My favorite so far has been seven. It shot off the PlayStation era and had plenty of new things to offer to the jrpg table. Seven was also epic, got the battle and 'magic' systems right, had characters you could care about, had a fantastic soundtrack, had Tifa on it, and altogether - in my humble opinion - shot off the 'long-haired, emo, leather-wearing, bad-ass bad guy' thing.
One thing I cannot understand about Final Fantasy is the number scheme before seven. Which number was what now?

Use the search bar.
I've played FF4, FF5, and FF6 a bit but I never finished them. Those are LONG games and I usually end up losing interest.
I guess my favorite was FF4.

FF6 is at the top for an excellent story and charcters, and I always enjoyed the relic/esper system and the open worldness the second half of the game had. FF4 and FF9 are around two and three spots,FF9 for being a quirky,over the top love letter to the pre-7 FFs and FF4 for excellent charcters.
Final Fantasy VI. After that, probably the original Tactics.
IV and VII were good, though VII's overrated. VIII was okay, and had an excellent soundtrack, but I never finished it.
All that being said, I'm really not into JRPGs anymore. They just don't feel the same as they used to. (although I will replay old ones)

American Final Fantasy II is really FFIV, and FFIII is FFVI. When FFIV was ready to come to America, several NES FFs had already been released in Japan. America never saw those, so they felt it would make more sense to simply make it number two. Same with VI/III. Once VI had been successful, and they knew they'd release VII to both Japan and America, they ditched the renumbering. Gametrailers.com has a great explanation of the series, btw, that explains a lot of this.Quaidis said:
8 was way better than the others, granted i havnt played 10 onwards as i never bought a ps2.
8 was the first game to have proper characters and a good storyline. My only complaint is that the draw system was a bit daft, but once you learn to refine it gets better. Get 100 curagas junctioned to your hp and 100 quakes on your str on disk 1 makes you ownage for the rest of the game.
Just love the game tbh, completed it millions of times.(to the nearest million)

I played 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. I think I liked FF7 the most and it's the only one I actually completed, but there were good and bad points to all of them.
I'd definitely say seven, and i'd like to say that i played it AFTER i played four and six, and i still thought it was superior.
Beyond seven, i liked nine and then six, and i hate two and eight with a passion.

Final Fantasy XII,
Yes, I know...
I just can't help but love the Epic Political Story, The Realistic World, The Awesome Soundtrack and the Excellent Visual Design presented in the game. That there are about 30 Hours of Good Game there, there's just that boring as hell 20 Hour Gap between the first good 25 and the last good 5.
If you want to ignore my obsession with Good World Building...
I'd have to say Final Fantasy 6 or Final Fantasy 9,
One's a classic and the other has the Best Characters and the Second Best World in Final Fantasy history... the last 1/4 of 9 just happens to be really crappy.

I got a three way tie between FF6, 7 and Tactics: WotL. All really great stories and are the peak of the series. Crisis Core and FF2 are close contenders as well. Crisis Core proved to be a great stand alone game and prequel to 7 and thus far the only good thing to come out of that anthology. FF2 has one of the most brilliant stat systems that is heavily underused in RPGs. I wanna see more of FF2's character build system, and hey it had a fun story too.
I have yet to play 12 so I reserve my judgment for it. I highly doubt it is as bad as so many make it out to be. I mean I highly doubt it is even close to being as bad as that horrible train wreck that is FF8.

Although you could probably say the same for every FF game since seven.
Pfft, JRPGs are gay. Only retarded emo people play those games.
(Whisper: I liked 12 the most. Most of them dont disappoint at all, but 12 did a good mix of what squaresoft and enix both did best before the merger, gameplay-wise at least. The story was alright and wasn't painful. It did give you a sense of being a part of something epic, though.)
I saw a JRPG once, and my eyes started to bleed. RPGs that come from japan DO NOT make up most of my gaming library and they aren't one of my favorite genres.
(Whisper: Are they gone now? May I talk freely?)

Final Fantasy VIII was the first one I played and is still one of my favorites, but my favorite and probably the best one is Final Fantasy Tactics.
