what is best?

[silentenigma]

i dont wana play every single FF!! and i also dont really wanna play the older ones, cos i like all the graphics of new games!

you'll learn eventually.

Since you seem to like more recent games with graphics etc then I have a feeling that you will probably like FFXII.

Graphics-wise, XII would naturally be best, just be sure to be very, very patient if you choose to play this one

FFX or FFXII or FFX-2?
im new to FF but i dont wana play every single FF!! and i also dont really wanna play the older ones, cos i like all the graphics of new games!

so i was gonna see wht you guys like best!! any help will be appreciated!

My favorite FFs (out of VI-X2 and XII) are VI and VII, but in my opinion, VII has horrible graphics for the most part, and a lot of people don't seem to think highly of VI's. I really encourage you to look beyond graphics when it comes to these games

Besides XII, X, and X-2, the graphics in VIII are alright as well. VI I think has good graphics too, but in a different way (less realistic* and more pixelly, but surprisingly detailed and cute). IX has graphics almost on the level on X, but the characters aren't too realistic.

As for older games, III is out on the DS, and IV is coming out sometime on the same system, so the graphics will be high quality, but again, not so realistic.

* by realistic, I mean looking like what you would see on Earth

As you can see at the bottom of my sig I have beaten FF V,VII, VIII, IX, XII. Which were all good games my favorite was VII. At this moment I'am working on IV, and X. Pretty soon I might get VI. I would recommend playing VII or X they're the best.

Well, my personal favorite of those three is FF12. FFX is more like a traditional FF game in a lot of ways, though.

Oh, and don't let anyone talk you out of playing FFX-2--it's actually quite enjoyable as long as you take it for what it is. Not to mention, one of the best battle systems in any FF game (IMO, anyway). Just make sure to play FFX first, so you'll actually have some clue as to what's going on.

And please, don't let graphics stop you from playing the earlier games. They're great games, and you'd be amazed how easily you can get used to the graphics after playing for a bit.

Threads about more than one FF belong in the General FF forum.

My personal order of preference:
1) FFXII
2) FFX-2
3) FFX

XII is a great game, but it doesn't live up to the Final Fantasy legacy, which was pushed forward by X.

I've never played X-2.

[Wolf Kanno]

XII is my first choice as it's depth and scope is greater than most of the series. I never liked X and actually found it to be pretty boring, in fact (to me at least) it's the most boring storywise of the three you mentioned. X-2 is a game you play for gameplay and little of anything else...

Seriously though, play FFIII DS cause it's got sexy graphics and is good overall. I also feel you should give the earlier games a shot cause I can't necessarily say the recent generation is the best.

VII took my FF virginity. From there I went to X, then X-2, then Dirge, and lastly XII. VII would be the ultimate game if they were to utilize that story with the graphics of XII. I loved X and X-2, even though X-2 was a bit "Charlies Angels"-ish.

I do want to go back down the line and play more of them, even the ones that some say suck so I can make my own opinions.
