VI, VII, VIII

In that order.
VI and VII could be switched depending on the day you ask me.

Tactics on PS. Dont know why I prefer it over VII even though I spent more time with VII. And Ramza looks like a girl.

Final Fantasy 6 and 7 are possibly some of the most overrated JRPGs ever. Ironically 6 was my introduction into the series.

Final Fantasy 6 and 7 are seriously not as good as people say they are.

Best Final Fantasy is Tactics. Its shakespeare compared to rest of the games.

This guy (and a few others in this thread) have the right answer. My intro to Tactics was playing the game on a borrowed PS1 where I didn't even have a memory card for it, so wasn't able to save.. it was still completely awesome, even then.

For SNES: FFVI (I'd like to add as well that FFV was pretty disappointing IMO)

PS1: FFIX

PS2: FFX

NES: FF3 (I think this version was only released in Japan)

Here is how I rank them based on what I've played:

Final Fantasy 9
Final Fantasy 10
Final Fantasy 8
Final Fantasy 7
Final Fantasy 6
Final Fantasy 4
Final Fantasy 3

I'm the only person on earth who thinks the series is actually getting better over time. :D

BTW I am probably bias because FF9 was the first one I played. :P

I've played 9, 10, 10-2, and 12. My favorites were 9 and 10, but 10 takes the cake. Tidus was annoying as hell though, that's one thing I hated. Haven't played anything older than 9, and I don't know if I want to because it all looks pretty dated and doesn't look like it's aged very well.

it's between Tactics and 6.

leaning more towards Tactics though. Calling the game "epic" is an understatement.

for reference

i've beaten: 1, 2, 6, 7, 10, 10-2, Tactics

Played enough of (past halfway)/currently playing: 3, 4, 9, 12, Tactics Advance

You'd be surprised how well the gameplay for both VII and VIII have held up - and don't forget VIII is only 2 years before IX. A lot of people to this day still say VII's materia system beats anything in 9 or 10, and VIII's junctioning system, whilst complicated, is one of the more malleable and customisable of any Final Fantasy.

VII is looking very dated now graphically, but hey, it's gameplay that counts (and it still boasts an exceptional score and story), and graphically VIII IMO holds up to IX quite favourably.

IMO I had the most fun with FFXI. I think it was because I like ff games and MMO alot so combined it was an amazing experience. By far the best MMO ive played and the best FF.

It's interesting to see threads made solely to compare a franchise various titles. It shows the quality of the titles to have such a wide range of opinions in regards to which one is the best

For me, FFVII=FFT,FFX=FFXI,FFVI and then the rest.

FFVII and FFT are my favorite.

FFVIII and FFXII are horrible.

I don't think of FFXI or FFX-2 as real FFs

FFX was good, it has a horrible protgonist an is incredibly linear (where is the world map ?!?!) but overall it's a great game. (Auron makes up for Tidus' failures)
