do the new ones just keep getting better?

I am a big ff fan and, right now im awaiting ff 12 but if i were to ff 8 or 7 or 9 again I think it would be kinda boring... anyone agree with me? It seems the only ff i can play is ff 11 and 12.imranmotala

Sad that is, cause the older FF are the best.  FF12 will be good too but if you can't stand to playthe older ones then you can't really call yourself a true fan.

I'm playing FF1 and FF2 when I have time too, but other then that I haven't had time due to lots of work from college, and playing Grandia 3, but I still play the old ones too.

Kingdom is soooo right, if you can't enjoy the old FF games you can't cal yourself a fan.

It's the old games that holds the true FF feeling.

Thing is I still do play the older ones, but since i beat them i can only find myself playing 5 hours in and getting bored.. I guess thats just the way i am, can't beat a game more than once. :(

I think no. The storylines keep getting better, but the characters cr**pierHavQ-san

That would be kind of hard, also it depends how far back and how far forward you are talking about. Are we going from Final Fantasy I to XII or from VII to X-2?

To the original poster I believe its all a question of taste. Everybody has a different installment they enjoy more than the others, each new installments doesnt necessarilly get better, although it does always meet a hallmark of excellence that has made each new entry into the series such a thrill to play. Each new game has done something in someway that has made it stand out to the fans and for that reasons only as our memory dulls can we say that the new ones get better, because the bar gets progressively higher (at least in terms of graphics and sound, because a great story is timeless).

I think that FFX and VII have been the best although the others have been good.RErikku12

Yeah i think that ffx and ffvii are the best out of all the series and ff12 won't be as good as them i don't think. But all the ff games are exellent!

Nope, they don't

Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy VI were better than Final Fantasy VII and VIII.

Final Fantasy X was better than Final Fantasy X-2

Final Fantasy VII was better than Final Fantasy VIII

Final Fantasy IX was better than any other Final Fantasy

NOTE: These are just my opinions :P

Graphicwise they do, storywise they got lame after IX, and yeah.

I don't think they got lame storywise after IX since there are only two FFs after based on the same one story. And I'm not counting XI.

What people dont seem to realize is when we're talking about story its all a matter of opinion as to whether one is better than the other because they are all good.

Do the new ones keep getting better? From a technical standpoint there is no doubt about it, graphically, soundwise the series is forever increasing the standards by which we judge all other RPGs so there is no arguing that Final Fantasy VI was better than V, VII was better than VI, VIII was better than VII and so forth and so on, but only when we look at it from a relative perspective in terms of whats available in terms of presentation and sound. When people say "Oh, but the story back in the day..." or "The system in Final Fantasy..." these arent standards these are preferences and opinions, which are NOT universal.

Although obviously with the advance of technology the ability to present story's in a more involving manner means that some newer ones may be better in every way (one of the reasons Final Fantasy VII got the praise it did).

Yeah, the FFVII game sure was a notch above all the others in graphics and gameplay, then when 8 came out it got even better, and so on.  I'm just saying they could have done something better with the CC game for the Gamecube cause it still looked good and prolly played ok too, but the sotry wasn't very entrancing and even the gameplay was a little on the bad side with that bucket you had to have with you at all times out in the world.
