Which is Your Favorite Game In The Final Fantasy Series?

[springning]

Hi guys, in the Final Fantasy series, which was your favorite game and why? For me, I especially loved the fourth game, it has a great story.

[Heizei_koukousei]

The first Final Fantasy game I played was Crystal Chronicles and to this day its still my favorite.The soundtrack for that game is legendary

Its one of the hidden gems of the series

[Ceris]

My favorites are 4 and 10. Don't really have a reason for liking them, mainly just liked the plot path and the characters.

I hear 6 and 9 are very liked, I really want to play them one day.

[BookwormOtaku]

Final Fantasy 9 for me, though I do have a big soft spot for Tactics

[Nimbus]

My favourites would have to be four and ten.

I found both of these games to have great characters and excellent stories. whilst most of the FF games have these, four and ten just stood out more for me.

VI and IX... VI was a true masterpiece, showing the limits of what could be done with the SNES, similar to Chrono Trigger.  IX was just fun, though not a masterpiece.

 

VII has aged horribly, and upon replaying it I didn't really enjoy it at all...  VIII... better I don't say anything about that disaster.  X is good and also the last good game in the series... but it wasn't a masterpiece.  The less said the better about XI and XIV, XII lacked anything resembling a decent narrative, XIII... well, everyone knows what is wrong with XIII and every last one of its linked games by now. 

 

Story-wise, FFT is still the most solid, but its gameplay (mostly the excessively grindy nature of it, which was stolen straight out of Tactics Ogre) stops it short of being a kamige.

Final Fantasy VI:

 

 

 

Enough said. That battle theme is still the most glorious battle theme to this day; nothing beats it.

[Clephas]

lol, Ren agreed with me.  Yeah, VI is FF's sole kamige, sadly.  It did everything right and its plot and characters still resonate well today.  I mean... Kefka as the antagonist and the Celes/Locke opera scene.

 

Edit:  Square had precisely three kamige: FFVI, Chrono Trigger, and Xenogears (the story is godly... it really is too bad about the way they shortened things for the second disc).

[Roach]

I agree with Clephas and Ren. VI was definitely a masterpiece.

 

Dancing Mad is still one of my favorite soundtracks to this day.

[Hakamichi_Sajaki]

I'd say personally it's IV, VI and X Hd Remaster.

[Kosakyun]

Dissidia

[Yatsufusa]

VII, VIII, and X are my personal favorites of the Final Fantasy series.

[SketchingPegasus]

It'd have to be Final Fantas 13-2, I've played most of the FF games but none of them seem as good as 13-2. Well why it's my favorite?

 

1: Characters- easy to relate with, even the villian has his issues I can relate with the villian as well.

 

2: The graphics- Graphics aren't everything...but damn these vibrant enviroments are the shit O w O

 

3: Moogle- Whut?

 

4: LVL system- Best one I've seen so far, don't gotta grind so much like in most FF games.

 

5: Music- Best soundtrack I've heard for FF, 10 and 7 have good soundtracks as well...but I've never liked so many songs in one game such as this.

 

and finally

 

6: Story- A story about time travel, only played one game having to do with Time travel and that was Shadow of destiny...Final fantasy has done a good job making a meaningful story about time travel At first I was skeptical but I enjoyed it.

[Okami]

Final Fantasy III out of the ones I played, True I haven't really played anything pass that one. I guess now that XIII is out for PC and the next two coming up soon it might be a right time to give a newer games in a series another chance.

[solidbatman]

X and then VI. X simply holds a special spot for me as one of my early JRPGs and I simply loved the ending (leave me alone X-2). VI is all around fantastic, and though I haven't beat it, I adored the time I spent playing it. Thinking about it makes me want to pick it back up actually. 

[Eclipsed]

I've only played VII and VIII, back when I was a wee lad. I thought they were fun.

VII seems to have become the mascot of the series nowadays with it having a plethora of fans claiming it as the best game in the universe and an equal amount of anti-fans bashing its overhyped-ness xD

VIII was the hardest game for me to play at first simply because I didn't know how to use the Junction system!!! I literally went at the first first few bosses using only Attack and a shitload of potion spamming.

It'd have to be Final Fantas 13-2, I've played most of the FF games but none of them seem as good as 13-2. Well why it's my favorite?

Wow, I am delighted to hear so many folks mentioning FF IV ! Even VI is commonly and deservingly loved, but IV is a pleasant surprise. For me, it would be VI followed by IV. Nostalgia admittedly has a lot to do with it, I think. If we replayed VI today, would we have a lot of things to pick out? Possibly. It is still probably better than a lot of the titles produced today, though. In terms of story, I mean. The visuals have aged quite okay, too. I find good 2D is timeless .

[Cyrillej1]

I can easily say Final Fantasy 9 is my favorite among the FF series.  I just love the setting, atmosphere, music, and story.

 

I also liked Final Fantasy 4-7-8-10 games too though. But 9 stands on top as my favorite.

[fun2novel]

FF7 is the one I will choose. While there are some others that are really great, especially FF6, in my opinion 7 was where the series climbed to the peak. The only place it went after that is down, lol. It is still fun to play over 10 years later, with fun gameplay and the darkest story in the series so it still holds strong. The localization has its problems but it's not going to keep you from having fun.

 

Choosing which is the worst is actually harder, there are so many of them, lol.

[phersu]

Oof, tough. Probably 7.

[springning]

My favourites would have to be four and ten.

I found both of these games to have great characters and excellent stories. whilst most of the FF games have these, four and ten just stood out more for me.

 

Yeah, most of people like play ten, but I haven't played it, I just played 4 and loved it.

[nohman]

It's FFX for me, but I'm not really that huge of a Final Fantasy fan. I really like the characters though and the soundtrack to 10 is amazing.

[Carronade]

Tactics. But I love VI, I'd say that of the numbered ones, it's the best, and XII. Awesome localization, and I'm a Yasumi Matsuno fanboy, anyway.

 

 

The visuals have aged quite okay, too. I find good 2D is timeless .

[kratoscar2008]

FFV i just love the cast a lot and to me it has the most campy atmosphere not to mention the gameplay and Customization is top notch.

 

FF VIII would be second.
