Okay i feel VII is the best for multiple reason such as the storyline I fell that this is definately the best story line...Also the characters I dont think there is another game that is as in depth about there character background...Plus the battle system each game brings something new to the battle system like the magic on VIII or the summons on X or the free roam fighting on XII...These are a few of the reasons I fell this game is superior to all the rest...
