You'll find a few stragglers on SW who'll agree; I am not one of them, however. My personal favorite is FFIX, the characters have way more dimensions to them than others in the other FF installments, plus the amount of homage that game pays to its predecessors is staggering.

I'm a bit partial to 7, since it was the first game I had ever played like it, but even so 9 was better than 8.

I found FFVIII to be easily the best while FFIX was the worst. FFVII in between.

I know that there are many FF7 loyalists here, but in my opinion is goes FF8>FF9>>>FF7.

Tentatively, it's IX, then VII, then VIII, but it's been a while since I played VII.

I did, I got it reinstalled and everything. But now, now I know what your tastes in games are like and will not consider playing it again now.

Of course 9 was the best. 8 had the cheesiest story known to man, not to mention one of the most broken FF games, and 7 was just mediocre all around.

FF IX was awesome. I loved Zidane, Vivi and the rest.

My favorite is Final Fantasy VIII. Reasons is because i conntected to the story more and characters were great, especially Zell. Overall the gameplay was fun and entertaining.

Final Fantasy VII is my second favorite Final Fantasy then followed by Final Fantasy X then IX.

FF8 was fun, but the junction system was an abosolute disaster. Overpowered characters to the max.

ff7 = great story, great gameplay ff8 = the rise of emo to the mainstream, confuse junction system, addictive card battle, pocketstation is a plus ff9 = less emo, a douchebag protoganist, very addictive to card battle, and how the hell can I beat ozma?

FFIX was the best on the PS1 days. VII had the most impact on the genre I think but hasn't really aged well.

I'm not the type to hate on 7 because it's popular. But I'm also not a rookie who thiks It's better then 6. That said it's 7,9,8 for the PS1 era. I thought 8 was crap. Almost as bad as 13.

I can never understand those that said 13 was crap, yes it lacked a lot of the features that makes an ff game, but it was far from a crap game.

Your poor child, well, maybe it'll be fine, I doubt kids these days, or those days will be able to put it together.

Lol with no voice overs for the earlier games you'll need to make sure your pronounciation is correct. From the ages of about 7-11 i was adamant she was called Rina :S

FF9.It just oozed of awesome. FF8 would be dead last, with 7 in the middle.

caseystryker

Disaster, no, but it did make characters overpowered if you did enough grinding. It's my favorite partly out of nostalgia. I think, overall, that IX is a better, more balanced game.

The last time I played the game I did it without grinding. Somehow this ended up being one of my most overpowered playthroughs.

Still a fun game though. I love it.

VIII is the only PS1 game I've played for a significant amount of time (I finished it). Barely played IX, & only an hour or two out of Midgar in FFVII. While 8 is the best FF I've played, VII had this great atmosphere while in Midgar, but seemed to be lost when I left. IX seemed really interesting, but I literally only got to move the cloaked character through two sections (in some town/city - Something was going on like a circus or something?).

Anyway, yeah, FF8 is the best FF I've played that I've given a proper chance.

I personally loved them all, but my list would be,

FF7> FF8=FF9

I actually only played FF7 just last year, and thus I started for my newfound appreciation for Final Fantasy. Currently playing 12 now and loving it, but I'm kinda scared of trying 13. Nobody seems to like it :/

For me, yes it is better than FF7, in fact FF8 is my favorite FF game as well as my favorite JRPG in the PS1.

If not for the junction system, I might agree, but as it stands, no.

FF8 has way better art design though.
