Personally, i like FF6 the most! Fun although 2D!!!
The second is FF8, it's simple and beautiful
Then comes the legendary FF7, i can't stand it's graphic since i'm a late player of this version, but the story line and the game play captured me...




All FF music are SUPERB!!! Thanks 2 Nobuo Uematsu and other composers

I do say FF8>FF7>FF9 simply because i had jus played this 3 only

For me, it was Final Fantasy 8.

There's tat nice theme by faye wong. And i always remembered the scene where squall and rinoa danced, and that interlude in space ...... ooooooooooo sugary stuff lol

when i play ff7 it's graphic is the best in the industry and you cant see it in any other games........although that i prefer ff8 cause it have a not too complicated yet interesting storyline and its gameplay is unique.

no matter what ffvii is the best°_°

FFVII>FFVIII>FFIX

No RPG Beats FFVII Other Than CHRONO CROSS
WooHoo

FFVII and Chrono Cross must be the best games i finshed

err..FFXII?

FF8 is the best for me

FF7 is THE BEST to my opinion..FF8 was missing a few elements

FFIX!!!
wanna say FFVII too but never played it.....
anyway FF IX have a wonderful story and a superb gameplay....

and of the FF music too bad Nobuo Uematsu had left Square-Enix....
FFXII was the last of his composing for FF series......

somehow i like FF9 more than any other FF game that i have played

FF 7 is the BEST.....there will never be another RPG as good as that....

well......y nobody said FFX ler?
for me FFX the best ler !
although i play FFVII in half only , but the storyline not bad !
if really wan choose , i would said FFX>FFVIII>FFVII

i say X, followed closely by VI and VII. IX and X2 comes next. VIII was frankly, very rubbish

FF6 was the best for me
Followed by FF8 then FF7
But I think FF12 will be my favourite soon enough
Already loving the japanese version

I think the question should not be answered by any players that have not played all the Final Fantasy titles because it is suppose to compare all the FF titles, right?

Anyway, the real BEST and LEGENDARY Final Fantasy is SNES Final Fantasy 6 (J) or also known as Final Fantasy 3 (English).

It is the mother of all RPGs because of the excellent storyline, detailed character development, and it redefines what RPG gaming should be like.

for me, i've only completed FF8 and halfway through FFX-2 then i gave up and play something else instead.
didn't try other FFs

well......y nobody said FFX ler?
for me FFX the best ler !
although i play FFVII in half only , but the storyline not bad !
if really wan choose , i would said FFX>FFVIII>FFVII

hmm....i think it is not fair if we just get FFXII "take part"in tis series yet !
becuz FFXII japanese version just release few days ago and many player who cannot understand english cant play it yet !even can understand japanese one also might no yet finish !

Agreed VIII is absolutely RUBBISH. The only redemption is Faye Wong's song. The story sucks, the lead character Squall is a jerk and i wonder why the heroine falls head over heels in love with the SOB. Not to mention, the battle system using the guardian is absolutely annoying and time wasting and if i remember correctly, no way to skip the cutscene everytime u perform a guardian spell.

It just plain SUCKS.

IMO, the best FF was FF7. Others worth mentioning, in no particular orders, FFX, FFX-2, FF9, FF6.

what ff8 was cool what


i like the scene when Seifer Killed Odin
hahahaha LMAO

i prefer FFK wakakaka

i like ff9...

Believe everyone knows about Final Fantasy 7. I demand a port for the PSP. Once I get mine fixed, of course.

wa, i can c that u didn really [B]PLAY the game la, GFs are just for the early game , and using magic 2 equip and increase status is more comfortable than train till 100years then i get full level of my materia in FF7.
err, and u can skip the summon scene of FF7 meh? Remember the Knights of round table!!! BLOODY LONG
DS also!!!

FF 6 the best for me =X

I've played I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, X-2, Tactics, Tactics Advance.

My preferred choice:
1. FFVII definitely. Probably the best FF based on votes from gamers around the world else they wont make a movie based on it.

2. The one with Celes... VI I think.

3. IX, the one with Zidane cause the storyline is good, the color is vibrant.


VIII is cool but X is not and X-2 is a very girly (tukar baju) game. Meantime, Tactics rocks!! They should make more games like FFT and FFTA.

