Final Fantasy VIII

1. Final Fantasy VIII

Great music, great battle system (to me), Triple Triad (best mini game in FF?). Decent story, forced love plots are very tired in my opinion.

Final Fantasy VI

2. Final Fantasy VI

The reason why it's at #2, depth. Just play it to understand. Kefka, I honestly don't see why some people consider him the best villain in the FF series. Sure Sephiroth was more of a bad-ass but this guy just came off as annoying.

Final Fantasy VII

3. Final Fantasy VII

Deep story, I honestly still don't get a few of the little aspects of it, you really have to pay attention. Familiar battle system with a great Magic/Materia set up. I'm a sucker for the leveling up grind. Only negative is the disappointing music quality. Midi on a CD? Well it was the first on the format so I'll let it slide a little since it is truly excellent.

Final Fantasy IX

4. Final Fantasy IX

More of a return to the older style, kind of hurts it a little bit but everything else is excellent. The Abilities or "perks" system is a nice added touch, I've probably wasted hours just beefing up my characters. Card mini-game is a nice touch but nowhere near as good or refined as Triple Triad.

Final Fantasy X

5. Final Fantasy X

This has all the makings for a great title; soundtrack, blitz ball, battle and leveling system even the graphics which I really don't care about...then came the story and the lead character. Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha, enough said.

Final Fantasy IV

Final Fantasy V

7. Final Fantasy V

Final Fantasy II

Final Fantasy Tactics

Final Fantasy

10. Final Fantasy

Played this years later when it was re-released on the PSX with II, just couldn't get into either the way I could with IV and on.
