Which Final Fantasy had your favourite Battle/Item/Equipment System?

Im not to familiar with anything before VII (I will be soon when I start playing every Final Fantasy over the summer)

So which FF had it?

Was it

FFI-VI- ???

FFVII- Turned-based/Materia/Traditional Leveling system?

FFVIII- Turned based Junction System?

FFIX-???

FFX- Sphere Grid/ATB

FFXI-???

FFXII- Real time MMORPG battle system/Liscencing board?

For me personally the best system was in FFX- It was fast paced(for a turned base RPG), Sphere grid was unique and unlike anything I have ever seen before and I loved how you could change Party members and equipment in battle. To me it has the best gameplay I have ever seen in a Final Fantasy and maybe even in an RPG

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

FFXII:Liked the battle systems in previous games but this takes the cake. Its turn based without the tedium and you battle on the same field as the one you explore in. The gambits was genius and really helps in battles. The License Board could use some work and the battle system does some taking use to but other than that, this is a virtually flawless battle system. I know many haters out there are really to hate on me for praising FFXII's battle system.

Final Fantasy 10 is the winner, for me.
I liked 4,6,7,9, systems, hated 8,2. I had mixed feelings about 3,5,12.

Me and Raichu are kind of on the same page...

As much as I love FFVII for the story, FFX and XII have the BEST fighting systems so far. Materia can hang but doesnt quite surpass The Sphere Grid and Liscense Boards

FFXII comes out on top for being the first FF that I actually found it essential to use magic and status magic. If you don't in FFXII you will surely die. Also there were a lot of different techniques to defeating the bosses.

Ex: While Fighting the Garuda you should equip all party members with a long range weapon like a bow. Forcefully spread out your team to make it mandatory that the Garuda must travel some distance in order for it to hit them. Blast out buffer magic such as protect and shell. If low on MP use charge, etc.

FFXII best Battle System

Leveling would probably go to VII because I liked the fact that you can level materia and make it rebirth a new one to get multiple high level materia. Crisis Core took it a step further and allowed you to fuse materia and level it for even more devastating combinations.
