Which is the best Final Fantasy game?

Which one is the best ''Final Fantasy'' game in your opinion ?

And why?

[EolSunder]

I like FF7 because it was a huge step up from other games, there wasn't anything like it at the time, music, story, gameplay, secrets, etc. FF1-6? huh? don't even remember those lol. 7 was the first good one. 8 was ok, 9 was ok, 10 was good, a step up in the graphics department.

12 i really liked the change in combat style, though once you knew what to do, combat was laughable with buffed up characters.

Never did any of the online stuff, who the heck wants to play with annoying players. Keep solo games so we don't have to deal with idiots.

OP. Why did you put Final Fantasy in quotes? The franchise got named that because the first Final Fantasy was square's hail Mary pass. They were pretty sure if that game didn't work out, the company was done. They expected it to be their final game. And they just kept naming them that since it's a franchise.

Really? Thats interesting, thanks for sharing.

Another thing that blew my mind was when i heard FFX and FF7 are related.

Being named Final Fantasy because they expected the company to go under is a widely-repeated myth.

Hmm, well, it still sounded awesome though.

Going by the Dissidia series story modes, they're all connected. Though the lore they pull out of their rears to link them makes my head hurt even more than the Final Fantasy 7+spinoffs timeline

Final fantasy x because I like Yuna

Yuna has got to be one of the most charismatic and endearing characters in all the Final Fantasy universes.

Yup, I second this. It is a well repeated myth that has absolutely no bearing in truth.

I can't recall if anyone ever got to the bottom of where this myth came from, but it is absolutely untrue.

I seem to recall either Chris Kohler explaining it in one of his fantastic books on gaming history or perhaps it was in one of my bibles - The Ultimate History of Video games (by Steven Kent).

2, 3, 4, 6, 7 & 12 are all great. Would really like to try 9, 10 & 15.
8, on the other hand, is horribly overrated.

You can pick any ff game and there is always someone saying its overrated, lol. Never heard FF8 being praised a lot by anyone though. Its certainly the one FF game to divide opinions.

1st is by a large margin 8. second is 7, third is 10, fourth is 15 and fifth comes 9. I think those are all i played.

Yeah, I never liked it.

It always seemed a bit, well "young", for me. All too teeny angst type of thing.

Nothing in that gelled with me at all, and the link system or whatever it was called just didn't work either. TO me it is very much like 13 - the bastard child.

Though I can understand why some people like it, because it's quite a departure.

Final Fantasy X Remaster is $30 from the launch date. I bought it for 50% discount last week..

I also wanted to buy FF XII Zodiac Age, But its price is $50. And never goes below 50% discount. Not a fair price for a 14 years old remastered game in my opinion.

Both are decade old games. They could have just set the same price for both remastered games. But no, just because FF XII has little better graphics and originally released few years later (in 2006), so they decided to charge more. I hate greedy people who don't waste a slightest chance to collect more money.

7

I like only Final fantasy 7. It is more fast paced and its story is more practical and relatable.
