FF8. It was so stylised, with great characters that you actually cared for. ALL OF THEM, and noone was left by the wayside (FF7, i'm talking to you). By keeping it compact characters, it meant that veryone had story (FF6, take note). it also had the best graphics (Minus the Next-gen FFs) and I felt a cool, futuristic story that was very westernised yet still felt mature and quirky at the same time.

Next was FF7. this introduced m into them. i'd played the others, but mainly felt "meh" toward them. Then this mag was saying 2FF7, best game ever". Checked it out and got into it. then i replyed some of the old ones and i love them too. It was the story and the setting that drew me.

I hated FF9 with a passion. Simply cause it felt like a step-back in the gameplay ways. I thought FF7 was meant to be the last (Equip and learn) FFs but FF9 re-introduced this, and I thought that every FF was a step forward. Not a step back. its not that it's a rubbish game, it's just taht IMO, it is a poor FF. This might bring a flame fest, and I don't want it. renember, it is a OPINION.
