German Hops
GAF's Nicest Lunch Thief
This is hard. I have a lingering affection for all of them. I think it all comes down to the PlayStation trilogy for me.
Final Fantasy 7 was the first non text and not side scrolling RPG I ever played. I logged hundreds and hundreds of hours on that game. It was (at the time) the most amazing game I had ever played. Just the ability to dive deep into side quests and ignore the main story was amazing. I went from Mario Kart and Golden Eye on the 64 to FF7.
Now FF8… I also (sorta) fell in love with. This game was an initial disappointment, but replaying through it several times now made me appreciate how excellent the music, characters, and draw system truly were. A gun blade? What an awesome concept of a weapon.
FF9 is an absolute favorite. I love the characters, the story… Vivi had such an emotional impact on me. Monkey Boy was more of a sidekick than a hero and I liked that. I'm sorry, every single playthrough I've named him Monkey Boy. I don't even remember his real name. When I tried to replay it before it was remastered, I was super frustrated with the endless fights every two steps and wondered why I loved it.
