FInal Fantasy VIII

It used to a close call between FFVII, FFVIII, FFXI and FFXII, with FFVIII seeming to just edge out the others, but as time goes on it becomes more clear that FFVIII is not only my favourite FF game, but maybe my favourite game of all time. I really like the characters, the story, the world and the gameplay. I love the battle system, the junction system and Triple Triad is probably my favourite mini game ever, I even have some real Triple Triad cards and have played a few games in real life. I also got a PocketStation just for this game. The music is possibly the best in the series (though most of the games have amazing soundtracks). On an old crt those pre-rendered backgrounds are incredible (true for all three PS1 FF games, though FFIX was a touch more advanced and the pinnacle of pre rendered FF games). My one gripe is that almost the whole game gets closed off on disc 4, if it had a NG+ or just the whole game on the last disc, it'd be perfect. I almost want a remake, but I'm worried that they'd change the game too much. It's a shame it's not going to be on the Switch, but I don't really like the port of FFIX they have on there so I'd probably just stick with my Vita and the original game.

I like the whole series though. If I were to list them, it'd be

1. FFVIII

These next three might shift around a bit but they always occupy places 2-4
2. FFXII
3. FFXI
4. FFVII

Place 5 is FFX without a doubt
5. FFX

These three may shift places among each other, they're all very close
6. FFVI
7. FFV
8. FFIX

FFXV feels a bit new to place properly, but at the moment these three are fixed here.
9. FFII
10. FFXV
11. FFIII

These two are basically tied.
12. FFIV
13. FFXIII

The first is the worst, but still a good game.
14. FF

I haven't played more than a few hours of FFXIV so I can't place that anywhere.

I think both were believable enough, I do sort of think that Squall and Rinoa might stay together longer. But maybe all of them are just horny teenagers and since everyone is so attractive in Final Fantasy, maybe they all just think they love each other. 

I can't believe that this is Snoopy's thread.

Tactics Advance. For real.

For me is IX. It is sad that we haven't had a good FF since X.

The whole *spoiler alert* GF thing hampering memories*Spoiler over* made FFVIII's plot pointless to me. Also I cried at the end of X....didn't shed a tear for Squall and Rinoa in the one space scene.

And we will never get a good one again...Sakaguchi leaving took away the spirit of the series. I seriously fear for the VII's remake.

8 best of the series for me.

Not a lot of love for XII for some reason. Having just platinumed it I do not understand why people hold it in lower regard than VII, X, VII, and IX. In fact, I just went through and replayed VII, X, and XII on PS4, getting platinum on all three games, so they're all fresh in my mind and all outstanding.

My ranking is as follows:

1 - VI - Not only my favorite FF game, but favorite game of all time. Flawless aside from some glitches.

2-4 - VII, X, XII - All three hold a tie for me, each with one flaw. VII is the shit graphics, X is the lack of exploration/world map (it's a big deal), and XII's story isn't the best.

5-6 - VIII, IX - Love both of these, too. VIII was a bit too melodramatic for me and he combat system was too easy to manipulate. IX seemed simple and had boring characters.

7-8 - IV, V - I only just played these two for the first time a few years ago but fell in love with them both. Wonderful stories and characters, but very simple gameplay

9 - I - Simple but it's a true classic. Still engaging to this day.

10 - XV - Had some real problems with the story in the second half as well as some problems with the battle system being simplistic, but I still really enjoyed 80% of this.

11-12 - II, III - Never finished them. Didn't hold my attention. Not bad, just meh.

13 - XIII - Not only the lowest on this list but my single most hated game of all time. I can rant for days about the failure of this game, and I have. I just think it's not only a bad game but an insult to the concept of games and a black mark on this franchise; I hate it more every time someone ranks it anything more than last place. I do not understand how anyone can enjoy this dumpster fire of a game while bashing the outstanding XII.

Having just gone back and replayed VII, X, and XII to completion onPS4, I was seriously considering doing full reviews for them for fun, but I figure the blokes here might take ire with that.

That would be X.
