I can't believe I'm the first to vote for FFV. Okay, yeah I can. It's one of the funniest, that just may be the Advance version.

I think that it excels in gameplay and lacks in storyline. The gameplay system was handled excellently, but players went from controlling diverse parties with different personalities to controlling customizable parties with the same personalities. The number of playable characters went down from over ten to only five.
IX. In terms of the characters, I felt it was relatively balanced unlike VIII, for instance. I feel that the characters were all developed to at least a moderate extent throughout the story even if some were sadly neglected in the latter half of the game (e.g. Freya). The music is utterly divine, I love the use of harpsichords, organs and the like which isn't seen too often in computer games. The world was vibrant, interesting and fun to explore. While the card game was a let down, the chocobo mini-game and sidequest was the best in any Final Fantasy game. The story was interesting and flowed pretty fluently; it wasn't stop-start. Kuja is the only villain from the Sony era that I rate that highly.
In short, IX is brilliant.
Usually i have answered IX immediately but now for some reason i thought about X too.
But still i chose IX, it's a legend for me. I love everything about it, except the fact that after playing it through many times the story has become a little bit too simple since you basically remember everything that in the first times blew your mind away.
Oky well most of the characters in FF Games were overly emotional until 9, but in 9 it was some overly hormonal teenager, in ten it was some crying athlete missing his slaves, 10-2 made me want to drown kittens, XII I didn't play for that long because it BORED me so terribly!
Worst - 10-2/XII Purely because 10-2 sucked and XII was an offline version of XI imo.
7+9 Win it for me. <3 Those two but I admit I'm missing my FF9 atm so it's getting my vote.
