Alright, alright. Sorry. In the poll I pt up this afternoon I made the erroneous assumption that everyone loved FF7 best. I was immediately told that I was wrong and stupid to think so. And so, if you have tolerance for another poll, do tell: what is the BEST FF game?


Poll fix0red. ~Dalton

Six. No contest.

The Second American one, I think that's five...

It's FF IV actually.

And I vote FF VIII. I know it's hated by most, but VIII fucking rocked and I'm not the only one on this board that thinks so.

Today I say FF8, though with the pol you should have added FF1, FF2, FF3 and FF X-2.

Definitely FF8.

Is a subject of much internal strife.

Although, and I will probably be lambasted, sued, an hunted down for this, I really enjoyed FFX-2. In fact, it was good enough to revitalise my interest in a series I hadn't dreamed of picking back up in six months or so. It has the best balanced ATB system (ie just hectic enough to disguise the fact that it is actually turn based, and actualy trying to hark back to FFI concepts like ineffective attacks/abilities against newly dead monsters), disguises the linear nature of the form quite well, and makes Yuna attractive (which, frankly, was a job and a half).

Plus it's as close to a fusion of Charlie's Angels and FF as you're ever going to see.

The Original that 8-bit theater is using

Eight was my favorite of those listed. I thought the general design of the characters and world was the most interesting, and it had a relatively good battle system as well. FFXI is my favorite of them all, though...

yeah, I didnt include XI because of its MMO nature. And sorry if X-2 didnt show up. I meant to put that in, but it didn't come through. If you liked X-2, dont vote, just post!

Accually I think 8BT uses more sprites from FF3 than 1, but the main six are from 1 so.


On topic: FF6 and any one that disagrees has to answer to my Aura Bolt.

GO SABIN!

This has been done before. FF8 is far and away my favorite.

VI.

Kefka. Laugh. 'Nuff Said.

There are also many other rbight points, but really, that's all you need.

Although I love FFX's dark, brooding and apocalyptic style, Tidus is too much of a whiny bitch. I vote FF6, which had the same dark, brooding style but without annoying voice actors. Plus, it had Cyan and Sabin, who are simply fucking badass (Although Auron is way up there in the badass department).

I have copies of FF 7, 8 and 9 but haven't played much of 7 and none of 8 or 9 (TA, GR!).

Though it's been ages since I last played it, FF6 remains my favourite among Final Fantasy games, though I actually prefer Chrono Trigger above them all.

And in this poll, unlike the last time I saw the same thing at GameFaqs, I almost but didn't actually vote for FF7 by accident. Damned Roman Numerals!

VII.

Sephiroth, first fictional character that actually made me want to see him die.

VI. Most effective villian... Ever. At least in my eyes.

Whats the point? It would be a waste of a vote!

Vi no contest whatsoever. Fromt he storyline to the music it is by far the best FF game. VIII would be my next choice because of the character designs.

rather torn between VI and IV. while i enjoyed 7, its story just wasn't as good, and the ending rather left me unfulfilled. of course none of these can top chrono trigger.

What? No Mystic Quest?

bah. mystic quest wasn't a real final fantasy game. it was a bastardized RPG that just had the FF tag slapped onto it.

I've watched my sister play FF:MQ. It was designed for eight-year-olds. Man, that game was an insult to our intelligence

i recall reading in various gaming magazines it was purposely dumbed down for american audiences. they felt us gaijin just wouldn't get the concept behind the series.

I heard that in Japan it was called FF: American Version or something.
