I don't really pick favorites, I like all of the ones I've played. Unfortunately, I see this thread going south very soon since a lot of people on The Escapist aren't at all fond of JRPGs...

I enjoyed the crap out of 3 on the snes. I say 3 not 6 because the big ass title screen on the version I played said 3. I don't care about japan I played FF3.

7, easily, because this was the game in the middle of the storytelling revolution between intense reliance on character development, and then now, which focuses much more heavily on plot development. Six was great too, though. Probably the latest one I enjoyed the most in the series was 9. 10 made me dumber and won't be easily forgotten without alcohol. 12 was really dramatic and intense, which was nice, I just wish the game made me care more about the characters. But yeah, having played the whole series, 7 is the first I played, and it's still my favorite.

....Hasn't there been a thread on this before? Maybe like, several? Haven't checked, but this seems like a topic that should be well covered.

Seriously? Twelve?

I won't fall into the trap of saying, "well if you thought that was good, you're WRONG", but in terms of storyline and very specifically soundtrack, character and plot development (that didn't invovle buying the numerous spin offs), there's a lot better games out there.

Twelve did exactly what it said on the tin, it was a graphically great game by PS2 standards, a huge game with an expansive storyline and unique customisation abilities, but somewhere along the way, it lost the humour and personality of some of its perdecessors, or so I thought anyway. I didn't find the characters all that likeable, and at times they just seemed a little irrelevant. It tried too hard, and didnt have enough back story for me.

Personally, I liked ten, but six is a very close second. Very close.

FF6. i liked it because it was a long game, and it had a good storyline with enough mindf**ks to keep me guessing.

My personal favorite is 6. When they released 7, IMO the series were starting to suck, and hit the bottom of the barrel when 8 came out, but 9 was surprising good, which is actually my second favorite one.

I enjoyed 9 and in fact I am playing through it again now. Up to Cleyra, the first of the 2 strange trees. :D

Final Fantasy 6. It's the peak of the series and aside from 9 (which was a "throwback" to the "roots" of the series) just about the last game that can still be called "Final Fantasy" rather than "Final Sci-Fi".

Yes Final Fantasy 7 was still a good game.. and had a good story.. BUT.. it was basically a rewrite of 6's story, and put in a futuristic setting rather than steam punk.
