Pay no mind to ASM's ramblings about pronouncing things. He doesn't speak english (well barely, but he just speaks as a parlor trick, like a parrot) so he doesn't get how it SHOULD sound.
Ah yes, FFIV is a fun game. It's best played on the PS1 though thanks to the fully restored TRUE version they finally gave us, plus a decent translation. The FMVs really aren't all that special really, so that's hardly reason enough for it's superiority. It's just fun to have Tellah "remember" spells you can't even cast normally, like bolt 3 on the entire enemy party. Of course, the enemies tend to have a lot more moves too, so it's not exactly easy sailing... Plus, fighting the programmers is always fun (ala CT) and I think EVERY game should let you do that! (Though one programmer, as I might do actually, decided to make a "god" type representation of themself, it huuuurts...)
FF6 is probably my fave, being the first I played, though it's close to FF7 for me (yes, I did in fact really enjoy that game thank you very much may I have another SIR and what nice weather we're having!). FF8 and FF9 are also fun, though FF9 is more traditional, in fact it embodies pretty much all the previous games into one amazing amalgum that really ties together in a very fun way. FFX was the first dissappointment for me, being far too linear for my tastes, though some really don't mind that. FFX-2 I liked better due to the EXTREME freedom they granted to make up for FFX, and I also enjoyed the battle system, though some didn't enjoy the story there (well, to be honest the story really wasn't the best, in fact it's probably on par with FF5, another weak, but still present, storyline). FFTA currently has my attention. Every now and then, I stop, but in a few weeks I'll suddenly pop back in. There's just so many missions in that game, plus the freedom. I'm still not certain what comes of being able to design the landscape myself as I go on (ala Legend of Mana), but hey it's fun.
Now then, FF3 and SD3 both need to be released here! It's been said again, in fact in about 10 ways, but hey I'll repeat it again. I want those two games! Packaged together if possible!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
