Yeah, but the Anthologies and Chronicles versions were ass.  The loading times on those are sooooooooooooooo incredibly long.  Bringing up the menu takes seconds (which is significant) and moving from screen to screen is just painful because of the loading times.  Those are easily the worst versions of FFIV, FFVI, and Chrono Trigger.

Anyways, for me, and no surprise here, is the SNES era.  The NES era is when it was growing its roots, the PS1 era was when it was really branching out and made some pretty cool leaps in every direction, and the PS2 era was when it lost any sort of soul.  The SNES era though, that's just when it had the best games.  FFV may be a throwaway and FFIV hasn't aged well at all, but FFVI is a masterpiece.

This is a tough one but its definitively between snes and ps1, as ps2 final fantasys were good games but far from epic as the old ones. I pick snes but not by a huge margin. And yes the ps1 had those games also but I dont really think it counts.



@twestern  what version did you play never had a problem with.... you know what never mind I just remembered how my FF5 file got corrupted and I was never able to finish the game. I was half way done too. Yeah those versions were kinda weak, but it was either that or emulation, i wasnt paying those obscene used game prices



SNES era. FFVI is the greatest one of them all for me.

The Ps1 ones for me, then the ps2 ones(mostly because I really enjoyed XII), then Snes(FFVI is one I really enjoyed). But close for all except the NES ones in which I dont really like any game.

When people say SNES i only hear of FF6, when people say PS2 i only hear of FFX, but when people hear of PS1 you hear of FF7,8 and 9.

..im going with PS1 era.



PS2 Era. Minus FFXII.



Everyone needs to play Lost Odyssey! Any opposition to this and I will have to just say, "If it's a fight you want, you got it!"

What no ps3/360 era lol, yeah I don't think it'd get any votes either, I voted for ps1 but I only played one in the snes era and I liked it so who knows if I gave them all a chance 



PS1 era, it featured the best games in series (VII and IX) in my opinion.



Where is the ps3 era gosh.
