i thought IX was much better then VIII and a little bit better then VII. IX was back to the originals and it worked really well. the story and the characters were awesome. also zidane wasnt the silent strong type. he was a quick thinker and acted like a 16 year old with a tail should haha.

VII had a great story and probably the best villan in all of final fantasy.

as for VIII i thought the story was all in all good up until you find out about ultimecia. also i dindt like how they all knew eachother back when they were kids but not when they were older cause of gf's. the whole gf's slowly wear away at a persons memory (or whatever) seemed kinda i dont know stupid. a story should be planned and written. FFVIII seemed like they were jsut throwing things together. starting off normal 6 people meet and befriend eachother, then hey what if they met when they were idk 6 or 7 too, but wait why dont they know eachother, i got it we'll blame it on the gf's. but ill say for the most part the story was good.
