Favorite final fantasy game and why?

All the people who love FF7 the most, just curious roughly what age were you when you fell in love with it? I think I was too young to appreciate it on it's release so I never really thought highly of it.

FFVIII - I cried, I cried I cried I cried
Laguna and Julia, Squall (son of Laguna) and Rinoa (daughter of Julia) all bundled up in that one scene. So much feels. The ENTIRE theme of VIII is Love and this scene is the epitome. And in that one scene it explains why Squall is the way he is, and how far he developed. One of the most realistic well developed FF characters, no video game character, ever done. There are people like Squall who had difficulty interacting with others due to a hard upbringing, but have opened up thanks to the efforts of others. So touching

It's even more emotional if you believe the Rinoa = Ulti theory (I don't care what SE said there are way too many coincidences in VIII and Dissidia and SE are notorious for lying through their teeth)

But "Go sit down" and "I'm not your mom" no Squall that is a no no

And the Battle of the Gardens and the Assassination attempt, my goodness!

FFIX - I can't, I just can't... The feels!
Zidane spent the entire game helping others, sticking by them and protecting them! And at this pivotal moment, they were all there for him even when he pushed them away! It showed just how close knit they all became!
AMAZING cast! AMAZING development! A true FF experience and adventure!
Vivi and Garnet are one of the two most strongest characters ever.

Those 2 take #1 spot for me. The emotional connection I felt with the characters were off the charts

I don't think Rinoa was Julia's daughter, that would mean the Squall and Rinoa were partaking in incest..

Did you mean Ellone?

No. Remember Laguna loved 2 women. Julia first in Deiling, but due to circumstances they could never be together. She moved on with General Caraway and had Rinoa
Laguna met Raine in Winhill, fell in love, and had Squall

I wonder why so many people seem to love FFVIII. The character setup and combat system sucked too much for it to be good to me.

Should read this: Remembering the Orphan: FFVIII
The writer takes a critical in-depth look into VIII and you may look at the game differently after reading it
It's essentially a character study

Good call, shows how long it's been since I've played it XD

Guess it's time to dust off the PS2.

Thank you for posting that. Made my lunch break much better.
