Since the thread title doesn't specify the word game I will go with Advent Children as the best soundtrack to date for Final Fantasy because of the amazing remake of the fight theme with a piano during Tifa's Fight with Loz. I am also very very much liking the huge epic song during the fight with Bahamut (I'm assuming who it is). Since the songs are based on VII, I will go with that as my favorite game although XII, VIII and IX are amazingly close second/third/fourth.

I love the characters and their personalities mostly. Yes some are very annoying but that makes the not annoying ones much more likable. I also am very fond of the great stories told by SquareEnix. Not many have had bad stories (X-2 for example...swing and a miss). The gameplay and has gotten more interactive and more fast paced over time, which is always a good thing. In finishing I have always found the extreme amount of sidequests and extras thrown in by SE to be a great time waster to get away from the main plot from time to time.

I don't feel that they should do another movie based on the same universe as Final Fantasy (or anything in the past). I agree completely with Zero that an original story should be the possible focus of another movie if they (SquareEnix) were to try again. Completely independent from their franchises. However I did find Spirits Within very enjoyable to watch...I wouldn't say it was a good movie but it was enjoyable.

For the people who found it AC confusing and slow...Advent Children was a movie made SOLELY for fans of the francshise and not as a project that would be produced and distributed for the entire movie going population (that's what Spirits Within was for and it didn't do all that well). ALL aspects of the movie (AC) were based on the prediction that you had played and understood the storyline, characters, and abilities of the characters of Final Fantasy VII.

I also have a question to the people who were complaining about the lack of realism in Advent Children. Firstly it's called "suspension of disbelief".You knew it was a movie based on a video game with the word "Fantasy" in it? I'm pretty sure that if you didn't like the movie due to the lack of realism than you must really not like the game(s). Fireballs coming out of a person's hands, lasers shooting out of swords, huge meteors being stopped by glowing green lights, and talking red dogs aren't exactly within the realm of modern physics either. It surprises me that members of a Union dedicated to the Fans of Final Fantasy are commenting on the realism of anything.

I have been playing Final Fantasies since their inseption in 1987. I was 6 yrs. old when the first Final Fantasy was released and my parents let me go to Toys 'R' Us and spend my hard earned allowance on buying a new NES and Final Fantasy. I have loved the series since then and even to this day I dust off the old NES and pop in the Original Final Fantasy for a good days worth of nostalgia. Old School!

I don't think I could nit pick something I like as much as FF. I think people who nit pick have expectations about it being bad from the get go. If you look hard and long enough you will eventually find something bad to say about it (whether it is there or not). There will always be camera issues, speech issues, translation problems but it's not our job to feel compelled to whine and complain about it to people who have no control over it. If you don't like it...become a tester and work with a Localization office. I feel it is my duty as a major fan of the series to find as much to say about what I like instead of wallowing on the negative. The more you find to like, the more you can relay that enjoyment to others and get even more people loving the series. Nit picking is for people who want there to be problems with something.

I don't think FF XIII and Versus XIII will be the saving grace for the PS3 but it will contribute to some more hardcore fans out there. So in answering...No, I don't think they will be the sole reason PS3 will do alright. They will help sell some consoles once more info starts coming out on them but for now it's nice to watch the same trailers over and over.

Been there...done that...have the Godslayer Badge...it is worth it...(Sky Pirate Den emblem/good rewards from Montblanc/key item for strongest weapon in game). It only took me a meager 9 hours to do too.

I'm one of the lucky few that has been blessed with patience and the ability to not get mind-numbingly bored doing the same thing over and over...#1 all the way!

Fansites, Game Informer, and the Gamepot.com website is about all I use to find info on the series and Square Enix themselves.

That Robot Chicken episode of FF7 was the FUNNIEST thing I have ever seen. Also the "1-10" was amazingly well done ("Headstrong" has always been one of my fav songs).
