Name Your Favorite Final Fantasy & Why (Aside From ARR)

[Aurisakura]

For me , FF9 was the best . I play for 1 -2 week to lvl up to 99 fighting Green Dragon above the cave.( which we all encounter at dungeon raid lvl 32). I always wish Kuja is our companion but no.. Vivi is cute !Freya is the reason I became DRG in FF14. Style is tremendous cool!!

i'm probably gonna be trolled and or flamed for this one but...

final fantasy mystic quest(snes) is my favorite final fantasy game

why?

few reason
first, the music in it was, and STILL is, the best music I've ever heard in any final fantasy game
second it was probably my first final fantasy game (the first game I actually played with 'final fantasy in the title was final fantasy adventure, but that don't count), so its got the nostalgia factor working for it
third I enjoyed it immensely
fourth because its my favorite, and nobody can tell me what I can and can't like! :P

Aside from XI because I played that game more than I'd care to admit, FFVI.

Best villain, best cast of characters and nostalgia. VIII is a close second.

[Atiqa]

For me it is IV. First RPG that just felt epic to me. Plus Zeromus was the first final boss to just mop the floor with me over and over.

After that would V. Then VI though I feel while a good game is highly overrated.

Yeah. I agree with 4 and 5. Seriously underrated entries in the series. I never cared for 6, though. 7's my personal favorite.

[Yamimarik]

It's a hard decision...

I can't solely just pick one...

Final Fantasy XI - My top favorite, Best story line out of all the FF's I've played. Even w/o the online aspect I would have gladly still played XI for the story line, it was just too good not to have done.

Final Fantasy IX - My 2nd top favorite, The story line is epic, but I sort of have a trend for Summoner oriented Story lines. I'm just so obsessed with Summoners. The characters were amazing, and my favorite villain of all time! Kuja! <3 Seriously best Villain ever! lol (obviously my opinion, I know it's either Sephiroth or Kefka for the rest of the world.) Eiko and Garnet are my Summoner girls! <3

Final Fantasy X - The story! Yuna! The Aeons! It was so wonderful! I must admit this one has such a special place in my heart. Every single part of this game I loved so much! I don't think I ever cried as hard at a video games story as I did when I played X.

Final Fantasy X-2 - This was my first Final Fantasy game ever! (activates shield) I don't feel like telling the entire story for a 4th time lol... just say I had a strict over protective child hood and wasn't really allowed into these kinds of games until I hit my teen years. I loved this one so much, even when at first I had NO clue WTF was going on... it was such a new world for me, story telling as you become part of a story, at it's best! I LOVED THE JOB SYSTEM! It was so much fun! Truly a treasure in my gaming collection.

Final Fantasy IV - Not for the reasons most have, but Rydia <3! It deals so much with yet another Summoner story, I loved it so much! Don't get me wrong I had my share of tears and laughters with Cecil and Kain, but still.... it's all about the Summons and Summoners for me.

IV for me. I had the original FF NES cart, but it wasn't until IV (II NA) that I realized how epic games could really be. Blew my mind. I still play my old SNES cart once a year. Followed by that is VI, then - surprisingly - XII. I really liked that one for some reason, it just felt big. I'm one of the few that hated X. Maybe I need to replay it when the HD version comes out.

i'm probably gonna be trolled and or flamed for this one but final fantasy mystic quest is my favorite final fantasy game. the music in it wasthe best music I've ever heard in any final fantasy game

|Throws up the Mighty Mighty Troll Shield™|

Mystic Quest was loads of fun! The music was absolutely outstanding.

For those of you who don't know what he's talking about, you're absolutely missing out. Just listen to these blow-away-bad@ss tracks from Final Fantasy Mystic Quest.

Final Boss

Boss Music

Standard Battle

You have to understand that at the time this came out... musically, there had never been anything like it... simulated rock guitar music in a freaking fantasy RPG? Are you kidding me?

Simply out of hand, folks.
