The Top Ten

1Final Fantasy VII
I played final fantasy vii to see how it compares to the other games and it beat the crap out of the other games in everything except the graphics because compared to xiv & the other new ones the graphics just don't compare;though everything else about it is way better. I mean I just wish they'd re-master it for ps3/x-box 360/pc with way better graphics & it'd be no questions asked the best game out there
I love final fantasy 7 because it is the bomb.com
There's no point in pretending that any other FF is better than this gold plated classic. The characters, plot, materia system, side-quests, vehicles, graphics, sound and gameplay all hit the top spot. More memorable and involving than any other game I've played.

2Final Fantasy X
From someone who has played every FF game to completion, this was my favorite, and still is. One of the things a true FF fan will notice about this game is the MUSIC, this game's soundtrack is absolutely, ridiculously good. Its a bridge to the emotions of the player and it works SO well that I could say it is potentially the most important part of this game. Remember The Hymn of the Faith in all its different incarnations playing as almost a underlying theme to the whole story.

The story is epic, the battle system is the best of all FF's even today (best blend of classic FF style + you can swap your characters in mid battle, making them feel like they are all helping! ). The characters themselves are amazing and except for Tidus being kind of a whiner sometimes, thy are all pretty are fantastic. I'm thrilled they are remaking this, and for good reason. They know how good it is too. Go Square!
The story is amazing, the emotion in this game really connects with the player. The music enhances this game spectacularly like is rarely ever seen, and some of the characters such as Auron, Khimari and Lulu are among the best ever seen. The sphere grid leveling system was the most fun mechanic I've seen in a FF game, and you really got the sense of TRAVEL across a fantasy world as you work towards Zanarkand. My favorite FF ever, what I believe to be the pinnacle achievement for the entire series. A spectactularly amazing game.
No FF has ever had a more emotional quality to it like this game has. Plus the game-play and all the rest makes this the assured greatest FF ever made. No one should ever argue with this.

3Final Fantasy IX
IX was a throwback to the good old days before Cloud and Squall when Final Fantasy protaganists weren't emo gits The story of Zidane and Garnet was a truly touching tale with barrels of comedy thrown in for good measure. And the MUSIC! There's a reason by Nobuo Uematsu says his favourite soundtrack was IX. This game is highly under-rated.

How does IX lose to VI? VI bored me for a good while and the story wasn't nearly as appealing as IX. IX has everything that makes Final Fantasy: Awesome music, great story and characters, perfect controls and battle system, and an excellent adventure. A classic RPG
My favorte. I prefer the final fantasy games where characters have fixed jobs and it is part of their character. (IV and IX). Humorous game with many unique characters. Great battle theme. Main character has personality (even if I am unsure about the tail).

4Final Fantasy VIII
I've played nearly all the final fantasy games and this is the one I keep coming back to I loved the way that you had to make your weapons and the way that you drew magic and GFs from enemies this is defiantly the very best final fantasy!
it is a sick game with a lot of gfs to capture. it does have a little quality. though but I loved it. however, the junctioning system is a bit hard to master but, hey, you will get used as you play it through the story.
The story is weird, but what FF game isn't? Ff8's uniqueness should be given credit, it surely is different, but I personally find the story and cast very nice and well done, it's the plot holes that causes many confusion, most people won't get it on the first try. Finally, if you're like me, loves drama, 8's live story drama is its greatest attraction.

5Final Fantasy VI
Retains a somewhat medieval style, each character is unique in their own way, and also Kefka is a nice villain in his own way
Too much story, characters, gameplay, and depth to deal with. What else do you need?
the first FF in my life, the best story, best characters, best soundtrack... and very very long...

6Final Fantasy XII
this should be on top, its surely my all time favourite RPG, and yes I played vii
Love Fran and Balthier
It's one of the best game I have played.
And Balthier's voice love it

This game has more of a current time feeling, with all the buildings and advanced weaponry. Square Enix definitely took a gamble with this one. In my opinion they succeeded

7Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII
Absolutely beautiful soundtrack, and it leads nicely in to FFVII. I think about how good this game is almost every day
Cloud best character ever. Even better then master chief.
Beautiful game! Love this almost as much as the first in the VII world.

8Final Fantasy IV
the reason I started playing final fantasy, I love everything about it
This was the best one. Not without its competition though. I've played it on Anthology, the Advance version AND the DS remake.
It has one of the most complex characters on the series: Golbez. Plus, the battle system is very edgy, and the soundtrack is amazaing.

9Dissidia Final Fantasy

10Final Fantasy
Everyone seems to forget that, without this game, there WOULDN'T BE Final Fantasy. It was a last ditch effort. It is also truly great how the first enemy you face is also the last. I thought he was just a tutorial enemy, while he is ' Chaos. I'm pretty sure no one knew who Garland really was. One Word for this game: EPIC!

The Contenders

11Final Fantasy XIII
I don't care if people think this game is bad or has a crap story line! I think the story line is amazing and beautiful! The characters are amazing and unforgettable and I can really connect with them! I love lightning so much. She's proof that woman can be strong minded!
Also with the best battle system I've seen on a Final Fantasy game and with all the choices of what style you want to fight with makes it easy to find the style to suit you! And to top it all off the game has an amazing soundtrack! I can listen to one piece of music from that game 5 hours straight!
Lightning is hot and that black guy is cool.

12final fantasy X-2

To me, Final Fantasy X-2, was the best FF game ever, with amazing graphics, awesome characters and emotional music, this game should have more credit then what it's given to right now, this game is the reason it makes me love FF, it makes me cry every time. Not to mention the story is the best of any FF game

13Final Fantasy Tactics
Complex story, awesome soundtrack, believable characters, good length and probably the best battle system of the series.

14Final Fantasy II

15Final Fantasy V

16Final Fantasy III

Love the game, so many hours and so much strategy

Sixty or so hour of this may seem to much but it the best final fantasy game ever

17Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift
This is the best strategic game ever!
This game is better than tactics advance and war of the lions
SO many hours of my life went into this game

18Final Fantasy XIII-2

19Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers

Even if it is a spin-off series to the Final Fantasy series, these games were my first exposure to Final Fantasy. I personally have an attachment to these games because of that reason.

Sephirotha

Despite it not being one of the major Final Fantasy games in the series I think this game is purely amazing! With its unique cast and soundtrack its just so damn amazing! I love it so much! It feels more like you can connect with the characters and it doesn't have the boring and traditional turn based battles that get really boring

20Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings

21Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII

22Final Fantasy Legend 3

I've heard so much about this game!

23Final Fantasy IV Advance
