I was thinking last night, and I came to the conclusion that FFVII can't hold a
torch to that much maligned spin-off, Final Fantasy Mystic Quest. :)

Are you refering to FFIIIj or FFIIIus? Stupid Americans, we hafta renumber the
series, screwing us all up. :\ I always refer to the games by their Japanese
numbers... :)

Hear, Hear!! This is one of the many (and I mean *many*) reasons I loved
Xenogears. I think Sprites can show emotion much better than 3D figures...

Hey, I like Chocobos! They're Cute! Too bad they lost a lot of the cuteness
in VI-VIII. :( Nor did I like Cid in VII or VIII...

lol!! Thanks! Have you played Xenogears? That takes the top spot in my PSX
RPG rankings! That is an awesome game! I just got the Soundtrack on Friday,
great stuff... :)

Updated Rankings, Including the two true FF spinoffs:
FFIV, FFT, FFVIII, FFV, FFII, FFVI, FFIII, FFI, FFMQ, FFVII.
I think I need to make a chart of all RPGs I've played, to rank every single
one. It'll also be a great way to show just how much I hated FFVII. :)
