Final Fantasy has been my favourite video game series for around 20 years now. Final Fantasy IX is my all-time favourite game in general, and I've played every single mainline game in the series at least once, with the exception of FFII (my save file was corrupted near the end of the game, and I've never gotten around to replaying it), FFXI and FF XIV. I've also played through a lot of the spin-offs and sequels, including games like Dirge of Cerberus, Crisis Core, World of Final Fantasy and Mystic Quest.
Generally speaking, I like every one of the FF games I've played, at least to some extent. I can't claim that they are all genuinely great, or even good games, but I have a soft spot for most of them. Even at their worst, they always have some elements that are genuinely excellent, like the music, or the battle system.
I'm very much looking forward to FF XVI. I thought XV was very good, and a nice return to form after XIII was such a disjointed mess, if not quite on the level of the best games in the series, and the FFVII Remake was genuinely great, and considering that the team working on XVI consists largely of the people who've made XIV such a hugely successful and beloved game since its disastrous initial release, I'm quite optimistic for XVI at the moment.
