Which of these Final Fantasys is the best? They are all good in their own ways, but which is the best in your opinion?

You have to experience them all but Crisis Core had a beautiful story.

I hate FFX with a passion (don't ask me why it will just turn into a Long rant). As for FFXI it was the only MMORPG I was able to get into too. FFXII was one of my favorite FF titles. The only thing that bothered me about FFXII though was the decline in story after the StillShrine Dungeon, Vaan and Penelo shouldn't had been characters in the game they had so little to do with the story. Also the quickings were cheap and the summons were lame (except when you fight them) and Vanye didn't really cut it for a main villain (He was nothing compared to Kuja, Kefka, Seph, multiple villains in FF Tactics)

Never played FFXI, loved both FFX and FFXII but I'll have to give it to FFX overall, it's my favorite game (although a lot of that is due to nostalgia)

FFX was so god-aweful...everything about it just bothers me. Don't get me started on it...

FFXI I haven't played because I don't support Square-Enix wanting to charge for service on top of already paying for XBOX Live.

FFXII I have tried sooooo hard to make myself like it, but I just can't.

FF1, FF4, FF5, FF6, FF7, FF8, FF9 I absolutely love.

FFXI is a huge MMO you can't expect Square not to charge for it. It would be the same case if WoW or Aion was on the 360.

I don't play those either.

For one, it's the principal for me, paying for the game itself, then paying for the internet, then paying for XBOX live and then a monthly charge on top of that for the privilege to play 1 particular game.

For two, sometimes I play a game heavilly, but then go weeks or sometimes months without touching it. The idea of being in the middle of an epic battle with other players on a quest or boss battle sounds awesome...but I don't think they would find it awesome when I abruptly stop playing for whatever reason (all my gametime is chaotic).

I can unnderstand that. It would be a waste of cash to pay for a MMO ATM. Heck I do not even have the time to play the single player games I own now lol.

Every Final Fantasy is fun and I have them all from IV through XII.

If you want to play Final Fantasy as an MMO wait for FF IV it supposed to be a vast improvement over XI.

I enjoyed them all but I have to go with FFXII. The storyline was engrossing and the graphics were the best yet with a huge world that was just fantastic.

BUT ... when we can get the next entry I have high hopes but that will not be a legacy.

Someone is obessed with all these FF threads ;)

FF X was my first RPG so I'm going with that. Everything about it was new and refreshing. FF XII is also a great game for its gameplay and OST, but the story and characters didn't grow on me.

My vote goes for FFXII. Final fantasy XI is a massively multiplayer game. So if you want to play with others go for it. I would recommend to get both X and XII, they are both superb games. Crisis Core, well.. It's a good game, I played it, and its good, but if you want to understand it story-wise, then play the original VII first. Hope I helped xD !

X was amazing. Never played XI, XII was pretty good. Definetly X was the RPG i found more innovative.

Really now? Some of the older FF's are the best. I say give FFVI, FF Tactics (PSP version due to the better translation), FFIX,FFXII,FFVIII,FFVII,FFIV.

Alright, at least give FFIX,FFVIII,FVII (PSX titles). I'm not going to recommend FFX because I dislike the game lol and give FFXII a try. Do you own a DS?

You were in the same boat as me as I never played a RPG before so I started out with FF X. I would strongly recommend this game. Basically FF X got me into the whole RPG genre. You may think FF VI is old, and I thought too at one stage, but once you start getting familiar with the later titles,you'll want to play VI :)

FFX is relatively new, but it feels more dated to me than FFVI did simply because it doesn't make use of the PS2 hardware as well as FFVI did of the snes hardware. FFXIII is probably the first Final Fantasy to be released first in a generation to age well.

I'm gonna have to go with ffx. The ending wasn't the best, but I've always loved that game since it came out..playing it right now actually! The gameplay and battle system on XII are good but i didn't really care for the story.

FF XI was not a successful console MMO, there really never has been one and if there has been I'd argue it is PSO.

I believe that Final Fantasy X was the best Final Fantasy but at times, seems more like an interactive movie.

Uh... none. X was just... awful. I can't believe I forced myself to play through that garbage... or the fact that I purchased it when I ended up finishing it in about as much time as I would have had if I'd just rented it instead. Lousy plot, probably the single most unlikeable cast in a Final Fantasy, and unless you spent a whole week planning how you were going to use that sphere grid system before you started, you might as well buy an Action Replay and cheat it because you'll never be able to make it work for you instead of you working on it. XI is an MMO, and if you're starting now, you'll be playing a very LONG time and grinding up mercilessly before you even get to anything that would be remotely interesting... and this coming from those that did stick it out and enjoyed MMOG's... and I personally hate them. :P XII bastardized the combat system, making it just so poor and unusable. And once I saw the first cutscene with that main character's voice, I was then reminded of Tidus... the very core of the reason I hated X so damn much. Dissidia and Crisis Core are on the PSP, which I don't have... so I can't speak for either of them.

Of these... I liked FF XI. Mainly because of the friends I played with and the long time adventures we had.
