The game forums are closing, so i am moving the popular FF forum here. No spamming, just 100% FF. Let's start with a question.... which of the FFs is the best?

It looks just like FF9.
Crystal Chronicles looks gay.
Since this is FF forum, its great to finally see Crystal Chronicles heading to Nintendo & the Gamecube - its taken a while! ONly bad news is they've pushed the released date back until the end of the year...
yeah, and we normally get them one year after release in US/Japan

Doubt it. The only things we English gamers get is high prices and the shaft when it comes to release dates

Anyone manage to get their hands on the Limited Edition PS2 Final Fantasy X-2 Stand? You know the one that glows when u switch your PS2 on and virtually sold out on day of release in Japan. 'Wonder if they'll be releasing anything like that over here hmmm...or the memory cards?

...7 was the best...

I can't remember if I mentioned it in my post, but I also think that FF7 probably has the best plot, but a lot of the positive stuff about FF7 was just its impact at the time. Had FF8 been the first FF game I'd played, it would have been equally shocking, and would probably be the more memorable as a result. Looking at each game completely on its own though, and excluding the initial wow factor, I found 8 to be better.
> Squall was a gimp :-P
That's down to personal opinion, but I think I liked him for several reasons. He never really tried hard to show his strength, he was more willing to hold back and let others shine whilst he did work beneath the surface. He had a soft side that he didn't like to show. Its strange, in Kingdom Hearts, they get David Boreanaz to voice Squall, and I think that's extremely fitting. Squall is a lot like Angel, a vampire with a soul, with great strength, but a conscience that holds him in check.
Plus of course, and I think this is the winning point, he gets Rinoa. Can't argue with that.

Any reason why the Kupos 'ruled'?

I dunno, I think they're all pretty amazing, but one thing I really like are the spheres you can buy in Luca to view CG sequences and music. Having to go to specific places to listen to music is a little annoying if you don't have any other motives, but being able to go and buy whatever music you want makes things very convenient.

Yes, it's the plot that sticks in my head most out of all FF's, and only bettered by the fact that FF7 was utterly amazing.

THE KUPO'S RULED. ANd so did much of the baddies, the land area's such as Terra and the best FF Music ever. Es[ecially Black Mage Village and Trance Kuja.

come on! at level 99, wearing the mythril armour and using w-summon KOTR and mime, and with final attack/life, you can't lose. You have to go in with only one party memeber though, otherwise your strong one might be lost. Took a while, but using the mythril, almost all of his ultima counter attacks missed.
emerald on the other hand was so difficult i gave up for about a year, then went back and eventually beat it.
