First, I'd have to break down my favorite games of all time in no real order:
Final Fantasy VII
LoZ: Ocarina of Time
Final Fantasy X
Assassin's Creed II
Uncharted 2
Super Mario World
Metal Gear Solid
Diablo II
Half-Life
Based off how many times I've played/can recall all the content from each game, I'll go Final Fantasy VII. Other contenders are definitely Ocarina of Time and Diablo II.

Nope. It's either one of the Zelda or Mega Man Legends games. Final Fantasy, as a series, comes in third place for me. But it's still a special place.
It used to be (Final Fantasy VI). I don't know if I can honestly claim that anymore, though. There's Half-Life, Bioshock, Mass Effect, The Elder Scrolls and several other series that have games which blow me away, and which I enjoy replaying more than any Final Fantasy.
Most of the Final Fantasy games that I love have a hold on me because of nostalgia, and if I'm honest with myself, I don't love them like I used to. I love the memory of them, but the games themselves don't hold up as well anymore. In fact, I might have given up on FF a long time ago if not for this site. (SE owes you some money, BoB, née Sean.)
Being able to talk to other people about the games on a regular basis has kept the nostalgia alive. I'll probably never love a game the way I loved Final Fantasy VI, but that doesn't make it my favorite here and now.
Yep. Final Fantasy VI.
Top 5:
FFVI
Chrono Trigger
Star Ocean 3
Final Fantasy IX
Final Fantasy XII
Disappointed to see that so many consider FF passé. BioWare and Bethesda make fine RPGs, but they will never have the magic and creativity of a Final Fantasy game.
Lamia's Tiara- Headgear in FFIX
Lamia's Flute- Weapon for Eiko in FFIX
Lamia in FFV- a enemy
appearance: a lady with long brown hair, wearing a tiara...half woman and half snake.
Lamia in FF3j- A Harp
Lamia in FFL2- An enemy
FF2j Queen Lamia, at one point she even gets Frionel in a bedroom with her and jumps on the bed and says "take me!".. before she turns into her snakey self. She serves as a mini boss in this game (as Queen Lamia).. and after you fight her as a mini boss, regular lamia's become random foes and later on in the game, Queen Lamia's become random foes as well.
LamiaScl. an item that paralyzes foes.
According to legend, she was once a Libyan queen (or princess) who fell in love with Zeus. Zeus' jealous wife Hera deformed her into a monster and murdered their offspring. She also made Lamia unable to close her eyes, so that she couldn't find any rest from the obsessing image of her dead children. When Zeus saw what had be done to Lamia, he felt pity for her and gave his former lover a gift: she could remove her eyes, and then put them on again. This way, though sleepless, she could rest from her misfortune. Lamia envied other the other mothers and took her vengeance by stealing their children and devouring them.
Agreed. I'm an Elder Scrolls junkie but I play them for different reasons than most games and Final Fantasy is in another galaxy when it comes to characters, music, and gameplay.
I've never seen the appeal in Bioware games and just couldn't stick with the ones I've actually tried.
FFIX is definitely my favorite game of all time.
