Lol I will list all the FF games I've played and why I chose VIII as my fave
VI - Apart from that the PAL Playstation version has appalling load times and HUGE borders as with all the FF games - I enjoyed it. It has good music, an interesting plotline and a female lead character! Which is always a plus for me. 7/10
VII - Amazing when it first came out and I'm sure we all remember
that scene with Aeris. It has a good plot but it's somewhat like Akira and severely overrated. It's a good game but not the best - Because.. 8/10
VIII - Steals the crown and 0wns it! Mature storyline, more realistic character models and a much more interesting Fantasy world puts this above the rest of the Final Fantasys. I found all the characters likeable apart from Rinoa who gets her two pence worth at the end Lol. 9/10
IX - It had so much going for it but it ends up flat on it's face! Just copy Legend Of Legaia's mist idea and not explain about..infact don't even explain how the last boss came about! The plotline is enjoyable but basic and lacking. I didn't like Zidane very much
7/10
X - Probably second best in my opinion! Tidus was annoying though but I suppose we have to put up with these things. :wink: I wish Spira was more futuristic not some backwords world! It is similar to VIII in terms of characterisation and design. I liked the blitzball minigame but I only spent 180 hours on this to get Yuna 1337 stats. :twisted: 8/10
X-2 - Yay! Fun! Charlie's Angels mixed with Spira and you get FFX-2. Everyone is much more upbeat and Yuna finally gets some backbone and now she isn't so bad! Story was well.. poor in terms of epicness but the battle system more than made up for that. The girl's choice of Final Fantasy although not mine lol. 8/10
X-2: International - An improved version with battle tournaments, capturing and extra dress spheres! Ever wanted Brother and 'him' on your team? Well now you can! I like Festival Goer dress sphere, Yuna looks cute and Rikku 0wns with her goldfish bowl okay? lol. 8.5/10 (due to the extra features!)
I enjoy all the FF games though, VIII just was amazing in everyway
But Square-Enix better get their act together whehn it comes to PAL conversions of the games. All the borders on the FF games are hideous and there is no excuse when other companies have the decency to put 60HZ. Probably I will import FFXII once it gets released in the US.. no more slow-motion Tidus for me anymore. :evil:
I have FF: Tactics but have not had the chance to play it so therefore cannot give my opinion.
