5 and 6 are the only truly good ones. Some of the others are decent, but everything since 6 (excluding 12) has been awful more often than not. Don't even get me started on all the remakes that actually made the games worse, what Square did to Star Ocean, or Kingdom Hearts. Dragon Quest is their only good series now, and only because they swallowed up Enix with their superior shut-in otaku wanking skills.
FF 6 > 5 > 12 > 7 > 13 > 10 > 1 > 4 > 9 > 2 > 3 > 10-2 > 8

Off the top of my head I will say VI is my favourite, but I'm certain that this is heavily influenced by Aria di Mezzo Carattere. And Celes. (Crap, I'm thinking I've reached total fanboy status concerning her, as so far her exclusion is the only reason I've yet to touch Dissidia.)
IX is an honorable mention, if only for the damn curse I have. I've yet to finish it as every time I hit the 4th disc something happens that requires me to pack up and move, only to completely forget where I am in the story or how to use the characters in battle that I start up again from disc one. It's happened 5 times now.

I rather liked Dirge, too. I think they failed hard on the character designs, the inclusion of Gackt, and the story...but I rather liked the game mechanics. Also, the soundtrack was damn good. ^^s69-5 said:what.twitch said:
Somebody actually liked Dirge? Wow, I'm amazed...
FF:Tactics is king.
FFX-2 and FFVIII are both very good (and misunderstood).
FFIV and FFVII also get honorable mentions.
Worst FF game is Mystic Quest

My favorites would have to be 1, 6, and 7. While Kefka and Ultros made it a lot of fun, I just find myself always coming back to 7, however. Perhaps not the best gameplay, but the story, soundtrack, and whole universal background is pure gold which I have yet to find to resonate with me in another Final Fantasy.
FFVII is my favourite but I am sick of people bringing up FFVII in every thread tangentially related to Final Fantasy. Yes we get it it was over rated but now the hate is getting over rated. You don't have to be cool and different by saying I like FFVI I think it is the best or IV or IX. That is your opinion. In your opinion it did not live up to the hype. To me FFVI does not live up to the hype that a vast majority of FFVII haters give it. The question was what FF is your favourite not if FFVII is over rated as well. Even the OP is guilty of this. You ususally and I know this is a bit ironic of me saying this but it is really irritating me as it always pops up in every FF thread. If you just ignore that FFVII has a lot of hype and stop making a big deal of it it will go away. That is how hype works. They want you to make a big deal of it to spread the brand name.
I never really understood why people hate VIII so much. The biggest complaints I've heard are about bland characters and a bad combat system. For me, the best I've played is still Final Fantasy VIII. The story was grand in scale and the romantic elements in the plot, while prevalent, was done with the lightest touch. As for the gameplay, I have to say I found the Junction system to be easy to understand and use. Of course, 6, 7, 9, and 10 are all due their well deserved respect, it just amazes me why 8 wasn't given its. Ah well. =/
I really, really love IX. I think because it was a throwback and the last hurrah of the fantasy Final Fantasy games (if that makes sense) that didn't involve sci-fi plots.
