with the intention of kidnapping her
don’t worry it’s not as sketchy as it
sounds it turns out that the princess is

corrupt Kingdom ever since her mother
began acting strangely
this opening is theatrical musical and
even a little bit romantic as the day
and whisks garnet off to start their
whirlwind adventure
number nine sessile becomes a paladin
final fantasy for stay back this is a
fight for me and me alone even when the
series wasn’t sporting the flashy
graphics it has today it still managed
some pretty awesome scenes
in Final Fantasy 4 you play as the Dark
Knight sessile struggling to come to
terms with the corruption of his beloved
Kingdom of Baron I’m a coward a coward
who cannot even defy orders who knows he
ought not follow after climbing Mount
ordeals he has his moment of catharsis
he cleanses the darkness from his soul
in an intense battle against well
himself and emerges as a paladin ready
to strike down evil
it’s a triumph moment for our hero and a
turning point in the story sessile just
gained a level in badassery for shake
the daca she once embraced well the
light will find no home number eight
Tiaras death Final Fantasy Tactics
kidnapping the girl is a tried and true
tactic in every villains Arsenal and
poor Teatro was yet another dime a dozen
damsel in distress for her brother
Delita
to rescue except things didn’t exactly
go that way pursuing the corpse brigade
to the zeke den fortress ramsey and
Aleta’s heroic rescue is complicated by
the appearance of the order of the
northern sky
in the chaos Teatre is killed by the
treacherous air gap and the fortress
goes up in flames as Delita
cradles his sister’s body let’s just say
that he doesn’t take it too well tonight
number seven the sorceress parade Final
Fantasy 8
the whole gangs finally together and
fireworks are going off in the skies
above daling city all in celebration of
one very special lady being the party
crashers they are squall and his group
of fellow seeds are about to commit the
ultimate party faux pas assassinating
the guest of honor yeah we always knew
that squall wasn’t exactly a social
butterfly
in this high attention sequence that
closes out disc 1 the parties split up
across the sprawling city to make sure
his plan goes off without a hitch
climaxing in an epic confrontation with
the sorceress herself
number six infiltrating dawn coreos
Manor Final Fantasy 7
the iconic ff7 has too many memorable
scenes some more traumatic than others
but who can forget the time our
battle-hardened ex soldier had to ditch
the tough-guy persona for one magical
evening with the sleaziest man in Midgar
thanks to aerith’s scheming cloud is
forced into a dress and pigtails among
other things in order to infiltrate the
manor of dawn corneal a woolmarket fat
cat who happens to be looking for some
company that night yeah that kind of
company with the ff7 remake on the way
we can only pray to the planet that this
scene remains untouched in all of its
glory
number 5 Galef vs. ex death final
fantasy 5
years before the tragedy of Erath
fans of Final Fantasy were no strangers
to the heart-wrenching experience of
losing a major party member
Galef at least went out in a blaze of
glory taking on the games big bad
exdeath one on one and coming closer to
victory than anyone else so far of
course all of his friends his
granddaughter and the world all had to
be in danger before Galef activated his
hidden ass-kicking powers but that’s
just the way things go
the kooky old man who’s been with you
since the beginning of the game bites
the dust but doesn’t go down without a
fight
number four Tidus and Yuna in McIlhenny
a Final Fantasy 10 I always thought that
this would be easier somehow I thought
that everyone would help me you can’t
help but feel for these two ill-fated
lovebirds after all you and I just left
her husband to be at the altar and tight
is proceeded to beat the crap out of
them that’s how you know these two were
meant to be let’s go to the sea before
the sunrise at this point they’ve been
through a lot and yuna’s about to make
the ultimate sacrifice as her pilgrimage
draws to a close
Titus tries to convince her otherwise
but the two of them know that they’re
ending isn’t going to be a happy one
in one of their last few moments alone
they share this tender moment complete
with romantic j-pop playing in the
background do you think James Cameron
played this game
number three the opera scene Final
Fantasy 6 how do you get an airship why
you convince the ex Imperial General in
your party to put on a dress learn to
sing and take the place of a famous
opera singer all in the hopes that a
flying gambler will kidnap her and take
her aboard his airship this is of course
all while thwarting the plans of an evil
octopus yeah I know it’s a stretch but
when it leads to one of the most
memorable scenes ever who really cares
Final Fantasy 6 gave us a full opera on
the Super Nintendo with complete
movements lyrics and vocalizations it’s
one of the best musical moments in
videogame history
hands down
number two kefka destroys the world
final fantasy 6
if you’ve heard about Final Fantasy 6
you’ve heard of its maniacal cackling
court jester of a villain Kefka aside
from upstaging every villain in the
series with his hilarious one-liners
he’s also famous for accomplishing what
every villain ever has tried to do and
failed ending the world even by today’s
standards that’s a gutsy move to pull
off in the middle of a game story just
as your party thinks they’re on their
way to their final confrontation the
world splits apart upheaving the game
into a dystopian post-apocalyptic
adventure
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
let’s go
number one aerith’s death final fantasy
seven
sorry for the spoiler though you have to
have been living under a rock to not
know about this one
it was the Masamune stabbing heard round
the world at the end of Final Fantasy
sevens first disc fans cried out in
heartbreak as Aerith returned to the
planet yes I swear there’s just dust in
my eye
visiting her homeland the capital of the
Ancients Aerith is ambushed by Sephiroth
and impaled with cloud and the player
powerless to stop it sure kefka may have
destroyed the world but murdering an
innocent flower girl that’s just evil
dude emotional cinematic unexpected and
unforgettable aerith’s death is without
a doubt our top pick
