King Jimmeh Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Going by that poll, I think we're talking the core numbered titles going by the Japanese order. In this case, I vote VIII as it was the first console RPG I played, and the one I enjoyed the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MottZilla Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Final Fantasy 4 was the best in my opinion with FF6 close behind. I feel like FF4 just edges out over FF6 or it's just preference. Both are fantastic games and they are the reason, along with the first game, that people think anything good about Final Fantasy. Most of the other games are pretty sub-par or just uninteresting. Granted after 9 I stopped looking at them. I would rank them in an order like 4,6,1,5,7, followed by who cares. 7 edges out the rest that I don't care about because it's the first 3D one and nostalgia.

TheForgetfulBrain Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 In the absence of Tactics, I've gotta go with XII. I loved that game, despite what anyone says. The voice acting was surprisingly good, the visuals spectacular, the towns vibrant and original, the gameplay like a streamlined MMO (which I loved), the story complex and interesting, the characters compelling. I don't know, I loved everything about it. Not being able to finish it is one of my greatest gaming regrets. Unfortunately, I got way too obsessive with trying to level and get 'everything' which is pretty much impossible but for the most hardcore for FF games, so I had more than a hundred hours when my PS3 died and I lost the data. Not going to do that again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouchart Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Just for full disclosure, the only Final Fantasy games I ever played were 1, 4 through 9, and Tactics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheForgetfulBrain Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Just for full disclosure, the only Final Fantasy games I ever played were 1, 4 through 9, and Tactics. Yeah, I should mention, the only ones I've played fully are 7, 8, 10, 12 and tactics. I'm missing the classics. (Didn't have a SNES or PS when I was a kid, and was too young when I had a NES to get into the first Final Fantasy) Buuuut, if I get a 3DS, I guess I can go back and play some of the ones I missed, finally.

deanb Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 XII I definitely liked much more than most seemed to. I loved the singleplayer MMO like aspect to it. Yeah it had no overworld but the world was awesomely big and it wasn't as linear as X n XIII. The Gambit system was pulled off quite well. It looked great for a PS2 game. I think about the only thing I particularly disliked was Vaan. Everything else was pretty nice. Oh the chaining system was fucked up too. That'd be something where patching would be good. As for ones I've played: VII, IX, X, XII fully and I, II(I think...) IV, XIII n beta of XIV. I'd love to give VIII a shot but I hear the re-release don't work on PSP. or any of the ripped CFW ones. And VI. I have it on an emu on my PSP. Just need to sit down with the PSP some point. I've heard good things of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyGriever Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I'm a FFVIII kind of guy myself. I don't know why, but it talks to me much more than VII. I loved the Junction system, unlike most people. And the whole love story hit me hard (Yes, I'm a straight guy who's a sucker for a good love story. sue me).

Toshi Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I think 6 and 7 are my favorites, then I really liked 8. I'm a sucker for the sappy romance between Rinoa and Squall. It pains me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toshi Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Curse you Mr. Leonhart and Ms. Heartily with your touching romance and vow to find each other no matter what and to protect her even if the whole world becomes her enemy.

Akuam4n Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 XII; glad I'm not the only one who enjoyed it. VIII is a close second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slithy toves Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 i'm getting the idea that this is just straight up numbered ff's so it is going in japanese order to avoid confusion. plus US FFII and FFIII were re-released starting on GBA w/ their japanese numbers so i don't think it's that confusing. if tactics were included it would be my favorite by far. i don't think i've ever owned more copies of or put more hours into any game in my life.

Chewblaha Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I picked FF6 because i truly believe its the best one, possibly the best jrpg. That being said, FF8 was and is still my favorite. It's the second best JRPG ever, VI that is. The first being Legend of Legaia (Swooooon) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SixTwoSixFour Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Holy shit, I came here thinking VIII was gonna be the dark horse and it's WINNING? Dang, yo. I would have changed my vote if I'd known- I voted for VIII because it's my favorite, and I wanted it to get a little love, but honestly I think VI was the best. Oh, and IX was weaksauce, that is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouchart Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Oh, and IX was weaksauce, that is all. Of the ones I've played it's probably my least favorite. Actually, that distinction might go to FFT:Advance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrainHurtBoy...2 Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 III. The original NES version. People cite IV as the step from low-quality non-story driven RPGs into the modern age, but I would say that's actually III. In fact, as seen in XII, the aspect of not being the main character but seeing what world-changing events happen around you is seen often in RPGs today, and that definitely, definitely began in the first two-thirds of III. Look at my avatar. FFIII forever. 2nd Place: FFVI 3rd Place: FFXIII Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
