A fun video game series that is loved by many. Most games in the series have an emotional and moving plot that keeps you playing. Unfortunately some of the fans are anime fanboys and fangirls who tend to overrate every game and get pissy when you mention that you like another Final Fantasy game, or even another series in general better than this game.
My opinion: I like Final Fantasy although I find Zelda to be a better game series. The games I have played are I, II, IV, VI, X, and XII. I liked I somewhat but I didn't really like II. VI is a great game but a bit overrated in my opinion. I loved the story of X. I enjoyed XII's gameplay but I found the story to be weak. I want to buy VII, VIII, and IX. My personal favourite game in the series is IV.

Final Fantasy is the world's premiere series of RPG's. In the modern RPG era's beginning, on the Nintendo Entertainment System (Family Computer in Japan), it could be said that the first big blockbuster titles were Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior (also known as Dragon Quest).
Final Fantasy was originally intended to be Square's last game, but due to its incredible success, they went on to continue the series.
Final Fantasy 1 through 3 were made for the Famicom / NES, Final Fantasy 4 through 6 were made for the Super Famicom / Super NES, and 7 and onward were made for the Sony Playstation. Final Fantasy recently entered the subscription-based MMORPG domain with the release of Final Fantasy XI. There is also Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles for the Nintendo GameCube and the Final Fantasy Adventure and Final Fantasy Legend series for the Game Boy.
The Final Fantasy games are unrelated to each other in plot, however there are many common elements that return time after time. These include Chocobos, large yellow birds that are ridden like horses; Moogles, which are the equivalent of fairies but take the form of cuddly little white creatures; Atma Weapon which is both the name of a sword and of a boss creature, and a character named Cid.
The NES / Super NES titles were well enjoyed by players and sold particularly well, as did another notable Square title, Chrono Trigger, which was released in the interim between Final Fantasy 6 and Final Fantasy 7.
But thanks to a successful mass-marketing campaign by Square (now Square-Enix) in 1997, Final Fantasy 7 was an astounding success. As with any other gig whose popularity reaches critical mass, Square-Enix has since lost the "knack" of making quality new games. This is of little concern however, because the new post-1997 gaming generation had little motivation to play the prior games of the series, and instead always eagerly awaits the next mediocre Final Fantasy title. As such, Square-Enix only updates the series out of opportunity and habit, rather than artistic merit; since Final Fantasy is an easy cash cow that shows no signs of running out of milk.
Final Fantasy is now mostly seen as a subculture item, closely related to the anime / japanimation subculture.

Final Fantasy 7 is the best RPG ever.
(Yeah right. Wake up, fanboys....... Final Fantasy 6 gets my vote.)

The only decent reason to play on any of Sony's game systems. Sports games don't even count as games, for those of you who weren't in the know.

1.A game invented by God himself!
2.Something that has and will cause me and you to lose years of our lives. (I've gotta be reaching hour 1,000 now...)
3. An object that allows reality to disappear
4. A substitute to "the plug" in a hospital. (As in "They had to pull the plug") Going too long without it can kill you, yet you can live on it alone.

2,3 and 4. You: Dude, you're not looking too good.
FF fanboy (me): Huh? *in a daze, smelly, dirty, confused* Where am I? Who are you?
You: You haven't said a word in 14 years... You've been locked up in your room this whole time...
Me: Oh... wow... Well, at least now we don't have to worry about Sephiroth and Seymour and Vayne teaming up and destroying the world.
You: What?
Me: You know.. Because I killed them...
You: Are you ok?
Me: Oh... I..m.... fi.,ne... *dies*

Popular video game series developed by Japanese company Square--originated sometime in the early nineties; worshipped by pre-teens who consider the games to have meaningful stories and compelling characters; used by Square company to generate megabucks.
Guy #1: Dude, Final Fantasy 34 is releasing next year.
Guy #2: I still haven't finished Final Fantasy 29.
"Final Fantasy" + "#" = SUCCESS
