I prefer Paladin Cecil. He grows so much more as a character after his transformation, not to mention he's much more powerful.

Even if he looked cool as a Dark Knight, if he had remained one, he could not have beaten some of the more difficult bosses with the power of Darkness.

As the Elder of Mysidia said, you can't fight darkness with darkness.

6 was way better than 4, but that isnt to say that FF4 wasnt one of the greatest games ever made.

I think FFVI could have been better than FFIV if the World of Ruin wasn't such a let down. I've never been a big fan of doing sidequests, and that's what most of the World of Ruin involved. The World of Balance was perfect in terms of plot.

Agreed. FFVI is a great game, but plot-wise, the WOR sucks. It's only "find the others, do sidequests, beat the crap out of Kekfa".

Cecil is better as Paladin because light is better than dark.

This game is great but not the best.

Wait how can you like final fantasy games if you dont like sidequests. The best parts of the final fantasy games come from the sidequests. Would FF1 have been as cool without Xcalibur? No. Would FF2 have been as cool without the uber-bosses? No. Would FF4 have been as cool without the secret summons? Heck no. Would FF5 have been as cool without having to unlock the 12 weapons? Never. Would FF6 have been as cool if you started the WoR with the all of the party and owning the airship/uber items? Would FF7 be as cool without the chocobos and secret materia? FF10 without the celestial weapons? FFX2 without that crazy 70 level dungen? I submit that they would not. Ofcourse you're entitled to disagree with me, its not like my opinion matters. Why? Because Im a Red Mage fan.

Hell yeah FFIV is the best 2D Final Fantasy. It's my second favorite of the Final Fantasies and easily my favorite 2D one (though not my favorite 2D RPG, that would be Breath of Fire 2)

It was fun. Levels had meaning to them. It was more adventurous than any other FF I'd ever played. Besides,
Spoiler: I absolutely love stories where the guy has to rescue the girl

It just annoys me that the plot of the game will nearly be identical even if you complete the side quests. Side quests usually give a little bit more background information on a character or situation, but never any major plot twist. I usually get too impatient with the side quests, and then go finish the game. Afterwards, I just don't feel like doing them.
