It is because the original creator was going to retire after he made the game.

What?

The guy who made Final Fantasy 1 was going to retire after he made the game, hence it was his "final" fantasy game.

That's an unusual way to name a game.

Well, Ive only played two Final Fantasy games properly.

 

FF7 is my favorite game of all time, and I still play it now. The storyline is something else, and the characters are great. Except for Aeris of course. I usually tell her shes the village drunk, but she actually laughs at that which means she thinks Im joking. I am nasty to her at every chance I can get. Mwahahaha

 

Advent Children was brilliant, couldnt have been better. They got the voices right even though there were no voices in FF7! I dont really know how thats possible but it just is. The only thing I would change about the film is that Barret wouldnt look quite as clumsy, he should have done Big Shot on Bahamut or something. Clouds set of swords are brilliant! Im an aspiring writer and I got a lot of ideas from FF7, both the game and film. Love it

 

FF10 was also great, but doesnt compare to 7 for me. Still though, 10 brought an epic scale to the game, what with being able to break HP, MP and damage limits. Epic.

Aren't you forgetting the amazingness that was FF6?

7 was the earliest I played! What was 6 like?

6 was awesome. Better than 7 imo. Just download Snes9x (an emulator) and then the FF6 rom to play it.

6 was awesome.  A great storyline and gameplay.  I also loved the breaking of limits if FF10

 

 

Shame I didnt discover Final Fantasy until year 7 of highschool.

 

Me and my bro got a Playstation for Chrismas 1996 with FF7, first time we'd come across a game like that, and it blew our minds. Funny though, at first we thought it was crap, because right at the beginning you get to this elevator and whatnot, and we spent ages trying to find the button to go down and we really couldnt find it. We sacked the game off because of it!

 

Anyone who has played the game will know its the easiest thing to find in the world. I laugh every time I think about that because we condemned the game because we couldnt find some stupid button. Yes, a lot of swearing occurred then, but we tried it again a few days later and found it. The shame.

 

Anyway, I could really rant and rave about Advent Children. Has everyone seen it? If not, and you like FF7, you need to see it. I love it when films are made out of old games or cartoons, and Advent Children is definitely high up on my list. The exaggerations they put in there, like Clouds swords that fit together or his massive bike with sword compartments, fit perfectly. Crisis Core is obviously heavily influenced by Advent Children and I like that a lot because of it. For those who know, the training simulation scene with Angeal, Genesis and Sephiroth is excellent. That trio is brilliant, its a shame you dont get to see them in action together.

I really should flay FF7 sometime.  Although I did beat Sephiroth in Kindom Hearts ;)

 

From my limited experience, Cloud is cool, but that's about all I know.

I'm a final fantasy nut.  I BELIEVE I have 100% all of them that are available to the western market (I get confused with the FF6 and below...)

 

Also, I'm one of those few crazies that thinks FF8 was a great game.

FF8 agreed but I didn't like 12 that much the battle system just wasn't for me

Really?  I like it better than random battles.

Really?  I like it better than random battles.

 

Play Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross if you don't like random battles. And Zack Fair is definitely cooler than Cloud.

I did.  But when we tried to order Chrono Cross, it failed.  And then we just forgot about it.

No matter, I have it on my computer...

The game is for computer too?

PS1 emulator

Gotta disagree with that one myself. In Crisis Core I was gutted that Zack wasnt "serious" enough for my liking. He looks so cheesy it irritates me whenever you see his face. Thats just his personality though. I like the image you get when you first see Angeal, the powerful silhouette with a white light behind him, with the legendary Buster Sword on his back. The word paladin jumped to mind when I first saw that bit.

I suspected that.  I had Super Nintendo for the computer which is where I played FF and Chrono Trigger.
