My Order:

Final Fantasy X - Loved the story, characters, sphere grid.
Final Fantasy VII - Loved the materia system and the story.
Final Fantasy VIII - Loved the characters and the broken battle system. (8 = 6)
Final Fantasy VI - Loved the story and characters.
Final Fantasy IX - Liked everything. Was more like VI and V.
Final Fantasy V - Don't remember it that well but I remember liking it.
Final Fantasy - It has obviously dated but I liked the class choice thing that is with the early FF games.

Now we have a bit of a gulf...

Final Fantasy XIII - Was just a bit boring. I find it difficult to find points where it excelled.
Final Fantasy X-2 - Probably only this far down becuase of it's name sake. That and I probably wasn't the game's audience.
Final Fantasy XII - Yeah, this game just wasn't great. I know lots of people liked it. I was not one of them.

I really don't believe Square Enix has made a fantastic numbered FF. Have not played II, III and IV. I only did the numbered games feel free to do others

Just counting the main series, mine would be:

Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy IX
Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy III
Final Fantasy VIII

Final Fantasy V
Final Fantasy I
Final Fantasy II

Final Fantasy XIII
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy XII
Final Fantasy XI

Since IX the series has really gone downhill imo; FFXI was an MMO; FFXII was too open ended; FF X and XIII just didn't possess any of the charm of the first 9 in the series. Still love all 13 though.

How could you not love X?!? Insanity

Got to ask. You named after Lavos from Chrono Trigger?

What else? (Playing through it for the second time (DS version) and I'd totally forgotten just how incredible it actually was)

X's a weird one for me. A lot of people view it as one of if not the best in the entire series (FF VII and VI being the only others to really get more recognition) but something about it didn't click for me. Think it was the characters. Though I will say that it was still a very strong game, with a complex and very emotional story and a real "wow" moment in the middle (the revelation that Tidus wasn't actually real but just a memory from the past), with some of the best music in the series. Still though...

I played it through again on my SNES a few weeks ago, I've not played the DS version although I will probably buy it, certainly a fantastic game.

To give X such high praise and then rank it so low shows that your must really hold the series in high regard. I can see why people may not like it as much as others, it is certainly very different but I enjoyed it thoroughly, Choosing between FF games is always going to come down to preference though, they are all different but are all good games in their own right.

I have to say though I did love the character customisation you got with thr expert sphere grid. (which I'm not sure the US version had.)

That was probably what gave X the edge in my list.

Final Fantasy Tactics - King

#1 FF7 - I hate to admit but FF7 was the first FF game I played and the first RPG as well. The influence the game's story, gameplay and production value of this game spoiled me for the rest of my life.

#2 FFX - This game was everything I hoped for and more. Tidus's annoying VA and attitude was a letdown, but the sacrifice he pulled off in the end made up for it. The story was great IMO

#3 FF8 - At the time it was released I was 17 and I could identity with all the problems the gang faced. The story was great until it went a bit dumb, but nothing game breaking for me. Squall, Laguna and Zell are some of my favorite video game chars. Quistis fetish FTW. Triple Triad was THE SHIT

#4 FF9 - Old school theme with the newer FF traits. This game is gold and all in all it has one of the most solid stories in the franchise.

#5 FF13 - Excellent gameplay, and I enjoyed how the characters interacted with each other. Yes this even includes Snow and his "SERAH" monologues every 15 minutes.

#6 FF6 - Never beat the game and I played it after playing FF7 but I could still enjoy the story, gameplay and music. Phenomenal game for its time. Wish I started with it.

The rest I didn't really play enough or I didn't care about them enough to list them *COUGHx-2COUGH-

The rest I didn't really play enough or I didn't care about them enough to list them *COUGHx-2COUGH- XIII > VI?,,, XIII,,,, great gameplay?

If was pretty much just pressing tapping X... Pressing L1 from time to time.

Did I forget to mention I never finished VI and played it after playing VII-which spoiled me- and never got to far. I think its a nice game but since I never enjoyed it fully I can't rate it higher than the rest because I lack the XP

XIII did have great gameplay. The whole Paradigm system made for some intense battles. Far more intense than previous FFs IMHO. Also if all you did was Auto-Battle shame on you.

And pressing X is all you ever do in any FF unless you're talking about choosing spells and attacks-which you CAN do in FFXIII if you ain't too busy letting the AI make poor choises for you.

Shame on me for using Auto battle? Why? It's there to be used. I used manual things from time to time (Like Army of One and specific heals) but it wasn't needed. Even if I used full manual gameplay still would be lacking. The battles move at such a pace and you have such little control (As you only control one character).

Yes shame on you because I say so. durw00t I prefer the hectic battle than the previous yawnfest the games offered.

