You don't understand what i'm trying to say. FFVI started everything that were used later in the Playstation games. To keep it fair, you can have FFV and FFVI have it's own thread tomorrow in the same day. I'm not trying to be pretentious, i'm just trying to keep things fair for FF6 fans since it ws originally released in the west and i'm sure all of us have played FFVI if they played FFVII.

This argument is kind of ridiculous.  Does it really matter if VI has its own thread or not?  So far a game has either been paired up with one originally released only in Japan or by itself... he isn't breaking his current procedure by not having VI by itself, and by combining games together it makes less clutter and less threads to sift through.  In fact, he should have probably combined VII and VIII into one thread too, but oh well to that.

I give FF4 a 9.9. I take away 0.1 to leave room for improvement, but that 10 is waiting for another game.

Solid consistent narrative. Every character's struggle is closely related and they all support that narrative. There's no wacky sidekick who isn't related to anything. Every single character is on their own quest for redemption, ready to sacrifice anything for their family/friends/town/planet/whatever. Great way to use the game's own magic system as a plot device (converting health points to magic points to cast Meteo: brilliant). They used the medium's unique features to support the narrative, and that's exactly what I'm looking for in gaming. Great stuff.

Nothing is better than an eloquent restatement of one's own feelings. Thanks Rubang!

FF III- 8.5

FF IV- 9.5

FF III - 6/10 kinda boring game.

FF IV - 9/10 one of the best in the series.

finally a ff shodown I can enter

3: I give it a 7, I played the ds remake
4: I'll give it an 8.4, again ds only

FF3- 6/10. It was better than FF1 to me, but still overall a boring game. But the system was mildly okay, so it gets a 6

Ahhhh FF4, I have many fond memories from this game. I've beaten it about 10 or so times now. It is also the first RPG I ever played. The first time I was playing it, once I got to Asura, My family and I went to a family friend's house to meet a kid they adopted. His name is James, his parents had just died, and his Aunt and Uncle adopted him. I went over there, and it turned out, he was playing FF4!! Not only that, he was at the Asura fight when we got there! We figured out how to beat the boss, and we were so happy, then Leviathon schooled us and we were sad (we didn't know it would be a double fight!). I have a horrible memory, but to this day I still remember that.

About the game itself, great characters (even butthead Kain (really, his head looks like a butt if you walk up with him)), great story, great scenes, everything about the game was awesome to me (and still is). My second favorite FF, and still one of my favorite RPGs ever, I give FF4 a 9.5/10

FFIV: 8.9 - only annoying thing is the difficulty (at times).

Although I own FFIII I've only just started so I'll refrain from voting. The job system seems cool though.

Final Fantasy III -- 8.3

Final Fantasy IV -- 9.3
