I've been wondering about what other people thought for a long time. Sometimes you get into a battle or conversation, the music starts, and the scene just sends a shiver up your spine. A scene that just screams 'epic', over all the other events.

My example and my favorite epic FF moment: The defense of Fabul castle in FF IV. The music gets frantic, Cecil and company with the castle guards, fighting with you as you're being driven back...

Sometimes events like these can be even better than the final battle of the game itself. Share your favorite 'epic' moment, I am curious

Probably the Floating Continent. The music, and everything.

Going into the final dungeon in FFIII, IV, FFVI, and FFVII.

Yeah, there are alot of 'em.

The Silver Dragon assault in FF9, right before heading to Memoria. I always wish the music continued into the Nova Dragon fight, though.


Guh... and how can I forget the "You're Not Alone" sequence, too. The music in that fight squence while Zidane is alone has got to be one of my favorite pieces in any FF game.

In FFVIII, I remember two special moments that I consider "epics" moments:

Possible spoilers: highlight to view

When Master NORG tells Squall and the party that Edea and Cid are actually married!, I was really shocked when NORG said this. And when everyone find out that they were childhood friends in Trabia Garden, and the secondary efects of GF..

In FFIX, when Zidane discover his true nature and his meaning of life in Pandemonium. This is really and epic moment in a Final Fantasy, that show a lot of emotions, from confusion to friendship...I like that theme "You're not alone!" from this scene, too.

--------------------

"Its no cheating if you don't get caught"

+ Tellah vs. The Big Bad Dude (NOT the Spoony One (duh))
+ Galuf vs. Another Big Bad Dude
+ Kefka ****ing with the "Balance"
+ final battle of FFVI
+ The Plate Dropping on the Bar

--------------------

Check the "What games are you playing at the moment?" thread for updates on what I've been playing.

You can find me on the Fediverse! I use Mastodon, where I am @[email protected] ( https://sakurajima.moe/@glennmagusharvey )

I got a lot of 'em

Escape from the Factory in FFVI
FFVII Midgar Raid
FFX Bevelle Raid
FFIV Fabul Battle
FFIX Steiner and Beatrix scene
FFVI Battle for Terra
FFVI go to the Floating Continent
Locke's comments when he rejoins in the WoR
Cloud's daring escape
Raid on the Shinra building
Attack on the Giant of Bab-Il
Battle on the ships with Zeza
Operation Mi'Hen
Dollet Landing
Escape on the Big Bridge
Figaro's transformation when Kefka visits
Duels, particularly Cecil vs Kain and Squall vs Seifer, but Tellah vs Edward for humor value.

And most importantly, Garland threatening to knock you down. -CSM

Really I would have to say the most epic moment is

Possible spoilers: highlight to view

During IX after Garland takes Zidane's soul (or so he says) and the whole group comes to bring him back to his senses, showing the support of friendship. (can't really remeber if Garland takes his soul or not, benn a while since I played)

Edit

Also when Cait Sith sacrifices himself at the temple of the ancients, that is until Cait Sith II comes along, it wasn't very epic afer that.

Those two are awesome, along with


FFI: Fighting Garland and Chaos
FFII: None, seriously.
FFIV: The Giant of Babel scene
FFV: It may be my least favorite entry in the series, but Clash on the Big Bridge (Especially the song)
FFVI: Too many to think of
FFVII: When The krew is going into Midgar at the end of Disc 2
FFVIII: Many to think of
FFIX: Look above at the quote
FFX: When the crew is going to save Yuna from Seymour (The Wedding Scene)
FFX-2: None really, except when the summons break out
FFT: Too many to think of
FFTA: None, seriously.

my favourite final fantasy epic moment is at the end of FFX when tidus and jecht slap eachothers hand.

--------------------

"There is no good, there is no bad. Just perspective and opinion." -Squall

FFVIII's remembrance scene in Trabia Garden as well as Squall and Rinoa alone in the cockpit of the Ragnarok with "Eyes On Me" playing in the background. I will also add the intro of VIII as well.

In FFIX, when Zidane reunited with his friends after he stumbles through Pandemonium when he discovers the truth of his origins that he had been searching for his entire life. Also when Kuja destroys Terra in his Trance form in the most visually-impressive scene in the PSX era of FF!

FFT's awesome intro and ending.

--------------------

"Thought I was dead, eh? Not until I fulfill my dream!"
Seifer Almasy


"The most important part of the story is the ending."
Secret Window


"Peace is but a shadow of death."
Kuja

FF Tactics when Vormav tells Ovelia she isn't a princess.

Tactics again when Ramza and Co attack the Algus at Fort Ziekdan(sp?)

This is a webcomic and gaming blog where I rant about nonsense. Enjoy.

That bit was great wasn't it?

Mine would be the scene in the Lifestream with Cloud and Tifa. Genious.
FFVII players wil know why.

I don't really know if it can be labeled as "epic" or not, but certainly in FFVII...

Possible spoilers: highlight to view

Right after Sephiroth kills Aerith you get into a battle with JENOVA. Only the music in the background isn't the JENOVA battle theme or even the regular boss theme. Instead it's her theme. It sort of throws you at first, not really the hottest battle music in the world, but it's pretty epic in signifying one of the biggest plot twists in the game.

--------------------

Final Flash - Not updated since 2004, but still more music than a giant purple octopus can hold!

id say on X

In the end, it boils down to two simple choices. Either you do or you don't.
