| RazorDragon said: IV is the best, storyline is simply superb on that one as well as gameplay. V and VI are very close, though. Every SNES FF is a masterpiece on its own right. |
The first FF1 and the SNES sequels added to almost every core gameplay element Square has used for quite sometime. FF's on the PS1 were stale imho, but the 3D graphics wowed legions of mainstream gamers who never played the NES/SNES titles and created a new rabid fanbase. FFXIII was a breath of fresh air imho, any game developer can play it safe like in FF9 and rely on the tried and true formula, but they didn't for FFXIII they mixed it up the most and put a huge amount of creativity into it which I liked. Internet reviews are rigged anyways.
FF Tactics to me felt like playing FF5 and Shining Force if they had a baby, it was a hybrid of the two games and it bored me dearly honestly. Some people love that game and I doubt they played FF5/SF before it. So I get that games popularity in that most SNES owners back in the day hated Sega so they wouldn't have played the SF series and FF5 never saw a US release until late into the PS1's life cycle, after FFT was out.
