I started of with VIII, never played VII and did a dwell a little in IX.

My fav would be X honestly, 'cos it was comparatively easy to navigate with the fixed roads and all. Also the battle system which is turn-based allows for more war-planning as compared to the quick-thinking battle system of previous FFs.

My second would be VIII. Because of the graphics!! I prefer more realistic human forms as compared to the cartoonish-kiddish VII and IX.

I would love to play VII though, since my cousin said it's good, but will prob be turned off by the quality of the graphics since I'm already so used to PS2.

But everyone has their own favs and I'm just glad that we all agree in one thing: FF ROX!
