Agreed, it's all just opinion. You can definitely look at things in a different light though. I'm currently enjoying all the FF games. Playing favorites would be damn difficult since the merits they all have make them all pretty different from each other. I mean seriously, the only thing that I feel it's fair to judge by is gameplay, and I have yet to find a FF with gameplay I dislike. I greatly enjoy the junction, Materia, Magicite, job, and stat growth systems and greatly look forward to what the next game will offer in terms of new twists on the classic formula.
