Okay, so I haven't posted on the boards in forever, and I kinda just thought up a random topic that I was pretty interested in. I'm curious about the opinions of others but I'll go ahead and do my list first. Well, I won't call it a list since it's not really in that format. Let me just go ahead and show you guys what I'm going for here:

Best on NES: FF3, because it was a lot more complex and refined in almost every way than the first two entries in the series.

Best on SNES: FF6, simply for the leaps and bounds it made for the series and JRPGs as a genre.

PSX: FF9, because I'm a sucker for nostalgia, and there was just something about it that hooked me in and wouldn't let go. The other two PSX FF games did the same, just not to the same extent. I don't really know why.

PS2: FF12, because even though 10 was a great game, this represents a huge progression in the right direction for the FF series in a lot of ways. The battle system was great in my opinion, even though I know a lot of people may disagree with me.

Best in the series would be a tie, between 9 and 12, because for me they are the pinnacle of the Final Fantasy experience. Now, that's just what I think. What about you guys?

For me it's Final Fantasy IV followed closely by Final Fantasy VII.

I have yet to play any of the FF games all the way through other than Tactics on the GBA and Kingdom Hearts but I enjoyed both!

Yeh best Final fantasy's...I can't remember FF3 and before very well or FF8 so I will leave them out, but the others I can remember. I am only judging the main series not the side ones like FF tactics and such. FF4 brilliant FF7 great, but way overrated FF9 Very good, it was a decent game. FF10 I would have to say even though its overrated it is the best FF. FF11 I have never played it, but its the only online FF so it must be the best FF at that. FF12 was a disgrace and very, very dry (the levels)...FF6 was decent in its time..FF5 was wierd (character wise) but had good parts. Lastly FF13 is coming out 2010 (at least thats what they predict) and well since the rumors of FF13 started like around FF10s time its gonna be a complete sell out, everyone knows about it and well its gonna break the record I am telling you...as for me I either think its gonna be a big success or a complete flop...I reckon there will be some haters either way though...I am still not completely sure what to make of it...good side it looks brilliant...bad side....looks a little like FF12 (battle wise). Some people may not see that as bad but well FF12 wasn't that big a success...especially compared with FF7 and FF10.

It's a tie between XII and X. VII got too repetitious for me. The old ones never impressed me. VIII was a bit too constricting. IX was a nice game. X-2 was surprisingly fun. XII had a great story, incredibly fun combat and varied locations and enemies. FFX had an incredible story with some unexpected twists, really fun combat and is one of the best gaming experiences available today. Also, X had great music. FFCC put too much pressure on teamwork, and got stale pretty fast but it's still good fun. FFXII: Revenant Wings surprised me with it's addictive gameplay. FFXI looks like the only FF I wouldn't like. FF: Tactics is probably a good strategy game but I'm not that much in that genre. And as an added bonus, I will add the Kingdom Hearts games: KH is one of my favourite games of all time with fantastic battles, enemies, bosses, music and graphics. KH:CoM is a solid, good game which is good in its own right and now has a remake on PS2. KH2 put together a smoother package, with a great story, graphics and gameplay and is just barely below KH on my list.

Wow, that's a long list.
