What is Your Favorite Final Fantasy Game of all Time?

In recent years, the Final Fantasy series on PlayStation systems has been somewhat quiet in terms of new releases, but 2013 changes all that by bringing us the Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. - PSLS

[ltachiUchiha]

FF8 for me. The Lionheart was just too BEASTLY. =]

[hkgamer]

I loved FF8 the most as well. Had to play through the game about 5 times to understand how the combat system works.
1st playthrough, I didn't understand the draw system so just used GF and boost through the whole game.
Probably my 10th(or maybe 20th) playthrough I understood the whole card system. Basically complete the game without leveling a single character.
My last playthrough I did was to only level up seifer and Edea, which made leveling through card obsolete.
My characters were way OP and could easily beat any lvl 100 characters on the island closest to heaven and hell.

Anyway, loved the variety of different play styles you could do to finish game.

I also loved FFXII because of the combat system, and also learnt the glitches to trick system to getting 100% chance to getting item from treasure chests. Must have spent 200+ hours on 1 single playthrough and still have yet to complete the game.

[Ranma1]

FF6
FF7
FF9
FF10 (first one i played)

All those are the 4 best, FF8- I didnt like the battle system

[jsslifelike]

FFIX would jump straight to the top of the list for me. Not only did it show what the PS1 was capable of nearing the end of the generation, but it also brought with it two of the greatest FF characters- Vivi and Steiner. STEINER WAS A BEAST. Plus, equipment-based character class growth instead of that crappy DRAW command in VIII.

So, what are some of anyone's favorite FF CHARACTERS of all time? Here are my top 3:

3. Adelbert Steiner
2. Seifer Almasy
1. Auron

[Larry L]

6
1 (remake)
9
7
10

I like these all pretty equally, even with 1's lack of story....it's just great, and kinda made better by 9, and 9 is made better by 1. It's an interesting circle those two games create.

What is Your Favorite Final Fantasy Game of all Time?"

I believe Final Fantasy XIII was the best FF ever. It had the best story, the best characters and boss battle used every member in your party just to kill it.

FF7 only gets a lot of props because it was the first FF to go 3D. If they made other FF's in 3D they would kill FF7.

[McScroggz]

:D

Tell me another joke!

[Aceman18]

Final Fantasy 6 which was FF3 on the SNES. Followed by FF9 and FF4 on SNES.

these 3 games are my favorite FF games of all time.

i have replayed these games more than any other FF games in the series.

[Crazy Larry]

You're an educated gamer. I hate hearing opinions on this question from gamers who haven't even played the entire series. I COMPLETELY agree; 6, 9, 4 are my top three also. You can't have a proper opinion if you haven't played the entire series.

[Aceman18]

@crazy

yea these 3 games in this franchise just has a special place in my heart. for me they have heart and soul.

i think those that disagree with us probably started playing the franchise with FF7.

[Mottsy]

@ Crazy you don't like hearing opinions from gamers on a game commenting website. Fair enough.

I have not played the entire serious but I did enjoy FF4, X, 6,7

[ftwrthtx]

Never been a fan of the series but I do wonder how the sales figures went throughout the series.

[ltachiUchiha]

They actually use to do very well. The oldd ff games blow the new ones out of the water quality wise & sales wise.

FF 7= 9.8 million. FF 8= 8.15 million (somehow I didn't really like this one that much) FF 9= 5.3 million. FF 10= 6.32 million. FF 10-2= 4 million

They actually sold well despite being on one console at the time & those sales numbers were from 2010 so they could have sold more.

[nypifisel]

Actually FFXIII was like the fastest selling FF ever released!

OnT:
My fav is III and VI.

[Larry L]

If you don't like 8 much, look up a site called "squall's dead" or something like that. It's like this crazy conspiracy theory about the game, that I actually think is right. And while it didn't make me "LIKE" the game any more than I did, it kinda gives you (me) a whole new appreciation for 8 and makes you look at it a different way.

It's a very interesting and fairly quick read and I suggest checking it out to any FF fan that may have been on the fance about what they think about 8. And it may even be a more interesting read for fans who loved 8.

"Squall's Dead" Google it

[moegooner88]

http://vgsales.wikia.com/wi...

FFX is listed in some websites to have sold 8.05 million copies, while others state that it sold around 6.5 million copies.

[MonkeyNinja]

FFIX is still my all-time favorite, but X is a close second.

[SuperLupe]

FFIX is one of the fondest memories of my teenage years. It marked me for life.

Sometimes I tell myself even when I'll be 80 years old sitting on the front porch of my house, I'll still think about the incredible adventure I lived with Vivi, Zidane, Garnet and the whole crew.

Truly magical moments.

[3-4-5]

I love games like that.

