I haven’t played all of them, so I’m still evaluating my choices ;)
- FFX by a lot. The story, setting, music, and turn-based battle just can’t be beat for me. (Just X here; X-2 feels too different and I don’t care for it.)
- FFXII. The setting is awesome, the open world feels amazing to explore, and the gambit system is original and fun.
- FFVII Remake. I somehow managed to miss the iconic FFVII, and decided to go into Remake blind—it’s fantastic so far, and I’m excited for the next one.
- FFXIII and FFXIII-2. Another fantastic setting, and the story is great (although I had to read every datalog entry multiple times to understand it). The paradigm system that shifts battle focus from individual actions to large-scale strategy is unique and interesting. Sadly, FFXIII-3’s writing took a nosedive IMO, and FFXIII-2 ends on a cliffhanger, so the series feels unfinished.
- FFVIII. It’s weird, but it’s cute, and I had fun watching the story get crazier and crazier. I don’t love the drawing system for magic, so battle isn’t my favorite.
Last, I’m only a few hours in, but I can already tell FFXVI is going to be on this list, probably near the top!
FFXVI for sure! Will play 7/10/12 and 13 (if there will be some ps4/5 Version in the future)
FFT , IX, FF5/6.
im a sucker for old ff games and i keep a psp just so i can replay them atleast once a year
it’s hard to have only one over the others…
FF8 was my 1st Final Fantasy so it has a special place in my heart and that ending that mindfucked me but I find it hard to replay it today. It’s watching the cinematic of hydra exploding a wall on a friend computer that pushed me to the franchise. It was so incredible to think at that time it was a game cinematic, not a movie…
FF6 is probably the one I replayed the most, I find everything almost perfect
FF9 has the most jaw droping cinematic when a certain character reach trance (definitely the cinematic that made me love that character). Thanks to that cinematic I really love that character and by extension the whole game
and in FF14 I have my best memories because I played it with my friends
Either FF9 or FF14 would be my choices, too.
To everyone else, don’t write off the quality of FF14 just because it’s an MMO.
10 for sure. My first one which helps, but I love the plot, the music and the scenery. Shoutout for 12 as well, i loved the Gambit system on that one!
My first FF Game was the Sequel to 12: Revenant Wings on DS! For sure, it’s completely different gameplay, but I’m looking forward to play 12 next Weekend. :3
I haven’t played all the games yet, but my favorites are definitely FFVI and XIV.
For me it is FFX, FFIV, FF7 Remake and Woff. But i still need to play ff5/6, a lot people say 6 is so good, i will do that for sure.
6, 9, 10 and tactics have a special place in my heart. I’m slowly going through 16 and absolutely loving it so far I wonder if it’ll join this list soon.
FFIX will always hold a special place in my heart for being the first one I played and all the way through and is my top favorite. FFIV and FFVI are also favorites of mine. FFXIV too, if it counts despite being an MMO. I want to finish getting through FFXII, and start the Tactics series eventually.
10, tactics, 12, 14, 16, 7 remake and a few other spin offs
