FF9 was my first and is still my favourite. I've played 7 to 12 (not including 11). The last time I played 8, I didn't really fancy it, but I was younger then and didn't give it a chance to go anywhere. Getting rid of that game is a decision I regret, as from everything I've checked out recently it looks like a cracking game with a nice story.

Having said that, I'd like to throw in on the side of Tetra Master. That card game is epic. Screw you haters.
