Yes, thats right i said it.

I think ff series has some of the best stories told with least cliché compared to some series.I looked at a video of a lets play of silver lunar star or something like that, and it was very cliché.I really like a lot of different series, some more than others.

FF1 was great in gameplay, low on story, but you could still enjoy it massively.The music was really good for me, especially gurguru mountains.

FF2:First FF game to have a more complex told story, but it was still early and had limitations.It also had some new ideas for gameplay that would allow you to change your characters into different roles permanently from the start.I liked that idea.

FF3:First FF to have a job system, but its story was more poorly told than FF2.
FF4:It had a really well done story, and good characters.I get the msot out of cecil cause its all about redemption, and fighting for changing yourself.I agree that it does seem a little like star wars ish, but i still love it.
FF5:I have not much love for it, aside from the music and gameplay being enjoyable. I like bartz, galuf, lenna and our pirate friend.I did not however care for galufs granddaughter.

FF6:Still my favorite ff game because of the characters.I relate very well to sabim, edgar, cyan especially, locke and even setzer.I found kefka the perfect nemesis.He is the opposite of empathy, honor, loyalty and friendship.

FF7:While i don't like this game as much, there are some things i think are well done.For one thing, i think that the use to create monsters through mako, and even damaging the planet is a very interesting thing.What i don't like, is cloud strife and sephiroth and most of the main characters, except maybe tifa and cid.

FF8:I found squall interesting in that:He was a true introvert.He was afraid to reach out and share anything, because he was afraid of getting hurt.Seifer was the complete opposite, being outgoing and cannot stand being alone.He is also almost never takes anything seriously.What i found interesting, is how squall realises after the pep talk that by pushing people away, he is hurting them and himself, and making it harder to be a team.

FF tactics:FF tactics had bits and pieces which reminded me of real life leaders, and elitist rich people. Look at ramzas brother the king, he lost sight of everything and is concentrated on getting revenge on the enemy king from the other side,The other side is just as bad too.You also have algus, a rich elitist guy who thinks he is superior to delita, because he was born as a noble, and advised ramza to do the same.

FFX also has some interesting points, although i don't actually like the actual rate at which it plays.I find FFX to be far too slow paced, and i'm bored out of my mind.The characters didn't particularly do anything for me either, except maybe yuna, and jecht.I think its most interesting part, is talking about stereotypes, and religious stereotypes in society and belief systems.X is good y is bad, kill him, or:All group of x are bad.Stereotypes sometimes exist because of some half truths, but they are overblown to a massive proportion, like:Not all black americans are gangstas who wear gold chains and start gang warfares.Sure there are some, but its an exaggeration.Sometimes it is also hard to let go of your belief system, and things you were taught as a child in your belief system after learning it was a lie.Charles darwin had trouble letting go after discovering that evolution happens, and was devastated.Wakka was devastated after he learned that not only did his very religious sytem use maquina, but they also were evil dictators.
