I didn't think so many of you guys would make graphics an issue. You all should be considering everything except that. What makes FF so enjoyable is the truly awesome storylines, characters, and the addicting battles. Their graphics mean nothing, and if you are worried about them so much then you shouldn't be playing FF in the first place.

If you liked 10, then you are REALLY going to love both 7 and 8, since they both make 10 look like a total trash heap (which it is). I would suggest getting both, if you have the time. They are both magnificent in their own ways and you will not regret getting them. If you enjoy those two and want more, then you should also consider getting 6. You can either download it (as FF3 for the SNES), or you can buy Anthology, which has both 5 and 6. 5 isn't that great though.

If your friends say that 8 sucks, then they are total fools and should be punched in the face.
