Parents are those really hip people that most of you share your house with. You know the ones, always trying to make you do things because 'it's for the best', the ones that make you cringe when they 'dance', and you are always trying to figure out why they aren't happy people in the mornings. (Understanding these things comes later, wait till you're a parent...)

It's now September, and offspring of the world should now unite in gearing up for the festive season and start dropping hints regarding possible presents. Clearly last year's Christmas campaign by moi was not a success as I got a Gameboy Color with Pokemon Blue in my Christmas stocking.

However, this year will be different as I've printed off a complete list of all those Dreamcast games that I'm missing from my collection and left copies of it in inconspicuous places around the house, like on top of the TV, on my mum's favourite chair, draped nonchalantly across the toilet seat, that kind of thing.

Knowing my mum though, she'll probably end up getting me Legend of Zelda for the N64...

So what about you? What is YOUR Christmas campaign going to be this year? Are you rooting for Conker's Bad Fur Day and going to get Fur Fighters? Are you gunning for Perfect Dark and going to end up with Digimon World? Do you keep asking for a shoot 'em up and getting told that drugs are bad for you?

In short, do your parents have a clue about your gaming desires or do they come out with comments like my mum's recent one: "Microsoft and Nintendo are bringing out their new Playstations soon..."

You as well, Final Fantasy 9 was just too easy!

way to easy, for everything to be done in a week, shouldn't be called a game.

still good though, better than 8.

I'm an 8 fan myself, it was just SO under-rated, hence my user-name Seifer!

don't get me wrong Final Fantasy VIII is an amazing game, but slightly to serious.

Seifer one of the best fiends of the final fantasy series

My faveourite would have to be either FFVI or FFVII not sure, they are both amazing

Seifer is the best fiend, they only bad thing about him is that he ends up going fishing, there is no sensible 18 year old who would go fishing after they had just tried to cause Time Compression which would have therefore would have caused world destruction

It is one of the more comical sides to game!

I have only played the Playstation Final Fantasies but I know that Final Fantasy 6 was the absolute best
