gotta love the intro..

[Shark_Blade]

My favourite is no 8 and 9. FFX is good but I really hate playing Tidus in his yellow outfit. Poor fashion taste I'd say. But Yuna is absolutely an angel:)

[Cord_Croft]

Im searching ebay and they're so friggin expensive!!!

They ain't so expensive...

[Cord_Croft]

Thanks for the reply, I think mum will let me buy one, which one should i start with? Or which is the /best/ one out of 7 8 9 or 10

[Rivendell]

I'd say start with 7, and work your way through them :tmb:
7 will introduce you to the feel of the games and start off your understanding of developing your characters powers.

[Cord_Croft]

Thanks ! Just asked mom and she said yeah sure! So brb peeps ordering 1st FF game :D (number 7)

[Rivendell]

Another reason for starting with 7 is that you can appreciate the games as the graphics get better over the years. The fmv's in 7 are still absolutely ace even today :D
