What are your favorite Final Fantasy games?

OTHER THAN VII.

I decided that I haven't played enough Final Fantasy, and I want to beat some of the best ones before Dissidia comes out. So far, I've beaten

-FF IV
-FF VII
-FF VIII
-FF X
-FF X-2

Am I missing any "gems"? I know FF IX is supposed to be really good, so I'm downloading it so I can play it on my PSP. What are your faves?

Kefka destroyed the world for a laugh, in which he succeeded in doing. Sephiroth did it to impress his mommy, but he failed after getting stopped by dead people. Sephiroth's final form is just a bad clone of Kefka's, Sephiroth's motivation is his mommy and revenge, the latter being a cliche.

Sephiroth is just a cheap, recycled failure of Kefka. Driven insane by an experiment? Check. Went rogue against the side he first belonged to? Check. Used some magic rocks that helped out in his plan of world destruction? Check. Wanted to destroy the world and become a god? Check! Except Kefka actually did the last one. Sephiroth...not so much.

I like you. Let's be friends. :-P
 
X is my fave FF game and 2nd fave game of all time behind Zelda OOT.

VII I think the ppl that call this game overated are overated themselves. It was really good for its time and still is today although I got to disk 2 on my PSP and haven't played in several weeks...

VIII is the first FF game I played. When I was about 9 or 10 I just went to a 2nd hand shop saw FFVIII and thought hmmm wonder what this is like. Tried it and loved it.

FFCC RoF and FFIV on the DS come joint place to me as I loved them both as much as the other.

These are the only FF games I've played.
 
Thanks a lot for all the replies guys. I'm going through FFIX right now and I'm falling in love with it! (Still on Disc 1 though)

I really wanna play through V, VI, and Tactics... however, do you guys recommend I play the PSX versions for V and VI, or the GBA versions? And for Tactics, should I play the PSX version or "War of the Lions"? (PSP version)
 
From the "main" series, Final Fantasy V by far. From the spin-offs and related titles, FFTA. I never got to play FFTA2 much.

FFT for PSX and PSP are exactly the same I believe. Except, PSP has 1 new job from what I've heard. You can also play against someone local wireless. I've always wished for that option since the PSX era. But I gotta be honest. I hate the FFTA series. I regret buying the DS version 'cause I won't play it even if I paid for it. The experience is just too different.

So, I HIGHLY recommend FFT (not fftA; gba+ds series). The story is incredible. Involves a lot of betrayal and stuff. But just gotta let you know. It becomes extremely easy near the end IF you choose to play with the strong characters. If not, you can give yourself quite a challenge. I remember there was a boss battle that took my weeks to beat without a strategy guide in mid game.

Do NOT watch the video though if you do not want to be spoiled on how to beat him. I beat him purely on skills but it involved a LOT of fidgiting and thinking. I went through weeks of trial and error. But man, it was sooooo satisfying after I came up with such a strategy to beat him. (mine strategy totally different from the video anyways)

FFVIII was pretty much my all time favourite.

Kingdom hearts is pretty much a Final Fantasy spin off and is a great game too....

and, Chrono Trigger may as well be a final fantasy game.... (plays the same style, made by the same people.... hmm.....)

just trying to broaden your RPG horizons :) (apologies if you already know about these games)
 
in order of best one imo
Final fantasy 8
Final fantasy 10
Final fantasy 10 part 2 (for it's gameplay , not the story, the gameplay is similar to final fantasy 4's job system)
Final fantasy 9
Final fantasy 12
Final fantasy 4 (ds remake)
Final fantasy 3 (ds remake)

FF7 is hyped up too much imo.
 
Final Fantasy VIII[Personally it is still my favorite, even though I can't get past disc 1, when I played it on an actual PSX, we had no memory card :(]

Final Fantasy I[GBA remake I & II were really fun, even though I'm stuck in FFII]

I haven't played many FF games though, or I can't complete most of them.
