    Comes down to taste really but I would argue that for me, Suikoden and Shin Megami Tensei have a better consistency record than FF does but at the same time, the series have other factors that makes this a bit unfair to FF since it has the longest running mainline series whereas the others only have a few for the mainline. Shin Megami Tensei does easily beat FF in terms of a franchise for me. There are only a few non-mainline FFs I really love whereas MegaTen has spin-off series that are on par or even better than the main series.

    Suikoden is also a very different beast as well and a large part of the series appeal is the connected world that the series span, sadly its main story is aborted so we'll never have a real conclusion unless Konami makes some changes which will probably never happen.

    The other series vary. Part of the issue I have with this question is that FF has been around long enough to finally make crap whereas the other series were largely struck down in their prime so its hard to make the comparison from that angle. It is also difficult when I think about how FF has so many good games while the others don't but FF has 14 main titles whereas many of the other series I like rarely made it to their sixth installment so its kind of hard to judge there either.
