Final Fantasy VIII: 7/5 (a lot of great characters and a beautiful story!)
Final Fantasy IX:4/5 (very good game, underrated)
Final Fantasy X:4/5(maybe too much linear, but with the best development system ever in a FF, the Sphere Grid)
Final Fantasy X-2:1/5(I hate this, how to ruin a good game doing a horrible sequel)
Final Fantasy XII:2/5(Probably the plot was good, but it hadn't picked up me...and we all know that in a RPG the story (and the characters!) are the most important thing, so i don't like it)



to sum everything up, I give all the Final Fantasys a 5 out of 5. All the Final Fantasy games are amazingly awesome.

Final Fantasy: 2/5 stars
A solid NES RPG but it's really just a DQ clone and there isn't much plot to speak of.

Final Fantasy II:
3/5 stars
Added some story and better gameplay but still nothing special.

Final Fantasy III: 3/5 stars
Improvements over FFII but not enough to really change the score, tougher though.

Final Fantasy IV: 4.5/5 stars
The start of what FF really is, one of the best plot lines of any RPG, great cast, great combat upgrades.

Final Fantasy V: 3.5/5 stars
The story wasn't up to the standard FFIV set but the job system was pretty amazing.

Final Fantasy VI: 5/5 stars
The best game in the series, great plot, great cast, great everything, the perfect RPG experience.

Final Fantasy VII: 4.5/5 stars
Great in so many ways, the plot was mature but sloppy at times, combat was a step up, great cast.

Final Fantasy VIII: 4.75/5 stars
Great plot, great cast, best character development mechanics from any FF (junction system), really underated.

Final Fantasy IX: 4.25/5 stars
The plot was a step down from VI-VIII but still good, cast was great, development mechanics were good, great atmosphere.

Final Fantasy X: 2/5 stars
Beautiful game with good combat but awful plot, awful cast of characters and way way to linear.

Final Fantasy XI:
1/5 stars
Not Final Fantasy.

Final Fantasy XII: 3.25/5 stars
An improvement over X but the plot and cast are equally weak.


The plot and characters were great in Final Fantasy XII, it was filled with political intrigue instead of a angsty and cliche save the world plot. The characters actually had character and not 1 dimensional anime stereo-types.

Shame the actual storytelling was so poorly executed compared to other Final Fantasy games. The 'story' was there, the 'telling' was practically missing.

FF7-4/5
FFX-5/5
FFXll-4/5
FFXlll-5/5 atm havent finished



FFVI 4.8/5 AMAZING

FFVII 5/5 My personal favorite (don't kill me)

FFVIII 4.8/5 underated

FFIX 5/5 A close second

FFX 4.5/5 (no ATB=blah, but still good)

FFXIII 4/5 (way too difficult, the battles also last FOREVER!)



I-III: I really don't know as I haven't played them enough tbh.

IV & V:4- Don't remember enough about these 2 but I know enjoyed them... Need to get a DS to play the remake of IV.
VI: 5- Really enjoyed this one. Having so many different characters with there own story rather than a single main character... it just worked.

VII: 5- My personal fave. Just loved the cyberpunk feel and the first 4 hours just sucked me in.
VIII: 4.5- Good but Squall was sooo annoying and once you figured out the Junction system it just became too easy.
IX: 3.5- Some good bits but marred with a general lack of ideas. Just felt a bit 'been here, done that'.

X: 4- Good. The lack of world map was a bit weird at first but I still enjoyed it thoroughly. Didn't like the Sphere grid either.
X-2: 1- I hated it... it annoyed me... a lot.
XI- Don't play MMOs
XII: 3- Loved the battle system and gameplay. Story could have been interesting, but was so poorly told. That really drops the score for me.

XIII: So far a 3.5... maybe a 4- Up to Chapt. 12. I'm enjoying the gameplay and battle system. The story telling is good and the way the characters are all mixed was well done. However, the characters (Snow- the pedo, Vanille- the Rikku clone made narrator and Hope- the wise 5 yr old) are really annoying. It's also a way too linear and in a really obvious way; the lack of towns is really off putting. I really want a chance to explore a town and discover side-quests rather than just be told "these are what the side-quests are, now go do them".



It's good to the see that most of the people here in this topic has played more than five FFs

I HATE when I see someone bashing some especific FF (especially 7, 8 and 10) and has only played 2 FFs and finished none.

By the way, good topic.
