My favourite recurring trope is protagonist of mysterious birth, or to put it another way, the protag is not who he/she initially seems.
I always enjoy their reflection on the brevity of life, the necessity of death, and the essential harmony, or balance, between humanity and nature that we tamper with at our peril.

Fave party: Cloud, Tifa, Aeris. First party I ever assembled, although having the choice to replace the main character in XII gave me my second favorite combo: Penelo, Balthier, Basch.
Fave hair: OG Cloud.
Fave recurring trope/monster: Chocobos! I love 'em so much I put 'em in my homebrew D&D world.

Favourite recurring thing has gotta be the Final Fantasy Theme. I wish they used it a bit more consistently though. It should just be the main intro theme for every game.

I'm not gonna lie, there aren't really any designs I loathe or just think are "bad" per se. I like to tease and give shit to fabulous, zebra-print, pride-parade Amano artwork Bartz but he even legit looks cool in a fantasy-esque unusual way.
But I will show you the design that irritated me the most when I saw it. It's technically not from Final Fantasy but it is of Final Fantasy characters....
Like.... I'm sorry but. Why are you even in this game? I loved FFX-2, and loved Yuna, Rikku and Paine. But, it's like Nomura read all the negative reviews of what people didn't like about FFX-2 and said,
"I welcome their hatred."
If YRP were actually meaningful and did cool shit in KH2, then I'd be more forgiving with the design. I mean, it's cute in a chibi-kawaii sorta way. But... It's all ridiculous. They did fuck all. They were mere stereotypical shells of their former selves. And the silly redesign only emphasized the stupidity of it. Like... I was so disappointed.
Comparing the version of Yuna and Rikku in WoFF to these versions and it's like.... I'm sorry but did Nomura just not have any fucks left to give by the time he got to writing and designing them or something? I have no idea what he was going for other than, "HEY LOOK! IT'S YRP! SMILE EVERYONE!"

When the unused Honey Bee Inn scenes were uncovered eight years ago. It was a very exciting time and for a long time I felt "Wow, now my life has peaked" because of the small way in which I contributed to its discovery (in hindsight I should have given more credit to BrutalAl, since he was essentially the keymaker and I simply pointed him to a locked door that looked suspicious).
The ecstasy was also palpable here at the forum when the discovery was revealed. I fondly remember all the joy.
The original video upload of the unused scene:

Thank you for all your hard work with this wonderful thread activity idea! <3

I think seeing the Remake trailer for the first time is what did it. My brother had already trolled me from footage from G-Bike and so when he insisted that there was an actual Remake trailer that dropped, I didn't believe him. Then he linked it to me. I saw it. I cried. I was so, so, so, so, so, so happy.

29. Tidus' design always looked very silly to me. Looks exactly like someone who plays a water sport, but forgot to change after the match.
30. FF7Remake reveal completely slayed me. I literally fell out of my chair cos I fist pumped too vigorously whilst leaning backwards.

Day 30. I have trouble remembering the good times :p. I was pretty ecstatic reaching Safer Sephiroth for the first time thougb, but more so due to the atmosphere of One-winged Angel beginning after a pause which came after fiery sound effects. Then the pan out from Seph's face with the fancy gestures and everything.
If we're talking other things besides games. Seeing the first trailer or test footage (?) to AC was exciting. Kadaj and Cloud fighting on a highway, etc.
The intro to FFVIII, available on demo before the game's release, had me excited for the game. There was also a point when I was excited for FFXV due to a trailer
. Particularly elements of the TGS 2013 and 2014 trailers. Hahaha... haha... haaa

Day 29: Seymour’s design is just atrocious. I’m not even talking about the blue hair antlers (although wtf) it’s more the Hugh Hefner open shirt, clown sleeves and FFX’s overall colour scheme in regards to costume design.
I also don’t like AC Cloud. I think the half skirt thing is dumb, @ me.
Day 30: the most jazzed I ever got was maybe when Barret throws the rope at Tifa, and she almost falls, but catches it! And then, everybody’s there on the ship! It’s ours! The music kicks in. Tifa takes the helm, and suddenly I’m flying an airship. Nothing can quite compare to that joy.
Another time, fandom related, was when I read the epic treatise on Time/Ultimecia by Sir Bahamut, TheOnionKnight and Squall_of_SeeD aka @The Twilight Mexican . It honestly blew me away and encouraged me to think really critically about the media I consume which has changed my life for the better. Fun side note: while it debunked the Rinoa=Ulti theory it also introduced that theory to me, so ya kinda shot yourself in the foot there, Tres.
To fancy and everyone who participated in this month’s madness, thank you so much. This was an awesome thing. ???

Day 30: Definitely when I learned about the lifestream and the planet in FF7. It is such a beautiful and romantic way to imagine afterlife and spiritual energy
It made me feel bad to see we fuck up earth this much imaging that earth could be alive. I also had this ridiculous fantasy that some of us are Ancients who traveled to earth and lost the ability to communicate to the planet because we are so polluted it is stupid but I was 13

Vincent is my fave
Best character...FFVII Cloud maybe?
Day 03 - the biggest OMG WTF moment
Day 04 - the best storyline?
FFVII!!!!!
Day 05 - favourite Cid?
Yellow condom Cid. "Grandpa! Tee-hee"
Day 06 - Which FF universe would you live in and why?
I will be a spoiled kid on Midgar's upper plate. Whichever sector that doesnt get blown up.

Day 15 - Which game has disappointed you
Day 17 - favourite theme/song
Cyan's theme. So mysterious and solemn!
Day 20 - Which relationship is your favourite
Probably the relationship between the Turks and Cloud's team...There is something subtle about where the Turks stand between good and...evil? Between their conscience and loyalty to Shinra/Turks/their boss
Day 21 - If you had the chance to fill the role of any character
I will be Lucrecia and just marry Vincent, murder Hojo, and dump Jenova in the trash so all the twisted shit in FFVII won't happen Seriously, I can believe how terrible someone's life choice can be. And that past was the beginning of all nightmares
But then we won't have the game, so probably not.
Day 24 - fave class
DRAGOON
and dark knight, but not Cecil's dark knight
Day 25 - my rage-quit
It is not a boss or a dungeon. It is Setzer's Joker doom. I set my party to auto attack when I was leveling on the mobile version. And Setzer wiped my party twice with that goddamn slot combination
Day 27 - best haircut? And who's hair do you personally think you'd look good in?
Cloud and Sephiroth have the best haircut I used to have Yuffie and Tifa's hair styles they both work fine

When my team found Cyan in the World of Ruins, and found his books. One of the books is "Bushido in the bedroom"

Rosa from FFIV. I don't even know why but this kinda "I just love my brooding, nice, blue childhood boyfriend so much and I am so worried about him and I will follow him anywhere" just gives me rage. And she dies too easily too, with that HP
Seifer at the beginning of FF8. I just hate...cocky people
