Forums - Gaming Discussion - IGN ranks Final Fantasy series

It's not exactly the way I would make my list, but it's close enough and you certainly can't argue that it's way off the mark.

My list would look like this:

1- X
2- VI
3- VIII
4- VII
5- IV
6- IX
7- V
8- II
9- III
10- XII
11- I
12- XI
Or something like that. lol

Versus XIII will soon be number 1! Muhahahaha!




I wish :[



Odd. Future. Wolf. Gang. Kill. Em. All. OFWGKTA Don't give a fuck!

Fuck Steve Harvey. FREE EARL!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be the GREATEST game EVER made!!!

I'd take a bullet for Square-Enix! 

 

My top 5 would have to be:

FFVI
FFIX
FFX
FFI
FFVII

Damn, that ended up being harder than I thought. So...doesnt matter how you list them, they are all great (I wanted to love FFVIII but the draw magic system just ruined the game for me. Other than that it was fantastic.)



Close, mine would go like this:

1. FFIV
2. FFX
3. FFVI
4. FFVII
5. FFI
6. FFVIII

And that's all I've played so far.



Yeah my favorite Final Fantasy is IX and X, so I was hoping IX would be higher.



Around the Network

Well, since others are doing it, I may as well post what my listing would be:

FF5
FF6 (Though 5 and 6 are VERY close, switching them wouldn't bother me.)
FF4
FF3
FF1
FF2
FF9 (After this one, I find it easier to remember backwards.)
FF12
FF7
FF10
FF11
FF8

Based on what I've heard, I suspect FF13 will fall around FF11, but I won't make the final call until I see it.

Well... part of it is right? 6 beat 7, which is one of the big things, and 11 is down where it belongs. But 8 is way too high up, there's a rather large bias against the Famicom games (all 3 in the bottom 5?), and 9 is too low. But I guess the absolute worst thing I noticed was a factual error- FF5 did not introduce the ATB system. That was done in 4...

It said it featured the ATB system but not introduced it.  

OT: IV is personally my favorite, VI is probably second, and VII is third, but I've started to resent all the continuations (other than Crisis Core) and all the fans of the series with their emo pictures and all pissy about Sephiroth killing one person... villains before VII used to kill tons of people Kefka destroying the world, zeromus controlling people to kill whole kingdoms for crystals, I mean come on!



Well, to quote the article:

"The game also featured the first Active Time Battle gauge" (Emphasis added)

It did feature it, yes. (Didn't every FF from 4-10 feature it?) But it was not the first, which was my point.

Ahh I see now I must have missed it... odd... FFIV was the first lol hell that was the big innovation that carried on for a freaking decade and still being used in games like FFIV the after years.

Final Fantasy V being out of the bottom 2 is surprising and Final Fantasy II being lower than than the first is also surprising.

And yes, it has gotten to the point where FFVI is the new FFVII. -_-

IX should be higher. It is such a polished and FUN entry in the series. People overlook it way too much.
I'm glad VII didn't win, it's good but overrated. I enjoyed X a lot more and also logged a lot more hours into it as to have left a very dear and lasting impression on me.
XII can burn in hell for all eternity. Except for the voice acting and the amazing graphics at the time.

I have a date with XIII on the 9th of March of 2010.



Haha, my 3 favorite FF games are all in the top 3, though I would rank IV above VII.

X and the craptacular VIII are way too high though, VIII would be last on my list. Even FFXIII is way better than that "game."
