We have three, maybe four games if you count XI, on the PS2, but which one is best? What games really had your attention when you played? Which battlesystem was superior and which lead character had the best story? And so on, what game desvere to be called the best FF on PS2?

Although I liked FFXIII very much, i have to say FFX introduced a lot of new concepts, like the sphere grid, the voice acting, real time cinemas and a great story with good characters. Another great peroformance was the OST. SO i ppretty much think it was the best of the PS2

I liked FFX but for me the clear winner is FFXII because I preffered the story and characters and the battle system.

This is a very difficult question, but a very interesting one.

On NES FF III was the best game, on SNES FF VI was the best and on PS1 FF IX was the best one. For me, these games surpassed the other FF games on their current console. I love both FF X and FF XII very much. They are equal to me, but they both had an advantage over eachother. FF X had a better story and FF XII had one of the best localizations ever.

These are all my opinions, so go easy on me.

You do know that I will now hate you right? Nah, just kidding with ya!

The best FF on PS2 is deffinaltey X in my eyes. XII had a better battle system, but X had the Sphere grid, and that was an amazing idea, and I loved the story. It was deep, revealing and emotional. The story in XII was not good, not good at all, it had WAY to many holes. It's like they tried to make a VII, but when they made VII I don't think they made all the holes in the story with intention. But in XII they did, and the story suffered from it

All the PS2 games had some great things (except FFXI but I already posted about its not-being-everquest ways, and yes that includes FFX-2) but overall FFX is my favourite on PS2.

I think you should go with FFXII to keep the multiples of 3 thing you have there :)

I'd go with FFXII. X was good, but I prefered XII's story, world, battle system, and even the characters to FFX.

I don't see how the story was better. The story in XII was just a big mess, it was a nice story telling and the plot was brilliant, but how you gor further in the story was a big failure. You got some new information, and then they just ditched that part and kept on the main story.

And that is what I would have done, but then Matsuno left and the potential of the story was lost. FF XII was great and it would have been my favourite FF if they just let Matsuno fulfil his vision. Instead they brought in the FF CC guy and he messed up the story. The story is good all the way to the Leviathan and then it gets worse. I do love the world, battle system and the game has many interesting characters. Now FF XII has to share the top spot with FF X for best PS2 game.

 X and  X-2 both are great fun and IV, V, and VII are masterpieces too.

  But I have to agree that FFXII is beyond a doubt the best on the PS2 for stunning graphics, fantastic story and gameplay that keeps you interested.   I am replaying it now

Not underrated, but rated correctly!

The story is weak, in almost ever aspects, it's starts of strong, but get worse and worse every second. The ending scene is one of the brigh sides, and it's not even that good if you ask me. The ending in X is epic, and not sure if any game can beat it.

Exactly!! All the characters are great except Vaan,everything else is superb.

But if FFIX was on PS2 I would go for that.

Even Penelo?  Whose sole contribution to the plot was getting captured?

Though on the other hand getting captured is par for the course in FFXII.  That's all you seem to do.

Agreed!

They had a great story, but a lousy way at getting you along the path. Which was bad, and that ruined the story for me. It was good, I will agree, but saying it was great it going far. It was to many holes in the story, to many silly things we didn't even need to know. Small things that ruined the story!

I agree, when you played it was great, it left you waiting for more and made you keep on playing, but when the game was over I sat there with way more questions than answers, sometimes this is great, but here it was horrible, it just didn't fit the game.

If your going for graphics and new stuff FFXII, but if you want the best story and al around good go for FFX. FFXI is also really good if you like online.

Sometimes the quick reply button doesn't generate paragraph tags, clicking the HTML button on the main text editor and putting

at the front and

at the end usually fixes it. But replace [] with < >
