1. FF8
2. FF8 (For a while in 2007, FF12 just barely overtook FF8 but by now it's back to normal)
3. FF1-13, FF15, lots of the spinoff games and sequels. Nearly all of them with FF14 being a notable exception.
My first Final Fantasy is my favourite, mostly because I played the best one first. It was so good I had to go buy FF7 (the only other one released at the time in the UK) and from then on I bought them all as they released. I've enjoyed the whole series so far, but aside from briefly deciding FF12 was the best when it launched, FF8 remains my favourite game ever.
