Good to see VI as 1 but VII at 2 and X at 4 while XI is at 7? Don't agree with that. :P

No way should 8 have been so high up. 8 and 9 should have switched places.

I would have put Final Fantasy VII at #1 and gave FF9 a much higher spot.

Why is 9 so low? Why is 10 so high? Why do they still make these lists?

I disagree with most of the list. I haven't gotten to play FF6 yet, but by reputation I feel it deserves the #1 spot. VII is too high, as is X and XI. VIII and IX are too low.

VIII was not high enough, a marvelous game that was unfortunate enough to have to live in the shadow of VII.

I'm not as well versed in the Final Fantasy saga as I'd like... but I would like to play 6, especially after this list... plus what I did play of 9 seemed like an amazing game.

I would rank 7 over 8 any day. 7 gets lots of hate but atleast its level up and character progression is not absolutely broken like 8s. Completely destroys all challenge when you figure it out. Realistically, why are you punished for leveling up and why is there items that gives you auto limit, invincibility, 0 defense on enemies not to mention you can literally overpower Squall within the first 5 hours of the game and never look back.

Final Fantasy VI deserves the first position. No other game of the series did eveything right and with great quality and creativity: gameplay, story, characters, soundtrack and graphics.

I agree with almost everything else. I think Final Fantasy IV should be the second and Final Fantasy VII the third. Final Fantasy X should be the eleventh, just before Final Fantasy XI. The lack of a world map was the stupidest idea ever.

I agree with VI at #1, but VIII and IX should be #2 and #3 respectfully. VII should be near the bottom of the list, along with X, XI and XII. I, II, III, IV, and V are ones I really don't care much about.

VIII was easily one of the worst in the series. Hands down. Terrible love story, hated the combat, and the junction system was just fail. I had to drain magic from enemies just to use it? really?!

I disagree with8 being one of the worst but I damn, I think the idea that 8 is better than 7 to be absolutely crazy. 8 was inferior in terms of almost everything.

True my friend. Ultima VII: The Black Gate is not only the best in the series, but it's the best game of all time in my opinion.

meh ill never have the time to. I never called myself a uber ff fan,but I like the series. The reasion my name is ff94 is because I couldint think of a name at the time and I just made it up. I would change it but i dont know how. i also ran into to many spoilers to enjoy it.

The story, the setting, the characters, the enemies, the battle system... why do I have to justify why I liked it more than VII? I thought and still think VII is an incredibly overrated game in the FF series... and games, especially like XI never get the recognition they deserve.

This is like telling me I'm "wrong" for preferring broccoli to cauliflower because I think cauliflower tastes terrible.

I... roughly agree with that list.

I know it's blasphemous to say so these days but I frankly didn't like IX all that much... :o

There's no accounting for taste.

Also wow, after 8 years people are still hung up over the omission of a world map...

I think Ultima IV is more important but VII is the better game. I actually like Serpents Isle better than The Black Gate, and when I mention Ultima VII, I mean both parts.

Oh man, FFVI fanboys are the worst.

Anyways, overall I think FFIX deserves the top spot for being the highest quality FF in all areas. I don't like FFIX though.

They got the #1 choice right, but VIII is WAY too high on that list.
