Doesn't matter which game, which moment, or anything. Just ONE moment that sticks with you. ONLY one! A moment that you think of when you you hear "Final Fantasy" or a moment that has been relevant to your life some how. If you can find a link to the moment on youtube or something, post that too! Also, say why it's your favorite moment! Lots of exclamation points!

For me, it would have to be...well...this:


Squall: How about this...I'll be here...

Rinoa: ...Why?

Squall: The reason why you couldn't find me was because we haven't promsied yet.

Rinoa: Promised...?

Squall: I'll be waiting for you. If you come here, you'll find me. I promise.

Rinoa: I'll be her, too. It's a promise! Thanks, Squall! Next time we'll meet for sure!



From 7:50 to 14:13 is the bulk of it. Now, I played this game for the first time when it came out. I was maybe...9-years-old. Then, this part didn't have a huge impact on me. However, when I started middle school, I met someone who reminded me a lot of Rinoa, and I realized I was a lot like Squall. Finding this out, I decided to play through the game again and saw that this game had really connected with me in ways I didn't understand. Almost every interaction Rinoa had with Squall happened with me and this girl...and still happens. From her asking me to dance, me not saying anything, her trying to trance me into doing it, and me just flat out saying I couldn't dance, to making a special promise with her (A promise that's very similar to what occurred in the game), and even her yelling at me, calling me a pessimist, and telling me that she loves me, all of which happened in the game as well. So, yeah. This game holds a very special place in me, as she does.

The ending of FFCC: Ring of Fates. Greatest  comeuppance of the villain I've ever seen, and the scene when Yuri starts to die and Chelinka sacrifices herself to save his life was the closest a game has ever brought me to crying. And yes, I've played FFVII, but Aerith's death didn't really phase me. It just made me upset that I wouldn't have a white mage any more.

That was quite emotional. Thanks for bringing a not-so-noticed scene like that up.

For me, I'd have to say if Cid ends up dying in FFVI if you don't end up getting him the right fish. I guess I was never really moved by it before, but it strikes me now if I really think about it.

 Yuna - *Nods Head*

 Tidus - Im sorry i coudnt show you Zanakand.....*Looks at Yuna*.....Goodbye

 Rikku - Were gonna see you again?..

 Yuna - *Runs towards Tidus and goes right through him and falls on the floor*

 Kimhari - Yuna !

 Yuna - *Gets back up*  ' I Love You '

there are alot of emotional scenes in Final Fantasy X and X-2

I also love the kissing scene with Tidus and Yuna.

The bit that probably made me cry the most though was actually 1000 words in X-2, I think it's a mixture of the moving song and the images of Tidus and Yuna/Shuyin and Len that really grab me and shake me up.

I think Comedy wise though when Ultros is trying to ruin the opera...well anything with Ultros in

I also love the sword fight play moment at the star of FFIX, that was really awesome

urgh too many moments :P

Bartz poking and kicking the turtle then the turtle turning out to be the shaman

Ultros, Gau, Locke, Kefka, anything from them

When everyone plays Squall a song is pretty amazing too or beasting T-Rexaur at a crazy low level just because you can :D

Ohh, this is damn difficult...but I think Final Fantasy X's "The Spring" scene takes the victory. There aren't many places that would be as beautiful as the Macalania Woods!

Hi all:

 

Just passing through and noticed this awesome thread so I thought i might contribute.  

 

The finally for FFXI really moved me, which is odd because as you know it is quite a logical and maybe even cliche ending, but there was just something about it that I found profoundly satisfying.  I think sometimes stories are meant to end a certain way, and in this age of twist endings and glorified melancholy, it was very cool to see the good guys win in an old fashioned way.

 

Just my two cents.

"Hm"..

There are multiple choices, it's almost impossible. However, there is one moment that is significant to my life and that is the battle with Safer Sephiroth in FF:VII, but not only that! It is the theme that follows along with the battle.. Yes, "One-Winged Angel". It may seem miniscule to other avid fans of the series, but to me, that is my absolute favourite moment: the introduction of the "One-Winged Angel". :D

I actually kinda agree with this. You get done fighting ugly big green bird Sephiroth then the screen goes black and all of a sudden you hear the "dun dun dun" of the song. I thought it was a pretty cool.

I got plenty favorite moments in FF but perhaps my all time favorite is when Garnet cut her hair in FFIX. The feeling watching it was so nostalgic.

It's a tie. Space scene in FFVIII SquallXRinoa moment. You wanna impress a girl? Jump into outer space to be with her despite almost zero percent chance of being rescued. Other one is opening scene of FFX where tidus is playing blitzball and zanarkand is being attacked by sin with "Otherworld" playing in the background. Just... O_O
