Final Fantasy really covers a wide variety of topics through its games and what really makes it special to me is the beauty of the stories, worlds, and characters through which it tackles these topics and presents to us many beautiful stories unparalleled.
For me, FF8, X, and X-2 are really important to me because they were some of the things my life partner and I bonded over. To this day I adore and love those games. Nowadays I play FF14 like a madman!
there has long been a debate over what games have kept the "feel" of Final Fantasy, and what games have betrayed it. little did Sakaguchi know when he created FF1, that he really had cemented some themes together, that would ultimately be perfected in 7, and become somehow difficult to replicate since. so long as an entry holds true to these themes, to me it is a real FF game. 1) a bond develops a deepens between the party, as they journey on towards the conclusion of the story. 2) there is exploration of a vast, beautiful, dangerous, and crumbling world. 3) there must be some sort of loss, or great price to be paid in order to truly acheive victory. 4) the main villian ends up transcending time and space, and most likely brings about ruin and apocalypse. FF stories rely on emotional weight as well as quirky gameplay elements to make them memorable.

Nice to see you here, Kran. Hope Raido's doing well. And yes, I recall you telling me you play a lot of Final Fantasy 14. Yoshi-P rules.
Good job, final fantasy is my life
