9, followed closely by 8.
8 was the first one I ever played, one of the first games I had ever gotten on my ps1, and I loved it, but only recently beat it for the first time.
9 was the first Final Fantasy I had ever beaten, and I've played it through quite a few times.
I also enjoyed 6, 7, 10, and 13

Does the soundtrack to Crisis Core count?
*sigh* well, I hate jRPGs, including just about everything in the FF series, so I'll go with the only one I was ever able to finish playing: VI (or III to some). Strong characterization, a battle system sophisticated and clever enough that it almost made me forget it was turn-based, and a central concept that didn't require an entire afternoon to wade through.

I like most of the Final Fantasy games, but I'll always have a special connection with X. It was the first PS2 game I ever owned, and the first true Final Fantasy game I played legitimately, and the one that really got me hooked on the whole series. Yeah, the voice acting could have been better, but it did so many other things right: a totally redesigned battle system, character leveling that took the best of both the VII and IX models, a minigame that was actually worth playing, and a heartfelt story told by interesting characters.
Runner up would be the first 2/3rds of VI, with it's awesome musical score and colourful cast. It's really too bad that it crapped all over itself in the third act. After that, I have some good memories of IV, and VII is still very slick if you can get past the (very) dated graphics.

I know, right? Whenever I said my favorite FF was IX people would just kind of stare at me. It's like.. uhh.. awkward much? Sorry, there are things better than VII out there. (That would be why 9 is second in the poll.) I always thought IX was the last memorable FF game and I say memorable because while X was good, I wasn't able to truly get as into it as I was the older games.AC Medina said:
As a fellow adorer of IX, I must agree. The one thing off the top of my head I can think of that was an issue (and probably the only issue) was that random as all hell boss at the tail end. There was no mention of Nercon at ALL through the whole game, the final boss should have been Trance Kuja but considering that random as all hell boss seemed to be a trend in games back then I suppose it fits in there somehow XD.Lambi said:
I'm actually really adoring FF XIII right now. I like all the characters, even Vanille with her ever changing accent, and the battle system is wonderful. Its like they took what made FFX-2's battle system great and put it in a game that didn't make your dick fall off in shame.
VII, closely followed by X, then VIII.
Probably because it was literally the first game i played, even before pokemon and crash bandicoot. Took me long enough to figure out how to actually play it, and when i did i couldn't put it down, which isn't a good thing for a 6 year old.. Pure obsession though, and still standing as the greatest game i've ever played. The other installments are pretty sweet as well, played the first one a few months back and by god it is old school..

Whichever one turns out to be the last one they make, because then that awful game series can finally fucking die...
X.
