I have played all the FF Games and each have their sperate qualities ;p

FFX was a little complicated but that is a leveling up system and once you read the INSTRUCTIONS, it works out great and you get addicted to upgrade your character to it's ultimate level. The characters can lear all the attacks, all the magics and even blue magic! They have a game called Blitz ball in their instead of the card games in later FF and once you get a hang of it, you get addicted AGAIN! heh

Final Fantasy VIII is difficult at the beginning but the side quests, story lines and the card game kept me in there for over 200 hours of game play.

Final Fantasy IX is more old fashioned and super easy to beat, the music sounds cool but I wasn;t very impressed with it.

Final Fantasy X, even after I beat it I went back to do the MANY side quests which are difficult to do ... especially to get the ultimate weapons for each characters, The battle system was different and I it !

FF X-2, the sequel to FFX is coming out in a few months.

FFXI and FFXII are also coming out soon... with GameCube's Final Fantasy Crytal Chronicals in 2004. If you want more info, go to the FF threads ;p or at www.rpgamer.com and search the games!
