[Shin Gouken]

I'm disapointed at V only having my vote *dry*

[SoulTaker*]

i just wanna know who keeps voting for X-2? LOL, Anyway I gave VIII my vote, Squall kicks ass, but leaves the names.

There are a lot of people who really liked Final Fantasy X-2. I personally didn't like it (although the battle system was quite good, I just couldn't stand the characters and the plot), but many people do.

And yes. Get Tactics.

I liked VII the best while VI comes in a very close second.

[DeathKnight]

Damn I should've voted for FFX-2...but voted for FFX...........

blah! they should've had FFX-2/FFX TOGETHER

So as it stands right now for ME FFX-2/FFX=14 votes.

Love both games to DEATH!

I really enjoyed X-2, but I wouldn't even being to [seriously] consider it the best one.

[The Devourer Of Worlds]

FFX-2 is probably a better 'game' than all of the other FFs, it's just not much of a 'story'. Terrible things happen though when you focus on the story and completely forget about gameplay...

You finally got your vote for I.

My reasons:

a) FFI started it all. If it weren't for the success of I, all of the other FF games wouldn't exist.

b) It was years ahead of its time when it was made. Compare it to Dragon Warrior - the other major RPG on the NES, a relatively short hack-and-slash game that had little in the way of balance or gameplay - and you get the idea of how good FFI actually was.

c) It was the best game of its time and the best game to ever come out for the 8-bit NES (yes, even better than Mario 3).

d) It was a game. Some of the modern FF's feel more like interactive movies, where you watch a ten minute cutscene, move your party around for a couple minutes, fight a battle, watch another ten minute cutscene... repeat ad nauseum. You were playing a game in FFI, not the other way around.

e) FFI's combat system has been copied by countless other games and has only really been tweaked since then. They knew what they were doing back then and they did it well. It had inventory management, party-based-combat, and story and character development (well, at least for the NPCs) back before those were all standard in RPGs.

Many of the other FF iterations were good, but they had to build of the first. Final Fantasy I, for what it did and when it did it, is the best of the series, and it will forever be difficult to top.

I just love how EVERY SINGLE PERSON who seems to claim it as the greatest game ever site the exact same few reasons as the huddled masses be4 them. I am sorry to say but a few good qualities in an RPG and repeating those a million times do not make it a great game. I have played through it and beaten it however I don't like ppl treating it like an RPG mecca simply because it was the first Mass-Advertised "Television, Radio, Internet, Etc." that everyone played and base all judgements of other games OFF of it as the Gold-standard of RPG's. I have heard countless ppl on this site bash other FF's simply because they aren't done like VII was. I have one last thing to say. GO ADLAI STEVENSON!!

hey, we're all free for opinions, but don't try to judge other people thats just wrong. seriously man, you need to get a life!

My favorite FF is of course 7 reasons WHY (this is for you Llanowar)

1.Great characters

2.Great story

3.Great Music

4.Great strategy (like materia)

5.Tearjerker

6.just plain great!

[TheSpoonyBard]

don't try to judge other people thats just wrong. seriously man, you need to get a life!

Do you not think this is a bit hypocritical?

My favourite is FFVIII as I found it very easy to connect with the characters.

[cloud_doll]

no not really. That guy was saying that people who like FFVII trash every other game when he's there trashing FFVII

[MikeL Valentine]

I voted Final Fantasy IX

[Holy Lancer]

My second favorite is Final Fantasy 10!
