Final Fantasy Series - Progressive Rock Music Forum

I've played VIII, IX , X, X-2, XII and Tactics. Haven't beat IX though.

8

VII. But I've only played a few of them.

I was initially confused because My FF2 was on SNES, but that was the initial outside-of-Japan title.

Anyway, I have only played the FF1 (NES), FF4, and Mystic Quest.

Not enough to vote, but I like these games. I really ought to play 3. When 3 came out, it was huge.

Edit: By "3" I mean 6. LOL

Stupid title changes!

One of the most successful gaming franchises to come of Japan, and probably in the world, they are favourites of mine. Almost every single one is brilliant (excluding maybe ones past X, although XIII was pretty good), and have pretty much been the cornerstones of my childhood. Extremely deep games that you return to after playing them 10 times and still find something new, a little bit like good albums in a way

Which brings us to the music: staggering. Nubuo Uematsu has been described as the John Williams of gaming, and I disagree: I think he's better and more creative than John Williams if I'm honest! All consistantly have a stunning soundtrack, to compliment the amazing gameplay.

Surely the Emporer of all RPGs? Let's celebrate it with a vote on your favourite

It's a really tough call, but due to how influential it was on the installments after it (Final Fantasy VII almost directly copies the storyline), the characters and how deep they are, the storyline, the bosses, the growth system, the MUSIC (hats off to Dancing Mad), the depth to the game... Everything is perfect. The SNES graphics don't bother me in the slightest

(Followed by X, V, VII and then III)

	I've only played and beat 1,2,5,6 & 7... I got pretty far in 8 and tried 9 and 11. 10 looked really bad to me, but 3 & 4 are next on the list. I doubt I'll go past 9. Of these, I definitely like 6 the most followed closely by 7. I doubt any game will ever top FFVI for me...

	Vi followed closely by IX - these are the two that most represent what I love about the series. VII, IV and X deserve mention. I'm in the middle of XIII right now and not really caring for it too much. But it does make me appreciate XII more. V was also pretty solid with the class system, but the story wasn't quite as strong.

	I almost flunked out of college because of VII.
