Agree'd! :razz:

VI

My vote went to Final Fantasy IX.

VI, VII or IX!!! I really cant decide:rolleyes2 They all have amazing stories, characters, sidequests:cool:
I love them all but VII was my first so ill vote for that:D

FFIX was my first so needless to say my vote goes to FFVIII's vastly superior successor.

They're all good but...

"FFIX is best."

I want a hundred lines of that handed into my pigeon-hole by noon. Without fail.

(to me) remove VI and XII and it's a real tossup.

In reality each one, including XII, is a candidate for best in the series. I look at it this way: Nomura said that each FF is a different team's interpretation on what FF is and what it should be. I interpret them like this:

VI is the play, VII is the movie, VIII is the novel, IX is the story book, X is the biblical story, and XII is the epic.

Since I'm not tainted by the presence of an anti-FF7 bandwagon, FF7.

9 is damn close though, for being the first (and last) after 5 to actually closely resemble the FF universe.

What sickens me is that there are people out there who don't believe FF9 to be a true FF. These are the same morons who thought FF7 was the first FF and that Vivi was "a very original character design, I'd never seen anything like him before". smurfing cretins. FF9 is twice the "true" FF that 6, 7, 8, 10, 11 and 12 put together will ever be (not many realise that 6 was the first to really deviate from the series conventions).

Are you saying that some of the changes made since FFVI are bad? FYI, the FF series would suck a whole lot if there was never any variation. Many of the things in FFVI had lasting positive effects for the series. We could have said in 1988 that FFII didn't belong in the series because it extremely different from its predecessor.

And...FFXII was medievalish, featured decent-at-best character development, an item-driven story, and kept its integrity.

FFIX was medievalish, but it had excellent character development, a character-driven story, and lost its integrity by purposely making the atmosphere of the game unrealistic and by being advertised as "going back to its roots"

Now which one is more like the first five FF's?

Oh and FFVI gets my vote.
