Well I only REALLY played FFIX after VIII but I never saw the auto futre (maybe becouse I didn't come so long in the game) And I thought Gambits was necesery for the spell casting etc and I did only come to when you get the one that killed Vaan's brother becouse I can only play it at my brothers and thats a country away so I didn't get so far. stillthe license just is annoying to me. I mean if there either were ne license for all armor of one "class or that you needed to buy spell and learn have to use them generally if I rmembre right. and the system is NOT like the FFIV it's just like any mmorpg more then that you have to hold two button to escape in my oppinion. And The game just feels boring to me. mabe becouse I've cracked on FFVI :P

What about the first one??
And when did the love storys of FF become stupid? maybe when FFVII came I don't know. And III didn't have one either I think. Nor II if I remeber corectly. and V didn't have one more then that parent and child "love-story" The only one that had a love story that you MUST know about is IV that real has much relevance. So FFXII is FAR from the first

Yeah, that love story between the uncharacterized White Mage and Fighter in the first Final Fantasy sure ticked me off. D:

Ok, Ok, I get it. But to be fair, 12 is only FF that I've actually played. But before it, it seems the franchise can only have popular games if they involve romance. As in, I only ever hear about 7 and 10. So please excuse my ignorant critizism.
BTW, opening that door was nigh jaw-droppingly simple, I just didn't get the hint.

Haha wow, well FF VI being the king of all saiyans once again is a hard nut to crack. But alas poor yorick, it just sounds like you don't like MMOs Because even though it isn't, it's sturdier than most MMOs out there t it's game style in general, aside from the super specials you get to crack dimensions with. And Gambits were not needed in any way. Just turn them off, you can choose your spells to cast at any point, your skills, your items, gambits werjust the selectable auto system.
Again the license system, what you're doing is gaining the knowledge of that specific thing, and so anything from weapons to magic to items is understandable that you must learn it first. It'sjust some armor and hats is what makes it silly since you just wear them. However for the love story, here's the issue. most "fans" of FF start and stick in VII, from VII and up there's been a love story encompassing it somewhere, and it's somewhat important. So most expectations would in turn follow from VII's success and have an interesting love story, which the other FFs pulled off (except X, eww). Now XII finally hit after a wait since XI was an MMO and low and behold we're back to a european futuristic style with a serious story and no love twist. Which wasn't bad by any means, just through most modern "ff fans" out the door. Now for the people who went back and played all other FF games or have been following it, that's not an uncommon setting, so it didn't hit as hard.

I geuss your right but I hate FFXII just becouse it's so god damn boring If they only mad it like secret of mana that one button ...Wait was it that way in FFXII? don't remeber. still the system dosn't feel FFXII it feels like a ripofff of Kotor when you think of it. I mean you have the pause command and it's simallar just that kotor is...fun!
It's might be becuose I'm a starwars fan or that it's easier to understand the story becouse of the vocie only gamplay.

Wow, I can see a lot of people here have some very heartfelt opinions on the many games in the Final Fantasy Franchise. I guess I'll put in some of my own since I'm a huge fan of the franchise as well xD.
Let's see, I feel; FFVII was the best due to many things. Gameplay was good for it, I loved using the Materia system to set up my attacks, Characters and Storyline were pretty deep, 3 versions of Bahamut was great, the Mini-games were so addicting you could do those hours alone (Snowboarding, Chocobo Races and the Motorcycle game mainly),it was the FF that revolutionized them all and even though it left a lot of "holes" in the storyline, they lead to the birth of more games to fill them in. FFVIII was another good one, I thought the storyline was alright though being very romantically based, GF's were a good idea to implement, Characters were pretty enjoyable in their own ways. FFIX I did not enjoy too much unfortunately. The system for it was weird since you had to learn things via equips so that meant I was forced to use a weapon until I got it. Not too big of a deal to some, but I disliked having to do that. Bahamut getting beaten by Alexander was and still is in my mind a COMPLETE TRAVESTY which also put the game off. Trance mode broken what was known as Limit Breaks and that was kinda bad as well. Graphic wise and character wise were good, I enjoyed seeing a true black mage from FFT come to life (Vivi). Story was good from what I remember although I didn't put in enough time to get through it. FFT was a great one even though it didn't get a number for it. I thought the storyline was pretty good and being able to create characters after my friends and I, then train them and make them into pwnage classes was marvelous to me. Most people felt that it being tactical was bad, but that was the point of this one, to be tactical. Summon graphics weren't amazing, but it's what I would expect from it. Also like VII it had a couple games made after it adding to it's success in the series. FFX was the game in my mind that rebounded the series from it's blunder in IX. First of all, they showed how powerful the graphics could be on their new home the PS2. People have a love hate relationship with the characters but I thought they were all ok, I mean sure Tidus wasn't as cool as Cloud or Squall and whined a lot, but you gotta think about how he didn't want to be there, NEVER really had any combat training like those two and was still developing into the hero he was supposed to be. This one also implemented the Sphere Grid which in my mind was a great idea as well. Battle system was great seeing how you could now swap in and out party members at will and control your Aeons somewhat. Storyline was a bit romantic yes, but it had a strong sense of saving the world in it as well. FFXI I never got to play but it is one of my dreams come to reality, being a MMORPG for FF xD. FFXII I've heard people in this thread hate and love this game. My opinion was that this game was a pretty good success for the series. The characters are all cool in my mind although Vaan really lacks a sense of Heroism in him, but that is where the other characters make up I suppose. The Gambit system was a good implement seeing how it was still ATB but now you got to free roam the world of Ivalice somewhat while doing it. Storyline wasn't a romantic based one but war/political and I guess some people didn't like that but this game is Ivalice based and that is what it is meant to be about. There is always a dispute over who should control what which leads to big battles and wars. In my opinion the storyline was great and bringing the Judges from FFTA (I hated them in there for not letting me pwn as I pleased) and making them very VERY cool. As for the License Board, it's just like the sphere grid but they added your clothes and weaponry too. If you thought it was dumb to have clothes and weapons apart of it then I wonder if you ever took in the setting of the game? I'm pretty sure back in the medieval times you couldn't do as you pleased without having permission to do so. That is why weapons and armors are on there as well. So yea, great game in my mind FFX-2 Now a lot of people hate this game and I did too at first. Actually after finding out that I could only use 3 characters (none of the ones from the first one that I actually liked) I quit. However I went back to it and put the hate behind me to give it a fair chance. Well, it turned out to be a decent game to me. Characters were good, just a bit more matured since their times in FFX. Battle system was ok, i liked making chains to make enemies feel more pain and while people didn't like switching dresspheres it makes it a whole lot easier to adapt since you're only able to use 3 lovely ladies. Speaking of Dresspheres, I didn't enjoy seeing the Sphere Grid being gone and I still kinda don't but it's not garbage. Storyline is just to clear up some unfinished buisness which is what you would expect from a sequel, to finish or continue the story, not start a whole new one while the book is still incomplete. FFT:A well not much to say here, just another FFT. I feel it wasn't as good as the original but it was still ok. Judges were new and forced you to be even more careful than the original which in a sense increases the difficulty. New jobs were implemented as well as some new races which were a nice touch. Storyline was ok but I would've never followed through with it if I was the main character because I would love to be in the world of Final Fantasy xD FFIII This game was HARD and I think so only for one major reason; YOU CAN'T BUY PHOENIX DOWNS! For the first time in my FF campaign I had to be conservative with them and believe me, it was hard to do lol. Storyline was ok and characters didn't have too much emotion but it is what I expect from the older ones. Gameplay was your old school FF which was a nice feel seeing how it changed more and more over time. FF:CC Ok, this game was also hated by a lot of people and I disagree with them. For the first time I could play FF with 3 of my friends which was great. Storyline wasn't really good seeing how all you did was get Myrrh to protect their town from the miasma. I'll admit playing this game alone SUCKS and I don't reccomend it lol. However playing with your friends is where it gets fun and interesting as you get a personal "goal" to complete while doing the current mission. The player who does their goal the best gets first pick at the awards, meaning it gets competitive to keep your goal a secret without giving too much away as to what it could be. I haven't been able to play I,II, (working on IV), V,VI, VII side games (Crisis Core and Dirge of Cerberus), XI and some other side games that I can't remember. I've said a mouthful so I think I'll end it here xD

