I'll throw in my vote towards Final Fantasy IX. I loved its homage towards the earlier final fantasies, every character had its job class and stayed there.
Vivi; Black mage, Zidane; Thief, Steiner; Knight and so forth and so forth. Plus untold homages towards the other final fantasy's. Including 7.
I liked 9's characters better than 7. Give me Quita over Cait Sith any day. The story made more sense to me, and isn't getting more confusing as the years go by. Graphics and gameplay were alot of fun, and the characters felt more like final fantasy. Staying with their job classes, Zidane being a thief, vivi a black mage, steiner a knight and so forth and so on.
If ya want a list of my preferred final fantasy's... its as follows.
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy V
Final Fantasy IX
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy XII
Why must JRPG female leads suck so bad?