You can slow the fight-speed if the pace is too fast for you. I actually like how FFXIII made mostly useless spells count this time around. Buffing and Debuffing in previous FF games wasn't really required and I always wondered why they were even there.

Did you try any of the final mission marks? Auto-Battle will get your annihilated if you try it.

Did you try any of the final mission marks? Auto-Battle will get your annihilated if you try it. I got through about 50% of the hunts and then packed it it because the game was boring me. The game lacked any kind of challenge compared to other FF games. I'm not talking about the optional stuff because I have no doubt that a lot of that is hard. but FFXIII's storyline offered no real challenge,.. There was no boss that you had to really prep for other then switiching classes, there is no real depth to character development customisation and development either. Which is something I really like in later FF games. Gameplay just wasn't really there, it was just sort of an interactive film.... That wouldn't end.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed playing it through but it was average in every way other than it's visuals.

You couldn't really prep because they didn't want you to prep/grind your way to completely obliterate Bosses. All they wanted you to do was learn the bosses weaknesses, his patterns when you're using certain jobs in order to switch accordingly etc.

I respect your opinion, dude, but do know I rank XIII higher because I spent enough time with it to know it. VI I didn't really get that far. Got to Shadow and that was it. Not because the game was bad, but because at the time I was playing it I was graduating from High School, making plans for College with my GF and playing newer games. I think I was obsessing over Perfect Dark back then.

VII, VIII, IX (tied - i find it difficult to think of them as separate games for some reason ) - first 3 i played, loved them
IV - its had kain and cecil, golbez, and the best parody fan script..nuff said
V - clash on the big bridge, best soundtrack in the whole series - again, nuff said
VI - .................kefka
I - great story, loved the whole time thing at the end, and after playing dissidia i really started to understand how messed up garland was
X - chick flick, but nonetheless a good game
II - final boss was cool, and so was the story - didnt really think much of the rest of the game though
III - boring
X-2 - painful
havent played the rest..

Well, go back and play it becaue I think you'll find it right up there with VII. It's much, much better than XIII

I hate sounding so negative towards XIII becasue I did enjoy it. It's just that it's a Final Fantasy game and I have come to expect something a little special from them. I guess the games visuals sort of filled that void but I've never been much of a graphics whore. Give me 16-bit anyday.

FF6- My favorite Final Fantasy. A lot of parts really stuck out me more than any of the other FFs. The music is great, boss sprites look wicked, and the main villain is a classic. The only problems I have are the overpowered Ultima, pathetic Esper attacks, and an easy final boss (easy even without Ultima).

FF5- The characters really aren't that special but at least the main villain is great. I loved the job system as it allowed to beat the game in so many ways making the experience different each time. The final boss is satisfying unlike FF6, FF7, and FFX.

FF4- Best storyline in the series. Expect betrayal, death, and plot twists in this game. I liked how challenging it was and how the characters developed. Plus, the final boss can kick your ass. Too bad the U.S. had to deal with the butchered "FF2" before the true version came out years later.

FFXII- Very underrated. Sure it takes time to get used to but you won't regret it once everything goes smoothly. It's nice to finally not have random encounters and have completely new summons (though most of them are in Tactics) instead having Ifrit, Shiva, and Bahamut over and over. The worlds are huge and the monster hunts are fun. This game, IMO, has the best final boss fight in the series. Though, I wish there was more character development and specific classes for each character (like that special edition that saw no release outside of Japan).

FFX- My first PS2 game and it proved to me that the PS2 kicked major ass. Finally, we can control Aeons like playable characters and weapons/armor can be upgraded in various ways. The storyline is engaging and the boss fights are good. I liked how the main villain was some destructive beast (like Lavos) instead of another magician. It was nice to switch characters when you wanted to and the level-up system is possibly the best in the series (which is why it kinda returned in FFXIII). I hated Yu Yevon was a joke of final fight. And why didn't the U.S. get the International version.

FF7- It's a great game but it's also overrated. I feel it has too many translation errors and it's hard to tell what's what from the graphics. I wasn't too fond of the magic system as it feels like a step down from FF6's magic system. Still, the game has so much to do with its sidequests and minigames; the characters are likeable (and overrated) and it introduced a pretty cool villain (also overrated). It should get a remake.

FFX2- This game made me want to get a PS2 since I was attracted to the use of dresspheres (it reminded me of FF5's job system). The game is decent but most of the game is sidequests. The main game is short and it gets too easy. Also, the characters either suck or got worse from FFX (Brother, especially). A real shame since I really like Paine's design. The music also feels out of place and the story really kills FFX's ending.

