Favorite Final Fantasies

[Sojiro]

My favorites in order:

FFVI: There was just so much to do in this game, a great battle system, and I loved the characters. The music is still some of my fave tracks of any FF game, and the central villain is just so despicably evil you just have to love him. Everything in this game just feels right. Easily my choice for best game of the FF series.

FFIX: A more light hearted FF game than the previous 2, but I really like the ability system and was nice to go back to traditional assigned classes for characters after the previous 2 games. I also absolutely love Vivi in this game, and could really feel for him in the first and second discs.

FFTactics: It still surprises to this day how many friends I have that did not like this game just because it was a SRPG as opposed to the traditional FF RPG. The story is fantastic, loved the job system, and it had some of the best music not done by Nobuo that I can think of from any FF game. Its a shame the next 2 games that bear the FFtactics name are no where as serious as this one (although still fun to play) =(.

FFXII: One of those games you either hated or loved based on the battle system alone. I personally really liked the battle system and thought the characters (vaan excluded) are really well done. Lots of side hunts to go on, (we NEED these in XIV!) story for me was pretty good, and the voice acting I felt was mostly done very well, excluding Fran which was abysmal lol.

FFVII: While I feel it is a bit overhyped (it personally hasn't aged well imo) I still feel its a great game that brings back very fond memories. Great cast of characters, loved the materia system, and the slew of mini games that you could do. The introduction of really awesome CG clips (for its time) also really pushed the epicness of the game.
