I am curious as to which aspect of the game you feel most drawn to. When you first pick up a Final Fantasy title to play, what are you hoping for? A good challenge? Great Battles? Envolved Characters? Epic Music? Mind blowing plotline? Also which are your favorite games in the series. I am curious to see if there is a correlation to what we all love about a game vs. which games make us happiest. I am hoping to open up a discussion that instead of focusing on praising and bashing different main numbered titles, shows a relation as to why each person likes some titles so much and others not.
For example, I love a good plot I would re-read for fun later on wiki, or great music I could spend years listening to after. Most of all I love well developed and evolving characters. I find I am drawn to the games where I feel the most character development takes place, and have interesting make you think (even if its confusing) plotlines. I paticularily love VIII because of Squall's development as a character, and how much he comes into his own throughout the story (contrary to the initial stoic hero which he so often is pinned with...) I also love the characters of IV, VII and X. Which happen to be my more favorites int he series.
For me I can overlook awkward battle mechanics, leveling systems, or graphics as they aren't as important to me.
