1. FFX - My favorite story, characters, and one of my favorite battle systems
2. FFIV - for a long time was my favorite
3. FFVIII - used to hate it for the draw system and thought the story was boring. Now, after completing it a few times, I love it.
4. FFVII - love/hate relationship with this one. Great game, but its overhype causes me to despise it and :rolleyes2 at times.
5. FFVI - excellent up until the World of Ruin. Then I thought it fell apart (storywise), except for the ending which was terrific.
6. FFXI - good game for a mmorpg, but like any mmorpg, it became too monotonous after 6 months
7. FFIII - precursor to elements in FFIV (graphics) and FFV (gameplay). Shame it has not seen the states yet in a official release. Shame on you, Square-Enix!
8. FFI - the one that started it all. Story/characters (or lack thereof) hurts, but gameplay is fun. Nice atmosphere, too
9. FFV - great gameplay, but overall I didn't care for the story or characters.
10. FFIX - what can I say? I just don't like this one, no matter how much nostalgia you throw into it. Didn't like the story, characters, or battle system (way too slow).
11. FFII - boring, boring, boring. Remake is a little better, but instead of being a root canal like the original, its simply like having a tooth pulled out without anesthetics. Blech.
I left out the spinoffs (Mystic Quest, Tactics, Legend, Adventure, KH, etc) because we'd be here forever if I included them.
