I'm glad there's a thread for all things Final Fantasy (being a big fan myself

). I think I've just about played every FF game released on PSone and PS2 (including FFX-2, although it wasn't as good) - with the exception of the online one, and loved just about all of them. I'm with Sephiroth on this one, though, my favourite has to be FFVII.

I'm heavily biased, as it was one of the first games I ever bought for the original playstation (I still have the original game, too), but I just loved the story, the characters, the materia system (yes, I know I'm odd) and the music. I still think that this game has one of the best soundtracks of its day. I'll play it through occasionally on the PS2 for nostalgia every now and again, too.

Advent Children was a great follow up, and I was glad to see that they'd kept most of the original music for it, too. The Cloud-Kadaj fight has the original Jenova music, and as for One Winged Angel...Well, what can I say?

I played Dirge of Cerberus a little while ago, but whilst it was good to get the backstory to Vincent it took me a while to get used to the change in format (ie, standard RPG to FPS). I haven't unlocked all of the bonus features yet, probably because I keep getting sidetracked by other games. I'd love to play the other prequel games, too.

I guess my other favourite out of the FF series would be FFVI. I loved the amount of characters in the game, and the storyline was excellent, in my opinion. Mind you, I loved the challenge of Omega Weapon in FFVIII. Not quite the same level of satisfaction as beating Emerald or Ruby Weapon, but still pretty good.

That said, I've recently finished playing through FFXII, and it seems that the series is still going strong. I'm of two minds about a remake of FFVII for the PS3, though. The original has too much charm in those naive, blocky graphics. That's not to say that I wouldn't love to play it, though.
