Lost Odyssey is easily better and as far as FF games go IV, VI, VII and IX are better then X.

Gave up on FF, haven't played it. IX was the last I played till recently when I played XIII-1 and the first MMO...
Neither of these were reasons to get back into FF and there seems to be even less of a reason with how FFXV looks.

Almost any Final Fantasy before X takes the cake... Is this thread legitimate?

You have to correct that! It is the best in the series, but even if you don't find it to be THE best, it is definitely one of the best. Plus it has aged very well. The sprites are top of the line and beautiful (think Chrono Trigger level of visuals and sound.) The story is just as good as the PS1 games that built on top of it (VI was the first truly cinematic FF.) The world is fun to explore and the steampunk atmosphere is a good complement to VII's cyberpunk. The best part of the game was the characters. Except for about three or four of them they are all really developed, relatable, and interesting (with no suspension of disbelief that the more recent titles had going for them.) Kefka is an awesome villian who is evil for the sole reason of being a power-hungry psychopath who wants to destroy the world, and Terra and Celes are great protagonists (I consider them the two main protagonists of the game, even though there really isn't an official one.) 

Yep Lost Odyssey was such a gem. It was what 6th and/or 7th generation Final Fantasy should've been. It's a shame only 360 owners got to experience it, as I think we'd have Lost Odyssey 2 otherwise.

Well, if you can play it some time, I would recommend it. I think it's a pretty good RPG. : )

yeah. for me XIII is better than X.  someone also posted his preference.  why did you asked?

Honestly ones of the worst in the FF series for me as it reminds me so much of 13. Characters are dumb story is worse. I would put Lunar DS over it. Seriously. IMO

There are good RPG's and there are bad RPG's. As such, it is dependant on ones tastes. For the OP, Final Fantasy X is the best. Others have opinions. For me? I still need to play Xenoblade Chronicles to give you my final answer.

I Love final fantasy ix, 10x better than x.
