What's your favorite game of all time?

[reaper_tbs]

Final Fantasy Tactics.
Nice music (despite my preference of metal).
Nice, fun, involving, long lasting gameplay, with brilliant character development.
This game is what i would call a real RPG, along with final fantasy 7, 8, etc.

I also envy those with the PSP (new) version of this game, since i awaited it's release
onwards from june, and realised in august that with my PSP not capable of playing
games anymore (probably due to myself having dropped it one time too many times),
it would be pointless getting the game.
It came out here (Australia) a few days ago i think.

Final Fantasy Tactics was an excellent game with a great soundtrack, despite Nobuo Uematsu not being involved in it (the composer of most of the other FF games).

[reaper_tbs]

He wasn't?
That's news to me.
I'm surprised it turned out the way it did then.
Now that i think about it a bit more though, it did seem slightly different. the music suited the scenery more fittingly than in some other FF games.
In my opinion though, after Tactics, number 7 had the best soundtrack, and surprisingly made some of the tracks slightly better by revamping them in the FF7 movie.
I've also attempted recreating these musical pieces on my guitar, and not ashamed to say, they sound pretty good..

The FFT soundtrack was done by Masaharu Iwata & Hitoshi Sakimoto.

Sakimoto left Square in 2000 after finished the soundtrack for Vagrant Story to work freelance, but came back later to work on more soundtracks, including FF XII, FF XII: Revenant Wings, FFT Advanced and the new FFT game among other projects for Square Enix.

I wasn't too impressed with the vagrant story soundtrack to be honest... Or the game in general for that matter. The gameplay was decent, but nothing spectacular. There were some good, original ideas in the game, but it was just lacking something IMO. Would you happen to know why Squaresoft is now SquareEnix? I think i found out a while ago, but i don't remember.

Enix took over Square in 2003 when they became the majority shareholder in Square's stock. They merged the companies, appointing Square's president Yoichi Wada president of the new company. The joint staff was divided into 10 teams: 8 to continue Square's series of games (such as FF, Mana, and Front Mission) and 2 to do Enix games (Dragon Quest and the Tri-Ace group (responsible for games like Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile)).

The merger was actually supposed to happen earlier than 2003, but after the failure of Square Picture's 'Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within', Enix decided to wait a while because they didn't want to be associated with the terrible financial loss from the film.

The new company also now owns Taito Corporation (since 2005 I think) and Gangan Comics (publishes Japanese manga such as Fullmetal Alchemist, owned by Enix before the merger).

That explains why the second movie was so much better than the first. I expected a let down at first, but it became apparent pretty quickly that it was thought out a lot better, and actually stuck to a final fantasy storyline...

Thanks for the info.

either the neverhood  or the zoombinis ... tiny bit sad for my age but still!

Zoombinis was a good game, used to play it a lot back in the mid-late '90s.  Still have it at home; I saw your thread asking about it on XP so I can test in a few days whether it works on XP (or Vista).

All time favorite is Civilization III, though.  Such an epic feeling to control an empire and conquer the world.  Civilization IV set the RAM requirements too high and lost the epic feel thanks to small maps as a result, so I'm sticking with and having lots of fun with Civilization III.

Funny enough I think Zoombinis is the only previously mentioned game I own.
