    [Poll] How Satisfied are You in the Direction of the Final Fantasy Series in General?

    Neutral. I don't like the whole Lightning Saga crap they're spewing out at the moment, even though I enjoyed FF13 and 13-2 (though they pale in comparison to earlier titles). I do hope that once they've wrapped up Lightning's soap opera they manage to pull themselves right again. I would like to...

    Who is the most frustrating boss battle?

    Carry Armour from VII has always been the bane of my playthroughs...I hate it when it picks up one of your characters and swings them around, not to mention the massive Lapis beam attack that does over 1600HP damage!

    Daughter killed for looking the wrong way

    Perhaps those cultures should just go and kill off ALL their women for these ridiculous reasons and subsequently die out... As a woman, reading this article makes me even more intensely grateful that I was born into Western society. I'd take skinny-pressure, processed food and drone jobs over...

    Wow, the early FF games are bad.

    Erm, no. Dunno what FF5 you played but it certainly isn't the one we all know. When do you go to Hell in FF4? It doesn't sound like you even paid enough attention to the storylines to make a judgement. I"m not trying to say that the early FFs were masterpieces in terms of story. They...

    The creepiest part of Final Fantasy 7?

    As a kid I found the face in the Gi cave (before you fight the boss) really creepy, especially when it changes into that weird smile just before the fight begins...I'm still to this day creeped out by the Yin Yang monster: the way it moves and falls backwards is just so wrong it makes my skin...

    Racism for Children

    Thank you!! We've been shooting white zombies to pieces for 4 games and now suddenly because we're shooting only black zombies in AFRICA it's racist? Let's also just conveniently forget your very black companion who is ALSO shooting black zombies? FFS...

    Garnet or Eiko?

    In battle I preferred Eiko, as a character I couldn't stand her, and found it just slightly disturbing that a 6 year old child becomes infatuated with a 16 year old guy...I know it was supposed to be about her finding companionship and a family but presenting it as a desire for a romantic...

    Lightning Returns General Discussion Thread

    I just find it strange how Fabula Nova Crystallis has now been transformed into "The Lightning Saga". FFXIII for a start was barely even about Lightning - the game was centered around Serah's fate and how all the characters become entwined around what happened to her. The stories of FNC were...

    Pop music: trash?

    80s pop is my guilty pleasure! But I couldn't care less for the "artists" on the radio today, except for a very select few (Florence and the Machine being one). Gone are the days when pop music was made with real singers like Freddie Mercury and with real musicians, not shallow images.

    You've Been Doing It Wrong

    Same here. I also pronounced epitome as "epi-tome" instead of "epi-toe-me". I cannot tie shoelaces correctly. My sister taught me to tie them in bunny ears as a child and I have never been able to grasp the "proper" way to do it. I am also unable to use a knife and fork correctly. I hold my fork...

    Relationship titles; why do we need them?

    I've been involved with a fellow for about 4 months now, and we have yet to place a title on our relationship. There are many factors that have led to our decision to not attach a title to it, and at first it bothered me terribly, seeing as a sign of non-commitment, but over time I began to...

    Final Fantasy 13 ( 13-2 ) and Final Fantasy 7 similarities? ( SPOILERS)

    Bear in mind that FF1, 3 and 5 also had very similar themes: FFI: Band of 4 light warriors save the world from darkness. FFIII. Group of kids become light warriors save the world from darkness. FFV: Four random people are selected to be the warriors of light and save the world from darkness...

    [01/08] New Final Fantasy XIII game has entered production

    Could it be that SE simply cannot come up with any more new FF universes and storylines and therefore are simply sticking with what they've been building up already? FFXIII has extensive lore and mythology that was barely touched upon in the original game, and only one figure was expanded upon...

    Irrational fears

    I am absolutely and utterly terrified of centipedes. If I see one I literally run away screaming. If I see them in a movie/TV show I screech and hide my head under a cushion/blanket. Once I found one in my bathroom, I ran outside, locked the house and phoned my boyfriend begging him to come home...

    Do you love Zack or do you hate him? Express your feelings about one of the greatest FF heroes here!

    In FFVII Zack is made out to be an arrogant womaniser who basically just up and left Aerith, hell even on their way back to Midgar Zack referred to her like she was just a place to stay at, even going so far as to complain about Elmyra. Yes, he did help Cloud escape and protected Cloud before he...

    FF Goofs and Oopsies

    FFVII - Accidently giving Safer Sephiroth a Megalixir. Happily running into Emerald weapon on disc 2 to see what the big swimming thing was. Deciding to explore the Gelnika. FFVIII - not reviving your party members quick enough during the final battle.:wtf: FFXIII - deciding to try max out other...

    Best Final Fantasy Cover Art?

    FFII - have always loved this logo, especially the pose of the Emperor. FFVIII - my all-time favourite. I think it's Rinoa's nails...or the moment when they finally fall into the logo's embrace and you just go "aaaahhh" FFX - definitely one of the most well-thought out logos, representing Yuna's...

    FF Music Absolute best song of the Final Fantasy series!

    Theme of Love - an epic piece of game music for its time, and its many adaptions and orchestrations don't detract from its original beauty. Terra's Theme - Another powerful and emotive piece, whether its midi, piano, orchestral or vocal. You're Not Alone - Real earworm, but it fits the scene in...

    FFXIII-2 XIII-3: To be or not to be? (SPOILERS)

    Wish they'd done that with FFX

    Serious Now this is where I thought I'd draw the line.

    Wow, I am overwhelmed by these responses. Thank you so much for your input, everybody...I apologise for the late reply but I have been allowing things to settle and see what happens next. I think that is where the timing of our relationship was just wrong...we both still have way too many...