FF1- A lot better than the incredibly tedious and boring Dragon Warrior (how did that make it in so many top game lists?). I was surprised that you make your own team using 4 out of 6 characters (even though this game is old). Though, you do have to do some level-grinding here and there or fight random battles to gain enough money. I don't like how characters can't always aim the same enemy since their attacks will strike a killed enemy instead of the next one on the field. Also, it's a pain in the ass if a character dies. There are no Phoenix Downs and you have to go to town to bring someone back to life. Sure there's the white mage but revive spells come later and it only can be used a few times (there's limited times when MP can be filled up). Let's not forget about the bugged magic that don't even work right (or at all). It really sucks when have to pay a huge amount of money for the Saber spell and find out it does nothing. Still with all these flaws, FF was the start of a great series.

Mystic Quest - Shouldn't even be called a FF. It's incredibly easy, is boring, the characters are dumb, and the game doesn't feel FF at all. It had good music though (except for the overworld theme which is ****ing horrible).

I haven't played FF2, FF3, FF8, FF9, or FFXI so they're not included. I would put FFXIII on the list but I'm currently playing it.

FFVI - The first game that to me showed that truly powerful storytelling was possible in the video game medium. It wasn't the first FF game I played, but it was the first that I got into. The best music in the series, the best storytelling in the series, and still the most effective villain, I think. To this day I never felt such hatred for a character as I did for Kefka. I still play this game regularly, and I still consider it my favorite video game ever made.

FFVII - This finds itself in the strange spot of being grossly overrated but still excellent. It has its share of deep flaws, but it's still an engrossing game filled with spectacular moments. For me, this might be the most 'complete' FF game. There is just so much to do. Great mini games and sidequests, a very well realized world that you don't want to leave, characters that stay with you and a plotline that, while at times sloppy, is still powerful.

FFX - Tidus be damned, this is a powerful story in an excellent game. It took out a lot of the freedom but it made up for it by offering a very streamlined and polished experience. This game enjoyed a happy medium of world building and easy to grasp gameplay. It was impossible to get lost, but they still managed to make the world feel realized and lived in. Might have the best song in the history of Final Fantasy - People of the North Pole.

FFIX - I really liked this game back when I first played it, but it's dropped a bit since. I still like it quite a bit, mostly because of Vivi who is probably my favorite FF protagonist. The goofy style kinda hurt it, but I enjoyed the oldschool feel and the way each character had a defined role.

FFXIII - Still new, still need to reflect on this game a bit more and play it a few more times, but for now this is a solid action game. Yes, that's right. I've found that the game becomes better when you stop thinking of it as an RPG and approach like a more action oriented game. The combat is the best in the series and the graphics are breathtaking. And while the removal of town left a cataclysmic hole in the world itself, the game was still fun to play and had some memorable moments in storytelling terms.

FFVIII - Poor characters, sloppy and lazy storytelling, and a poor magic system hurt this immensely. But it starts out so strong that I can't hate it. It has probably the best mini game in the series in its card game, and the combat is fun outside of the poor draw system. I will actually probably play this one again soon. Strangely enough no matter how many times I play this game the whole story feels like something of a haze. I don't remember anything in particular about the story outside that it's silly and doesn't make sense. So you could make a flimsy argument that that somehow adds some replay value to it. Oh also, has a horrid main antagonist.

FFXII - I only played this once, but I remember very little about it. I don't remember the characters or much in the way of the storyline. I remember enjoying the world, towns and combat well enough, but it is not a good thing that I don't recall anything that happens in the story. So this goes at the bottom by default for being so unmemorable.

I've also played FFIV and V, but IV I played so long ago that I don't even want to bother ranking it, and V is more about the combat than anything.

If we're counting Tactics it would be up towards the top, it's an amazing game.

Tactics would undoubtedly be right near the top. It was phonominal, I really must play the GBA and DS ones.

EDIT: Wow. Your ranking is EXACTLY the same as mine. lolz

Not even worth a play?

I never really got too far in the GBA one, and haven't tried the DS one, but heard it was more of the same.

Yep. I bought GBA Tactics, and while it wasn't bad I couldn't force myself to finish it.

VII - Story was epically overrated, but I loved all of it.

IX - One of the first ones I've beaten, loved the story....it was epic. Zidane is probably one of my fav. characters just because of his tail. He's basically the FF universes version of a super saiyan He's probably one of my fav. characters because he isn't shy with his love interests like most FF characters are... lol, He grabed Garnet's ass in the beginning of the game when they left that town that was produceing Black mages.

IV - Cecil was a juggernaut, also one of my favs. cuz he starts off doing bad things....but has to grow an effing conscience and gets demoted. Golbez was pretty beast. story was one of my favs. too

VI - Keifka

XIII - Game was pretty good after you got through all the linear shit, and was able to explore, do side quests, pick your teams, and grind. Loved the story. The battle system was different, but I liked it. Only controlling one character was annoying, even more annoying that u lose if your character dies. lvl up system was pretty good, reminds me of the sphere grid though

VIII - I liked what I played from it, but sadly, I never finished. I played up to the 3rd disk and couldn't get past the Zombie boss on the other side of that bridge you have to take Rinoa across. I beat him, that wasn't the problem. It's just that every single time I killed him, the game froze.

