FFVII. Great cast of characters, great story...I just really loved everything about it. The only imperfect thing about it for me was the lack of Triple Triad :D I still think the music is miles better than any of the following titles. IV comes second, X third, and VIII fourth. I still play it to this day.
i will go with the 6 as the best, followed by the tactics and the 12 (only sad we didn't get out hand on the international version in france)
So much love for IX! That was my first Final Fantasy. My brother had just got a PS2 (we went from the SNES to the N64, never had a PS) and I was looking for something to play on it. I had a vague memory of a Final Fantasy game my cousins had on the SNES and my best friend really liked VII, but other than that I had no idea what was going on with the series. The store had VIII and IX and I agonized over which one to get, finally settling for IX, simply because it was newer. I chose correctly. To this day it remains one of my all-time favorite games. I was a Taru BLM in FFXI because that was the closest to Vivi.
Second place would be a tossup between VI and XI. I love VI for obvious reasons, and I had a tremendous time in Vana'diel. There was plenty that ruffled my feathers in XI, but I liked the stories and having good friends to share them with made a day doing Promy runs worth it. I still remember my first visit to Lufaise Meadows - beautiful music there.
2004 release of final fantasy 11 rise of the zilart a lot challenging :)
I came into the game rather late and started with FFX. Auron was my favorite character by far. But I also liked the menagerie of characters in FFXII--the design of the games were simply stunning. I have snagged copy of a stradegy guide that had an attached art book and I find myself combing through the two for inspiration to this day. I have no idea where people get these unique ideas for costumes. Its such a innovative conglomeration of historical/sci-fi gear.
The FF series as a whole has the most visual stunning collection games I've ever played.
FFXI was my first MMO, and my introduction to online gaming in general. It holds a special place in gamer nostalgia for me too. It was a dysfunctional relationship, for sure, but there was plenty of memories that still stick fondly with me.
FF12. Loved the free roam & free fighting system.
Definitely tactics, loved the story, the characters, the design, no numbered title can even compare to that. XII was really promising up untill the very end, you can clearely feel that something went wrong with the development team and it's a shame cause it could have been a great masterpiece
have not beaten them all yet, but VI and VII are among the favorites.
