Jloostgamer said: Hey, I'm a big Final Fantasy Fan, I've got FFI, FFII, CC:FFVII, FFT:TWOTL and i'm gonna get FFVIIAC. So, if anyone is a big fan too, tell me!;););) oh, al btw, all for psp;)

Vespene said: Hmmm that puny roster of played FF games isn't nearly as expansive as to call yourself a fan. And BTW, no one is allowed to use a Kefka avatar without beating him in VI. =P

Jloostgamer said: i beat him cos i played the game for 8 months!!! it was a friend's game for (i dont know which console again)

ShiftyHaze said: im kind of and FF fan but cant wait to get FF13;)

Zuly said: I own every Final Fantasy game to date.;P Also, bow down to Kefka guys!

Earthmanbrick said: HA, I beat Kefka's jester twice already. He's still the best FF badguy, mainly because he's so charismatically evil.:D

IzanagiX said: Get FFVIIAC complete instead! it has more scenes, better quality and FF13 demo! what more could an FF fanboy (like me) ask for? (...oh wait I just thought of one more thing... BRING THE DEMO TO EU AS WELL SE!!!!)

Juniorpop said: Play Dissidia. It's the game for Final Fantasy nuts. I'm already 250 hours in the game and I'm still addicted to it.

Rockshard said: I am not an FF fan, even though my first FF game was FF3 SNES which is a great game. (or maybe it was because FF3 SNES spoiled me?) Despite attempting to play through FF7 and FF8 (FF7 at least twice) I never did for some reason... I realize today it was because they are terrible. But anyway I've been playing Crisis Core though and I love it. So you tell me.

Earthmanbrick said: Why do you think that FF7 & 8 are terrible?

Rockshard said: must be the random battles, load times, very slow pace, various minigames/gimmicks/puzzles, lack of voice and, in the case of FF7 anyway, overall shoddy graphics on a more positive note, I'm sort of glad I at least played FF7 because realistically it helped me appreciate Last Order and Crisis Core a lot more.

Answers: gonna, cos, badguy, gimmick, nuts,:D, kind of, btw, psp., EU, SE, FF, sort of.
