All right Mako:

What's everyone's favorite and least favorite stage? (And why, naturally)

My least favorite is undoubtedly Ultimecia's castle. I hate that stage. The combination of the narrowness and the tucked in balconies make it hard to fight normally, even if the camera isn't glitching around an air-dashing CPU, which it frequently is. On top of that, the entire center of the stage is unusable. You can grind along it, but the wood there is too fragile to mount any sort of attack from, meaning you have to use the balconies which brings us back to where I started.
And in the Omega version, the screen blurs and makes the already frustrating level worse. I really hate Shade Impulse 2-2 where nearly EVERY fight is on that stage.

My favorite is probably The Rift. It's wide open, but still with plenty of places for some strategery.
Leading an opponent all up down castle walls and luring them across the wide gaps into a well-timed Cross-Slash is great. The Omega version, in addition to being very clever with the whole concept of it being in the Rift, turns it into arguably the most dynamic stage in the game.

An honorable mention goes to The Crystal World. It's also open with a perfect arena in the center. But the Omega version is also very cool, adding tons of platforms. The cover it but they're also very destructible, keeping you moving while making for some especially cinematic battles.

Your turn.

YES! I can't stand Ultimecia's castle. It's...just so difficult. And confusing. I get so twisted around and I can never figure out how to get to where I need to go. :/

I think I really like Order's Sanctuary best. Open, with lots of slider things lol. Just a nice open arena for fighting. :)

My favorite stages are:

Order's Sanctum because of how staright forward it is. It's just flat. I like that, because then you can focus on fighting and crap.

The Crystal World Omega of FFIX is one of my favs because of how massive and detailed it is, and the randomly appearing platforms just..look awesome.

The Rift Omega is another neat one as well.

I happen to like Ultimecia's Castle stage, especially the Omega one. :monster:

Mindhax! :reptar:

I was totally gonna post that. Good thing I read your post first. :monster:

I suck at Ultimecia's Castle, really. Since I never bother with the camera, I never figure out to move properly in there. So I just stay in one place and wait for my opponent to get to me. :awesome:

I do love sliding along things there and wallrunning at the pillars. :awesomonster:

I fight in Order's Sanctuary the most when I need some AP, leveling up or a quick battle.

YES! :reptar: Too true.


Also, Edge of Madness pwns. :reptar: My ultimate favorite, really.
