First of all, the music would definitely have to be the hardest. Nobuo Uematsu is a great composer. I'd give a thumbs up to Matoya's Cave from Final Fantasy and Eyes On Me from Final Fantasy VIII, but in the end Final Fantasy VII comes through with One Winged Angel, The Cry of the Planet, Cosmo Canyon, and Those Chosen By The Planet.

This is another difficult one. I'd say that the characters from Final Fantasy VII are the best. Red XIII's story, Cid's story, Barrett's story, and especially Cloud's story touched me.

This is a close one between Squall and Cloud. (Spoilers) Squall had the thing of pretending not to care but really did and was more sensitive than the usual guy because his best friend was taken away. Cloud had hated himself for being so weak. He tried to impress Tifa by saying he would join SOLDIER but he couldn't do that either. He was so unimpressed with his strength that he offered to be a science experiment. (Spoilers) In the end, Cloud wins.

Final Fantasy VIII was great but it was too time consuming. Final Fantasy VII wins again. I like being able to choose how your character is built up.

This is the only one where one person kills everyother person in the race. Sephiroth is beyond the best. He was so cold-hearted and corrupt, but he wasn't altogether evil. He thought he was doing his work for the best of the planet. That's cool. Plus he looks cool.

The best storyline again would have to be Final Fantasy VII. It was great, with Aeris dying and all. The Sephiroth story was good too. The Cloud story was great. It starts really picking up after the beginning of disk 2. (Spoilers) You know when you find out Sephiroth isn't the real Sephiroth and Cloud was a clone (Spoilers).

The ending I'd have to say would be Final Fantasy VII. (Spoilers) It shows you that just because the game was completed doesn't mean the good guys won. Fortunately the life stream stopped Meteor before it got deeper. (Spoilers)

I'm an all around Final Fantasy VII guy you could say.