[Larry L]

LOVED 9 as well, and it made me love 1 even more than I originally did.

[Snookies12]

VI

[TrendyGamers]

Final Fantasy X.

[Majin-vegeta]

FF9

[knifefight]

So good.

[TacoTaru]

I was in my 50's when I played it for the first time and it was wonderful. It was the best of the series for me although I probably played the ds version of III the most.

[Ilovetheps5]

7 with 10 close behind. Those were two of the most memorable for me and they were just tons of fun in my opinion.

[SnakeCQC]

seriously when is the FINAL fantasy out?

[TheOneWhoIsTornApart]

Never.

[Tales RPG addict]

that is the name of one of the XenoGears songs in game.

[TheOneWhoIsTornApart]

@Tales RPG addict.

Indeed your right. Its a reference to Fei and Id and is the name of the amazing song of the same name. Absolutley love that game.

[Snookies12]

1987 on the Nintendo Entertainment System was the release of Final Fantasy, which was intended to be the first and last game made by Square. Lol, sorry, had to be THAT guy. XD

[Lucreto]

I love them all in their own special way.

I think I like FF X the most followed by FF IX.

[dbjj12088]

6

[MikeyDucati1]

I will have to say the one that was my introduction into the Final Fantasy series. I don't remember exactly what number it was, it was on SNES. I want to say Final Fantasy 2. I remember the SNES box was red with a lil a white monster guy on the front hanging out.

[rextraordinaire]

Hmm that's a mix of 2 (4) and 3 (6).

The red box was final fantasy 2, with Rosa, Cecil and Kain.

The moogle (Over a purple background) was final fantasy 3, with Terra, Locke and Celes.

[MikeyDucati1]

Thanks a plenty for the clarification. Then it would be Final Fantasy 2, because I remember those characters names. And yes it was a moogle, (couldn't think of the name) for FF3. I loved that menu theme music on FF2. A beautiful piece indeed...

[rextraordinaire]

American 3, final fantasy 6.

Nothing ever came close to Celes' suicide scene in terms of dramatic power, not even Aerith's death (Okay, that came close).

6, then 9, then 7.

[TheOneWhoIsTornApart]

Its so hard to choose just one. I am very torn between 7 and 9 and my absolute favorite so I think I will call that a tie.

[josephayal]

FFX

[Eamon]

FINAL FANTASY VII is the greatest jRPG ever created XD

[Neavan]

IX

[listenkids]

Twelve, bye.

[belac09]

6 through 10 are all equally good to me.

[MadLad]

6, 7 and 12 are the only ones I really took to.

[HeavenlySnipes]

12, 10 and 9 in a 3-way tie

[Coolmanrico]

I have to say X, I loved all of the characters and the story.

[rambler]

Americans. Please stop calling Final Fantasy VI by the wrong name (Final Fantasy III). They made a weird decision releasing it as that, no need to continue it.

7 is my favourite, but I could pick 8 on the right day.

[fsfsxii]

Final Fantasy X
My very first JRPG, and that intro is unforgottable, also, the words tidus says, very touching, i'm still waiting for the HD collection to beat it, i didn't know what i'm doing back when it came out

[Dasteru]

IX

[Alexander24]

I know i'm gonna get disagrees but my top 5 are:

1. FFXIII
2. FFVII
3. FFX
4. FFVIII
5. FFXII

Just my opinion.

[PuertoRicanVolta]

I respect that, not many will agree with you, but I respect people who found blissful enjoyment from XIII. In fact, I somewhat envy it!

[rextraordinaire]

XIII wasn't that bad really. Once the world opened up, it kicked into full gear and was a whole lot of fun. The problem is the time it took for the game to reach that point. I know many persons who lost interest before that.

[3-4-5]

There are probably tons of games I played as a kid that, looking back now weren't that good, but I had hours of fun regardless.

If you find a game fun....that is all that matters.

FF13 just doesn't seem like it's for me...I'm glad it exists though.

[PuertoRicanVolta]

Tactics, but if I have to choose from the main series... VI or VIII - tough to say

Tactics was something special though

[Trago1337]

6 and 4, with 9 being close behind.

[Tales RPG addict]

FFIV, FFVI, and FFX most.

[GABRIEL1030]

1. FF VII
2. FF VIII
3. FF X
4. FF XII

[PooEgg]

I am torn between VIII and X, but VIII wins because Triple Triad was so much better than blitzball.

[stragomccloud]

I'm always torn between VI and IX.

[d4sholil1]

Final Fantasy 8 for me!

[BlaqMagiq24]

7, 8 and 10 for me

[Tdmd]

VIII, X and XII where really special for me.

