The 30 Day FF Meme, but Condensed as I don't have time
Partly doing this as a celebration of ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
ff_exchange reveal soon, and partly because I suddenly have some free time today.
Day 01: Favorite Final Fantasy Game
FFVII. I know, it's not popular to like it, but it was my first, and well, it also was how I met some of my best friends and my ladyfriend. No, I don't think it is the BEST GAME EVER, but it doesn't have to be. I wasn't a big sword and sorcery fan growing up, I was more into sci-fi, and as such this was a perfect gateway into videogames. In fact, I didn't like any videogames until I played this one (I'd only played D&D ripoff things and while I like D&D with good DMs, I don't like it in videogames much). I liked the hero, I really liked the ladies (even if they had to kill one off on me), and I liked the mix of silly and serious. And Midgar is one of those places that I feel like I've been in long enough that I almost feel like I've lived there. I even like some parts of the Compilation, in the way that sometimes you like bad fanfic and some of the additional characters. I even like a lot of the fans, and I especially like how no matter what kind of gamer I'm talking to (and I end up talking to a lot at work), they've at least heard of it.
And honestly, I just can't quit it. I'm pretty sure I'll be 70 and still be metaing or writing fanfic or playing with my action figures related to this game. I'm very comfortable with this.
Day 02 – Your least favourite Final Fantasy game.
FFIX. I WILL GIVE THIS GAME ANOTHER CHANCE, but I have yet to get through a playthrough. It's hard, because I can't stand the main character (I'm just not a "thief with a heart of gold" person, I didn't like Locke much either, and I know Locke's more complicated than that but still same trope) and well. I'm not much into talking animals or lots of anthropomorphic characters. However, I love Kuja's genderbendy, how freaking hot Beatrix is, and Freyja. So we'll see. Least favorite doesn't mean HATE FOREVER.
Day 03 – Your favourite Final Fantasy theme/song.
J-E-N-O-V-A. I think I have like six variations of it now? I really don't know why either. Maybe because it sounds like OUTER SPACE and that's clearly where I am from.
Day 04 – Your favourite Final Fantasy party from your favourite game.
Tifa, Cid, and Cloud in FFVII. My favorite Limit Breaks and my favorite styles of fighting and well, some of my favorite characters anyway. My other favorite is Lulu, Yuna, and Rikku in FFX, as I tended to do my sphere grid in such a way as to make Yuna a tank. FFX-2 furthers me able to do this, omg I love it so much. Also girls.
Day 05 – Your favourite Final Fantasy City/Town.
Luca from FFX/2. It's just so bright and pretty! Even if Midgar is like, my fictional hometown, I would rather end up in the colorful pretty of FFX's world. For sure.
Day 07 – Least favourite part of your favourite Final Fantasy game.
Day 08 – Favourite Chocobo Version.
Day 09 – Favourite Moogle Version.
Day 10 – Best Final Fantasy scene ever.
Day 11 – Final Fantasy game that disappointed you.
Day 12 – Final Fantasy game you’ve played more than 5 times.
