Wich FF is the best?(lets clear a few thing up)

recently,there has been heated discusion in the forums about wich FF is the best.i ask you,the general FF public,whats your opinion?wich final fantasy do you think is the best out of the all the ones they've made?

NOTE:Please assume that all mentioned games are american releases and are not international versions.you may vote for a game that is on any console or handheld,such as FF1 for the nes,PS1,GBA,PSP,none of the refered games may be voted for by use of emulaters,for they may be moded.

if i have left any out,i am sorry,but these are the main games for the final fantasy franchise

Heated discussion? Every single "which FF is best" discussion consists people saying "7" or "not 7", then everyone calls each other stupid and nothing happens. That's not heated, that sucks. Almost puts me off the games in fact.

Fixed.

lol,but the reason i put this poll here isnt becuse of ppl arguing about 7,it was about 9.and i want to see for myself wich one stands out on top

Unfortunately this poll will not clear up anything as im sure if you made a second poll the results would be completely different

And FFVI will ALWAYS be the best

well,if ppl stop being idiots we could get things done,am i right?

That is the most ridiculous proposition I've read all day, and I've just been reading a console war thread, plus earlier today I read one of the posts made by Future Esthar's alternate account.

People won't stop being idiots. I still like FF7 but that's because I'm still 13 on the inside. I know why people don't like it but nobody will admit that I acknowledge this :P

The real Fans will tell you straight up, Mystic Quest is the :skull::skull::skull::skull:.

Is this where I go "Final Fantasy Adventure is not a Final Fantasy game, but a Seiken Densetsu game" ?

I'm pretty sure it is. You just like many like you before have been taught.

Or and FFVI is the best. :razz:

FFVI is the best, it's a fact.

THE JACKEL

X is the best.:)

long live zidane, YOU GO LITTLE GENOME MONKEY TAILED DUDE THAT GOES PINK WHEN PISSED

VII is the best. And before you go all vet on my ass, let me tell ya, I've completed many of the games, and have enjoyed all of them. VII was my third FF, and it surprassed any game to date, IMHO.

Clearly Final Fantasy III (NES/DS) is the best.

I thought FF III was your second favorite...

I voted FF IX, because it has an awsome storyline, nice charachters' design and development, and most important, entertaining sidequests. (Chocobo Hot&Cold! Kweeeh! :choc2: )

:save: Selena

Go ff6 go.

Will you stop hanging everything I told you on the big clock already? >.<
IX was my favourite, but seeing how badly III gets beaten around I changed my mind. Now that poor game has at least one vote.

All of them.

(SPOILER)
Apart from VII. Because that sucksass.

FFX-2 is the best thing since sliced bread!

*throws up a lung*

please dont vote for something just becuse it has the most or the fewest votes,it throws the data off.i made this poll for a logical reason.

in my life's experiance i think all FF's are great:
1-this is the first so its great by defualt,the simplicity and the end dungeons are grand

2-the growth system is one of the best ive seen in any video game.plus the free charecter set up.
4-it cant get any better than 5 party members,the story is great and the charecters are good,too.not to mention that almost every charecter "dies"at some point
5-all the jobs alone make this game awsome,no questions asked
6-pending.i need to go back and play this again...
7-great music,simple battles.the materia system was a good.charecters were only good as far as sephiroth goes,though.still one of my favs.the mini games are really fun(i spent most of my time in the gold suacer lol).
7DoC-vincent has a great background story.its very compelling,but I would say this is the weakest(due to the lack or RPG ness)
8-the storyline is what i loved the most about this game.that and how similar i am to squall.this games battle system has some of the best charecteristics than in any final fantasy on the account of the monsters lvl up as you do.even monster you fight at the begining of the game can give you a hard time when your lvl 80+
9-chocobo hot and cold is my #1 thing about 9.the extra content is weak but its still a great game story wise and gameplay wise
10-my all time favorite.i love just about every thing about this game.
i gata go-the rest is to be continued...

I didn't vote for III just because it would otherwise have no votes. It has effectively replaced IX as my favourite FF, and thus I voted for it.

Whoever voted for FFVII: DoC needs to play more good shooting games. Or maybe just more shooting games then just this one.

If you say VI, you are right. If you say VII, you are wrong. The one I is the difference between awesome and anti-awesome.

Pro tip: Every 3rd FF is better than the 2 before it.

Another one of these?

FFVI for great justice.

