14 Chapters Later Which Final Fantasy did you prefer?

[Raxxon]

1. IX 2. X and 3. XII (though I disliked the second half of the game)

I loved IX's world and characters, it went back to the roots of FF. XII had fun gameplay since I was hooked on XI for a long time and a fantastic world though I didn't really like the characters that much, nor the story after about 50% of the game. It was still a really fun game to play with lots of sidequests - something I think XIII lacked. Didn't have much room to explore in that game, something which I love to do. Like going around the world and finding towns and caves or finding secret places in towns. I felt the music in XIII was a bit too techno-pop-y for my tastes, I enjoyed the older stuff from 1-IX (mostly IX). Not really bashing it of course, it's not a terrible game but I prefer being able to explore a lot. Though Hope was a really annoying character.

FFT, FFV, FFIV and FFIX were memorable for me.

When I saw FFT at a Blockbuster way back I thought, "Whoa, FF has a strategy game?". It was right there I fell in love with the job system. Playing FFV later brought the same effect, who wouldn't love mixing and matching jobs to your heart's content for a game style?

FFIV had a great story. I played FFVI, it was ok, but it didn't strike me as the game I heard was so hyped up for in it's days.

FFIX had the story, world, and gameplay. The gear-ability system allowed for a lot of mix and matching for tailoring your characters. The only thing I didn't like was that stupid red light/green light mini game that showed up immediately after a boss with no save in between! (I had a close call on it, was it really a game over if that clock ran out?)

Final Fantasy IX all the way!

Err... what exactly do you mean? I finished the game recently and can't remember that kind of minigame X_x

[Nephera]

the only thing that bothered me about 12 was the stupid amount of rare drop farming.

Enter the same room 60000000 times to get a chance for a chest that drops excalibur. not fun OR hard,just wastes time.

After you fight Ark (in ship form), and you're back in Kuja's palace with the team members you didn't take. And Cid has to break out your other team from their cells before the floor opens up on them into a lava pit (or something) below.

6, 7, 8, 11, 12, Tactics = my favorites.

[ARoy]

Tactics hands down. Though the system has been torn apart by fans nowadays, it is one of the most memorable games I've ever played. Sequels not so much.

Chronicles was a good game with lots of unused potential and a lackluster story; gameplay seemed to me like a herald to the triumphant return of the seiken densetsu series. It was kind of like an MMO but without internet access and thus no way to realistically party up. Unfortunately i've only gotten to play the first one, so I've no idea whether or not the sequels actually harnessed that potential or got worse.

I'd like to see a new, High-Def FFT made on a console or PC rather than a handheld; it'd be nice to make that into an MMO as well because you give new meaning to coordination when you're playing a strategy game and you can't control every unit on your team.

FFXII IZJS: Turbo button and chests respawn only one room away = win ^^

[Evangela]

FFX is the best and by far from 7 (just my opinion)

I also love 12 more than 7
