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

I see you have failed to detect the irony in the title and the subsequent releases. Wink

The Kingdom Hearts series and Legend of Mana are also amazing games, BTW.
I really love Kingdom Hearts.
Was the first time i was really blown away and sucked into a game.
 


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

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.

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.

Obviously you've never played a Final Fantasy game.

FFVIII for me, but Chrono Trigger is really my all-time favorite game period.  I just played through it again, and it's just as glorious as ever.

I've played VI probably around 30 times. It's absolutely perfect. VII, IV, IX, and Tactics are almost as good.

I've played VII through XIII, except for XI (nobodies played XI though) and have V DL'd on to my PS3 (havnt played yet though) and will soon add VI as well. XII is definitely my favourite of the bunch followed by VII.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Tactics is definitely my favorite. But of the titles listed in this poll I think I'll have to go with XII, with VI being a close second.

Honestly the Ivalice Universe might be the best thing to come out of the whole series.

Dragon Quest is a better and more consistently awesome series.

I've played and finished all of them from 1-12, including chrono cross, chrono trigger, vagrant story, valkyrie profile, xenogears, final fantasy tactics (most of squaresofts games in general - used to be my favorite game company until I discovered bioware/black isle studios and Bethesda). 

My favorites are difficult to explain. I guess it would be this way:

1. Chrono Cross (for the music, visual elements, gameplay, and plot)
2. Final Fantasy VII (for the music mainly, but also for the plot and gameplay)
3. Final Fantasy X (Just for the plot, but it's my favorite plot in the whole damn series)
4. Vagrant Story (Love everything about this one)
5. Final Fantasy VI (Plot all the way)
6. Final Fantasy VIII (Nostalgia hits me hard, it was my second Final Fantasy game - actually adored the combat/leveling mechanics)
7. Xenogears (Long, but brimming with ingenuity)
8. Chrono Trigger (The Snes epic, pals)
9. Final Fantasy V (The class system was loverly)
10.Final Fantasy XII (Worthless plot and music, but the gameplay really surprised me)