I'd buy PS3 if they remake FF7... Seen the technical demo. Why they didnt take FF8/FF9/FF10 to demo? Cause FF7 is DA BEST!

for me...storywise, it's FF3...most memorable FF7...as for gameplay, Final Fantasy Tactics...most kickass character TG Cid Orlandu from FFT...

hey, FF1 till FFX-2 is the best!!!started from a humble and going to bankrupt company,squaresoft hired sakaguchi and made the final fantasy as their last game but in the end this game saved the company from bankruptcy...from tat day on squaresoft continue to make final fantasy and make it a series!i started ff6 then to ff7 back to ff5, ff1,ff2,ff3,ff4 then ff8, ff9,ffx,ffix then ffx2.i really played them all as i used to live in japan....

the best music is ffx, best game play is ff9, best customization is ff7, best story is ff6, best character design is ff8, new game play style is ffx2

others square products is good as well especially chrono trigger!!!let's not 4get kingdom hearts!!!

unfortunately sakaguchi has left squaresoft and build his own team called "mist walkers'. all his former assistant went to mist walker including Nobuo Uematsu, Kensuke Tanaka and Amano...sad...

Easiest : 8 (No need to level up, ask GF to do the rest)

Best : 8 (simple gaming, nice story, nice CG, nice music)
Sad Character : Aris (nice person died in the middle of the game)
Best villain : Kafka (this clown laughs a lot, happy go luck!)

Hope : Remake FF8

eh? no one has played FF II and FF V?

ff2 is in ff origins n ff5 is the 1st to hav job option(correct me if i'm wrong)

No best FF for me as I haven't played quite a number of FFs (I-VI), and there are ongoing FFs as well. I'll just comment a little..

FFVII: First FF to play, it was really memorable. Pretty neat story, character well developed throughout the story and materia system was good. I guess the only complain I have is your party members 'merging' with you...it just bothers me everytime I see that.

FFVIII: Was even more excited when I got the game (shortly after VII). Was blown away by the awesome CGs and it definitely became my favourite. Draw system was annoying at times, but other elements just made up for it. Awesome music as well, one of the best in FF series.

FFIX: I don't know, maybe it's me, but I didn't pay much attention to this game, just swept through it and left it aside. Many people say it's good cause it IS Final Fantasy, but I couldn't care less. Meh, even the main character wasn't appealing (yes, Zidane).

FFX: This one got my attention as well...heck, I saved and waited for 4 years before I could buy my PS2 to play this! And it didn't disappoint me...loved the battle system (changing party members), awesome blitzball mini-game, nice sphere grid, and also a pretty interesting storyline despite the many loopholes. Oh, the music was great as well.

FFX-2: Was interested to see what happens to Yuna and Tidus, but I wasn't too pleased with the outcome. Don't get me wrong, the dress-spheres was a nice addition, but somehow something was missing. Despite being one of the weaker FFs in my list, FFX-2 had the best PC IMO.

FFXII: Although I'm not done with this game yet, but I see a vast improvement in CG and characters' expression, which is good of course. Can't comment too much as I'm only 5 hours into the game, but I can see that the story is promising.

I still can't believe that people can overlook FFVIII's many MANY flaws. Boring main character with astonishingly inconsistent behaviour, VERY lousy character development (I seem to remember a 25 min basketball court scene which developed the WHOLE danged party, which was practically the only development we got), the absolutely glacial pace, the total lack of presence of a proper villian, love in space, boring world map, infuriating random encounter rate on world map, annoying draw system...etc. Damn I could go on. Conclusion? It would have made a fine 20-25hr game. At normal FF length, its rubbish.

LOL

FFX then FFVII, I wanna start playing FFXII soon..

Cheers..

i will say ff x cos its the onli ff ive completed

I think I'll have to say ff7 cause the extremely nice story line and the coolest bad guy/villain. Then followed by ffx international which took me so long just to beat penance and great battle system too.Followed by ff8 cause the part where we can fight GFS. then lastly ff9.I haven't played 11 and 12 yet though.Waiting for the english release for 12 but 11 no money to play.As for the final fantasies before that i guess i would say ff6 was the best among the 2ds ffs since there's an Atma weapon there.

ffxi - storyline and the experience of an online final fantasy thats truly never ending ( as long as SE keeps on churning out expansion disc)

i played FF4, FF6, FF7, FF8, FF9, FFX, FFX-2...here is my justification.

best FF ever - FFVII

best storyline - FFVI

best ending - FFIX

oh, one more thing. FFX deserve a small credit for being the only one of the many FF series to put a bad ending ~ a very risky move yet a very satisfying ending. why did i say that...aeris died on the very first disc..but tidus died right in the end of story...that is one sad ending

?
ffx got more than one disc? ffx got aeris ? who the fuk is that
tidus died?
hmmm
afaik he didnt die wat
onli auron died

aeris is from FF7, that's all....

