Have to go with VII first one i played, and still play. IX is a close second though

I thought they were all crap to be honest

Played them all. Final Fantasy VII for me. There was just something special about playing that game for the first time. It had its flaws but was a fantastic and captivating experience from start to finish. Saying that Final Fantasy VI, X and the PS1 tactics are very close.

Worst, definitely FFX-2 closely followed FFII.

Zombienosh

yeah VII for me too.......

only one word for the game "Epic"

You have made a powerful enemy today.

Well maybe not powerful.

Definatly FF7, one of the best games of all time in my opinion.

I conquered it too..still have the saves.

Killed all the weapon dudes..and the one in the water

everyone is going to vote for 7...

Not so! I voted for VI. I really did love VII, but VI is my favourite. And actually, if you think about it, both VI and VII tell almost the exact same story.
Both absolute EPIC games... just VII is more well-known... and probably the first FF game most people played... (First one I played was FFII for the SNES. Which is actually FFIV, but with several features removed to "dumb-down" the game for the U.S. market)

My least favourite game was VIII, but then again I haven't played X or X-2...

FF VII here for me too!

once you had quad magic materia, knights of the round and pheonix materia you were sorted against the ultimate weapons.....and time was also needed, lots and lots and lots of time

I liked X, although not as much as I liked 7 or 8, but X-2 was like an electrofying cupcake after eating so many delicious cupcakes. You touch it, it shocks you. But the other cup cakes were so nice you just have to give it another try, and another, and another. At the end of the day you just end up singed.

I think there's a clear winner already.

Definitely FFVII, cos its the first one I played. So it introduced me to all that the final fantasy and rpg world has to offer. The gameplay is great, but the storyline is what really pushes it over the finishline far out in first place.

Square will have to do something amazing if they want people to relive a similar experience as to what they got from many of the great moments in this game the first time round, in any future fantasy game. Classic

I voted for X. I have VI, VII, VIII, XI and X and of them, I think X is best. It had everything a FF game should have... an addictive mini-game(blitzball), an engrossing story(goddamnit, I almost cried at the end!) and most important, the levelling up system was taken out, replaced by the Sphere Grid which allowed you create your own characters practically.

I know people have an addiction to VII. Many can't see past there addiction. Even if a better game were to come along, people would ignore it. It almost becomes worshipped too much. There are countless examples, not only in games but everything... music, movies etc. I love VII, don't get me wrong, but the quality of everything in X(graphics, sound, story, characters) far surpasses it.

the one where it was zelda ocarina of time, gway ff

Dunno why so many people talk about VI, it was a pretty poor game

(i only played it when it came out on the playstation, along with IV and V)

Gonzo

im surprised with ff7 totally leading this vote, it is an amazing game but there are many other ff games out there that are just as good almost:), X is perhaps my favourite final fantasy game as a single player game with ff7 and ff9 very close behind but final fantasy xi has taken up more of my time than any of the final fantasy game as its a multiplayer online title and is constantly evolving, it doesnt have the strong storyline driven formula of ff7 or x but is totally addictive in a different way so ffxi gets my vote.

Heathen!
Well, I guess we all have different tastes, but IMHO VI had the best storyline, characters, and a decent magic system (unlike a certain FF game *cough* VIII *cough*).
FF VII had an excellent storyline and characters too... but it was too similar to VI... however, it was still (and still is!) mindblowing stuff....

But hey... what about Chrono Trigger? :P

Question... did FF IV on the PS have the extra japanese stuff? Like Cecil having Dark Wave etc. ?

I have no idea, played FF4-6 on PS, but they are all so similar, I can barely distinguish them

Similar... so to you FF IV, V and VI are all similar? WTF? The fact that they are all 2D shouldn't make them similar.
They are all utterly different games. IV with it's power-levelling motif. V had the Job system I so love. VI with the "pre-materia" Esper system. Man, if you think these games are similar, you obviously haven't played them enough!

The only FF games I didn't enjoy were the FF Legends Trilogy on the Gameboy. Oh, and Mystic Quest (SNES) sucked pretty bad too.

Peteee

Final Fantasy 8 i thought anyway, although its the only one ive really played all that much tbh

Otacon, its called nostalgia!

evad_lhorg

7 but 6 follows close behind.

klap trap

7 but i like 8, 10 and even 10-2 is enjoyable in its own way and tactics advance is good. i didn't really enjoy 9 though

mp3guy

6 is good too, but 7 is the best. the rest are crap...

Gonzo

imo there is only one bad final fantasy game and its X2, all the others were great in their own little ways.

madrab

speaking of ffvii

adnent children......wow looks amazing

madrab

and as for advent children...

:-)

VII closely followed by VI for me !

I would love to see a remake of VI on a future console, 3D engine, remastered soundtrack etc...

VI had the best Final Fantasy opening(or main?) theme, bar none!
