Probably the funnest thing I've done in a regular FF game (Aside from Tactics which is just amazing), Is a no level up run in FF8. It's impossible not to gain a few levels in the beginning of the game but aside from that, it's a lot of fun, and a great challenge.

Well I'm not ignoring the GFs either, but I am definitely using them to give me some crazy stat boosts, etc. The level grinding is mostly for AP to learn all kinda of stat bonuses and junction abilities. Plus the GFs make the game super easy to grind.

I've started 6 and haven't finished it sadly. It IS on my list though.

Also, can we please stop considering FFXI as part of the series? It wasn't even originally titled FFXI, but the number was added to boost sales and get more players. Playing FFXI was probably the worst thing I've ever done in an MMO, I played it for 3 hours, looked up and realized I was like level 4 or something. I actually ninja returned it to Wal-Mart saying the game was busted, and they gave me a nice unopened copy that I took to a different wal-mart to get cash for. Wal-mart you're so good to me.

I had a similar experience. I bought it for the PS2, but my connection was so slow I couldn't even get the game started.

I took it back to walmart and asked if it could be returned if it was opened, and the person said no. So I walked around for a few minutes and came back and there was a different person working, and I just told her the game didn't work and they gave me my money back, which I used to get a NES themed Gameboy SP.

I just remembered my number one gripe with FFXII:

You didn't get a bangaa in your party.

I think FFIX is the only one my brother doesn't own. That one even interests me, because of the classical medieval style.
He started FFXII, but never finished it.
