I have no interest in VII. Played it and didn't live upto the hype, really average and boring nothing special.

Disliked materia system.

Dislike where characters are blank slates, only differentiated by limits (VII,VIII) Much more prefer fixed class characters as in IX.

V and XII had the best battle systems.

XII is quite a good game, and the characters were really nice.

X has one of (if not) the best stories, most I've been drawn into a Final Fantasy.

IX had the best soundtrack. And to me the best Final Fantasy.

XIII was big let down, was all pretty pictures that was all.
