For me it's

  1. Final Fantasy Tactics

  2. Final Fantasy VII

  3. Final Fantasy XI

The three games I keep coming back to in the franchise.

Tactics has the best writing imo as well as gameplay.

Visually speaking VII's aesthetic and music are peak FF.

And then when it comes to getting lost in the lore and world of a virtual game, I like XI.

Granted all 3 share similar themes like good writing, music, gameplay, etc. but those are my standouts.

How about you?

VI, IV, and the original

Runner up is V.

That's a tough one. I'd have to say

  1. VII
  2. IX
  3. And then maybe X. Or VI. Idk it's hard!

VIII or Tactics are runner ups and switch with X and VI sometimes, too. I haven't finished either but loved what I played. I still need to finish XII, especially with all the people here putting it up in their top 3.

9, 7, ~~Lost Odyssey~~, 6.

8 has wonderful music and graphics but the story and characters are pretty much doodoo.

I played the entire XIII trilogy despite thinking XIII was a colossal failure on all fronts. I thought it was so uniquely, fascinatingly bad that I just had to see how they'd try to build on it going forward, and to Square Enix's credit, XIII-2 and Lightning Returns were infinitely better games, not that it necessarily amounted to much. I said 8's characters and story were doodoo but XIII was just abominable Squenix nonsense all the way

  1. Tactics
  2. VI
  3. XIV

I still have Red Chocobo trauma, Kefka still has my favorite boss BGM, and XIV is almost ENTIRELY being carried by Masayoshi Soken and the Primals right now.

I've only played 1 4 5 6, which I would rank 6 1 5 4.

  1. 6 because it's the first I played. got it for gba one Christmas and played it nonstop for months. cried when Celes threw herself off that cliff.

  2. dissidia, what a good game. so underrated, I loved that game so much.

  3. uhhhhhh idk I haven't played another final fantasy enough for it to stand out to me as a favorite. if I had to pick it would maybe be 9? I like the character designs and what I played of it was pretty good.
