Anyway I'm just curious to know what is everyones favourite Final Fantasy game, be it a spin-off (tatics) or the 'proper' thang. Just list your fav/worst FF games and the reason behind your decisions.
My favs (in no particular order)
FF7 - This imo is the finest one in the series. Great story with brilliant twists, loads of mini games - much better than FFX
FFV - Loved the class system!
'Good' FF games
FF10 - No doubt a lot of you all probably love this.......but I feel it really wasn't the 'leap' to an even better FF. It was more evolutionary than revolutionary......and now world map. Okay it isn't the end of the world, but I love to be able to trudge around a proper world map. Interesting storyline, and blitzball is quite a cool minigame.
FFIX - A lot of people thought that FF9 was the worst, but I quite enjoyed it because it reminded me of the old FF games which were mostly set in a sort of fantasy medieval age. It wasn't however, the leap I was expecting from 7 & 8.
Worst FF games
I think if I was pushed to say which one was the worst, I'd have to say Mystic Quest. Nice music, but pretty crappy gameplay! :P

Worst FFII
Ugh.
Favourite spin off would be FF Tactics. If only due to the fact it was a strategy RPG, which are my favourite kind. It's plot was a bit heavy but once you got to grasps with it it was a very good story with lots of betrayal. The return of the job classes for me was a big plus the only thing i didn't like was that the missions you got from the pub were automatically done. It would have been good if you had battles to decide whether you got the mission completed or not.
Worst FF game for me would have to be 8. Plot was weak, characters were weak and Battle system was weak as well and had me wanting my materia back. The only FF apart from 1, which i'm in the process of doing, that i haven't completed due to the fact i found it dull and boring. The only good thing about it was the card game and Quistis.
I didn't really enjoy Final Fantasy X.

Is that meant to be ironic sarcasm?

*evil look* :D
I loved the eighth one for some reason. Bought VII and VIII on the same day, played VII for a good few hours. Was mucho pleased.
Played VIII for 180 hours, loved every second :D
Squall rocked in a kinda 'Look, she is DROOLING, go for it' 'No' sort of way. And the Eden GF sequence kicked @ss, hell, I didn't even know *what* was happening

Agreed
