Well, things aren't looking too good for VIII (my choice), but I've spent over two decades being in the "socially disenfranchised" camp. Not news to me.

What really surprises me is that more people seem to be choosing IX than VII? I thought VII was the holy grail of Final Fantasy, or so its rabid, snarling fans seem to purport. Where are you guys? Did you...gasp...grow into IX???

I still prefer VI, even though I can never ever play it again.
