Definiely PSX era. All the three games were absolutely lovely.
SNES and PSX eras.
The first four eras on the poll are my favorites.
I stand by my assessment that IX was the last real FF game. The series hasn't been the same since jumping to PS2.

That would still allow someone to count FFX as a good FF as well, which I simply can't get behind.

If FF8 can count, FF10 can count.
In all honesty if it wasn't for FF9 I would have cut the line after FF7. Which is like half the series away. Depressing.

You could easily say the same for Playstation era too!
Chrono Trigger and IV have a special place in my heart, somewhere beneath all of the dark matter and decaying tissue. And, I finally played VI this year and it was amazing.
But I still think Tactics has the best story and protagonist out of them all, and VII and VIII are way more fun to play than the SNES Final Fantasies. Maybe it's because I'm a 90's baby but I really think PSX takes this one. Flawless victory too.

I believe that the best era occurred during the transition from Super Nintendo to Playstation (FF VI and FF VII), but if I had to choose based on consoles I would have to lean toward the Super Nintendo era because all the games were solid with Final Fantasy VI being the standout.
The PSX era was really solid, the NES era was great for its time, and while the PS2 era had one of my favorite FFs of all time (XII), it also had my least favorite (X). XIII's a mess which is too bad. All that said, I consider the SNES era to be the most solid, with three games which were all original, enjoyable in their own distinct ways, and incredibly important in shaping up the definition of FF.
I was going to say SNES hands down, but then I remembered how much I liked FF8 at the time.
Damn wish i could choose 5-9 cos those were the best ones but ultimately i have to say PSX Era but it was very close
