Humor site cracked.com has an amusing read on Final Fantasy. I'm pretty sure it's meant to be taken tounge-in-cheek. Snippits:
Some of the pictures killed me. Such as the diagram and the chocobo.
Games in the Final Fantasy series are somewhat diverse, but tend to be about a band of adventurers led by an effeminate male who seek to overthrow a corrupt overlord, only to discover that the real problem is an insane time-traveling sorceress, or that the planet is leaking life energy, or something similarly left field. Then everyone goes off and fights a big epic battle in space. It's always in space.

I remember Barret being especially funny in it.
