What is the part that you like most about Final Fantasy games, or the part that you think makes it so awesome. There are many components to great games/franchises.

Is it....

Story

Characters

Gameplay Elements

Graphics (Final Fantasy is always pushing the hardware of the console it's released on)

Music (Nobuo Uematsu is the man)

maybe something else?

I don't think they're the second coming as some do. However, the games do seem to have a sense of quality with each of the parts that make up games. I would call FF titles solid games, you'll love them or hate them... but they're usually well made.

All of the above. The gameplay is always awesome. The music is always memorable and remembered , ie chocobo theme, main theme, one winged angel. The stories are engrossing and deep with nice twists. The graphics are always cutting edge at the time of their release.

It is overall addicting. However, FF12's story was a serious rip off of Star Wars. I liked it still:)

Yeah, the guy's name was Hitoshi Sakimoto.......and I agree with the character development and story being bad. The combat was great though.

FF12 is a AAA here and a AAA on gamerankings. It also sold over 3 million. I wouldnt call it like the worst one.

Nothing. It's just a slightly above average game series in it's genre with high production values and is marketed well so everybody buys it. It's similar to Halo.

Unfortunately good JRPGs are few and far in between which is why I think some people don't like Final Fantasy, because they think it's a lot like the rest of the crap.

Story is too overrated. I don't give a damn about who likes who. I just want to upgrade.

I just know a FF game is going to be a great game overall. Main series that is, and the FFT series... I like them. Personally, I don't hold them up to any holy grail or pedestal.

Same here, I can find nothing good about the series (to me) and that fact that I have to listen to some super nerds FF fan fics in english class makes me hate it even more.
