Most ppl, like ff7 but hate FF8 or the other way round.

so did i but ive come to see FF8 as a very good game in its own right. I never really warmed to FF9, whilst playable its definitely not one of the best. FF6 is good, but not really as great as people say. FFX is in my opinion the second best FF, but can appear too linear.

But its all personal opinion. and a lot of it my boil down to the first FF you personally played.
