i think 7 was definitely the most emotionally involving FF game. theres a lot of stuff going on in it that bears mentioning, so ill do a top 5:
Possible spoilers: highlight to view aeris getting killed is NOT on this list. i hated her. plus, that moment was ruined for me by someone anyway, so there was no shock value in it for me. 5- lucretia being sephiroths mother 4- discovering vincent's past and connection to hojo/sephiroth 3- learning about jenova's true origins and the fate of the ancients 2- discovering clouds past and his original purpose 1- understanding why clouds memories seemed false when they werent (the burning of nibelheim left a plot point that people often fail to understand, and they think its a huge plot hole) probably the best game ever made, storywise. -------------------- You watch the world exploding every single night Dancing in the sun, a newborn in the light Say goodbye to gravity and say goodbye to death Hello to eternity and live for every breath Your time will come... |

I'd like to say that FF 12 has shocked me to the core to the extent i wish to declare unlimited war, but i haven't played it yet...
But i say Possible spoilers: highlight to view FF8- icicle throught the chest. I was so haoppy then, it shocked me when he lived.... FF9- So there i am, whoop Kuja's rear, then WHAM! A flippin great Necron! They look alike too... Not a good thing for a Warhmmer 40,000 player...

FF6
Possible spoilers: highlight to view I was like, "Whoa! What's going on here!?" Then I hated Kefka so much, and from that point on he has been in my eyes the best FF villain ever...possibly the best period. When General Leo died, and then when they thought Shadow was dead. -------------------- --sbq92 <>< |

Aeris's storyline in VII is definitely the best final fantasy moment, and it would have been even more shocking if some idiot hadn't decided to put a screen shot of it on the back of the ( platinum version) game case!
Although since that storyline i feel that square haven't been trying too hard in the plot twist stakes, e.g if there's something big that can float/fly it will always crash spectacularly into the earth see the following for more examples http://project-apollo.net/text/rpg.html -------------------- oooooooOOO you guys'll like this http://cgi2.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?...46477&items=250 |

here's my list
Possible spoilers: highlight to view 1. Aeris dies in FF7 and Yuffie crying over it. (she's kind of cute when she cries like that) 2. Elko's Phoenix summon helped my party when they are all killed. 3. FF9 had a giant ball named Ozma who is the game's strongest monster. 4. FFT Gafgarion turned against me in a battle (bastard! betray me and you will die) 5. Algus: same goes for Gafgarion 6. FFT and Breath of fire 2 had people turning into monsters. for me, first it was some stupied "god" that turn people into monsters (BoF) and then Holy stones turning people into monsters (FFT) and that is just about it.

Possible spoilers: highlight to view I think the most shocking event was the destruction of the world of balance in FF6. One of the most moving moments for me however was at the end of FF6 when Interceptor doesn't understand why Shadow is forcing him to leave without him. The end of the world doesn't even make me blink anymore, but tragic moments like those still hit me everytime. This post has been edited by 1stclass on 9th June 2004 02:37 |

uhhh... this is obvious that FF7 mostly(i think) 'shocking moment' I don't want to use the spoiler thing... to lazy...
Possible spoilers: highlight to view Aeris got killed in disc 1 by that idiot Sephiroth holding out his hands like saying 'Thank you' in a rock concert 'Thank you FANS!' like this is something to be thanked about Aeris bein' killed what the [bleep]!!! and when Cloud had a date with Tifa/Aeris they did a play and I did it all wrong.Tifa and Aeris did something suprising in public... and uh Cid welcoming me to his small house(well it is small)yellin' at Shera for some of that Tea while us nice guests are here he'd be sayin' cuss words and he said to me 'sit your ass down on that chair, or my hospitality ain't good for ya?!' hospitality yeah... right bad second impression...even Cid is cool he acts stupid at some times... and Hojo is Sephiroth's father? Lucrecia's Sephiroth's mother kind off. and what if Vincent married Lucrecia which would make Vincent Sephiroth's step father!!! this is too much. shocking moment in FFX Possible spoilers: highlight to view It's my fault I started the spoiler thing...