love FF6 and FF7 to the max....

ff7 no.1
ff8 no.2

storyline n side quest goes to ff7.
cinematics n FMV story goes to ff x

ff9 is lousy..too cincai
ff8 oso lousy in terms of magic,draw 100 can become very strong oledi - onli takes ~20mins

hardest boss ever ff6 -omega weapon
lousiest boss ever ffx-2 final boss,shuin

revolution/unic gameplay...................FF XII

online gameplay................................FF XI

best mini-game..................................FF X / FF X-2

best video/movieclip/CGI....................FF IX

summon/guardian force system...........FF VIII

Best story/characters..........................FF VII

conclusion:every FF have its own speciality......that why their story/gameplay/system,blablabla....are different.....hoho

dude tidus didnt die....or should i say he shouldnt even be alive

and i agree 'bout FFIX ending that "bring back my dagger to me" line is nice

This post has been edited by tsubasa89: Apr 16 2006, 09:44 PM

i am just not sure how to put it. so, i decided to understand that he 'died'. because in my opinion; tidus came from the dream world...he only exist in the dream world. and when they defeated sin, he will be send back to the dream world (thus he woke up). well, you're right...he is not alive in the first place. nevertheless, the 'bad' ending is very nice..

i think no comment on FFIX...for me, though FFIX adopt a typical fairy tale ending...it's done in a very nice way. especially when somebody thought zidane is finished and saw garnet's dull expression during the coronation. and thanx for supporting, tsubasa.

oh, about the aeris thing that kueks said...i should've said '..aeris from FFVII died in the first disc..'. my mistake.

yo

FF 7 rox all the way lol

played n play again
even have the game now in my pc
story, character, mini game, hidden story
damn interesting n full of mystery easily to solve after the game end.


my only collection for FF 7

ooo
jus install the ff 7 in my pc
tried it

although graphic sux
gameplay like ff x 2 (timed battle)
zzz

cos of the popularity of the game
i decided to play on

lol, same as the situation when i 1st played ff7, carry on for the popularity.
but then, the excitement came...

is it ?
the battle system is driving me crazy
(guess still hav da darkmemory of losing so many times in ff x 2 )

still prefer non-timed based battle
eg like grandia 3

haha, that's Final Fantasy ferya!

but turn based is good, lets you plan your attacks more accordingly.... especially when you need rikku to go and pilfer hp/items/gil

rikku ??
ff 7 = rikku
ff x / ffx 2 = riku ?

so confusing =.=

ff x don hav time based

lol, no matter, they are both SEXY & GORGEOUS,lol

the rikku that wears hotpants

i tot one of the riku s is male ???

kh oso got rikku

This post has been edited by kueks: Apr 18 2006, 11:00 PM

i know
i finis the game already

yuna so cute hehe
mini yuna

storyline = ff7 da best....

is it ?
hmmm
i start with cloud
is he the main character ?

oops...don spoil for me
hehe
looking forward to see pretty tifa

FF7 has one of the more original stories

ff9 fails miserably

ffx-2 wins only because of the secret ending which you get after completing 100% of the story, otehr than that it fails

believe me, im a hardcore fan of ff series but still, i heard they say the storyline of ff series in nintendo long time ago is the best.... cannot remember what series... but the graphic is suck at that times hehehe... now looking forward to new ff series

new ff series ?
ff 12 ???
after that need to buy ps3 already

woot got secret ending ??
*runs to play ff x 2*

This post has been edited by kueks: Apr 18 2006, 11:21 PM

well, if u r a hardcore fan, u must buy ps3 heheheh..

some said the creators of ff already sign contract with mitrosoft xbox ?

huhu, i don hav that kind of budget...
i simply borrow from a friend and finished ff10, guess i can do that with ps3,lol

mm, the legendary 1 is ff6 back in the GOOD OLD NINTENDO DAYS~

i am not sure, but certainly Hinorobu Sakaguchi has went off to set up his own company. The last i heard, he is developing RPG for Xbox360.

if i am not mistaken, he's in charge for stories in Final Fantasy Series (FFI to FFVIII). as for FFIX, i think he's not officially in charge but maybe he's involve in monitoring only. FFX onwards does involve him anymore..too bad..

i dont know about the future of final fantasy in next gen console though one thing is pretty sure; much killer graphics and FMVs. but still, most of old timer gamers weights graphics far less than new generation of gamers. in simpler words, final fantasy is actually losing its essence quite fast. for me, what keeps it to be on the top is innovative and revised battle system, graphics. storyline is basically arent that good anymore.

for example, in FFIX. the twist of the story; (if there is any) zidane is actually one of superior genome that should be merging gaia with terra. if you remember this, it's just like watching a movie with a typical inner conflict of the hero.

but in FF6 for example, the conflict between characters and the their inner conflicts leads to many twists of the game. and because of the well developed characters, the whole twists leaves you with the cliffhangers..naturally made the story itself interesting. ok, maybe no one will be playing FF6 anymore nowadays, but for those who remember the experience, it's one precious experience.

sorry for quite a lengthy post, i just want to share a bit of my opinion.

