    ohhh a tie between 7 and x...^_^ well 7 always have and will does it for me ..did i say that right?annway i 7 IMO has the best storyline..so dark and twisted and deep.ff8 had a nice story but too love concentrated ..^_^
    You know you're obsessed with FF when...:laughing:
    1) You yell at the characters. i.e "Cloud, what the heck do you think you're doing?!"
    2) You praise the characters and/or tell them you love them. i.e "Oh yeah, Squall!"or"Nice save Tidus!"
    3)You start to dress/talk/act like the characters and/or pick up their habits i.e saying ...'whatever' half the time,randomly pointing your finger in the air when you talk to someone,ect
    4) You talk about the characters as if you know them. i.e "Oh yeah, I think Cloud and Tifa should get together."or" Seifer such a big jerk!”
    5) When you're playing FF and someone asks what you're doing you reply "saving the planet".
    6) You mistakenly refer pounds/dollars/euros as Gil afew times.
    7) When you grow up you want to be a -SeeD/ Shinra Soldier/ Galbadian Soldier/ member of SOLDIER/ Sorceress/ Choco Sage/ Garden Master/President of Shinra Inc./ Turk/ Scientist/Summoner/Mage/White Mage/Sephiroth
    8) You wondered (or wished) one (or more) of the following:
    --You knew did know (and /or)knew someone as cute as Squall/Cloud/Irvine/Sephiroth/Vincent/Tidus ect,Tifa/Aerith/Yuffie/Rikku/Yuna/Rinoa/Selphie ect
    -You could go to Garden instead of school
    -You could play Blitzball in PE
    -You could drive the Ragnarok/Highwind
    - Chocobos roamed the forests near your house.
    -You wish you could use magic/materia/GF's/summons/Materia
    -You had a limit break

    FF6, for reasons more or less explained by everyone else that has already voted for it. FF7's story is just recycled from that of FF6, and FF8's is quite good (but FF6 still beats it out). I've played through FF9 three times, and I still have no clue where I stand its story. Finally, the story of FF10... Um, no.

    I still have to finish Tactics.

    My fav is FF8's story

    Disclaimer: I only play FF8 until the end of Disc 1, the plot is quite good but that doesn't count because I haven't finnished it yet.

    The best story for me has to be FFT but three of my favorite stories are FF6, FF9, and FF 10

    I chose FF9 It had a very good simple story. This was a calming game after the screamingly confusing FF7-8 stories which had my brain twisting all over the place. If not then FF1 as it didnt have the complex storys of all the characters unlike others. Dont know why people chose FF10 . It had a stupid story. Time travel??? What have then FF writers been thinking

    Of course that might be because this was the authors last hope for video game survival. Had we not loved FF1, there would be no later FF's ,or in fact Eyes on Final Fantasy!AHHHHH! Just thinking about it scares me!

    Thanks to Sagensyg for the sig!

    Ugh, don't make me do this. All of the ones that I've played (minus FF1...*sigh*...) have had wonderful stories. Beautiful. That's what I play these games for. My favorite is, of course, VIII, but X, IX, and VII have excellent stories as well. X, because it was different---tragic, which I love. VII, for the same reason. IX....I don't know what it is about IX, but it is great. The characters are excellent, the villain just might be the best out of them all....it isn't as depressing as I would like it, but with those people, and the setting, the cheery vibe works better, and to its advantage.

    Hell, I'll just go with VIII, since the story's the reason why it's my favorite.

    For the record, time travel worked splendidly in Chrono Trigger. Ocarina of Time also had a bit of time travel and was incorporated quite well. However, there is no such element in FFX; I think you may be confused.

    But I won't disagree that FFX's story is really rather horrible - it lacked any amount of depth at all with the addition of voice acting and the incredible reduction of dialogue. I can't believe it's 1 vote short of tying with second place. But then again, I'm saddened that FF7 is in the lead also.

    I really liked X and VII. Now VII is just naturally brill so I wont bother commenting on it. In X I thought the voice acting was good for so much dialogue and they suited the characters well. What I didnt like about the story was the way there was several groups of summoners with the same mission while in other FF's you played an individual group with a mission but the plain story became much more detailed throughout the game. um..yup

    Rebels against an empire sounds like ALOT of FF's. II, IV, VI, VII, IX, and in slight ways, VIII and X.