FFVI seems to be totally pwning this time

I would agree with you EXCEPT, FFXI is a much better game than FFXII. However, since FFXI is a MMO and many fans will never play it maybe we could consider the two games before XII to be X and X-2, in which case your theory would be correct.

In any case, FFVI wins. FFVI is to Final Fantasy what TNG is to Star Trek, what Anna Karenina is to novels, or what the Super Nintendo is to video game consoles. The Best of the Best. King of Kings, Alpha and Omega, all that jazz.

My favorite is FFX :D

VI fo sho.

This poll isn't going to clear anything up. It all depends on what the fanboys can be bothered to do. If FFVII fanboys bother to vote on this poll, FFVII is a certain winner. If they don't, the chances are that FFVI or FFVIII fanboys do bother, and then FFVI or FFVIII is a certain winner. It's more about a popularity contest than a way to find the ultimate answer, really. That said, I'll just say Mystic Quest is the best FF ever. :p

There, I fixed it for you. :)

how about a univesal correction?

Every final fantasy is great,even and odd.(mistic quest did suck though)

and sephiroth1999AD(wth?),what you said was totally useless."If FFVII fanboys bother to vote on this poll, FFVII is a certain winner."?
thats the point,vote for what final fantasy YOU think is best based on your own opinion.thats also why this is a general poll,so that all fans can vote.if someone thinks FFVll is the best,and if it gets the most votes in the end,then it is obviously the best.

More people liking something does not make it the best

I see, so if a game wins this popularity contest where the amount of voters is a few dozen people, that means the game is "obviously the best". Sounds valid. :) Oh, and I don't think Mystic Quest sucked. It may have been a really easy game, but it was still pretty fun, and I liked the music there.

There is no best, there is no worst! Just many FFs and some fans, some fanboys, some haters, some label-free, all with their opinions or indifference. Every game has people who are madly in love with it and people who hate it with just as much passion :spin:

I say VII because it had the best battle flow in the entire series, a multi-layered and complex plot which was open to interpretation, memorable characters, an interesting take on FFI, and my favorite soundtrack in the series. And minigames. It was a revolution in gaming and I'm proud to have been apart of it.

Accept it and move on.

luckily I'll never accept that, kudos for me.

i really liked ff8
i think becoz it was the first ff i ever played

yea,i know this.but this is about as good as a result as anyone is going to get.i need data dont i?if i could go official,i would.if enough people would vote for what they think is the best out of there own opinion,then no one would need to nay-say me.its all about collecting data.
data,data,data.
its what smart people do when they want to find something out from a bunch of idiots(meaning in a very loose term for normal people,no offense meant)

If you don't mind me asking, renmant, what is the point of all this data-collecting? If it's for personal use, that's fine, but if you're using it for a report on the opinions of FF fans (it seems ludicrous, but it would explain the first post), I would advise against it. Any data you get from any survey is wildly innaccurate unless you can find a random group of thousands of people (even in EoFF had that many people, they'd likely be all FF fans, so not random). After all, I could find 30 people who think Adolf Hitler was better than Nelson Mandela, and use them to "prove" Hitler is more liked than Mandela. Therefore, everything you read here (apart from the following quote and variations thereof) is worth jack squat.

Then again, the poll asked for my opinion, so I said X.

FFVI is best...

i see FFVI has a clear lead.. maybe i should play that one.. on what console can you play that?

GBA/PS1/SNES

although I prefer the RPGOne english translation of the original japanese game. It's an example of a hacked rom being better than the actual game.

Final Fantasy VII. It was my THIRD Final Fantasy game. I love them all but VII will always be my favorite. I love that it is much darker than others in the series and IMHO the characters develop much better than any other game in the series.

Can somebody please tell me what is so good about VI? I honestly want to know. I had never played it so I recently picked up the GBA version and beat it and I really liked it but it just wasn't as good as everyone says it is. The story felt cliche and very predictable. The celes/locke relationship was nice, but other than that I didn't feel any emotional ties to any of the characters. Kefka was super cliche (however, if you take into account his retconned backstory, then he's actually pretty cool).Btw, my favorite is VII. (VII 4 LIFE <3)

Final Fantasy VII still has my vote. The only game that I think that will cause me to not make Final Fantasy VII my favorite would be Final Fantasy XIII.

I voted 9, although I like 6 and 9 the same. Anyways, here is my priority list:
