Lark: "Final Fantasy games are not like any other video game. They are more like a movie, because they have scenes that affect us emotionally, and I don't mean the great feeling you get after you beat it! These are my favorite moments from the Final Fantasy games, as well as the favorite moments of the visitors to FFF who were kind enough to send in their input, and the characters themselves."

Lark's Favorite FF Moments

Okay, here we go. *MY* favorite moments. (dun dun dun) Keep in mind that I haven't finished FF6 or FF9 yet, so most of this stuff is from FF7 or FF8. I judged my favorite moments not as all the parts I liked, but all the parts I thought stood out emotionally, or were exceptionally well done in terms of humor or action. I also limited myself to 6 moments per game. It was *hard*!!

THE POISIONING OF DOMA CASTLE
(Final Fantasy Six)
When this happened, I threw a fit of royal proportions. This cemented my hatred for Kefka, and I hate his guts to this day. That was just a truly heartless act, and it really got to me. It also made me really feel for Cyan, and he's one of my favorite characters because of it. I could really see where he was coming from.

CLOUD'S STORY OF SEPHIROTH AT NIBELHEIM
(Final Fantasy Seven)
Of course this would be on the list. How can you not be affected when Sephiroth goes back and starts whacking at the cylinders at the reactor with his sword, or when they show him reading all the books in the library, or when they show him in the flames, going off to free his mother. This is one of the greatest parts in the game, and FF history.

SEPHIROTH DESCRIBES HIS PLAN
(Final Fantasy Seven)
The diolouge between Sephiroth and Tseng at this part is great. "Can you do that?" Truly shows you just how mad Sephiroth has become and really opens up a lot more of the story. Then there's the part where Tseng gets stabbed.... *sniff* And I have to admit--the line Sephiroth says while doing so is great too.

THE CRATER
(Final Fantasy Seven)
It's a bitch to get there, but once you do, it's awesome. Sephiroth showing Cloud what really happened--and Cloud not believing him while Tifa's struggling with what she knows. Then you get to the center, and Shinra and *shudder* Hojo's there and they all watch as meteor is summoned and they have no choice but to run, leaving a demented Cloud behind.

LUCRETIA'S CAVE
(Final Fantasy Seven)
I always look forward to this, and it's not only because I love Vincent. The flashback with Lucretia being stolen by Hojo is great, of course, but it's Lucretia describing tha pain she went through afterwards that's really sad, especially when she talks about Sephiroth. The best part is when she asks if Sephiroth is alive, Vincent steps forward and says "he is dead, Lucretia". The first time I saw that I was in shock for a good minute aftwards.

RUFUS DIES
(Final Fantasy Seven)
And it's not here just because I like Rufus! You think I like to see him die?! No! The reason why it's good is because of the two seconds they show his eyes narrowing right before he's blown up. It's like he's saying to WEAPON 'I'm more powerful than you are--you can't destroy me' and then, two seconds later, he's ashes. *sniff* Rufus!

EVERYONE COMES BACK
(Final Fantasy Seven)
How happy and uplifting is it when everyone returns to fight Sephiroth? You really felt like a team at that moment! (Okay, I realize I take the game too seriously)

THE DANCE
(Final Fantasy Eight)
To me, this is the best part of the game. Why? Because it's so cool! It's really an awesome FMV, and Squall's so cute and funny in it. ^^

IRVINE CAN'T SHOOT
(Final Fantasy Eight)
I was throwing a *fit* when Irvine said he couldn't take the shot!! But that really was a great part when he just let out the true Irvine Kinneas. Not such a big shot afterall! Oh well, I love him anyway.

TRABIA GARDEN BASKETBALL COURT
(Final Fantasy Eight)
I really like the part where they have that conversation about the orphanage and why they have to fight Edea. Charlie-Brown-loser-Squall is so cute. And you can see how Zell and Seifer never changed... Also more insight into how Irvine really is a serious person when it comes down to it.

THE RAGNAROK
(Final Fantasy Eight)
No, I'm not talking about walking around and fighting those asslancing propagators. I'm talking about that part on the bridge where Rinoa is flirting with Squall big time on the bridge and he morphs back into super jerk even though he exclaimed "I've never felt this way in my life!" not ten minutes before! Anyway, "Eyes on Me" plays in the background with the lyrics and everything, and then Rinoa has to tell Squall she's become a Sorceress...

