My favourite cut scene was from Final Fantasy IX when Eiko and Garnet summoned Alexander to prevent Bahamut from destroying the rest of the city.

I'll also include a poll which you can post a vote on which game had the best cut scenes.

Final Fantasy XII. For a longtime I was wishing a Final Fantasy game would have a huge battle scene whether it be airships or soldiers. Final Fantasy fulfilled both of my wishes with the opening a a few of the ending FMVs. I particulaly was suprised at the execution of the battle scene over Rabanastre pitting the Empire and Resistance in the fight for power.

I'm torn between three cinematic sequences,
1: ) The end of FFVII with Nanaki and his pups running towards Midgar (and the AC remake of that scene)
2: ) Disk 3 of FFVIII when the Ragnarok breaks through Lunatic Pandoras shield. And,
3: ) FFX The Blitzball sequence at the beginning

There are probably others but it's early morning and I can't think straight

The cinematic in FFVII where the party escape from the shinra building is by far my favourite. The bike is amazing, and it's pretty awesome when you get a short look at barret's gatling gun in full, glorious cinematic graphics.

You know evn thought I can't stand FFX I really did for some reason like the first cutsceen.

Final Fantasy 9 - End of Disk Two

Bahamut at the Lifa Tree attacking Kuja that also includes Queen Branhe dying for some strange reason

FFVII when Sephiroth torches Nibelhiem and walks away in the flames. It was just so very badass. And the light, the pretty light!! :P

The previous four posts prove my point about early morning thinking, I would rate all of those as being somewhere at the top of my list aswell

Well this is quite a toughie. I love almost all the cutscenes in each, but it all came down to X. I suppose I love the whole serene and warm colors that they used, such as Yuna's dance on that water. It was all so magical! I know I'm exaggerating, but you get the gist.

VIII would be next. The Balamb party dance was just perfect. Squall and Rinoa really pulled it off quite well. Hmm, what is it with Final Fantasy and dancing?

I totaly forgot about Squall and Rionas dance sceen. I really like that even more than the beginning of FFX.

VIII's last sequence. The part where Squall imagines Rinoa's death in particular. Squall's gunblade pelting into the ground, and the fight that follows was also quite....cool I guess.

Without a doubt, I must say that it was the Ragnarok scene in FFVIII.

Yes, that particular scene was one of the best because it stood out due to the kick ass momentum. The characters ready to face the ultimate battle, their anxiousness building up to that point. An outstanding machinery, so alive and strong roaring through the skies, ready to devour whatever would cross its way, and a crazy pilot screaming “Woo-Hoo!!”. So when it starts shooting towards the Lunatic Pandora it had no choice but to claw its way through them and shoot some more. Now that frikkin hawt as hell.

So what your saying is if the Final Fantasy series had a male calender, the Ragnarok would be Mr. July ? I find it odd that you picked that one. I thought you would have picked something more delicate.

I'm adding the Balamb vs. Galabadia battle to my list. The first time Squall and that Galabadian soldier fly above the ledge is just amazing. Another jump into the screen moment for me.
