Final Fantasy 6Japanese is an amazing game and tops my list easily. That's a bit unfair, though, I assume, because I haven't played the Japanese versions of the others. Even prior to playing the Japanese version, though, I enjoyed 6 better than the rest because of the engagement of the characters.

Seven was always close on its heels because of what I saw it attempting to do; be a fast-moving game with an amount of character and story depth, and I got really wrapped up in all of the possible symbolism. Really, it's the symbolism and pace that elevated it so for me.

I enjoyed Eight on the first playthrough or so, but found myself getting bored by how it seemed to drag on or jump from event to event with clear seams sometimes. I liked the flashy action, the romance, and the general plot idea, and had a great time with the Junction system and kicking Omega's ass, but I felt that every part of the game was lacking in some way, even in its good points.

I never really did get into FF4. I just didn't enjoy it while playing. I'll have to go back and try it with cheats to see the development and characters, and do so with the retranslated version.

FFV was just BS.

I still have yet to play 9-X-2, or get very far in 12. This will be remedied.
