I've only played X, VI and VII and my favorite is X, I'd like to play XII because the open world aspect really interests me, I only played the demo that came with Dragon Quest VIII and the battle system hooked me, though I don't know if it's the same in the final version.

FF9 in 1st place?

We can stay friends forever.

I first wanted to put FFXIII in first place just to piss people off but I decided for honesty.

And you can't really do any better than FF9.

I'm hoping for more FF every year but there isn't :(

Just wanted to say that I love these threads. I really like FF too though I haven't played most FF games, so this is actually quite helpful.

FFIX is a great choice to be #1.

You should definitely try out some Shin Megami Tensei and Fire Emblem games. Personally, I enjoy those games more than FF.

I respected your list until Final Fantasy 13 showed up.

Some opinions are objectively wrong.

I think I'm too old to try out older games now. I really wanted to play the latest Fire Emblem but Nintendo decided to not release it to an actual console.

I'd be playing a lot more JRPGs if Nintendo SE wouldn't hold them hostage on greatly inferior platforms.

greatness is in  the eye of the beholder.
