My first and favorite is VIII. Yes, part of it is because it was my first, but out of the FFs I've really played through, I've become more immersed in the world of FFVIII than the others. Maybe that'll change once I have a few more FFs under my belt, but I don't see it happening. I love the world Squaresoft created for VIII. The Gardens, the cities, the world in general, a very good soundtrack (X rivals it though in my opinion), and how the story and characters evolve as the story goes on. Oh, and Zell. Zell is cool.
