I own final fantasys VII-X at the moment.I would love to play the others,but right now im broke,so no new games for me...

But sofar,IX is one of my least favories GAMES,and definetly my leas favorite final fantasy.I havent played X enough to drop it in a spot from best to worst.

And why do i not love this game like so many of you fans?...I'll tell you...

One,im a big starwars,sci fi fan,so seven was totaly great for me...but like many siad befor,I was one of the fans introducecd to final fantasy with VII.I hated it.First time i played it i was expecting more along the lines of Legend Of Zelda.I hated it.I put it down,turned off the game and didnt play it again for a week.Know how far i got?I didnt even get ask my name.But after a week,i went back...and gradually,i loved it...By the second disk,i was hooked.The characters were wounderful.Great storys behind them,the storyline had so many twists and turns and forks in the roads...And it wasnt just a 'we need to save the planet' game.You had the revenge of a man for his home,a person trying to get things right in his mind,a person trying to avenge his lost lover,you had a character that wanted to live up to his father...it wasnt a 'oh,this guys growing powerful,he wants to take over the world,lets stop him!' game.There was more to it.

then came 8.Sadly,this was a game i felt was that 'lets stop the big bad guy'.But...you start the game thinking that your going to fight in a war,or just do seed missions,then boom.Not so anymore.They introduce the sorceress and you suddenly think shes the main villan and you have to stop her.You do,then theres another villian you have to stop,again thinking shes the main one.Stop them,and then you relize 'wait...a third one?!'...So many villans!Maybe thats what got me to like this game.That,and the graphics.It was a step up from the blobs in 7(BUT I LIKE THE BLOBS!).

then,finnaly,IX...Whats to say?it was a love story.as was 8.But...moreso.The main character wasnt too serious intill twords the end.The femail leed seemed delicate and unable to protect herself,though she easly thought for herself.This game was good,very very good,but...it wasnt the midevil thing,or the weapons,or much of the characters,or the battle system...It was the story...i didnt much care for it myself..
