Thread: The Greatest Final Fantasy

Well to be honest, i find VIII the greatest of them all. It felt more matured, more realistic and had the best music. On terms of story i think VIII had more depht then the others. Especcialy the rivalry between Squall and Seifer was even more interesting then between Cloud and Sephiroth.

When i played the game, it almost felt like i was a soldier (Squall) and needed to grow stronger and rank up (SeeD level). Those buttons combination during Limits Break was enjoyable and even hard to do. Also i think they worked out those summoned creatures (GF) the best in VIII.

The card game in VIII was really entertaining unlike IX, you could win cards and trade them for items. Searching the whole world for the right cards and it didn't even got me bored to be fair.

To be short VIII is the greatest FF of them all, but it isn't my favourite FF game to play.

VII

As for the battles themselves, FF7 doesn't really have anything special over the others, but definitely isn't lacking either.

exactly.


there's no beating that.
and maybe IX ... but honestly. VII.

I haven't played FF7 yet to say it's the best, so but I was impressed with what I saw.

personally, i have a very close tie with FF6 and FF7. The depth that was given to the characters in both games was trully amazing, and it got to the point where u cared about them, even the bad guys (Kefka & Sephiroth). And the stories behind each one was nearly perfect. But I have to say that FF6 edges out FF7 cause of the way the characters could learn every single magic yet still remain really unique with almost nothing in common with the other ones.

Final fantasy 4.

Final Fantasy 8 had better character designs, but no one can beat the story of 7.

My pic for greatest Final Fantasy game was the black sheep of the series, Final Fantasy Tactics. It wasn't really as popular as the other games since it was definately a lot more different than the typical Final Fantasy title. Instead of the traditional turn-based or real-time battle systems, Tactics featured Turn-Based Strategy that still can't be touched to this very day.

One thing that I loved about the gameplay engine of Tactics was that it was very easy to pick up and engaging enough to keep you amused till the end of the game. The job system is still the best to date and it beats out Final Fantasy Tactics Advances' (and most others) by a mile.
