NOBUO UEMATSU IS SIMPLY THE BEST.

[Sadet1991]

@ajvargasp gezzz is that all what people care about more then anything these days? the graphics? sorry but a game should be based on graphics alone, a game should be juged on by Story Line First, Game Play 2nd, Controles 3rd, music 4th, and then graphics

thats how a game should be juged

[pwnr95]

Serious question, where might I find the lyrics to this piece?

[MRshinymuffin]

@mrnicebobby i havent played 6 yet, mine would haveta be 7 10 nd what i got into 8

[MRshinymuffin]

@Sadet1991 id say story line, music, gameplay controls thn graphics, the music changes everything, and even changes the feel and mood of the story, nobuo uematsu is def one of the finest artist ive seen especially in these days, videogame musician or not

[mrnicebobby]

@LestatDeBratPrince Yeah, that counts a lot.

My 3 favorites are FF6, FF7 and FFTactics, with great stories and inventive gameplay. I kinda liked FF9, but not enough to include it in my top 3 (with all three games tied in #1)

[mrnicebobby]

@Dsychoi I was being a little more generic about game genres, even though great RPGs must have a good story, yes, but I still believe the gameplay is most important.

It's an interactive media, after all. Good stories are most important in movies. When you have a great story in a crappy format you tend to ignore it, or more often, not knowing it, cause you can't advance in the game without good gameplay

@mrnicebobby

I disagree, but then again FFX was the one I started with. =D I will always love it.

[hazael0987]

When that Sephiro song whas about to come out at 4:12 I was like YEA!!! jajaja and then at 4:18 came the chocobo song I cold not stop laughing.. That was Legendary.. It made my day :D ..

[Dsychoi]

@mrnicebobby No offence, but I still think storyline is most important.. Cus that's what attracts most RPG players.

when that choir came in, oh man, i wasn't ready