RESCUE AT THE SORCERESS MEMORIAL
(Final Fantasy Eight)
This was a beautiful FMV too. Squall whacks at that thing with his gunblade, and then they hug. See, Squall's not a jerk all the time!

THE ENDING
(Final Fantasy Eight)
How beautiful was the ending? Everything about it was great!! Not only was it touching and that junk, it was funny too! It was great to see Seifer was back to normal, it was great to see Zell finally got some darn hot dogs, and finally, it was great to see Squall *gasp* SMILE! This ending was worth my 64 hours of work any day!

Okay, I'm gonna get into FF9 now, so if you don't wanna be spoiled, click here and go straight to what the FF characters favorite moments are. ^_^

ESCAPE FROM THE EVIL FOREST
(Final Fantasy Nine)
Besides being a cool FMV, it was sad to see Blank get petrified. *sniff* Well, all was not lost...

ZIDANE AND DAGGER GET....MARRIED?
(Final Fantasy Nine)
Oh boy, was it funny to see Zidane sweat. And it was *really* funny to see Quina and Vivi get married if you picked the right ATE.

END OF DISC TWO
(Final Fantasy Nine)
That whole part at the Iifa tree... With Bahamut and Kuja bleeding... Showed you even more how fully evil Kuja is. *whacks kuja with a stick*

THE MALE "BONDING" SESSION
(Final Fantasy Nine)
If you played the game, think of the part with Zidane and Vivi in Madin Sari. *snorts* If you haven't played the game... I can't tell you what happened... Only that it was funny as hell.

I haven't finished FF9, and I don't remember much, so this is all I have for now.


THEFFCHARACTERSFAVORITEMOMENTS

Lark: "I'm not gonna let *every* FF character tell their favorite part, otherwise we'd be here all day. So, I decided to let ten of them go."

Sephiroth: "ME FIRST!"

Lark: *annoyed sigh* "Sephiroth first."

Sephiroth: "My favorite part is from FF7, of course, and it's when I kill Aeris!" *grins* "How cool did I look there? I mean, come on, I looked *awesome*!"

Lark: "Yeah, real nice, Seph. Go ahead, Irvine."

Irvine: "My favorite part is from FF8 when we had the awesome concert. We rocked, no matter what Rinoa says!!"

Lark: "See, that was nice. Go ahead, Rufus."

Rufus: "My favorite part was when Sephiroth brutally murdered my father." *smiles*

Sephiroth: "Yeah, that was a good part too."

Lark: *hits herself in the forehead* "Ugh. Go, Zell."

Zell: "Yo, the ending of FF8 was the best cause I got a hot dog!!"

Lark: "I somehow knew he was gonna say that."

Cid: "#%@#&$%&%*^*&^#%$#%@@&%^*!!"

Lark: "Um, Cid says he liked the part when he went into space."

Sephiroth: "That part sucked."

Lark: "Sephiroth, you're not here to comment on what everyone else thinks."

Sephiroth: "Says you, woman!"

Squall: "Whatever."

Lark: "Give your favorite moment, Squall, or I'll tell everyone it was when Nida became a SeeD!"

Squall: *sweat drops* "Fine. I liked each and every time I kicked Seifer's sorry ass."

Zell: "I liked that part too!"

Seifer: "Hey!"

Lark: "Um...it's Vincent's turn now!"

Vincent: *clears throat* "My favorite part is from FF7, and it is the part where Hojo is finally killed."

Lark: "I like that part too."

Sephiroth: "How come you didn't yell at him for being morbid!"

Lark: "Cause I don't like Hojo!"

Rufus: "You didn't like my father either!"

Lark: "All right, it's Seifer's turn!"

Seifer: "I like when I slashed Squall's pretty boy face open!"

Lark: "Oh dear..."

Squall: "I slashed yours too."

Seifer: "I did it first."

Lark: "Okay! No fighting! Go ahead, Barret."

Barret: "Yo, I liked it when that dumb jerk Shinra blew da hell up!"

Rufus: "Oh *yeah*?! Well *I* liked when Sector Seven collapsed and crushed your pitiful friends!!"

Barret: "Yo, you take dat back white boy before I beat yo' ass!"

Lark: "You guys! Please! Only Laguna is left, then you can fight." *weary sigh* "Laguna?"

Laguna: "I liked the end of FF8 because everyone was so happy!"

Lark: "Laguna?"

Laguna: "What?"

Lark: *hugs laguna*

Laguna: *grins* "Hey hey!"

Sephiroth: *pouts* "Suck up."
