[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 4606582, member: 2067"] Started with FF Tactics. Favorite is FFIV. :) But really, I've got a soft spot for many parts of the various FF games. #1 had that "twist" at the beginning and the end that established a bit of the mind-bending philosophy that would become staple. #2 had a pretty epic plot, really, and a lot of drama and death. I think it was mostly marred by a pretty annoying (and abuse-prone) advancement system. #3 was awesome for the way the party discovered new worlds, dramatically expanding on the game every few hours until it spiralled into something HUGE. #4 I'm partial to because of the strong themes and the sense of loss and redemption that happens with many of the characters. #5 has that "new worlds new vistas" feel that 3 did pretty well, and the job system again, but I was a fan of a few of the characters (Faris's whole arc is very interesting) #6 has that wonderfully expansive cast and the series' first really awesome villain. #7 has another awesome villain and a certain famous death scene. #8 does a surprisingly nice job with the "memory loss" and "time travel" mind screws. #9 has another great cast of characters and a really evocative setting. #10 is gloriously plotted. #11 again, has a surprisingly strong back story....it just takes forever to get to it in typical MMO mode. :) #12 makes me feel part of a living, breathing world more strongly than the ones before it. And even though Vaan wasn't supposed to be the main character, it lends to that feel very nicely: you're not a great character, you are observing great characters in action. [/QUOTE]
