January 2, 2008, 6:03 PM

which final fantasy do u think had the best beginning, and which one do u think had the best ending? i thought x-2 had the best beginning (cause it ropes u in the best) even tho the game sucked, and ix had the best ending for me because it waz so sweet and all of the characters ended up happy (with the exception of vivi)

The beginning of FFX was the best for me because, well, it's the destruction of an entire city! And it looks amazing.

The best ending was, until AC came out, FFVII, because it left you guessing about what happens next, it was different because it just didn't spell everything out for you, you had to think and you could make up your own ending...and then AC ruined that

Best beginning was IV with Cecil on the Red Wings.

The best ending is IX because it makes you so happy

As much as I disliked this game it had the best beginning for me, and that is Final Fantasy VIII. Mostly because you see Seifer and Squall dueling with their gunblades.

For ending I have to say FFXII. It's hard for me to say why, but I did like the part with Balthier "Finding something better", and how everyone else went about their lives....heh guess I sort of contradicted myself for saying 'it's hard for me to say.'

From the ones I've beaten so far...

I'd say that X-2 had a nice intro and I loveddd X's ending no matter how sad it really was. <3.

FF7 had the best beggining. Foreshadowing the importance that Aerith would have later in the game and putting you right in the middle of a mission. FF7 did a good job of introducing it's main plot points (Cloud's connection to ShinRa, the struggle for the life of the planet, etc.) You pretty much get pumped up to see what happens next.
The best ending would have to be FF10. It was so bittersweet and satisfying at the same time. It's one of the best endings I've seen in a video game.

I really liked the beginning of X it was quality, I loved the music and Auron is just so badass
The ending was really sad -and I cried like a buffoon- but it was all wrapped up so well

I really liked the ending to VIII as well tho, the bit with Laguna choked me up >.< and it was just plain amusing when the credits were rolling xD

FFVIII had the best beginning, the fighting with seifer then the fire cavern and going to dollet.

FFX had the best ending, it was sad, but jecht was no longer sin and auron got to be sent.
and tidus reappears in the sea so its not all sad

Best Intro: VII first starts showing a random flower girl ( who later turns out to be not so random) but then you are thrown into other place in a huge city and really catchy music starts playing and soon you learn you have to do terrorist attack!? You suppose you are going to play with warriors of light but no you are the bad guy... or so it seems.

Best Outro: Hard one, I think VI:s since I like that book thing were each characters last name is revealed and everybody has some part in the ending. Even though world is still shitty and ruined but now it has hope to recover and you get almost happy ending. At least I was sad that many of the playable had lost someone very dear. VI is full of sad love stories but there is few nicely ending too.

I say it far too often, but my favourite opening is FFVIII. I turned it on for the first time and watched the FMV into with Liberi Fatali, and I think I fell in love with the game there and then. It's still jaw-dropping.

As for ending, I have really enjoyed all the endings to the FF games I have completed, but it's probably FFVIII again. I really like the Ending Theme, it gets nicely trippy at one point (lol), and I love the camcorder bit as the credits roll, it's a sweet way of finishing it all off. Plus that bit where one of the traditional FF music pieces kicks in (I can never remember its name) and the credits start always gets me.
