[@Dynamo Frokane] I hate you for starting this thread, but I love you for the fact VII is your favorite, so in conclusion to this, my opinion of you has not changed. xD

Now, onto the topic at hand:

My personal favorite has been, and always will be, Final Fantasy VII. Hate me if you want, tell me it sucks, tell me I need to go die for loving a horrible graphic game. See, I don't care; you have your opinions, I have mine. Sure, the graphics aren't what they are today, but back then when the game was designed, it was top of the line. The story was well done, and you felt exactly what these characters felt as they went through their own trials. Whether it was learning Sephiroth was alive still, learning the truth about Nanaki's father and what he did, or the ever so famous scene where a favorite character dies; you couldn't help but to connect with one of the characters, if not all of them on some level. Now, if someone were to ask me what I think of the Remake coming out, my answer would be this: I think it's cool they're giving the game a new look and overhauling everything, but I personally will always like the Original better. That said, it doesn't mean I'm not going to play the game, because believe me, I fully intend to. It's just that I grew up with the older Final Fantasies, and they hold a special place in my heart.

Now that my personal favorite is said, my favorite one involving romance has to VIII, and for a very personal reason. Back when the game was released, I connected with Squall pretty much instantly; we were very much alike, with slight differences. I was a loner, though not an orphan, I felt like I was because of things that happened to me. Squall's inner monologue usually matched up with my own, as it would with any loner, I'd imagine. And like Squall, I didn't trust anyone, I always expected to be hurt by them. The story of the game went very well with the love story between Squall and Rinoa. I still relate to Squall today, but more towards the Squall that realizes he loves Rinoa. I believe it was their love story that inspired me to create my own Final Fantasy RP, so this game also has a special place in my heart.
