Final Fantasy- Which one?

[sci-fi girl]

FF X of course, though bliztball drive me crazy. FF XI wasn't so bad but the dress spheres thing "n'était pas terrible".

VI and VII, were the best. VIII, IX, were both cool. X, X2 were aweful. And up to V were ok but the crystals got boring. Oh and the PSX version of tactics is awesome, but the gameboy one sucked.

can someone please explain to me why VII is so great? I just don't get it...

Why is Final Fantasy VII so great? I think it may be because it might have been the first one that people may have played on the Playstation, so it has good memories for them. Then again, they may feel the same as me. I liked FF7 because of the storyline. It wasn't perfect, and it looks very dated now, but it's still got charm to me.

It's great (laff) because people are suckers for oversized weapons, bad boy protagonists with mental problems, excessively insane villains, and women with oversized knockers.

Also, I bet the fact that it was the first FF game on a large-capacity console had something to do with it, too. FF6, being restricted to a super nes cartridge, was only something like 3 or 4 mb in size. FF7, being on 3 CDs, was well over 1gb--this is a huge leap.

FF4 was the best on Super Nintendo and FFX was the best on PS. I am so looking forward to play FF3 on DS!!!

Hey, you forgot FF V. But i only played it and IX. Both are good.

I liked VIII the best. I've been playing a lot of XII lately and I actually like it a lot. I really expected to hate it. As I did with X.
The promo pics for XIII look amazing it's looking very sci-fi I cant wait for it.

FF12 managed to knock 7 and 10 off my favorites list. I love the story it tells and the way it tells it, and as a game it's quite fun. Only that there's a little too much of it- I don't have hundreds of hours of free time.


FF7 had a really compelling storyline. I'm still not sure what I really like about it, since it features a rather silly, new-agey sort of plot, but I still really like it anyway. The graphics are terrible, and even had I been introduced to it when it came out, I would have thought so. It belongs to that era of games and rendering capabilities that I don't like.

FF10 had a slightly less interesting story, though it still had its aspects, but as a game it's much better than 7. And FFX-2 is kind of weird, but it attempts some interesting things that I've never seen before in a game, and I've played it actually twice as much as the original in an attempt to get that blasted perfect ending.

FF9- I enjoyed it while I played it, but I won't be replaying it. It just doesn't have that extra something.

FF8- I liked, but I technically haven't finished yet. I think that's a better candidate for a remake than 7, honestly. 7 has a lot of humor resulting from the shabby spritelike graphics and bad translation that just wouldn't do well on a high-powered new system.
