Before I start I'll say that I've played from IV all the way to XII (minus any of the spinoffs and XI). That said, here goes.....


Best Story - Probably VI for me. The whole idea behind the story in that game was awesome. I loved the fact that Terra learnt who she was during the course of the game. A close second would be VIII. On a side note I'm quite fond of the storyline for XII also. It was straight forward and to the point. All three (more the former two than XII) of these games use the characters as a basis for their storylines and I think that's why I like them. The story revolves around the development of the characters.

Best Gameplay - VIII. I loved the Junction system. Pure and simple. I'm also a fan of the Job System from V and the Sphere Grid from X.

Music - IX. I loved the medieval tone to the music in IX. Tunes like Feel My Blade, You Are Not Alone, The battle theme and Assult of the White Dragons are just a few of the many great tracks on this game. VIII and VI would also be in the running.

Best Main Character - If we're talking MAIN main character then probably either Terra or Zidane. They are equal in my book. I also quite liked Vaan because of his attitude. He was pretty much just along for the ride, haha.

Best Villian - Probably Seymour. He reminded me of a vigilante with his idea of healing the world by destroying it.

Best overall - For me, VIII. It was my first and it brings back fond memories.



Worst Story - X-2. Although, I do have mixed feelings. Although the main story wasn't that compelling, the story involving Paine, Baralai, Nooj and Gippal was very cool. I wanted to hear more about that. Why couldn't X-2 have been about that?

Worst Gameplay - IV? I don't really have an opinion on this one cause I tend to like them all. IV was probably the slowest for me.

Music - X-2. As someone stated before, there is a couple of tracks that are good but the rest is drivel. I remember when I first heard the music on the intro screen (the piano track) and I thought it was one of the best tracks ever. Sadly the rest of the soundtrack was crap

Worst Main Character - Cloud. There's no definite anything there. People will put it down to the fact that he doesn't know who he is but I put it down to crappy translation and lack of any kind of personality at all.

Worst Villian - Sephiroth. Jenova was so much cooler.

Worst in General - X-2 for me. I had fun, just not as much as I hoped for.
