The music keeps coming week in and week out, and I'm tickled pink that you guys and gals continue to listen to my video game music volume choices and writings.
This week is no different. We start off with a classic song from Final Fantasy IV. We then get a duo of Nintendo games with Kirby and the Rainbow Curse and Pilotwings Resort. Following that is a trip to Mount Mayhem with Beetle Adventure Racing. Finally, we take on Lex Luthor with LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes."
While FFVII ranks highly, there's more to the series than one game. Here's Chit Hot's picks for the seven best Final Fantasy characters.
A landmark RPG rich in personality, Final Fantasy IV took the series to the moon and back.
This was the game that got me to notice the series. 6 is the one that captured my heart and 7 was when it cemented it as one of my all-time favorite series. For me 4 - 9 are the best. 10... I can appreciate it and enjoy it, but it doesn't hold a candle to the classics. 12 is good too, but I can never finish it. 13... well, it's--it's a game. 15 starts off pretty strong, but then feels rushed and slapped together with duct tape and glue by the end.
I'm hoping 16 will blow away all expectations and really give us a game that rivals the classics. The trailers are doing a good job in making me think it can!
Yeah, I am similar. 4 and 6 are my favorites, with 7 and 10 next. Everything since 10 has gone downhill (not counting MMOs). I don't hold much hope for FFXVI, though it is very pretty.
Yea i'm with ya, there. Don't get me wrong, I think 7 Remake really restored my faith in Square Enix, but I miss the good ol' turn-based stuff.
@CrimsonWing69 Ah, FF7 Remake completely slipped my mind! I enjoyed that one, though I haven't touched Intergrade yet.
The theme of remorse & redemption still haunt me today. This game also introduced the famous Crystal Theme.

Created by Masahiro Sakurai and HAL Laboratory, the little pink puff-ball has made an appearance on every Nintendo console and handheld. While there are over 30 games with Kirby’s name attached, we’re only going to rank the 17 main storyline games."
