I realized I didn't explain why I liked Final Fantasy.
Well, first there are the stories. Final Fantasy starts you usually in a simple fairy-tale world and then throws it into utter chaos. When you think about where you start from and where the final battle takes place, it is a roller coaster ride.
Second are the characters. Most FF games do an excellent job of building the main characters. You care about them. They go through enormous stress and inner-conflicts and do their best to come out on top. The villains are equally as interesting. Kefka, Sephiroth, Ultimecia, Kuja, and Seymour make up the powerhouse of gaming villainy. I mean the Cloud/Sephiroth conflict or the Zidane/Kuja relationship are so intense that they continue to leave me in awe.
Third, I just love RPG's. You never have to worry about crappy camera angles or clunky manuvers. Sure, it can get repititive, but you can find some interesting ways to make the battles more intense.
Fourth, the CGI in game movies are breath-taking. Some of the best graphics you will find in the world of gaming.
Fifth, the music is also incredible. I have the soundtracks to VII, VIII, IX, and X and I listen to them constantly. Nobou Uematsu is a musical genius.
Their are lots of other little bits that make Final Fantasy an amazing series, but I would have to go back and play through the games to really come up with a complete list.
I am not saying that Zelda is bad or that I don't like it. The Zelda games are amazing in their own right. But for me, Final Fantasy is superior.