This post has been edited by tiki_tiku: Apr 19 2006, 01:04 PM

well....one things for sure....
I'm gonna miss Nobuo Uematsu's musics

uematsu signing off too? AFAIK he's still in charge of FFXII music. of what i read, they were trying to find the most suitable music for FFXII, which directly cause delay to the game..

and i just dont believe that FFXII music is kinda dull..even for the battle theme which usually in high spirited tone..

uematsu only does a few music for FFXII less than 5 music of him is in FFXII,others are composed by different composer...

FF7 is da bomb... then FF8, then FF10, then FF9...

ff7 really that nice ?

the graphics is preventing me from continuing this game
no voice.....crappy cutscenes (i mean graphic)

hehe
how to fully enjoy the storyline without voice

its really sad that FFIX doesn't get much attention from people here,it has nice and and romantic storyline,ATB battle system,great music composed by Nobuo Uematsu(sigh miss alot of it....the two chocobo therm,Loss of Me,Feel My Blade,and etc),and the graphic was great for a game that already 6 years old...
the main reason i think it is not as popular is that..."hey,where's the cool main character like Cloud go?"

This post has been edited by tsubasa89: Apr 20 2006, 08:08 PM

ff 9 u mean?

wat platform ??
ps2 ??

when choosing ff game
i don look at cool male character
i look for pretty female char

i agree to you, FFIX is not as popular among FF fans themselves but their songs are most memorable as if they were matching each special scene with each theme. i noticed that the basic notes are from memory of life but each of them played at different tempo, instrument etc.

i once heard that this game was rumored to be closing of 'old' final fantasy...before giving birth to 'new gen' final fantasy. square take many elements of older final fantasy and put it into FFIX, battle with 4 charachters, allocation of jobs class, even right to battle theme. one more nostalgic thing is...the art director is done by the..hm, i forgot his name..but certainly not tetsuya nomura..

furthermore, what made FFVII so popular is they are making milastone for other RPGS with stunning graphics, summons, FMVs and all. for older fans who played from NES editiion of FF, the breakthrough is really nice in addition of good characters and story development. FFIX in the other hands, bring almost nothing new to the fans who are hungry for greater graphic quality etc. thus decide it to be sux.

one quick conclusion...though how many say it sux, i still think FFIX is one hidden masterpiece...maybe it's not that great to replace FFVII popularity but it's nostalgic for an old timer like me (and everybody who think it's great). it's not that too late to play it (it's PS game) but surely, it's like rewinding the history; playing SNES games while many other enjoying newer FFVII on the playstation. dont look at the shell, but what's inside.

..or maybe it's just me

This post has been edited by tiki_tiku: Apr 20 2006, 11:46 PM

firstly.. FF8 bcoz.. it simply of the customizeable stats n complexity..
second.. FF9 bcoz.. its a ff..
third.. FFX.. this ff doesnt feels rite..

FF7 is not on my list because.. i never played it.. i tried to.. but i got stucked @ the very begining.. then i stopped playing..

does kingdom hearts count?.. hehehee

y ff x doesnt feel like ff?
actually wat is the concept for ff ???

the concept of FF is what you see inside FF. the menu bar, commands, game system and if not too much to say, even the storyline have a general similarity.

is it ?
i tot every ff has different storyline

well there is one BIG similarity with all FF stories.....
and that is 'to save the world' and 'romance'

This post has been edited by tsubasa89: Apr 21 2006, 04:13 PM

none of the less, almost every ff hav a maniac who's going to destroy the world~

couldn't complain about maniacs and all. the most important thing is all FF fanboi love it.

anyway, arent there anybody who have played FFXII yet. i am wondering how good is it...though i read is quite a frenzy in japan..

i'm playing it right now....only half way though......
it was nice but the music is not that nice without Uematsu....T_T...

LOL!

so, i assumed that you just 'belasah' through the japanese text?
