also, i'm willing to bet that at least 12 of the 14 people that voted for FFVII had never played a final fantasy before that. it really doesnt make sense for someone who had played 4, 5, or 6 to like 7 beter than any of those three.

I played the previous three before I played 7 and they just didn't capture quite as well. Then I played them after 7 and still think 7 is the best of the lot with 6 in a close second.

Also, VII was the first Final Fantasy game many people played, so it was their first experience in the series, hence they liked it more. I know what you are saying though

huh?! what you just said doesn't make sense. i've played virtually all the ffs and i prefer vii on account of plot, characters, and soundtrack, if not among other things as well...although i really relished 4, 5, and 6 (probably more so than 8, 9, and 10) ffvii will always be my fav

For me it had to be FF VIII I love the story and characters in this one the most.

Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their view of reality.

Originally posted by Shamez214 dude... you realize that FF 2 and FF 3 weren't released in America until very recently right? the 2 and 3 you're thinking of are really 4 and 6, respectively. with that being said, FF VI is the best, imo. the story was great. there was an actual villain, unlike all the newer FF's since 7. so many good characters. a great magic system. ONLY thing it lacked was a true main character. many argue Terra is the main character... but you dont even need to get her to beat the game.

FF6 was the only FF i never finished... i think i gave up at the 'magic tower' near the end of the game. so fucking hard!!!!!

i heard that u can get a golden experience egg in the tournament/battle field as a prize

how's the ending?

VII is easily my favourite, it one of the first rpgs i got into, and the story is much better than the other FF's

Currently lovin...
1) Nickelson - Yin (Solid Globe Remix)
2) Outback - State of Emergency (Original mix)
3) Lovefist - Hanging on a String (E-Craig Mix)

how the hell can someone pick FFXII to be their favourite, as a matter of fact why's it even in the poll, if it hasn't even come out yet?!

yeah, that last tower was damn hard. but the final boss was so easy. all you need is terra equipped with the gem box and the item that brings all magic costs down to 1 & gogo in your party.

terra > ultima X 2
gogo > mimic

thus, you get four ultima's for the price of 2 mp.

as for the ending, awesome. for a snes game, very awesome ending. it lasted like 20 minutes or so.

well, i see your point. but, the way i look at is this way. if ff6 was created on ps1 or ps2, it would DEF be better than the others. the graphics would then be equal. the story, which was great, would stay the same. and the music, which imo was AWESOME, would be upgraded to better quality yet keep the same melodies. i just think over all ff6 is a much better game the all the others. man, i would love to see ff6 remade with ps2 graphics... ::drool::
