    FFVI, but you weren't far off. IX would be a close second.

    And I appreciated the irony of that picture saying every FF stands alone while including logos for multiple spin-offs which often do anything but.

    Of course, the obvious answer is Dissidia. *grabs shield for tomato bombs*
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    I believe that there are certain titles in the Final Fantasy series that may have had more dedicated resources to it, but that is the type of information that will never be released to the public. I mean, it's not a stretch of the imagination to say that console titles receive more attention than portable or mobile titles. Objectively, those console titles will likely be considered better in several ways than their portable or mobile counterparts.
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    I'd agree with that.

    I think that VI-X all have a legitimate shot of being the 'best'. There are hordes of dedicated fans for each of those titles, and I'm pretty sure they I've referred to almost all of them as the 'best' at one point in time or another. At the moment, I am just confused.

    If you want to find an "objectively best" Final Fantasy, you need to come up with a clear criteria for what constitutes as "best".

    Copies sold? Money earned for SE? Average rating by customers? Average rating by critics?

    FFT is a terrible game that is not remotely enjoyable. It is the worst TBT game I have ever played and literally anything, even including dreck like Eternal Eyes, is preferable. Nevermind actually good examples of the genre like Front Mission, Vandal Hearts, or anything on the western side of things such as X-Com and Jagged Alliance.

    FFT is even worse than FFIX and XII, in fact. At least I've been able to slog partway through those and they have SOME enjoyment to be derived.

    Milf... You need to turn in your CK badge and gun. That's just sacrilegious right there.

    Final Fantasy I.

    Search your feelings, you know it to be true. The story is barely a thing, the gameplay is antiquated and ridiculously difficult and literally every game after it has had better battle systems, and the music is rubbish with only a single battle theme for everything