I'm a big Final Fantasy fan. I own just about all of them. I'll rate the ones I've beaten. I'm not going into the hand-held consoles, I never bothered. I'm sticking with Nintendo and PlayStation.
FFIII / FFVI: 3 and 6 are the same thing, 3 just released on the SNES and 6 on the PS. You are given many characters, and a plot line that becomes deeper and more twisted as it goes on. Each character (save you know, Gogo and Umaro) have their own interesting story and quirks. The villain is great as a bad guy, and as you play, you really see he is an insane, unforgiving asshole. Great plot, great characters. It starts a little slow, but it gets much better. It's my favorite FF title. 8.5/10. FFV: Released on the PS in America in a set including 6, 5 is a good game included with the other game. It has its own hilarity in it (read the dialogue throughout the game, it's great) and the characters are pretty cool. Your villain X-Death (original) is the stereotypical villain, out to control the world and just be annoying. The game flows pretty well, but I think the characters make it. 7/10. FFVIII: This game is okay. Unlike other games, you have to draw magic from your enemies. The plot is good, and the characters are distinctive. What really bothered me in this game is the development of Squall and Rinoa's relationship. It just kind of...happened, with no good back-story at all. What also bothered me is that in the final fight, I only needed three characters, one being Squall who could easily obliterate the enemy with his limit break. It was painfully easy. Like I said, it's okay. 6/10. FFIX: I liked this one a lot. You attain and meet very diverse characters, and the female protagonist (the Princess) isn't annoying. The plot isn't superb, but it's good for the game. By the end, you really want to beat up the villain. It becomes rather Sci-Fi-like later towards the end of the game, and if you're turned off by that, it's not too bad. What's best about this, I think, is at the beginning-middle of the game. A lot of places, and a lot of things going on. 8/10. FFX: The big one, released with voice actors and MUCH better graphics. This is a good game, a very good game. You aren't really allowed to do much in battle; the battle system is drawn out and rather slow, but it gets the job done. More emphasis was put towards the plot line, and this game did the best concerning plot and specific little details. The character you can control at times is annoying, but he has his reasons. This game is dramatic, and doesn't necessarily end with a happy ending, but I think that's what made it good. 8/10. FFX-2: People diss this game a lot. I can see why, but when you get through it, it's really not a bad game. Sure, you have three characters; three female characters. But you are given some freedom in this game; you start off with an airship, and you travel trying to find any hints of FFX's protagonist. It's the first sequel of the franchise, and personally they did a damn good job. Although, it gets very agitating, because this game actually records how much is being completed. And getting 100% is a bitch, and the game at that point becomes more of a tiring experience. 7.5/10. I plan on beating the main games, I - X-2. I don't like XII, and never really gave it a try because the battle system turned me off completely. I tried Dirge of Cerberus, and I see what they were trying to do, but I think they should stick with the ATB system. Leave the FPS to other companies.

If they want a party variety, they can go play the international version... It looks kickass having a Chocobo in your party!
As well as the original FFX characters too...
