Best FF

IX definetely. The best, most memorable characters (Vivi = awesome); colorful fantasy settings (fantasy beats sci-fi anyday); and a pretty neat story to boot. The only con about it is the summoning system, although that one's still better than VIII's.

I liked the character development and overall "feel".

VIII would be a close second for me. Squall is one of my favorite characters.

VIII, IMO, places right at very bottom, right under II (the actual II, not IV). The GF and junction systems just sucked and "drawing" magic from enemies being the only way to get it is the worst idea ever. And I thought Squall was just horrible as a hero. The whole "I'm only saving the world because I'm getting paid" only works for muscle-bound action heroes who run into a room with guns flying IMO, not some depressed teen who would probably be happier dead.

As for II, I just think the "levelling up" system was implemented wrong. It was a good idea, and realistic (at least more so than actually levelling up), I think they just didn't do it right and ended up making the game not nearly as good as it could have been.

¦¬Þ And the funny coincidence is... I disliked IX most.

He wasn't really just saving the world because he was getting payed to do it! He was saving the world because he had to. He was saving it because he was the one wrapped up in all of the things that was going to destroy it. And he was saving it to save Rinoa too. SEED was created to destroy the sorceress, the issue of getting payed never really comes up after like halfway through disk two.

that actually describes the cloud/FFVII hero much more than Squall, and its true, the levelling up system made the game MUCH to easy to reach lvl 100, and GFs had much too much of an impact on the gameplay, i mean honestly, you only have TWO chances the get the best ones in the game, and then if you don't get them, u'r pretty much screwed, as in u just miss SO much from the game.

Ahh! I thought GFs were great. Besides it's like that in all GFs pretty much you miss your chance to get a lot of things. What was so wrong with drawing spells from monsters? I thought it was great. Oh well perhaps I'm wrong. I spent so much time on that game.
