Which of these 24 releases is your favourite? Mine is the eighth, as it is my favourite game of all time.

To say that anything other than Final Fantasy VI is a crime (not that FFIV isn't masterliness as well). My third favorite game after Earthbound and Chrono Trigger. And Kefka is indeed the greatest villain of all time.

I've only played I (on an emulator and not all the way through), VII, VIII, X and X-2. Out of those VII is easily my favourite. Probably my favourite game ever, actually.

Only FF I've ever, kind of, liked was 10.
My brother is only slightly more of a fan and he liked 7 a lot.

all of them are pretty good, haven't played 13, and XII got way too much crap despite being an awesome game

I'll go with VII, that game really changed my life BIG TIME! I was eight years old when I first went it through, I'm at the ending at the moment for 22th time to beat the game (yeah I counted, call me nerd!  )! IX is right after that probably X, VI, VIII, XII, XIII, V, IV. I haven't played I, II or III so I can't add them to this list. Nice to see that there's FF fans here, probably because of Nobuo Uematsu's soundtracks  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEO0oYTOtfU&feature=related

VI and VII are magnificent and IX very entertaining as well. Haven't played any others very far though. Voted for VI.

Uematsu is indeed an underrated musical genius. He composes each song with care, and there is almost never a dull track in any FF games. Not to discredit the excellent gameplay and story, but his soundtracks really make the FF games in my opinion.

IX for me. And I completely agree about Uematsu making the games what they were. The soundtracks really influenced me in terms of music, and they are definitely the reason why the games are so memorable.

VI. No Question. The steampunk/post apocalyptic world mixed with magic was the world that FF always needed. not to mention the best story, most lovable characters and best magic/equipment system for a turn based game. Runner up has to be Grimoire of the Rift. On my second run through it as we speak

Hey, that's cheating!  
I too prefer Chrono Trigger to any FF game, but not by much. A game that's pretty much flawless in every aspect.

Secret of Mana
(Okay, not as good as any of the games mentioned, but still a forgotten classic.)