[iamlegend9999]

I've played all of them and i mostly liked final fantasy XIII-2

[FRA85]

1. FF7
2. FF9
3. FF12
4. FF10
5. FF6

FF8 was great right up until disc 2, did'nt like the story after that point, ruined the game for me.

'Nough Said.

[T2]

Ya there were some good rpg before it, I liked chrono triggr, legend of mana ,diablo , ogre battle..none had this level of size, scope, cinematography, detail that ff7 had ... It was insane the first time you see shinra power up that supergun...

[JeepGamer]

FF1

Because I'm old enough that I played it when it was new you whipper snappers.

[T2]

Lol my friend played this so much he had a character who could kill the final boss in one hit

[Welcome2Die]

Its a tie between FFX and FF7.

[Thatlalala]

9

[R_aVe_N]

hmmm I would have to say my top 5 are

1. FFVII
2. FFVIII
3. FFXI
4. FFX
5. FFIV

[maddfoxx]

VI
X
VII
IV
Tactics
XII

Didn't like VIII at all and I still haven't played IX. I'm one of those rare people who loved X-2. Would have put it on the list, but I already broke the top 5 rule.

[urwifeminder]

Never played one why start now.

[silkrevolver]

Because they're great games...

[tiffac008]

The most memorable FF's for me:

1) FFVII
2) FFX
3) FF Tactics
4) FFVI
5) FFIX
6) FFVIII
7) FFXII

[Kos-Mos]

Everyone who`s been through the whole series knows that
Final Fantasy VI is the greatest games ever made.

[Whxian]

ff8, but ff 5-10 are all good anyways, 12 was kind of losing it and then came everyone's favorite

[CEOSteveBallmer]

Final Fantasy XIII... Who am i kidding!!

1. FFVIII 2. FFX 3. FFVII

[DestinyHeroDoomlord]

Definitely 12...

[HonestDragon]

It would be impossible for me to say. The best I can do is say that of the Final Fantasy games I own (VII, VIII, IX, X, and XII), I like and appreciate them all equally. Each and every one of them was a fantastic experience that offered new stories and characters to admire.

[WooHooAlex]

I might get some hate for this, but my favorite is FFXII.
Yes, the story and characters were average, at best. I thought the battle system was amazing and the open world with the side quests and collectibles puts it on top for me. I easily put over 200 hours into that game.

VII, X, VI and Tactics are all amazing too tho.

[Gardenia]

FF VII
FF VIII
FF IX
FF XII

Whoever has FF X or FF XIII in the list does not know what a great Final Fantasy is supposed to be like

[silkrevolver]

Thank you for telling me I'm wrong - It's not like I've beaten all of them or anything.

[Lighter9]

Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest. It was the only one that I played that didn't have those stupid random battles.. Seriously, I would be 2 feet from a boss or sub-boss on, say, FF3.. and enter a random battle and die.

[Tzuno]

FF9 because is beautiful in all aspects. it has atmosphere that can drag you in that world.

[gano]

Crisis core complete please.
hell remake 7 and 8 on vita.

[isyourhouseonfire]

Favorite FF game? Since they're all identical, I guess the correct answer is.. "All of them".

[silkrevolver]

Ah yes - Please tell me how XII is identical to the original, or to any of them, for that matter.

[silkrevolver]

I just love X so much.
The sphere grid, the unique elements of each character, the STORY HOLY FUCK THE STORY.

GAH!

2 - IX
3 - VII
4 - VI
5 - V

[Mr_Luke]

- FF VII my first and favorite FF
- FF Tactics
- FF VI
- the other ones (besides FF XI, XIII, XIII-2 that i didn't like at all. Never tried FF XIV tho...)

[McScroggz]

Basically FFVI and FFVII are tied for me; but while I think FFVI is the best in the franchise I'd have to give the slight edge personally to FFVII because it introduced me to the wonderful world of Final Fantasy.

[Shuyin]

X.

[Shane Kim]

Played them all, (except for XI, X-2 and XIII-2) and they are all great in their own way imo. Except for 12 and 13...I lost interest in them halfway through.

[kupomogli]

Here's my opinion on all the regular RPG versions of the main series and the main series sequels that I've played. I included Mystic Quest because it's a good game.

6, 5, 1, 9, 4, 7, 10-2, MQ, 4AY, 8, 2, 10, 12, 3, 11, 13.

FF4 After Years has a very slow and boring first nine chapters, but that 10th chapter when you can finally use whatever characters you want and the 10+ hours final dungeon is amazing. Worth playing the game for the 10th chapter alone. It'd be above FF4 if it didn't have the other chapters.

[tommygunzII]

Ive played all of them except the newest one 4,5,6,7,8,9,X,XI, and XII

My top 3 would be XII, V, and XI (one of the best MMORPG's of all time, a true masterpiece.
