    14 is an mmo. 13 was before that, the one that's supposed to have a 30 hour tutorial.

    unless if you mean FF11 which was also an mmo, in which case you're saying you like 10

    Final Fantasy 9.

    It was the only one I could get into for some strange unknown reason.

    I've played all of them and Final Fantasy VI will always stand above all for me. One of the most flawless RPGs ever.

    And it has one of the most memorable themes ever:

    Im so glad people who are saying 7 arent rehashing the same things little fanboys are saying because they liked Cloud from Kingdom Hearts.

    I liked 8 and 9.

    Just saying.

    Name any FF game before FF7 that did as many innovations gameplay-wise, from the drastic change of skill-system, addition of new player-engaging elements, mini-games, chocobo breeding, and so forth.
    Content-wise, FF7 arguably has more than any other FF game there is(although FF8 and 9 is close, if not identical).

    I get people who simply don't like FF7 for its dated graphics, or for simply disliking the story. But people who can't even see it for what it is, nor grant it the credit it deserves for being the one(and perhaps only) true revolution in the FF series(appart from 10), are just as much fanboys are the ones who blindly go about loving everything about the it, inlcuding the shitty spin-offs.
    Yah but I didn't like the story of FF7.

    I never had much of a connection to the characters.
    I didn't like the style either.


    FF8 was my favorite because the story, characters and presentation.
    I did like playing as Laguna and his gang the most.
    I wish they would make a FF game about those three because it would top every Final Fantasy by far.

    FF8 also brought along the fun card game and in my opinion had the best battle system setting aside the drawing magic issue.

    I like the problems in the game that were political.
    I like the idea with the schools.

    I like the presentation at certain parts.
    Like trying to assassinate the sorceress at the parade.
    Back in the day that was spectacular.

    Or going into space and killing aliens on a abandoned spaceship.

    There was also the battle between two garden schools. You get to swing from a rope while trying to punch a soldier off.
    There was also a point where you are running through a cg motion battle in the background.

    Or the time where you impersonate Galbadia soldiers to infiltrate a base and stop a missile attack.
    Or when you try to kidnap President Deling while on a train.


    Things felt unique a lot of the time.

    I also like the music a lot. It had an awesome boss battle theme and Laguna's battle theme.







    It was also one of the first Video games in Japan to win an award for it's music. Well mainly Eye's on me.
    That song actually meant a lot when you read the lyrics and think of Laguna and Julia (the one singing it and refering to Laguna when she sings).

    It also had one of the best Final Fantasy opening and endings.
    The opening had a powerful song and great effects.
    The ending also had a powerful song and great presentation.
    FF8 was able to end the game very well.
    I loved the camera view at the end which was creative.
    It was also kind of weird to see Laguna in his 40s when he was visiting Raine;s grave.

    To me FF8 felt more at home with the settings while also having a sci-fi setting and magic. It also felt more mature.

    VIII was too amazing for me. I never even finished half of it because I suck at turn based games but for the parts that I did play I really enjoyed it and the story.

    First time I played I couldn't beat Ifrit because I didn't know you could use GFs in battles. I'm so stupid.

    Force Your Way. Best boss theme ever.

    I thought FF8 was pretty easy considering the monsters scale to your lvl.

    Anything before Square-Enix was the best (excluding VII).

    The storyline was dull: You went around as a guy with a giant sword was your typical "aloof" hero who apparently takes on the memories of another guy, which gives him serious emotional problems. You join a group of terrorist who try and fight a company that is "killing the planet" to whom they eventually lose to, causing the lives of thousands.

    The main villain is a man who finds out he was a scientific experiment from that company, so he goes to find a creature who he considers his mother. You don't fight the real him until the end of the game since all the other versions of him were mere clones. His objective was to use the planet as a spaceship to go into other planets with his "mother" when she was just going to kill him anyway if he were to succeed.

    One of the main female characters dies in the first disc through a stab in the back when a simple phoenix down could've brought her back. But to make the game more "suspenseful" that logic wasn't brought into action.

    VII was just "ok". Definately not the best.

    My favorites were IV, VI, VIII, IX.

    VIII is what gave Squaresoft it's push to success with it's amazing graphics(which were thought impossible at the time for the PS1), musical score, & gameplay. Though it was incredibly innovative at the time, the combat was too easy once you figured out you could use the GFs for every single battle to make them unstoppable. Storyline was decent but no where near that of VI or VI.

    IX was another personal favorite (coming in 3rd behind IV & VI) because it had so many twist and you didn't know where the game was headed. No one would've thought SPOILERthat Kuja was the older brother of Tidus, and the destruction of Terra was going to happen.

    It had that certain "Kefka" feel to it.

    Not related though, my favorite games from Square/Squaresoft were Vagrant Story & Romancing SaGa.

    I like FF 7 too, but what you name are not changes to gameplay, rather Content, which FF 7 had a lot of

    gameplay-wise FF 7 was the same ol' RTB, Skill options gameplay older FF's already had

    and FF 6 it's pretty close to FF 7 if not Equal when it comes to content, from the "2 worlds", to the enemies, the huge ammount of skills, Espers, Characters (which were a lot) with each one having a separate storyline, The colisseum Itself was huge, heck, just Gogo himself was such a complex character, I wouldn't say huge content but rather how complex and well made it was

    not saying FF 7 sucks, but saying anyone who doesn't think FF 7 it' an ignorant fanboy it's a blind statement, yells too much of "I'm a fanboy and if you don't think like me you suck"
