Favorite Final Fantasy game

Well, when I was still in school, my friend and I would constantly debate aboutwhat was thebest Final Fantasy game ever.

"It's VII!" My friend says. "No game can touch its gameplay or its story. It's created a legacy, and it has the most badass villain of all time to boot! The story is full of crazy plot twists and awesome moments, like when Cloud learns that he has Zack's memories inside of him. It's perfect."

"Pardon me, but are you on acid?" I retort. "VI is the greatest. Kefka makes Sephiroth look like a total pansy. And the gameplay and the story? No contest. I didn't cry when Aerith died, but I was bawling like a little baby whenCyan watched his family pass on."

Then he resorts to petty insults. "Kefka is a bald clown. Sephiroth is a swordsman with the coolest sword ever! And besides, there's more to the story than Aerith's death."

I respond, "Way to derail the argument.Yes, VII is a good game, but VI'sstory is still the greatest, and you really connect with the individual characters. Barrett was too busy cussing and being a racial stereotype to make me care about him. Aerith just... died. Tifa was the token hot love interest. And don't get me started on Clou-"

Then I was cut off by my other friend, who insisted that XII is the best FF ever... :|

So, these are the games in the main poll, with IV thrown in because it's second only to VI in my heart. I want to know what you guys think is the greatest ever. Sorry if I left your favorite out in the main four (don't kill me, fans of X!).

When you do a Poll about something like this. LIST EVERY SINGLE GAME. Not "Other" thats just moronic.

But FFIV is the best by far IMO.

FFX

I'd go with VII. I liked the idea of Materia, and I found Barrett and Cid's cussing to be sorta funny, TBH...XD

Oh yeah, it's really easy to list every game with only five available slots. That's such an intelligent idea. :roll:

Gonna get flamed...but so far my favorite is XII.

Thats why you do the Poll outside of the featre and tally the votes every couple days. Or use a different site to conduct the poll.

"Other" Means nothing. It means there are 8 possible choices and no way to know which is what because most of the poll users do not post.

6. It what i grew up with.

Final Fantasy IX.

Tactics

Gonna get flamed...but so far my favorite is XII.

Final Fantasy IX.

Seabas989

This.

Vll for sure, i grew up with that game, i think thats the one that really defined the series

9 a tad bit more than 7.

VIII

Crappy poll if it doesn't include VIII and IX, since they seem to be some of the biggest fan favorites. (people who vote for VII are just boring)

Lol you picked like all the worst ones to put on the list. Anyway, my personal favorite is 9.

VII. It provided a wonderful sense of progression and adventure. And I quite easily fell in love with the music.

IV because it launched the FF series into a deep, engrossing story and set a new standard.

VI close second because it took the incredible foundation of IV and built on it

and close third VII because it launched the deep story-driven RPG into the next generation

Final Fantasy 7 of course! It had awsome gameplay, story, characters, ect!

Final Fantasy 12 was just terrible.

It's a toss up between VI and VII.

VI was amazing, especially given it's time of creation. VII was fantastic due to the materia system, story progression and overall length and story. VIII had an atmosphere that in my opinion hasn't been topped in a final fantasy game yet, for the most part at least. VIII also had the best soundtrack in my onion, as well as the added card game which in itself was an amazing addition. XII had an awesome battle system, great graphics, but in my opinion greatly lacked a story on par with the rest of the series. I would have to say VII or VIII, and VI is VERY close behind.

VII, it pretty much introduced me to the series and was one of the first big jrpg's I played.

FF X was my first RPG I ever played and introduced me to a whole strings of RPGs. FF X is my fav. out of the series.

IX, but since that isn't on your list, VI. I have to agree that if your going to poll us on our favorite game, that having "Other" means your taking the other 9 or so games that weren't listed and shoving them aside like "Those games suck, let's not list them andput themall under one poll name."

Considering I wouldn't even count myself as a Final Fantasy fan (and I don't particularly like RPGs), I've played far too many of them.

VII was my first, and it's probably the most forgettable. I played it through twice back when it was released, and quite liked the graphics during battles. I played it again a few years ago and really, I can't remember what it was about.

I can't remember VIII much either. I played it once during Christmas 1999 and there was a flying military academy? The only other memory I have is the end credits, but nothing in between.

I didn't really enjoy I or II, but I want to try the first out again at some point soon.

I found III incredibly dull and I'm surprised that I managed to play most of the way through.

I'm currently playing through VI for the first time and I'm having loads of fun. It is a genuinely good game in my opinion, and it actually has me engrossed. I've yet to try out IV, but I'll track it down soon.

Final Fantasy VII is my favorite. It introduced me to RPGs at a young age (10) and i really got into the story and gameplay. I really like the materia system too. Still play it to this day with as much awe and excitement as i did when i was 10.

Second fav is Final Fantasy X. I really enjoyed the sphere system and all the side quests/games you could do.

I like VIII.

FFVI it was the last 16 bit game with a great story and took advantage of the SNES mode 7

For me, it has to be VIII. IX is probably second, and then IV. I have to find VI for the GBA...

Same,I prefer more FFVIII over the other FF´s.

My favourite Final Fantasy game is

1. FINAL FANTASY IX
2. FINAL FANTASY VII
3. FINAL FANTASY X
4. FINAL FANTASY XII
5. FINAL FANTASY IV

My topfavoritesare FFI andFFXII, and could care less what others think about it. :P Other favorites include FF Tactics, FFV, and I guess FFIV. I loved XII because of the different cultures, story, and layout of the world. There is so much to do. :o I love FFI(the psp version) because it gives an old school touch while having nice crisp graphics and wonderful [updated] music.

Final Fantasy X is one of my favourites but FF7 just takes it. The game has so many memorable moments and characters had so much depth, loved every moment of it.

VI by a large scale.

Final Fantasy VI. Best characters, story, villians, music and art styl*.
