Final Fantasy 9. Simple answer. I have played FF since the 1st. Beaten them all. IX was the best. Go ahead and argue but saying VII is the best is wrong.

This will always be a good arguement, I would say VII is the best because it single handedly influenced me to the RPG genre, but I really do like part IX alot.....good thread

12 took a more serious turn, with war and such. I found i wasn't "drawn into" 12 near as much as other FF.

i also think that 9 was awesome , far better than people make it out to be, i think alot of people just gave it no chance because they didnt like the look of zidane, i know alot of FF players but they all dislike 9 and they all dislike zidane. i loved 9 but i also liked 10 and 7 and 6, i didnt like 8 at all though, and something didnt feel right about 12 either, id say the best is between 7 and 9, but if 6 was on ps1 aswell that would be there with them, i know graphics shouldnt matter but it would make it that little bit more immersive, however i played 6 only a few years ago, maybe had i played it on release it would have impressed me graphically the same way the others did, so i dont have the best situation to judge, i also think that there is a taint to 7 nowadays, people have become fed up of everyone saying its the best and it has ruined a little of its charm, so i think that hurts it a little althouh it shouldnt. as for 9, since many people criticised it, it feels like an underdog to me, so i like the idea of wanting it to be my favourite, maybe that makes my decision a little biased, its really difficult to be fair when you have heard others discuss it so i think if i ignore all that as much as possible, id say 7 is probably the best in my opinion and that is about as clear an answer as i can give :lol: however, id rather 6 get remade than 7, it was amazing, and had i played it on release i think i may have been calling that the best in the series instead, but ill never know now. maybe im looking at it too deeply lmao.

I have played and beaten 7, 8, 9 and 10 and in my opinion 7 is the best, the story is just to good, although 8 comes pretty close, 9 was great, but it was basically a copy of previous titles

Seven was not the best but was probably the most important, as it brought the RPG genre the mainstream audience. I liked IX alot but some people would probably have gotten offput by the look of zidane. I hated XII and its offhand battle system. And they made Van looks like a ugly little blonde girl cosplaying as Aladin.

to be honest 6 is my favorite and is far superior to 7 in my opinion . but 7 holds a special place in my heart mostly for nostalgia reason's and it's obviously an all around good game whether it's you favorite or not , you have to recognize it's greatness . but there are better final fantasy games and rpg's , just not any that are all around or overall better imo . final fantasy 7 is an all around good gamefor it's time but only hold's up in most category's . that's why i want to see a remake or sequel to final fantasy 6 and 7 ( 8 to ) , just to see how they would stack up in the different category's that make up a good game now that technology has improved .

There is no best FF. Everyone has their own preference for which they think is the best. As for me, I don't have a favorite FF, but I do think Chrono Trigger/Cross are better than FF :P.

I think XII's biggest problem was the way the story progressed. The story itself wasn't bad. The issue was the time between cutscenes. There were times in the game where you spend like 5 hours just traversing the different places without a single cutscene.

yeah. when it comes to FF games, i'm really big on the story aspect part of it. though, i did like how they made XII more like an MMO in that there wasn't the random battles per say.

I also played all FFs except 11(MMOs arent for me), and I would have to say 4,6,7, and 10 are my favorites. No offense to anyone as it is all opinion, its just that 8 seemed a little slow/boring and 9 seemed childish. My only gripe with 12 was a major lacking storyline with simple characters.

FF7 was amazing, but overated in comparison to the others. The only thing that almost makes me hate 7 now isnt the game, but the extreme fanboys that made SE turn FF7 into metro-sexual spinoff city. I hope 13 is great, but my focus is shifting towards mistwalkers lineupnowadays. I just hope Lost Odyssey and and Blue Dragon justify my 360 purchase lol.

Final Fantasy 8 > Final Fantasy 7. Final Fantasy 9 was good until the end... all of a sudden some big dood comes out of nowhere and you have to fight him. Then he dies in a couple of swipes. The End. Big let down for me.

FFIX had the easiest final boss of any RPG I've ever played. Especially considering I had Thievery maxed to 9999...

I dont know, The last boss in FFX was this little bug thing called Yu Yevon.. after every attack he heals himself for 9999 HP. so all you have to do is cast reflect on him, after every attack you will be fully cured!

i'm voting for Final Fantasy 2. That's 4 over in japan. Cecil and Kain were great. thinking back on that game just makes me feel old since it was released back in '91 :(tgschmidt

I have to agree, FF2 (FF4 in Japan) had alot of twists and turns withoutsections where you just had to level up for a couple hours. The games since have tended to drag on in the middle.

Abicus7

Or just cast zombie on him and then full heal and its over.

I think every FF or even every RPG for that matter should scale the last boss to how powerful you are at the end. If I go around leveling every character up fully, finding all ultimate weapons/items/armor, defeating all extra or hidden bosses I still want the last boss to be a major challenge. I didnt really like FF8, but at least it gets credit for being the last FF with a tough last boss.
