UM writes: "Final Fantasy is a popular franchise, I doubt that anyone would argue that. Though something comes bundled with every franchise, it’s fan base. The fans of Final Fantasy are very devoted and strong opinionated ones at best. I’ve heard the rants and raves of countless anonymous people on the internet telling other anonymous individuals which game was better, which character was better, and all the reasons why they are right and everyone else is wrong. As if you can’t have your own favorites and have to adhere to what everyone else likes. Funny how so many people will stand up for something they like with blind passion but won’t openly admit it if their reputation is on the line. I’ll give more credence to someone willing to protest for their favorite as long as they’re willing to show themselves in the light rather than hide in the ominous shadows of the internet. I bring all of this up because in March of this year IGN had a poll of the Most Popular Final Fantasy Character of All Time and the winning result was surprising to me. Out of over 150 characters, 2 million votes were cast and Cloud, from Final Fantasy VII, was crowned king.
I know that FFVII is one of the more popular releases for the franchise, but something seems skewed when you look at the results; half of the top 10 characters are from FFVII. So the big question is this – do you agree with Cloud Strife being the most popular character of all time, much less just Final Fantasy VII? I’m personally torn on this topic and here are a few thoughts as to why."
Many games have come and gone as gaming began its illustrious history in this world. So let's talk about the top 100 video games of all time!
Yeah. That’s the first I’ve seen it anywhere near #1.
Mario 64 is great but I wouldn’t put it over Mario World.
Sorry lol. I wrote the article but 5 of us voted for many different games and majority went on the list then we worked on the list. If it were just my personal top favorite we'd seen some xenoblade and star ocean as well as some others. Thanks for checking out it!
CGMagazine narrowed down some of the best reviews of the year to name our top 10 games, and ultimately CGMs Game of the Year 2024!
Nearly 27 years after the original game's release, Final Fantasy 7 superfan Jamie Colliver has finished his magnum opus: A shot-for-shot remake of the original PlayStation 1 game, created entirely via LittleBigPlanet 2. Colliver's remake reimagines the original game as a platformer, with every scene, every location, every line of dialogue, and every song from the game's OST painstakingly implemented .
He should have done it in Dreams though, the limitations of having done it in LBP are obvious.
ah Dreams had so much potential, I think they should have released it on PC. one can only dream about dreams sale and popularity on PC. PC has modding/creative crowd and I think it would have been a hit
My favorite anyway. Most interesting backstory imo and a likable personality, in the actual game anyhow. Not counting the movies/side stories etc
Everyone was badass in his own kind. They were all great.
It's the most iconic without a doubt. Even those who never played a FF game recognize Cloud Strife.
I honestly thought Sepheroth was. But the game has so many memorable characters...
well... Cait Sith sucks...lol, I hope we can all agree to that.
Bit of a herpaderp, the most popular character in the series period.
