because in some of the posts I have made I like to make an indicator of how I rate each FF game in each retrospect.
and I will only rate the ones I have played [rather it be emulator or console]
I will devide this into several catagories judgeing each game on its factor:

Storyline:
VI
VII
IX
X
IV
V
I
II
III
VIII

Characters:
#1 is Devided between VI and VII
X
IX
V
IV
VIII
II
I [but to be fair we didnt get to know the chars that well]

Graphics:
X
IX
VIII
VII
VI
V
IV
III
II
I

Music:
VIII [I liked its music more then anything else in the game]
X
VII
VI
IV
V
Mystic quest! [its soundtrack is actually amoung the best]
III
I [but for its time it was pretty good]
II

Sound effects:
it is even in all games

gameplay:
VI
VII
V
IX
IV
VIII
X
I
III
II

More thoughts:
Final Fantasy I: I used to have FFI on my ol NES and I have recently played the re make of it on my GBA emulator.
FFI is olschool but without it you would not have its latter [and more well known] counterparts.

Final Fantasy II: its star wars in RPG form, its not my favorite

Final Fantasy III: some ways better then II, but other ways worse.

Final fantasy II/ IV: I thought was pretty good, though it was weak at some points I liked it.

Final fantasy V: it did not have best in storyline but it was sure fun.

Final fantasy III/ VI: arguably the BEST final fantasy, and it is definately my fave.

Final fantasy VII: My second fave in the series by far, to me its a classic by now.

Final fantasy VIII: not so good in most spots, not the best storyline but it has some good graphics and gameplay... though it still falls short.
I hate it the most out of the FF's

IX: I love it, nuff said

Final Fantasy X: a very good game, the dubbing is a little bad in the english version but its still good, the only bad point about this game is Blitzball... I hate it.

and who can forget the greatest Final fantasy ever:
Final Fantasy: Mystic quest

okay I was being sarcastic, MQ actually should have been a stand alone game rather then posted a part of the FF series...
