For the consistancy of the series FF is still one of the best. (at least on ps2, I haven't tried KOTOR yet) It is one of the few game series I'll buy just released without reading a review first.
Individual games of other series might be better. Suikoden III is great and probably better than FF8-9 and obviously better than X-2. But the series isn't consistantly good. Suikoden VI was nowhere near as good. In fact, the sailing eventually made the game unbearable, and the plot was sort of meh. That's a problem for the series overall -- I like individual games in the series, but they aren't all good as a series, more a hit and miss. And for some games the misses are spectacular. There's one game called Ephemeral Phantasia that is extremely bad, as in 10 minutes after I started it I was thinking that instead of me buying the game, they should pay me to play it.
I guess I'll have to try la pucelle tactics then.
Breath of Fire III and Dragon Quarter were the only chapters of that series I've played. I haven't beaten either.
Legend of Legaia, liked everything except the fact that Noa and Gala were forever behind Vahn in progression. I still want to play the sequel.
Shadow Hearts . . . I found the judgment ring to be frustrating as hell, but I bought the game anyway.
Legend of Dragoon was long and slow and had far too many random battles. You couldn't walk more than two steps in some places. I still ended up buying it.
Threads of Fate I played for about an hour before I got bored. I don't remember much about it. I think I need to play it again.
Games by Nipon Ichi like Disgaea and Phantom Brave have been fun.
Of course there is Kingdom Hearts and CoM and then Star Ocean: TTEOT.
I enjoyed playing Front Mission 4, though I was only able to play a demo as it's not available for rent or purchase in my town.
I like MGS, but don't prefer the MGS clones.
I hated Ring of Red. The battle system, which involved gradually moving your mech into position to attack (and be attacked), stated clear meaning of the term "SLOW."
GTA, but I actually think of that as more of a driving game as that is the best part to me.
I haven't played any Elder Scrolls titles, but my cousin played Morrowind which looked pretty entralling. A new game is coming out titled Oblivion. If I had any reason to buy the Xbox or X2/Xenon/360 thing then it would be to buy that new installment.
If I had any reason to purchase a GameCube, I would assume it be purely to buy Legend of Zelda, y'know the newest game that's come out. Majora's Mask was fairly entertaining as well.
The dot.hack series ROCKED with the exception of the very last optional dungeon wherein every room is a battle and all enemies are virus-plagued, therefore, there's no way to succeed.
I haven't played Suikoden titles except Suikoden IV which I thought was pretty good.
There's also Chrono Cross and Chrono Trigger.
I played Xonsaga but not Xenogears.
I liked SaGa Frontier but hated Unltd.
I played Grandia Xtreme, but only liked the parts about saving your items and equipping your abilities. I thought that was interesting. The story just lost me though.
I liked both Dark Cloud games.
I liked being able to create my own skateboard sticker in THUG. That's about it though.
I also own both Golden Sun games for the GBA.
EverGrace sucked. I like the equipment though.
There's more, but I can't think of'em at the moment.

I think the thing with Final Fantasys is that they are quite, epic games. If you compare Final Fantasy IX to say, Breath of Fire 3, there is a huge difference. FFs just seem to be more proffesionally made.
That being said I don't want to get flamed. Breath of Fire 3, Suikoden 2, Grandia I and II were some of my favourite games.
That would be... FF4...easy type.Originally Posted by Lich3636
(shakes fist) you better be talking about 2 from dawn of souls and origins because 2 for the snes was great>>> I dare to say that Suikoden 1 and 2 are above some of the best FF titles.. but not FF9, that game is just too awesome..
If we are talking about FF2, well any RPG is better than that..
FFII (US) isnt Easytype. It was made easier than the original IV, but not to the point that Easytype was. I wrote some stuff on it in the forum FAQ, and there's a link, but suffice it to say; Easytype was a walk in the park. No challenge, ever. They altered multiple peices of equipment to make it a breeze.
Phantasy Star IV, best RPG ever made. pwns Final Fantasy,
you mean the only good rpg on xbox right?
Out of all the RPG series that I've played the only unique one and most memorable series is the FF series and will be forever.

FFs? Epic? That's almost laughable. FFT is the only epic FF title, though some of the earlier FFs(pre-Playstation) come rather close, in my opinion. However, Suikoden and Lunar are all very epic games.
And BoF3 is so much better than FF9.
I agree with Raist. Pre Playstation FFs were extreamly epic (witht he exception of FFT and FFVII)
Phantasy Star series is about as epic as any RPG series gets, while Xenogears comes extreamly close.
I really don't get what you guys call "epic". Though I guess I've been pampered by modern technology. I need depth, dialogue, character growth, a plot that picks at something in your emotions. BoF and Phantasy Star only ever captured a few of my needs. Where as games like FF6 captured all of my needs. And Xenogears of course I think blows everything else away. But honestly PS4 was the only one I could tolerate to completion. Granted it had the advantage of being done after much experience and stuff. But it did seem to get a lot more attention and love and came out such a better product than its predicessors to me. I hope the PS remakes are worth their salt. And I couldn't get into any of the poor BoF games. :/
