I-VI ....... or VII-XIV?

[Dan558]

It's hard to say my favorite of the main series are 6, 7 and 9. So by that logic alone it would seem I prefer the middle to late games. My most hated games of the series are 12 and 8 so that seems to knock it back down. Considering 11 and 14 are mmo's (and I know 11 was not a very fun one) that also brings down the later series.

So overall I-VI were more consistently good but VI-XIV have the stronger in the series (good and bad). If, say, I had to banish half the series out of existence VII would be the deciding factor on what side to keep (whatever it's considered, "old" or "new" I would choose to keep). If Tactics is considered as one of the newer games then I would have to say adios to the older part of the series.

I was just wondering, did anyone else start off from the more 3D games, then go back to the 2D games and actually think they were just as good, if not just as awesome as the rest of the games?

I reached a point where I had to play the older ones if I were to play Final Fantasy at all, my PSOne was dead, and I didn't own PS2 back then, those remakes for GBA sure looked appealing. However, I had worst possible start leaving me to wonder should I continue my march on older titles.

Playing Final Fantasy IV was like going through mexican soap opera, bad one while I'm at it, Final Fantasy V was just an overall bad game, luckily other titles were surprisingly good, Final Fantasy II, and VI in particular. I still prefer newer ones, as they have more developed story, and characters, I do however think highly of older ones, I think I would appreciate them even more if I played them in their respective time.
