Showing 1-10 of 40 items

Aerith Gainsborough

1. Aerith Gainsborough

Not my first video game character love, but definitely my deepest and most enduring. I'm fully aware it's a little weird to be this attached to a video game character, but hey, what can I say, she's the greatest.

Cloud Strife

2. Cloud Strife

Sometimes I wish Cloud was real -- why can't all guys be as hot as Final Fantasy game characters? Honestly! Oh well, he'll always be my hero!

Zack Fair

3. Zack Fair

Be still, my beating heart. Still not as great as Cloud, but still a very cool character.

Sephiroth

4. Sephiroth

What's more terrifying than Sephiroth in FFVII? Not much, I'll tell you that. What's also scary is how much Crisis Core humanized the monster and actually made me feel bad for him.

Terra Branford

5. Terra Branford

My favorite character to play in Dissidia.

Compilation of Final Fantasy VII

6. Compilation of Final Fantasy VII

Whether it's games, movies, or just the CGI sequence of games that are kind of like movies, I love everything FFVII -- I might even have bought Dirge of Cerberus at some point. How's that for love?

Final Fantasy XI Online

7. Final Fantasy XI Online

Was I particularly looking for a MMORPG when this came along? Sure, but the only reason I gave this a chance over, say, EverQuest 2 or World of Warcraft is my lifelong love of Final Fantasy... and catgirls.

Windurst

8. Windurst

Windurst: My favorite nation! :) ...well, other than the Mithran homeland and that island nation full of Mithra, I suppose.

Final Fantasy Explorers

9. Final Fantasy Explorers

This is a MMORPG-lite game in which you can transform into Aerith, so I might buy it or its sequel eventually.

Final Fantasy VII Remake

10. Final Fantasy VII Remake

On PS4; also available on PS4: a version of the original FFVII with the ability to turn off random battles!
