The only FF games I've played through start to finish multiple times are IV, VI and X. I'm actually playing through VI and IX again now, so I'll be able to add IX to the list later and once I beat Crisis Core, I'll probably continue on with VII again.
There is a part of me that really wants to replay XII, but after spending 160+ hours in my first playthrough, I think twice about it. Maybe a story-only playthrough in the future...
FFX has good replay value at least for me and a lot of interesting stuff to do.
1. Get all ultimate weapons
2. Get all aeons ( I didn't get Anima and the Magus sisters on the first try in the Int version)
3. Destroy all dark aeons and unlock Penance
4. Max spehere grid for each character (255 luck for at least 3 characters)
5. Kill Penance which is the icing on the cake. :)
My regular routine is this,
i play through any new ff game the first time with out aiming high, that means to high levels or post game bosses or gatting every item, i just straight shoot the main story.
Then i go back and replay it, blizkreig style, get absolutley everything the game has to offer in terms of maxed stats all items.
ive replayed ff7 3 times, the last play through consisted of obtaing omnislash on disc one (it can be done, stop hating) and morphing everyhting into stat boosters (255 for every stat for every cahracter = 210 hours of playtime)
I did the exact same for ff8, on the 3rd playthrough, i obtained the lionheart on disc one (redicuouls amount of card games played with zells mother was an excrutiating grind)
played 9 4 times, 3rd playthrough was a 15 hour clear for the excalibur 2 and the 4rth playthrough was to obtain everything else
im still playing ffx again for the 2nd time, and im sitting at 310 hours, doing the monster arean, earning all thes tat boosting spheres and putting them in all the empty nodes on the entire sphere grid to get everyoen at 255 in all stats, including luck!
beat 12 twice and did everything it had to offer, probably not going back to that anymore
ive beated 4 once and 5 once, and cleared 6 3 times twice on the snes back when it was released and once again on anthology for the ps1
I don't really like playing through games more then once but I have played FFX at least twice and Final Fantasy Tactics at least five times when I was younger.
The only FF's I've never played more than once are XII and VIII, because I did everything the first time through in them, and FFX-2, because I disliked it.
I've played FFI so many times, i like to create unique parties with cool names. :P
I've replyed 7, and 10... And I'm on my second play through of Crisis Core (This time on Hard)... and then I think I'm going to play through 12 again...
12 is my favorite...
