    I personally love the final fantasy series. Theres really nothing to hate in the first 10. They have such a well developed story and combat system you just fall in love and connect with the characters.

    Other than that I've only played 1,4,7,8,9,10,11, X-2, and 12.

    All of them were great! 10 honestly being my favorite over 7 just because I connected more with the characters. and 11 IMO wasnt bad for the first month but after that it just emphasizes teamwork way too much man.

    I really hate them. I played maybe three of them and did not get the story line. It is a hard game in some of the places, too.
    All in all, it sucks ass.

    Final Fantasy has the best storylines I have ever seen. Yes, I like Final Fantasy.

    Anyhow, if only BUNGiE learned to create as good as storylines as Final Fantasy, they'd be twice as good as they are now.

    Final Fantasies 7-9 were amazing imo, by far the best PSX games in existence, but the others never really grabbed me. I never really fell for the preceding games games, and with the loss of the world map in 10 I was quite disenchanted. 10 was still quite a good game, I liked the sphere grid system, but the world map was a central aspect of FF for me. When 12 changed the battle and encounter system so drastically I basically abandoned the series. Square Enix seem to have the strangest mentality about developing the series, to my mind getting rid of all the best aspects on some basis of bringing the games up to date, yet keeping the aspects that are really holding the series back in comparison to the newer competitors, like say Oblivion in the RPG genre. That typifies Japanese game development imo, a refusal to embrace the advances made in US/European games yet an abandonment of the best aspects of their own style, thus leaving a bit of an empty husk in gaming terms. Of course this is all subjective, these things are what I liked about old FF games, and many others will love the new things introduced and will have hated what Square Enix chose to abandon, but it still seems like a bloody minded approach for a developer if you ask me.

    As I said, I loved 7, 8 and 9, I think they were truly fantastic games, and 8 definitely stands as my favourite even though I love the others. I love the junctioning system of 8 so much, plus the whole aesthetic and theme, I've clocked that game like 8 times (funny that :p) so far, and am currently playing through it on my PSP once again, about to go and fight Adel right now, my 3 party members are all level 100 and most of my GFs are too, I'm working on them.


    I have to disagree completely with both points.

    1. I think the FF storylines were far from the best ever, they were in depth sure, but the writing was just a joke at times. The cheap workarounds used to explain away the plot were just funny to me, and I actually loved the games for the complete opposite reason: the gameplay. I loved exploring the world map, training my characters and really squeezing the most out of the respective stat system in each game, plus the expansive side quests were awesome. I also loved playing through the main plot, not because of the writing, but because of the gameplay experience, pure brilliance if you ask me. Didn't you find the incredibly long cut scenes in the games just a little boring at times? Like the basketball court cut scene in Trabia Garden in 8, and the dreaded Kalm hotel scene in 7. I hated those, just an exercise in pressing X repeatedly for me, especially once I knew what they were going to say, but even the first time I played I hated them.

    2. The Halo story is epic if you ask me, and the problem with the H3 Campaign is exactly that, it's too much about the story and feels a little too much like a film rather than a game at times. I'd actually say that if they put more effort in to making an expansive and less vehicle heavy campaign then I'd enjoy it more, but that said, I still think its the best shooter campaign ever overall, just because it's Halo and nothing will ever top the Halo game mechanic in my eyes.

    I've never actually played FF, but if it's anything like pokemon, i'm sure i'd like it. Oh and I played kingdom hearts 2 so thats kind of similar.

    Most of the Final Fantasy games are, but a couple (FFX, Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time) have very well done storylines.

    Also, Halo 3 story sucked. Period. One, they make Key's death pathetic, two, Sargeant Johnson dies pathetic. Seriously, the storyline sucked. Everything else was great though.
