What is the Best Final Fantasy Game?

[Odin]

I think FF6, amazing plot, great character development, fantastic music, and beautiful graphics for its time. It was the last FF game for the SNES and the last GOOD medieval FF game (FF9 was horrible, I hate these modern-time Final Fantasies. ).

FF6 followed closely by FF7. 6 had a great story.

FF8. Great cut scene's.

Seifer was pretty cool too.

[Felch]

Final Fantasy 3, just the innovations made back on the NES were incredible.

FFX - it broke every rule, and made a great game as a result. AMAZING.

[CapitanGarlic]

Ah, yes, FFX: walk forward. Kill. Repeat. ONO! Tidas isnt real!!!1!1!

I like the old sprite ones. They look better, IMO. Best overall would have to be 6.

seven beats them all

I liked tactics alot since all role playing games were becoming the same by this time (I'd been playing them all from the earliest zelda, BoF and FF) just changing the name of the magical energy force that guides the world and some different characters. After that its probably FF7 since i can't remember if I've played 6 ... I'm sure i have though since it got released on an anthology cd for the PS1 right ?

I only played 2, 3 and 7, but I think I liked 3's no lead character set-up the best.

FF6, followed by FF4, followed, by FF5, followed by FF7. FF7 was the last I played -- I meant to get FF8, but it left the cheap shelves before I had a chance, and I haven't found it in the bargain bin yet.

FF7 was lame, FF8 was even lamer.

[War4ever]

yeah, i thoguht the series hit a wall in the mid point.....heck i still love the origional....

innovation that works makes the game key for me....if it doens't work ala civ 3 then its a downer....

if they just buff graphics without fixing problems then its lame too...and for games like this....the story is huge

FF4, as I cannot escape nostalgia. 6 and 7 are actually superior from a realistic point of view. 8 and 9 (haven't tried 10 yet) are OK, but don't really mean much to me.

1/2 just came out as remakes, btw. And FFMQ wasn't that bad, at least the music was decent...it just wasn't a Final Fantasy game in any way, shape or form.

EDIT: Same with Tactics, which was a Tactics Ogre ripoff......but a great one at that.

Square has to get back to a medeival plot, not this futuristic crap. FF9 got back to the middle ages but it was too childish for me. In FF6 I allways laugh when Locke gets ticked off and says, "I'M NOT A THIEF, I'M A TREASURE HUNTER"! Yeah, right.

You know, you may come from one of my favorite states, but I don't think you know what you're talking about.