X - Good game. Good story (kinda sappy though), good lvl up system, and great battle sytem. The only problem I had with this was Tidus. He's a beast towards the end, but his ignorance, and annoying personality just pissed me off.

XII - wasn't too much for it, but I beat it. It was okay, but the other games are better. The hardest boss on the game is just freaking crazy.... I'm still surprised I was able to kill it w/o the Zodiac Spear.

V - Didn't play that far into it, but from what I've played it's pretty good. I need to finish it, but I'm too lazy to play my GB these days.

I've played 1, 2, and have 3, but I'm too lazy right now to start 3, never played 2, but I have it, and I beat FF1 a LONG time ago if it was the same FF that came out for GB. Final Fantasy Adventure???( i think that was the name, im not sure, but I think Garland is the Final boss in it too, and I know you can get a dragon as a playable character.)I was like 5 or 6 when I got it so I don't remember much... my mom beat it before I did. If it isn't the same, then I've only put a few hours into the PS version.

Dissidia, Tactics, and Crisis Core were pretty fun too.

I liked Dirge of Cerberus, but it was too much like Devil May Cry for me. Didn't really have a FF game feel to it... well.... except for the story line.

Never played any of the crystal chronicles, so idk...... I'm pretty sure thats all of them except for the mmo's

FF7, 10, 9, 8, 4, 6. Haven't played the others.

I'd have to take some time to think about the whole list in a proper order, but I'll say that my most favorite is probably FFIX (which I also consider to be the last great FF). And no matter how much they milked the ranchise for more than any FF game could ever be worth, FFVII-for all the traits it's come to inherit from everything that's wrong with JRPG's as a compilation-is still a good game on its own; Two of my favorite FF characters are in the game (Red XIII-possibly my all time fave FF character--and Vincent), and I won't deny that the ending simply came off as too bittersweet to not have some kind of continuation (although like I said, it's since been milked to the point that it's just a dried up husk now). And while AC's quality depends on the fan (wore off on me since I first watched it), it did influence my choice for my name on this site.

So far, FFXIII is the worst of FFs I've played. People bitched about FFXII but that game entertained much more than FFXIII has. The only thing I like about this latest game is that the characters are more developed and that they seem to have those monster hunts from the previous games. It sucks that music is lacking and I'm not fond of the way weapons and accessories get upgraded. But I heard good things about Chapter 12 and I'm only on Chapter 11 so there might be hope left.

I would like to point out that upgrading weapons and accessories is really only useful after you beat the game, there is no reason to do it until then.

Not really.

You don't need them, they are pretty much their for after the game.

If you suck so much you need to upgrade your equipment before then that is not the game's fault.

Having something in the game that gets so much screen time (With every battle providing you with items for it as well as every chest.) that you don't have any real need or use for until after you've conpleted the game is a flaw. How many of your average gamers are going to continue after the credits have rolled?

Me.



Alot of people will do the missions after beating it.

A lot won't (me).

Because you're a bad person.

Strength/Magic stats the crystarium gives you is more than enough to beat the game. TBH I didn't upgrade until I beat the game to take on high-level marks, and even then I still beat them with 2nd tier weapons. Non-Upgrade weapons give you extended time for 5 *

One thing about Pulse is fact: you're going to get your ass kicked.

True. Damn those Behemoths, Juggernauts, and Phalanx robots.

The Adamantoise are supposed to be dicks.

3 - IX
4 - XII

Can't stand X or X2, and the older ones i just havent played at all or else in years.

XIII looks good, though.

There's a huge steam sale going on right now, and some of the FF titles are up. I ended up buying FFVI since I want to try to get more into the FF series. Outstanding so far. The only FF games I've ever played were VII and XIII (never beat this one, didn't pull me in for some reason). Kind of sad the X and X2 remasters aren't discounted at all. Neither are IX or VII. These were the ones I wanted to own the most. Any other recommendations?

Final Fantasy VI is such an amazing game. I only just played it for the very first time a few years ago and I think it's one of the greatest video games ever made.

FFVII is till my favorite, though.

Yeah, I'll need to replay VII then. I was young at the time so I don't remember it super well. Or maybe I'll wait for the remake (if they don't screw it up). I just found X/X-2 for 20 dollars, and XV is out in a few short months so I've got no shortage of FF games to play

VI isn't available on Steam.

Bullshit.

Dissidia is all I'll ever need. <3

When it comes to FF, only the premise and the gameplay matters, and Dissidia nailed them both.

To me, the story doesn't matter cause each one is different, so why not just play the game that combines them altogether?
