I have to choose Fire Emblem.
...I don't really play enough games in other game series to warrant mentioning them as a series...
Also, I know I have Monster Hunter in my interests while Fire Emblem is excluded, but I figured it'd be obvious I'm into Fire Emblem if i'm on this board and I've actually only played 2 Monster Hunter games. I would have mentioned hunting games in general...if it wasn't for how the only one I've actually played so far is Monster Hunter.
I believe in judgment of humans through their judgment of fiction, for nothing else tells better of their disposition freed from apprehension.

- If there is a racing series I ever want to go back to and play over and over it would be F-Zero. I know there is Mario Kart but F-Zero is all about skill and the speed. Just talking about it makes me wish they would make another F-Zero already.
I really wish there was a more recent F-Zero game, super fun racing series. I do like racing games a fair amount, Need for speed being a good one. I loathe Mario Kart as it punishes people for winning on account of item box rng. 
My favourite games series are Crash bandicoot and Spyro, those two characters are heroes of my childhood and I've grown up with them ♥
I love Ratchet and Clank too and Rayman. yes i'm someone who love platforms games.
Ahh man, Ratchet and Clank was a great series. Super fun platformer with progression elements of upgrading weapons. Overall a really nice mix back when I played them. Speaking of platformers, I'm looking forward to a Hat in Time.
Ace Attorney- I love the over-the-top character designs and their awesome animations. Obsessively watching Phoenix Wrong videos years ago didn't hurt either.
Ahh, yeah this'd be up there for me as well. Enjoyable characters, Good writing, and you can really get behind those that you're protecting in a court room. I've heard a fair amount of tales about people wanting to be a lawyer merely because of this series.

Hmmmm I think I have to say it's a toss up between Mass Effect, Dragon Age and Borderlands. Mass Effect takes it right now because of those three it's the only one where I've played all the games. It was also very cool how all your decisions carry over to other games. Something you did in ME 1 could completely screw you over in ME 3. It's strange since I normally hate sifi games but I love that series to death.
I will not remove this until I complete the Ritual of the Mahjarrat quest in Runescape - started 4/18/15 - completed 12/20/15

Oh crap, I totally forgot about ace attorney...dammit brain what are you doing?
Btw blazer I highly suggest you start with yggdra union. Think fire emblem with the brutality of any other Atlus rpg. It's not necessarily super difficult, just extremely unforgiving.
Yggdra union was something else. It was a good game, but it was really unforgiving if you wanted to get good stats (by ending quickly) and not get owned later into the game.

I'm in the middle of a playthrough now (my first) and it is pretty good. Like many RPGs you just need to spend a bit of time with it for it to get good. Some elements aren't superb but overall it is a fun game with some nice music and visuals and worth $15 if not $20.

Anyways, favourite series? Wow, tough call - there's a lot. I'll take a different approach though.
Final Fantasy.
Is the chorus of groans here yet? 'Ugh, but they're not even that good, I hear. Blah blah blah.
FF is possibly the most important series to me in terms of impact, not just on me in relation to games, but actually on my life.
The first FF I picked up was VII, at the age of 9, out a second hand bin at Game for about £7.99. I had to ask my Dad if I could have it, as it was 11+. Regardless, I took it home, and began to play a game that changed things for me. Previously, all I'd played was Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, and a fair few platformers/racers. I'd played both Ocarina and Majora's Mask, and they were good (although the undead scared a young me in the years prior), but nothing had readied me for this.
I entered a world that felt alive. That opening into Midgar is still one of my favourites (Bioshock's is very hard to beat), a cast of characters that were a mix of entertaining, serious, and relatable. I was gripped. Never mind that the game was incredibly fun to play, with a great battle system, and beautiful scenery (ignore the blockhead monstrosity characters) along with lovely audio. I'd never played anything like this. I wanted more. I needed more.
We bought a PS2 soon after, and my first purchase was FFX. Again, I entered another story, a world that absorbed and enchanted, awed and enthralled. I started to try and find the others, explore these stories, feel apart of it. When they started to run out, I started to look for similar things - games that whisked you away to epic adventures, the rise and fall of characters, magic and myth. My gaming rock had affixed itself.
It changed my real life too. I started to become more and more into games as an interested, and it affected how I look at the world, how I acted, what I felt. I'd also started to read more, especially fantasy and sci-fi, to feel the same things - that sense of wonder as you're drawn along a story - always wondering what happens next. I took an interest in the ideas behind religion as I looked up the origins of what I saw. Maybe it would've gone down a similar path, but I can't say.

I've played all except the MMOs and XIII-3, and I've enjoyed them all immensely.

I have access to Xbox Live Gold but I had already bought it on Wii U and I much prefer the Wii U to playing on my Xbox One, so yeah. Plus it's a game worth buying and... WHY AM I EVEN SAYING THIS I am taking your comment too seriously XD point is that it's worth the price which can't be said of a lot of games (and in general it's why I don't like buying PS4/Xbox One games near launch, because they price drop SO fast and I can save so much money by just waiting, whereas the quality 3DS/Wii U games usually take months or years to drop to anything considerably cheaper than the original asking price, with the exceptions of some 2nd-party and 3rd-party stuff)

Yes, fair enough - it was more for anyone who was interested in it who didn't already own it. It was on my 'to buy' list before it turned up on Games With Gold.

well obv, Fire Emblem. Absolutely love it to bits and try to get everybody I know who sort of likes games to play it.
BUT
besides that, I would like to say the Persona series is my favourite but I've only played 2 games in the series (P3P and P4/P4G) but honestly, Persona 4 Golden is my favourite game of all time. First played P4 a couple years ago on PS2 but bought a Vita just for P4G and have played it through a couple times. Characters are all so memorable, unique plot, fun fast-paced gameplay and lots of sidequesty type stuff in the social links etc etc SO DEEEEP AHH I LOVE IT FJDLKSJFJDS
Honorable mention: Pokemon, Zelda, Ace Attorney, Danganronpa, Tales of, Valkyria Chronicles (this would be my favourite after Persona)

I freakin love these games.
Fire Emblem - Been playing the series since I was 13 and enjoy each title!
Tales - I love the characters and the battle system.
Super Robot Wars (well the Z and OG series) - They have such interesting stories and so much fanservice (the good kind) Gunbuster and Macross together ? yesplz They're really fun to play too.
Pokemon & Digimon World games - I can't choose one, I love both ;n;
I would say Persona but i only played 3 and 4. I did play 2 but I didnt like the combat system and 1 just creeps me out haha
You ready?

^Fire Emblem is great
Tales was great
rest, no comment/response except for a little chuckle at "the good kind" of fan-service, lol

I think he means that it's not sexual fanservice but the type which relies on having the moments fans or would enjoy...stuff like saving Fafner pilots from their canon deaths, getting beautiful and intricate attacks, or hiding inside jokes are all aspects of fanservice which some might call "good" as compared to the oft discouraged sexual fanservice.

ahahaha I'm well aware, I just thought it was funny the way he called it "the good kind" XD and it's actually even funnier because Kory likes to play games because of the "bad kind" of fan service too, lol
ultimately good/bad are subjective anyhow so while I knew what he was talking about...
