Why do we like FF?

You say it like it’s a bad thing!

I started playing FF when my friend, who has been a MASSIVE RPG fan since the age of 9, lent me FF8 a few months back to get someone obsessed so she’d have someone to chat about games with. And so my obsession started, much to my enjoyment, and much to the despair of my family…their reaction was pretty much, “WHAT?! ANOTHER thing to obsess over?!”

Meh, I’ve been a lone ranger.All I can do is learn from my older cousins (who got me hooked on RPG’s) who are guys.So when I hear of a girl who plays RPG’s, I literally freak, because I had none of that “girl-bonding-over-RPG’s” when I was younger :frowning: All I had were boys to shwo of my gaming skillz:kissy:

No one in my family really likes RPGs, although my sister likes to watch me playing on Final Fantasies, cause she can’t be bothered to play em herself. But that’s why I come to places like this! :smiley: Don’t worry Eva, there may not be many of us girls now, but there will be one day! Muahahahahaha…cue conspiracy!

Ummm… I dunno. Maybe it was because the first time I played an FF(FF6) I was getting bored of Donkey Kong and needed something new to play. And it stuck. But now I want to play Donkey Kong again… D’oh! I can’t win!

Example: FF9 was a cool game, but it just didn’t hook me. I think the problem is Beatrix is just way too f’n cool. You get to use Beatrix for a little while, but she never joins your party. And the problem with this is she’s like 23 times cooler than the PCs and after you’ve used her in a fight, having to go back to the others is pretty demoralizing. Going from the penthouse to the outhouse, so to speak. If I could trade in Quina, Amarant, and Eiko as PCs for Beatrix I would. (3 for 1, and I still think I’d be coming out way ahead).

Couldn’t agree with you more, Beatrix was the best character in that game- I’m all for the humanoid characters myself, Red XIII was the only non-humanoid I ever actually liked. However, it’s good to have beat-men every so often- Kimahri was probably the best example of this, I reckon they got the balance of FFX’s characters just right (if not the time devoted to each of them, I’m thinking that if they’d switched one of Auron/Tidus Yuna/Lulu dynamics the game would have rocked so much it would have been unreal)

i dopnt know about you guys but the reason i keep coming back to ff is i wait for another great bad guy such as sephiroth. But alasl my quest has fuckin failed.

The one time my sister ever watched me gaming, it turned into an argument over who’s the sexiest, Cloud or Seph. =P

I like FFs because they generally have awesome storylines. Their fun battle systems are a plus too.

Oh, and by the way, this is only my necessary post to keep my account from being deleted. I don’t plan on coming back, but it may happen from time to time.

Ooh, that’s a tough choice…my sis liked Cloud, till she saw him in the Aeris movie from the end of disk one. The conversation was:

Sis: UGH! Who’s that?! He’s UGLY!

Me: Uhh…that’s Cloud? You know, the guy you were obsessing over not so long ago?

Sis: Ewwwwww!

Me: Sighing Shallow!

Cecil and Terra are deep and compex characters, who trigger the coming of change in their worlds, while being changed by their journeys. FFs from IV to VI are the ones I consider the most interesting, as well as FF VII and FF X, although I haven’t seen much of the last two. The storylines are deep and always evolving, and there are always special things and places to find, which makes the games more challenging.

Nah, it’s Seph all the way. <3

Also, there’s a couple reasons I love FF games… the story lines, the character development, the long playing times, the fact that they aren’t fighting games [er, in the technical sense]. They can keep you occupied for such a long time, and offer so much to do in it. And the amounts of debate you can get on some topics [FF7 in particular] ^^

Yah, I guess Sephi’s better…the whole evilness thing…Cloud is nice, but unfortunately not as nice as Seph. Heheheheh…gets a glazed look in her eyes

We should hold a “Which FF Male Hero Is The Most Sexiest?” contest soon.

I agree on Seph.Long hair, long sword long…er…coat.Yes Seph all the way.

Uh, there was one before, I believe. Unfortunately, it turned into a debate about the morality of viewing porn, and then sex before marriage, and other stuff. The gorgeous fanart some people posted links to was, unfortunately, lost in the midst of the debate :frowning: and then the thread was locked ^^’

However, I feel in some cases, the question of the thread “Why do we like FF?” May have been solved (I’m kidding, ladies :wink: )

We’re not so shallow as to play the games JUST for the bishounen they have on display! I’m hurt and offended, Neb!

Ohhh…glad someone told me before I actually made a thread about it…bah I wanted to have some fun with it

Make one anyways. Last time, it was just a “Who you think’s sexiest?” not an actual contest like the one’s that’ve been going on lately. Now, we just need a list of all the males… ^^

BTW, what gender is white mage in FF1? I’ve always thought chick, but the smaller sprite looks like it has a beard. And I haven’t played origins, so I can’t check that =S

I prefer red mages :stuck_out_tongue: I don’t know why. Maybe it has something to do with 8-bit Theater? ^__^’

Anyways, I think white mages were originally intended to be male. But I’m unsure. I have Origins but the graphics have been enhanced, I think, so I don’t know what the original sprites looked like.
