Top 10 Final Fantasy Games

XII isn't on this list. It is a good list.

VI needs to be higher, though. As in, at the top.

01. Final Fantasy VI
02. Final Fantasy
03. Final Fantasy X
04. Final Fantasy IX
05. Final Fantasy IV
06. Final Fantasy V
07. Final Fantasy VII
08. Final Fantasy VIII
09. Final Fantasy X-2
10. Final Fantasy XII

1. VI
2. IIIj
3. VII
4. V
5. IV
6. XII
7. IX
8. I
9. X
10. VIII

Never played X-2 and IIj is IIbad to be on the list. Haven't finished XII yet. It might move up a space when it's all said and done, but probably not. It's not a bad game, but I hate the new-age RPG trend where so many of them make virtually all the difficult (ie: fun) stuff "optional". And it seems every fun, challenging battle here is an optional mark or esper.

It's not a bad game,

Yes it is.

I haven't gotten around to FFXII yet, but some of the things I've heard are not comforting. Then again, from FF8 onwards (and possibly earlier but I wasn't paying attention yet at that time), the newest Final Fantasy is always the one that seems to catch the most flak, and a lot of it dissipates and opinions soften as a new target arises.

Although it wasn't my first RPG by a long shot, Final Fantasy 7 *was* my first brush with the series. A favorite is hard to call as I haven't played the series all that much. I've tried most of them and finished about half, but in most cases, only once and with a minimal amount of sidequesting. For an RPG fanatic I tend to skip a lot of what these games have to offer; always looking to play a new one and I just can't find the time to exhaust any of them.

I can't believe none of these lists have Final Fantasy Adventure (even if it really isn't Final Fantasy proper).

1. Final Fantasy IV
2. Final Fantasy VI
3. Final Fantasy X
4. Final Fantasy V
5. Final Fantasy IX
6. Final Fantasy I

All the others I either haven't played or are too crappy to be mentioned on a "best of" list.

Felix

Well, I hadn't thought of Mystic Quest, but if I'd planned to include it, it'd be right there with FF IIj in the "this game sucks too bad to be in a Top 10 list of FF games" category. Brain-dead coma patients have gone on the record complaining about how that game's too simplistic....

You mean Genjuro, OD-san.

Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest is a great game. I didn't include it on the list because it's not a proper entry in the series. Neither is Final Fantasy Tactics or Final Fantasy Adventure or Final Fantasy Legend or Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles and so forth.

My bad Felix....all those games that are FF in name only blend together. For the quick recap...

FF Adventure: The first Mana game.
FF Legend: The first three Saga games.
FF Tactics: Turn-based strategy game with FF stuff in it.
FF Mystic Quest: Steaming pile of poo imitating RPG. Don't listen to Venter (or anyone else who says it's good). This is an RPG minus anything resembling a challenge. I guess if you ever got killed in one and thought, "man, these games aren't for me", this game might be for you, but that's it.
FF Magical XXX Porn Journey: Only exists in my mind....currently.
