I've been real cliché and voted for FFVII. I still think it's the best FF game by far! With Advent Children and Crisis Core it truly is epic! It's amazing to go on a journey through time and discover all that's happened.

But alone, FF7 is still truly wonderful! The storyline is so orginal with ShinRa's plot of world domination; the whole Jenova, Hojo, Sephiroth story and the many sub-plots you gain for all the characters (mostly playable ones). I find Cloud's story particulary interesting. Vincent's story too is very tragic, yet beautiful.

Also, I totally fell in love with so many of the characters in FF7 - Cloud, Vincent, Aeris and even swearing Cid has a place in my heart. Oooh and Reno is HAWT *cough* Plus Sephiroth is the most evil villian in any game I've ever played. He truly freaked me out the first time I played FF7!

Oh by the way ,first post!

It has to be X for me. I've played a few other FF games, but I always go back to ten. To make it harder, I send the party around different areas of the Sphere Grid, eg, make Yuna a warrior or Auron a white mage. It takes the characters longer to develop this way as their stats at the start are already set for where they are supposed to go on the grid, so Yuna would start of with a higher magic and lower attack compared to Auron!

I'd say...

FFVI>FFT>FFX>FFIX>CC:FFVII>FFIII> FFIV> FFVIII>FFVII>FFI>FFV>FFII>FFXII> Crystal Chronicles.

They're all good, though.

My top 3 are FFVII > FFX > FFVIII

I think I am biased towards VII, because it was the first one I played, but even so, I think it would still be my favourite. The music is massively memorable, the story is fascinating, and deep. I love pretty much all the characters.

I like how the magic system (ie Materia, Junction etc) for FFVII links in with the story. The is a lot more explaination to it than there is in other games. Like in the Kalm flashback where Sephiroth explains to Cloud how materia orbs actually form.

To me, it is just the most complete game.

Final Fantasy VII set the standard for me. Like it was for a lot of people, it was my first FF and my first RPG. The story, though it left questions here and there, was so deep and engrossing. I got attached to all of the characters immediately. Honestly, there wasn't one character on my team that annoyed me. The gameplay was great (I still miss the Materia system). It was complete.

I think the only RPGs that can really stand up with FF7 are FF6, FF10 and Suikoden III.

Final Fantasy VII
I don't care if anyone says the characters look like lego people!
The story plot was the best out of all Final Fantasies there are.
Sephiroth is the greatest villain there is.
And the materia system? It was just plain awsome!
And if any of you think it sucks. You should go and *beep* yourself...
That was a bit harsh...NO OFFENSE INTENDED! XD

Mine would be Final Fantasy 12. Everything from the battle system to the storyline i found great about it. Final Fantasy VII was awesome as well.

I chose final fantasy X, since that was the first final fantasy I got into because was old enough to understand it, and it stuck. I guess... That was the only reason.

Final Fantasy X: Characters were great, they all had personality to follow that were realistic which also developed throughout the game. The music wasn't bad, there were here and there; especially the ff x theme song. The gameplay was not too bad: it was original nonetheless. The graphics... Perfect to ogle at.

The rest are just as good as now that I have replayed it. All have their strengths and weaknesses. I tend to like one of the ff, then I change again after having played another recently.

I have no opinion for earlier ff because I haven't had the chance to play them yet...

FF7 all the way, it has the by far the best storyline, like when sephiroth kills aries it makes me mad and makes me want to get revenge, almost seems like im actualy cloud when playing the game. Also the music is the best out of all of them.
But.... I find FF12 very addictive when training up, so I like that as well!
