Square Enix recently asked its community to share their funniest moments in gaming, and the responses were priceless. Ranging from awkwardly humorous dialogues to weird glitches, the thread turned into a rather nostalgic journey for old-time fans of the iconic franchises of Square Enix such as Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts.
Ask any gamer about the most hilarious moments ever discussed, and you shall be told by many about that infamous laugh scene from Final Fantasy X. That very one: the painfully awkward dialogue between Tidus and Yuna has been elevated to the status of legend. The fans haven’t yet decided whether it is cringe-worthy or funny, but we are all agreed that its one scene that should never fade from memory.
And who can forget that fight in Final Fantasy VII? Cloud being sent flying into Crossdresser Alley had to be one of the most laughable moments. “@TheKnight20x” put it perfectly: “Cloud FF7 when he turns into a woman 😆🤣😂.” Classic!
Laughter reverberated through the rooms. Zidane commented on Dagger’s… softness, and @emerytpow was already laughing it away. And Sabin suplexing that train in FFVI? Because why the hell not?
The Kingdom Hearts guffawing with @AirThreep was just delightful about Sora asking Hades if Cloud was a Heartless, with Hades just shrugging as if to say, “Nah, dude’s weird.” Meanwhile, @Nelo0Wesker recalls Sora calling Riku “stupid” in KH1-brutal yet comical.
Now, there are some gems over FFXIV players, especially those concerning the Hildibrand shenanigans. @Mocita12 said just witnessing him suplexing his enemy was almost hysterical. @RaptorChan77 spoke of Estinien’s first meeting with Alisaie and G’raha-chaotic energy beyond.
Then there were those though, dissatisfaction coming from voices like that of @bxqlash, judging FFVII Remake “Laughable, it was just so bad.” Ouch.
But the real winner? The random nature of Final Fantasy humor: whether it’s Lightning flicking Mog in the forehead, Noctis and his group teasing Prompto about Cindy, or the guy in FFVII who just CANNOT stop laughing at your failed Junon drill—Square Enix go for brilliantly absurd comedy every single time.
Need a laugh? Any of these games will give you one. Or better yet, just take in that entire thread of hilarious moments. Because, at times, gaming isn’t all about drama—it’s the dumb things that keep us smiling.
Speaking of dumb things, leave a funny moment in the comments below. We certainly can use some laughs nowadays.
