The best were the ones for the SNES.
IV, V, and VI.
They all kicked ass in different ways, especially the ones for the GBA. I bought a nintendo DS JUST to play those three games, and get the added dungeons, because the original games were too easy for me. But those new dungeons are hard as fuck, especially for FFV.
Plus they each had different systems/styles.
IV - Everyone had one set job, and mages would learn spells over time. Best story and best way to get introduced to Final Fantasy games.
V - You could train anyone in like 30 different job classes, and had to buy spells. Hardest and most versatile.
VI - Everyone had a set job, but anyone (except Umaro who sucked) could learn all spells by equipping an esper. Characters had most personality and best side-stories/quests.
VII, VI, and IX are pretty good.
VIII isn't bad.
X I did not like.
I've not played V or IV but will try to. Will not play I or II.
I have I and II for the GBA. I got part of the way through the first one, but its kinda boring. No character personality. Just the simple action, story, and thats it. I never got around to the second, but the system they have for leveling up in it, is very strange. Maybe one day I'll get around to them. I heard the second actually has the best story out of all FF games though, and a lot of people recommend it for the story alone.Quote:

IV, V, VI by far. I, II, and III are boring. VII and on are good but not as good as snes ones.
VII is one of the best games I have ever played... and I play a lot of fucking videogames
Overrated.Quote:

But yeah, IX and VII no doubt.
VII

Nah, I'm siding with Shagia on this. I love Final Fantasy VII no doubt, and it's one of my favorites, but I don't think it's the best. It's extremely overrated...I mean, it's a good game, but shit, it's often heralded as the best FF ever. The graphics were terrible, the majority of the characters sucked ass, and I never really liked Sephiroth as a villain. That, and it was rather confusing unless you played it a few times what with all the clones of Sephiroth, that shit with Jenova and Hojo, and the fact that Cloud made up his entire past based on Zak's memory. I mean WTF? That pissed me off.Quote:

1) FFVII
2) FIV
3) FFIX
FFVIII could have been the greatest game ever, going away. But the main characters sucked and the story was shit. Everything else (the visuals, the music, the side quests, (most of) the gameplay) was top fucking shelf.
A lot of people, it seems like to me, mistake its impact for its quality. I mean, I like FF7, but I honestly consider it something of the start of a downhill slide for the franchise. With the exception of IX and Tactics, there hasn't been a game in the series since 7 that I *loved.* 8 was meh at best, X and X-2 were good, but they didn't draw me in as IX and Tactics did and still do.Quote:

Currently some don't like the fact that FF7 is getting nutted over constantly so they choose to sort of dislike for that reason. To put it: FF8 was a good game, but a lot did not like it because FF7 was so great compared to it, so it looked like a bad game. The pont: FF7 was badass, I'll take chocolate, you can take vanilla.
Also you know what I hate? These gamers that think they are hella badass playing handicapped. Like for example, search Youtube or GameFaqs and they have these trial runs for nearly all RPGS. Example for FF7:
A no materia, a base weapon, single character, no power up run. WTF is the point of that? It's not fun and it is fu cking stupid.
Next thing you know they're gonna be like:
No Materia
No new weapons
no leveling up
single character
no items
no saving
and you have to play with your feet
Some of this stuff is ridiculous.
My beef with 8 was that I couldn't stand a majority of the characters, not that it wasn't FF7. But that's just me, and the people who dislike 7 just because it's so popular piss me the hell off. It's not my favorite, hell, it's not even in my top 3 FF or Top 5 RPG lists, but I will never deny the impact it had on the franchise, the genre, and the industry as a whole.Quote:

It's one thing to do it and I've tried something crazy like this for Castlevania SOTN, but when you brag about it, it's another.Quote:

If it took you less than 99 hours to 100% FF7 (and that's not just beating Sephiroth on the 3rd disc, it's completing the whole fuckin' game), you are not gamer enough.

Except for the fact that he looked like a faggot, he was one maniacal bastard.
