I disagree with the list but I expect everyone to do so for the most part. Each new Final Fantasy game is all new for the most part and the changes are likely to get different reactions from the fans.

1. FFIV
2. FFVI
3. FFX
4. FFIX
5. FFV

The above games are my top five but as I've seen with each post we are all over the place.

My top 5 is similar.  Though I've never played 9.

4 vs 6 is tough for me.  I liked 6 more... however it feels like 4 was the better game objectivly.

FF4's theme of sin and repetence was much stronger held over all the characters then FF6's theme of living on in the face of trouble. 

There was some problems with Espers being too important making some of the characters pointless since their skills couldn't hold up and you could use Espers to manipulate stats freely, making them pointless except to level up for the couple times you need more then 4 people.

While FF4, everyone had a very set role and mostly were all useful.  Except Edward... never figured out what he was good for.

Edward helped with that troll in the magnetized cave. twin harps right

Yeah, but it's sad that the only time someone is helpful is when he's not in your party.  Even when you first get him it might just be better to have an empty space!

The reason is right there in front of you "you spoony bard"
