I actually like FF8 alot but then again I'm a sucker for love stories.

My favorites are:

1: FF6
2: FF9
3: FF7
4: FF8
5: FF10

I wont even put FF 12 in the top 12

 

Still none of these games comes even too how great Xenogears was(still is), that game had the greatest love story ever created.

I hope you actually played FFXII for way way more than 5 minutes

 

yes I did I barely managed to play through once, the story sucked and I didnt even care what happened to the main characters.

FF12 is one of the most over hyped games ever.

 

I really hope FF13 dont turn to be like FF12

what was wrong with the story?  I only played the game for 20+ hours but so far I think the story is a good change of pace from previous installments
