I really like the music from 10 -- I really like the arrangements of it on OC Remix.

+1

I had fun with 12, but the older games are my favorites. IV owns in my book.

Nobuo Uematsu is the reason I started to play Final Fantasy in the first place. I heard the soundtrack from VIII, bought the soundtrack from VIII, and started playing any of the games I could get my hands on. For better or worse, the music is still my favorite part of Final Fantasy.

OC Remix can be hit or miss, but the hits are absolutely amazing.

i really liked 8 and its soundtrack. I WAS working on 12 but my memory card got corrupted so i lost everything. I liked the story and events in 12. It brought up moments that are a sign of a great game. gooood times....

I haven't played an FF that I liked since VI (III in the US). FF X killed me with its ridiculously long cutscenes, that were beautifully rendered but otherwise lame (bad voice acting, meandering plot, etc). But the first 6 are golden.

X and IV are the only ones I own, and I got bored with X for that very reason. The music was good, but I still prefer Uematsu's older work.

I totally gave up collecting the series after 10. I'm now mostly an Old Skool FF fan.

I stopped liking them after the first one. But FF isn't exactly my cup of tea. I'm more into being able to choose classes, races, normal-non-overly-sized-and-stupid-looking swords. I also like FF tactics for the playstation, until i found the whole "preacher" skillset crap, and i despised it after that.

I loved FF tactics (i love tactical games). Another good one with similar gameplay (lacking of the preacher job class) is Sukoden Tactics. Also, i believe Fire Emblem for cube is similar (i own it but haven't gotten around to playing it so i'm unsure still).

they are rereleasing the Tactics game (FF) for PSP soon--I might get it since the game had Cloud in it as a secret character, how could that not be cool?

i purchased a N64 specifically for the FF franchise, only to have them go over the PS1! I was upset! I loved all the ones from NES and SNES but never played one on PS1 or PS2.

Did you seriously ask that, Steve?

Am I seriously about to respond?

If Advent Children gets included in your list of acceptable FF sources, I would have to go with Tifa:

Lightning from FF 13----I like female characters who are just as bad @$$ as their male counterparts---to me it is cool to have a heroine hehe (HEAVENLY SWORD!!!)---Yuna is a close second--she isn't as overt bad-a but she is a cool, complex character and really tied the whole FF-X saga together well.

Darn. Looks you'll just have to play through it again.

I haven't tried out KH2 -- I'd really like to play through it though, as I enjoyed the first one so much.

Yeah... i may play the first one before i restart 2 though. Even though the intro video for KH2 is a spoiler, i'd still like to know what happened in it.
i have too many games and i just started Ratchet & Clank 3 (amazing game)

I'm not talking about English dubbed,I'm talking about the Characters appearing to speak english{ie the english words match the lips}.
