Game: Final Fantasy

i thought FF7 was of course amazing, FF8 was a so-so for me, the whole past of each character was the same, i i dozed out so forgot wtf the ultima weapon was there for. FF9 is also 1 of my favorite...i dont know why people bash it, zidane was cool, vivi was great. And of course, Chocobos were a better part of the whole story (ultima weapon involved chocobos)

FFVII - I didn't like how everyone could have the same skills because no one was unique except for limit breaks.
FFVIII - It wasn't bad and it wasn't great. Music was great and the graphics were awsome at that time.
FFIX-Hands down my favorite FF game. Spent hours on Tetramaster
FFX-Blitzball was cool
FFX-2 - I don't see why alot of people are downing this game. It's not that bad and I like the job system. Reminds me of tactics.
FFXI-LVLing took forever. I spent more time playing the tetramaster card game.
FFTactics- Addicting...
FFTactics Advance- Also addicting... "Just one more turn and I'll stop...."

I vouch for VI.

Though simple in design, it was an enormous game at the time, and all the environments served to emphasize that. I found the battle effects to be amazing then and now, and the story was superb.

The best part? This game had more characters than VI, VII, VIII, IX, AND X, and still managed to give each of them a chance to shine in the spotlight. What's more, the main villain amused me more than any of the ones in the later games.

This is the one that started it for me, and still my favorite.

nothing quite like a maniacal clown who doesnt give two shits for the balance of anything when it comes to a villain. I mostly loved how he worked his way up from basically Colonel (under General Leo, all under the Emperor) to a fucking deity. I wonder what was going through his mind when he decided to assemble the Statues in that weird form... Also, he was totally vicious, burning, poisoning, backstabbing, stealing, the man did it all.

He truly makes all the other Final Fantasy villains pale in comparison. Sure Sephiroth looked cool and had a dramatic past. Sure Seifer was one of the protagonist's peers. Hell, Kuja and Zidane! You can't get much more of a fucked up relationship between good and bad guys than that! (Seymour Guado never did much for me...) But Kefka beats them all into a pulp with a spiked 2x4, he is a self-made-monster.

Edit: I played 6 (3, whatever way you want to count them, the last one on the SNES) about two years after first playing 7 (and Xenogears, and FFTactics), so it was sorta a change with the lack of graphics. But the gameplay and depth still stand tall. I still missed the large impact 6 had on the rpg community (tho 7's impact, far more marketed and toted, was more widereaching)
