[bent chocobo]

which final fantasy game do you think is the best ithink that ten is the best an always will be

[Gippal]

awwwwwwwwww final fantasy tactics (PS1) wasn't up there

so i voted FFX its my second fav

[Palazzo]

6 quite easily.

But where's X-2?

[Len]

FF9 is definitely the best one.

[King Fenii]

Hey! Where is FF Mystic Quest?! Let's say I wanted to vote for that!? Aw well, guess I'll just have to vote for FFVII...bummer...

[Crazy Chocobo]

Well... my favourite always has been Final Fantasy VIII. It was the first RPG I ever got in to. Once I started playing it, I couldn't stop. I love all the characters...(except Irvine, he really annoys me ). I really enjoyed the storyline all the way through. The bosses were sometimes a good challenge, especially Ultimecia/Griever and the Omega Weapon. The limit breaks in this game were excellent. Lionheart was definitely my favourite because it was so powerful and did a LOT of damage each time. The FMV scenes were great, I just really loved this game.

[Maridia]

FFVIII, it has my favorite battle system. Along with characters, music, and well everything. I know some don't like the whole junctioning thing but I loved it. Tactics would come close, with the stories and battle system, but in the end I would still have to go with VIII. I haven't played all of them, but hopefully I will someday.

[CecilDarkKnight]

Hey my favorite is Tactics!.... Not really, just making a point. My favorite is... wait for it... not yet... ok now....FF4!!!

[bent chocobo]

sorry to all the people out there who couldnt find the other final fantasy games in my poll . the poll wouldnt let me have more than ten options so i figured that i should put simply 1 to 10 sorry!!!!!!

[Angantyr]

I am going with V, it was a great story and had a killer battle system, I do not understand why it is the least popular, I want to play it again but I have sooo many other games that I havent beaten lined up.

[Ted Zanarukando]

I vote for Final Fantasy X. Final Fantasy X is well known for its soundtrack and battle system. Suteki Da Ne is the most wonderful song I ever heard, and then there is To Zanarkand, To the Ends of Abyss, and We Are Al Bhed, and other songs. Final Fantasy X has the best work of Nobuo Uematsu in my opinion. The world of Spira is immersive. Anothing I like is that the places are contiguous to the overworld, in terms that there is no real world map. However, that is one of the things Final Fantasy X is criticized for. Final Fantasy X has some spells such as NulBlaze and NulFrost, which were previously in Final Fantasy I. Each Aeon has an excellent summoning sequence. Final Fantasy X is original to some extent, such as Sphere Grid and Conditional Time Battle. In Final Fantasy X, you can switch party members during battle, which is something you cannot do in Final Fantasy VII. This feature was first used in Breath of Fire IV.

However, Final Fantasy X has garnered mixed reactions, especially near the time of its release in 2001. The term mixed reactions means that there are many who adore the video game very much as well as there are many who absolutely detest it. Final Fantasy X was criticized for its world continguity, linearity, controversially sounding voice acting in the case of Tidus and Yuna, and sphere grid. Its direct sequel Final Fantasy X-2 has moreso garnered mixed reactions. Final Fantasy X-2 was criticized for its status as first direct sequel to a Final Fantasy game, for its radical departure from Final Fantasy traditions and motifs, for its Charles' Angels theme, and for supposed overreliance on fanservice.

Final Fantasy IV was my first Final Fantasy game.

[TomStrife]

Am I the only person who went with 7?

I thought it had the biggest fanbase.

[Anomaly]

Nah, I voted for Seven. Though granted, this is only because I came to FFVI and FFIV later in my life.

[PullThistrigger]

TIE: 8 and 10

Both Really fun to play, and loved the characters...

[azrafel]

I don't know... In my opinion, VI was the best. It just seemed to have the best story, and the most evil villain.

Kefka is just.....deliciously evil

[Knivez]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAHAAHA HAHA..Haa .....................7

[Cain Highwind]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAHAAHA HAHA..Haa .....................7

What's so funny? Seriously? Do you want to explain your choice a little bit?

Oh and since Tactics isn't up there, I'm going with VI obviously. No game moved me like VI did when I first played it.

You know in light of your recent posts, how you keep spamming the boards with such short replies. I'm issuing your first warning here and now.

[joanie]

i voted for 8. i love the story line and the battle system. it was the first one i have ever played and i was just shocked that i liked it and now i cannot get over the RPG's. i love them all but FF's are my favorite series!!

[bent chocobo]

[Anomaly]

How do you know its the best if you've never even played any of the other games?

[Palazzo]

They only said they haven't played VII. Not all of them.

[Anomaly]

Either way, if you haven't at least played a mjority of them there's no call in claiming the one you've played the most is the best.

Do you know how many they've played?

[Ultima]

I am placing my vote on Final Fantasy 9 all the way, it has a fantastic storyline, great spells, funny characters, and overload longer gameplay. FF9 all the way for me lol!

[Anomaly]

Do you know how many they've played?

If they haven't played VII, I can take a wild guess.

[Palazzo]

A very wild guess.

[TomStrife]

I`ve played:
I Beaten
II Beaten
IV (plan on buying Advance, I don`t like my PS version)
V (I got pretty far, but the plot just wasn`t enough)
VI ( 3/4 done...IMO, this is WAY more overrated than 7. I would like to plug a PS2 remake).
VII Beaten
VIII Beaten
IX Beaten
X Beaten
X-2 beaten
Tactics ( about half done)
Tactics Advance (last boss)

Favorite: VII


Is that a freakin majority?

[Anomaly]

A very wild guess.

Any wilder than your '75% of FF7 fans have never played any other FF' theory? I think not. Seriously bloke, keep your nose out of other peoples business.

[Advent Children]

FF7 should be the best game of the year!!

[LocoColt04]

Anomaly, Palazzo, simmer the fuck down guys. I understand that this thread is going to generate some differences in opinion, but you two are arguing over another member's statement and some failed logic. Grow up.


As for me, my favorite is six. Sure, I think seven is overrated, but I'll admit that six is a bit overrated as well. So is ten. That's the mark of good games. Each of those titles have their flaws, sure. In my eyes, six had the fewest.

I've cleared FFVI 34 times, for the curious.

I've also cleared every other Final Fantasy ever produced (multiple times, at that) with the exceptions of FFVIII (it's the only one I don't own) and MQ. Therefore, my opinions aren't really biased toward one game or another.
