The Final Fantasy games & characters that holds a special place in your heart.

[GiGAHEART]

For me, there are several favourites for sure. Probably more than half of the entire series.

But there's a very, very select few that I value & means so much to me not only as a gamer but as person.

Though sometimes polarising, I ultimately believe the FF games always strive to give us a positive light on their stories with hope, that you can overcome things together & if you stick around long enough till the end you'll see that after that whole journey, it was worth it.


FINAL FANTASY IX

This masterpiece should be in the Louvre.

Its sense of wonder, character development, world-building, narrative twist & turns, depth of gameplay systems, complexity & content... I'd probably ran out of adjectives here just to honor such work of art.

It's quite simply the crowning achievement of Sony's first ever videogame console in my humble opinion.

To this day I remember the countless hours I've spent just exploring the city of Lindblum's nook & cranny, challenging every guy I can talk with in the Tetra Master card game (itself a game within the game, a deep gameplay feature most people forget FF popularized along with other mini-games), digging every freakin Chocobo chests in FOUR CONTINENTS (yes you read that right lol), mastering abilities from seemingly hundreds of weapons & accessories, etc. along with tons of other stuff the 4-disc PS1 game is jam-packed with.

In conclusion, I'll just simply say this; to those of us who've experienced FF9 already, if you know, you know

If you haven't yet?
Stop reading this.
Go get it & play.
Period.

Because yes it is THAT good.


SEIFER ALMASY (from FFVIII)

I couldn't be more obvious can I

Seriously though I just relate so much to the guy for various reasons like personality-wise & such like being passive-agrressive, stubborn, competitive, often times misunderstood etc.

He's not a bad guy obviously but he's just... Different. And difficult to get close with.

Also IMO has the best videogame weapon ever made his Gunblade the Hyperion (fight me lol)!

Share yours fellow FF fans!

Thanks!

Wanna give a shout-out to Noctis (and the boys). Final Fantasy XV came out when I was in college and had a ton of time. It has its faults but between the soundtrack and gut-wrenching story is an experience I won't ever forget.

I sometimes have the instrumental version of Somnus playing when I work

Dude I'm with you because FFXIV is a legit top 5 for me.

Gameplay & the open world is a joy to explore with tons of secrets, sidequests etc.

In many ways it's actually what FF used to do during PS1 days except this time with XV it now comes with tech because they capture that sense of wonder & the feeling of finding stuff without guides.

Like the Angelus & V2 suits lol (I got 12 of those but how many do you got bro?).

I never understood all the nonsensical online hate it got, even before the Royal Edition update (never played that version myself tho).

To me it was the GOTY of that year EASILY & a top 5 or 10 PS4 game in anyone's book certainly.

P.S. Why did Noc had to "you know" at the end tho Your thoughts on the ending Jiv?
