Because FINAL Fantasy 1 was Squaresoft's last ditch effort at a game which turned into a sleeper hit. #1 WAS to be their last game, and they keep making them because it's their biggest franchise Oh, logic

Honestly, most of my favorites stem from nostalgia. I don't play video games anymore. With a child, a family, a full-time job, online school, and many other hobbies I have to squeeze in, videogames simply aren't on my daily schedule, anymore. I really f**king miss that.

I've played most of them and I have to go with VII on this one. It was the first one I played, but it also has my favorite cast of characters and soundtrack. I really enjoyed the whole storyline as well. Really, I felt that I got the whole package with VII.

Really? The first games I remember that did that to me were Warcraft 1, Heretic 1, Doom 1, and Diablo 1. Good times.

I see you have failed to detect the irony in the title and the subsequent releases. ![Wink Wink](https://www.progarchives.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif)

The irony is that the game was Hironobu Sakaguchi's last ditch effort for success in the gaming industry, hence "Final Fantasy". But I'm glad you are aware of that. It gives you a reason to post, I suppose.

I never enjoyed VII all that much. I've played it on PlayStation though (the original system), so the load speeds were horrid.
VI is my favourite though. In fact, I like the Japanese original (therefore FFIII) translated into English, rather than the US release.
I really like Lufia and Lufia II though.
Yeah, not Square/Enix but I don't care.
And yes, Secret of Mana and Legend of Mana are also great.

Kefka is just the best baddy. I know people go on about Sephiroth but nah, it's Kefka. There were a few scenes in FFVI that upset me. Like Kefka with the Espers.

He's pure evil, Sephiroth was just a momma's boy ![](smileys/smiley36.gif) I know what you mean though, the way he poisoned Dome's water supply... *shivers*

Also - Kefka actually succeeded in destroying the world. You have to take him down after he does so and becomes a demi-God

As far as I know he is the only Final Fantasy villain to have achieved this? As I said, the man/clown/thing is a menace!
