Which non-numbered FF game is your favorite?

[Wolf Kanno]

What it says on the tin, FF has branched out into a tone of spin-offs and prequel/sequel nonsense, so which ones do you consider to be the best of the bunch. Note the game must be an official Final Fantasy game, it can't simply be inspired by it or have characters from the series making cameos in it. I will count direct prequel and sequel titles though.

[Pumpkin]

X-2 of course!

[Spuuky]

Strongly judging all of you who don't say a Tactics game.

[Lyndis Highwind]

Crystal Chronicles!

[Sephiroth]

[maybee]

Same here with FF X-2

[Fynn]

All of Tactics. Tactics Advance especially, but the original and A2 are also excellent

Might as well rename this thread 'which Final Fantasy Tactics game is your favorite?'

[Karifean]

X-2 for sure.

[FFNut]

Tatics! The story and the environment hits just perfect.

[Shiva95]

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but mine is Lightning Returns. I think it's a great conclusion to the FFXIII trilogy and I love the story.

[Depression Moon]

I'm not counting a direct sequel since that still has a number on it. With that out of the way my only option is Final Fantasy Crystal Bearers.

really enjoyed The Spirits Within even if there was more CG story movies and not so much gameplay

You just need to get better with the controls, avoid using the skip function because it makes understanding what the game wants from you difficult, instead focus on using the backwards and forward options, especially duing the scenes with Aki and the marine dude. The goal is to avoid their scenes and focus on the quirky supporting cast, make sure to back track to watch their scenes to find the correct clues. Once the story advances to the point when the supporting cast is dead, you should simply put the film to 3x Speed and use the rest of the scenes at that point to interpret the true meaning of the game. Its a tricky puzzle but I feel Square was pretty bold for making something so meta. The fact it doesn't get the same credit as MGS2 is really a tragedy.

So far I'd probably say XIII-2
