| I've only played Final Fantasy X. There's a Square Enix flash sale going on in the PSN store, with lots of Final Fantasy games listed. Aside from Final Fantasy 7. (waiting for the remake) Which Final Fantasy game would you recommend? |
| Just play all of the mainline ones you can, including the original version of 7. The remake won't be out for years and is guaranteed to be vastly different from the original game. I've heard Tactics is pretty good too. |
| I likde Ff Xiii very much. |
 .. |
| IX - has a nice feel to it |

| There are no BAD Final Fantasy games. However I personally like XII. Its got a very strong world if anything. |
| FF8 is the best one. Also NightKraver said: (waiting for the remake) Just play the original. |

| FF 6 is considered the best. FF 2, and 13 are considered the worst. FF 9 is my favorite based on the characters. Narmy said: FF8 is the best one.

 |
| I'd say X-2, XII, VIII (X-2 is super good, a little different from the original, but still a lot of fun). |

| FF Tactics. My second most favorite game of all times. The 1.3 Insane Difficulty mod is also dope. |
| XII for PS2. The best in all categories except story and characters. Not to say they're not good, but there are other FF games that do those better. IX for PS1. |

You can't really go wrong with this list. FF5 is one of the more charming games on the list in regards to characters (REALLY, REALLY funny characters). It has by far and away the funniest moments of any FF game I've ever played. FF6 probably has one of the better stories in regards to FF games and also has some pretty memorable characters (not to mention one of the more memorable villains in any of the games, aka. Kefka is a boss!). FF7 is obviously a classic for a lot of reasons, but I don't think it would be a bad idea to play the original. For starters, knowing the "break neck" speed Square Enix works on games, expect a FF7 remake to come out in 2018 (or later) and who knows if it will capture the same charm as the original. FF9 also has some of the most memorable characters out of the bunch and the interesting thing about FF9 is it was developed to be more of a callback to the sort of FF games Squaresoft used to develop before they started going all steampunk/futuristic. Each character is awesome and unique in their own way (except for Quina. She's fucking worthless outside of getting a few chuckles). FF Tactics is one of the few strategy RPGs that I really enjoyed. It has a nice mix of traditional RPG elements mixed in with strategy. Zodiac Brave Story was awesome. I thought the story was one of the better parts of the game. |
Narmy said: FF8 is the best one. (not sure if troll) Personally liked FF8, too. Sure it's not the best, but it doesn't deserve all the hate it's getting /inb4copiousamountofFF8sux Tactics was a great run. Really liked the character design (done by Akihiko Yoshida) and the story. |

| I would suggest watch some gameplay on youtube to determine what you like the most |
| Every FF game from 4-10 is amazing. Also don't wait for the remake, it probably won't come out in the next 10 years and it will most likely suck. |
| I'd recommend tactics, it has a game of thrones feel, and it has the best story in the ff series in my opinion. FF6 is my favorite though, the characters, the story, the gameplay, the villians... Although I do recommend to play all of them, all of them are great. I didn't enjoy 5 though. |
shintai88 said: FF9 was the one for me. The rest didn't appeal to me. Not really into the whole Sci-fi steampunk feel. The whole thing just felt really well made, and interesting. FF8 Had an interesting premise with a school. but it just wasn't as interesting. If you liked the setting of ff9, you should definitely try tactics if you haven't already. |
| I enjoyed FFXII a lot. Majority of those who played it did not like it because of the changes in the battle system which I think was great. Also since you've played FFX I think you should play FFX-2 too |

| Final Fantasy VI it's a must play for sure. It's my favorite game from the series. VI was declared to have the most beautiful OST from the entire series. It also has the most memorable villain from the whole series (Kefka), well developed characters and the story is the best from the whole series (for me ofc). A very memorable moment that none from the series attempted it before, or after. So yeah, I'm quite the FFVI fanboy here lol After that I recommend you try: XIII, XIII-2, X, X-2, IV, V, III, II & I (so you could see from where it started). Personal favorite FF games of all time for me: 1. FF VI 2. FF X 3. FF XIII-2 4. FF IV 5. FF V The only ones I didn't play yet is VIII (played trough it the 1st disc, and after that I lost my save....was way too lazy to start again), IX & XII. The online ones doesn't count for me, 'cuz MMOs are shit, and FF is all about single player experience. |

I actually loved to bits FF VII Crisis Core, and hated 7. Way too overrated that game. If anything, it's prolly in the last spot for my fav FF games. |
|
| How about fuck all the "This FF (insert number) is waaay better" fanboy shit and just play all of them if you have the cash. Yes. All of them. Even the spinoffs. |

In fact I adore FF7 (but I can admit it's not the best game even in its own series) but Crisis Core is one of the worst games I've ever played. I could go on full-blown rant right here and now on why it's a shitty game that sucks ass, but I doubt you or anyone else here cares so I won't. |
| 6,7 and 9 are the must plays imo. Tactics, 4 and 5 are some worth playing. 3 and 13 were kinda meh, and in general are some of the lesser liked ones. |

(I'm being capt. obvious here) It wasn't my taste. Characters were bland, villain bland and non-existent throughout the story. Heck the only character that I somewhat liked was an optional one (Vincent) This kinda also sums up FF VII. |

What with its one-note, underdeveloped Zack, walking plot device Angeal and pretentious faggot Genesis etc. |
| Like I said mate, different taste and opinions. For me Crisis Core is a masterpiece, while VII...not even close to a good game. Zack it's more fleshed out and has more personality then Cloud had in it's own, AC, and even Dissidia games (yup I played both PSP titles). Not saying VII it's bad, as a fact...I'm saying it's bad to me, because I didn't enjoy anything from the game. |

And I can see it's just bias, so whatever. |
| Same could be said about your statements, but alas, this is becoming into Crisis Core vs FF VII thread, and it always ends up with hate remarks in this kind of debate. Let's just respect each other's opinion and move on. Let other people make FF recommendations, not make them read our fanboy side defending what we like. Cheers mate. |

| Final Fantasy XII |
 |
| Can only speak on behalf of the mainline ones after VIII, but for the most part, anything from VIII until XII, with the exception of XI, I would recommend. Personally, did not enjoy the XIII trilogy as much, but if I had to choose one XIII-2. |
| Final Fantasy Tactics. Play the original not WotL, the dialogue is too distracting and everyone sounds similar because their tone is always this flowery Shakespearean dialect. Dialogue like "Animals have no God!" communicates the feeling and intent of the character better than "The Gods have no eyes for chattel" (which also doesn't reflect the character's brash, arrogant personality). Unless you're well versed in that sort of language and it communicates mood and meaning to you better, and in that case I hope you're working at your local Renaissance fair. Also FF12. |
| In this order (meaning, my favorite at top): - 9 - 8 - 7 (original, I heard the remake will change basic fight gameplay) - 6 - 4 - 5 As you can see, I only like the ones with turn-based fights (except 10, which I found awful) |

| Ff Viii, ffix, ff-x, ff xi Twelve, Nine and Ten was the ones I liked the most |
| Among those I played I'd suggest you FF 9. It's a more "traditional" RPG than FF 7, with a medieval-like setting and super-deformed style. Somebody, maybe accustomed to the new FFs, may not like it and call it old-fashioned, but personally I love this game. Moreover it has an excellent storyline, superb music (Nobuo Uematsu really outdid himself) and interesting and likeable characters! :) |
 |
| You'll get answers all over the place because of broken base. Not sure if that helps you, IV, VI, IX are certainly good games/stories. VIII did about everything wrong you could do wrong and still people like it. Which just proves that it's mostly about personal preference. |
