Which Final Fantasy do you like best?

[Zylos]

As an obvious understatement, Final Fantasy seems to be a popular video game series. Some people love to play Final Fantasy games once every month, some people want to be allowed to marry the games, some people could care less about them. Some people like Final Fantasy VI the best, some people like IV the best, some people would rather hang themselves than play any of them. Some people are absolute fans of Final Fantasy VII, some people wonder why Final Fantasy VII is viewed as the "most popular", some people know that it's because of the endless wave of Cloud/Tifa and Cloud/Sephiroth porn. But, no pun intended, there is no "final" word as to which of the games is the best.


Out of all of the games (exluding remakes, ports, the SaGa series, the Chocobo series, and all future games),
Which of these 24 Final Fantasy games would you say is the greatest?

[modern algebra]

Tactics all the way~

[Sophist]

7 and 9, mostly. Didn't even know the games were remotely popular until years after they were released, never went to GameFAQ's or any other place during that era.

[tSwitch]

4, 6, and 9 are my favorites.

[Grafikal]

I like a lot of the newer-ish ones (6+), but that's mostly cause I haven't played any of the older except for Mystic Quest, which I have sitting in my SNES right now. As for my two choices, I checked 9 and 10. 9, is by far, my most favorite FF game to date.

[Dwarra?]

Crystal Chronicles, I actually really enjoyed it more than I should've.
That and Dirge of Cerberus ._.

[Roph]

5, 7 & 9, in that order

[Moss.]

VI and VIII.

[Esmeralda]

5, 8, 9, 10 and 10-2

[Kokowam]

10 and 7. Not in any order. Those were the only ones I played to the finish. I'm trying to play 9, but PSX is D:

I also finished 10-2 but that was eh. It could have been much better. I finished the game with, what? Characters sub-level 35 It was too easy and yeh.

[Lazer Ki]

Isn't 3 and 6 the same game?

[Kokowam]

Tactics all the way~

Oh yeah, I forgot about this one. This one was pretty cool, too.

[Zylos]

Isn't 3 and 6 the same game?

It's fairly common knowledge at this point that the North American version of the SNES Final Fantasy II is actually Final Fantasy IV in Japan, and the North American version of the SNES Final Fantasy III is actually Final Fantasy VI in Japan. All of the games listed are for the actual games as they were in Japan, so if you want to vote for the North American version of the SNES Final Fantasy III, vote for Final Fantasy VI.

[Lazer Ki]

Oh. No wonder why no one voted for III xD

[Holkeye]

VI & Tactics. Revenant Wings and the DS CC games are awesome too. Also, Mystic Quest is not a FF game.

[EvilM00s]

Are you sure, Holk? I woulda swore the title was Final Fantasy Mystic Quest. I've been wrong before, though...

6, 8, Tactics. Even though 4 has my favorite character, overall the other games win out.

[Holkeye]

It was only called that in the US, to sell more copies. Its really called Mystic Quest Legend.

[EvilM00s]

I stand corrected, sir, thank you.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_Mystic_Quest

There's a lot of Mystic Quests, this one was a spin off that barely vaguely resembles a Final Fantasy at all. However, I included it because it's not part of another series and some people do consider it a Final Fantasy. It's not like it matters, I doubt anyone in their right mind's going to give it a single vote.

[joy]

Tactics and FFXII.. I <3 Ivalice.
FF6, 4 and 9 also rank really high.

Just wish the Japanese test audience wasn't so scared of facial hair, we almost got to have Basch be the main character of FFXII.

[Moss.]

FFXIII Versus needs to hurry up and be released.

[SirJackRex]

Crystal Chronicles, I actually really enjoyed it more than I should've.

Me too, I loved it.

4, 5, CC and 9, in that order.
I actually really enjoyed Mystic Quest, am I the only one?

[Soul_Crossblade]

FF I, III and VI are my faves among the series.

FF VI was very a major breakthrough for Square in terms of storyline, musical score, character development, graphics etc. making it one of the epic RPGs of all time.

As for FF I, It was the game that saved Square's butt from being massacred by financial distress and overall a great and innovative game for it's time.

FF III introduces the Job system, many more innovations that evolved and some elements became a mainstay of the franchise.

[Lazer Ki]

I played FF6 up to the part you fight Kefka.

I got pwnt by him

so I stopped.

I played FF7 for 20 minutes and got bored.

[Grafikal]

The only part of FF7 I've played, that I remember (for some odd reason), is whenever you had to go around and get Cloud dressed up as a woman or something to sneak some place. I forget why or where though.
