I was trying to come up with my favorite Final Fantasy games, only counting the first 10 numbered games. I think everyone can agree that after Final Fantasy X, the series took it's most radical turn yet, and stopped being classic Final Fantasy. Here's my list, 1 being my favorite:
1. Final Fantasy VII (lame choice, I know...)
2. Final Fantasy IV
3. Final Fantasy VIII
4. Final Fantasy V + VI (just can't pick one over the other)
5. Final Fantasy X
6. Final Fantasy II
7. Final Fantasy IX
8. Final Fantasy I (I surprised myself putting this at the bottom)
I love all of them, and have played through them multiple times, so ranking my personal favorites was tough. I omitted Final Fantasy III because I've only played about 50% of it (if that), so it's hard to take a stance on it. It's definitely the most technically impressive of the Famicom trilogy though.
How about you guys?
