Lots of people like the Final Fantasy series sooo??? whats your favorite one and why?
Mine is Final Fantasy Tactics it completely redefined the job system a great assortment of characters, and it even has Cloud Strife as a secret character. Finally got around to fixing the title, it was starting to piss me off.

Yes Final Fantasy Tactics was a great game. I got a kick out of the fact that most people didn't know who the enemy was until the very end of the game. Not that I had a clue as to what was going on the first time I played it either.

My favorite Final Fantasy would have to be 7 with 6 being a close second. The persuit of Sephiroth throughout the game just captivated me. Even though such things were really easy to miss if you didn't talk to certain people in like everytown. I just like the whole unlocking the past thing.

My favorite of the Final Fantasy series remains VII. ;P And if I hadn't tried playing through Suikoden III again I would still consider it my favorite RPG.

Why is it my favorite? Well, first of all FFVII introduced me to RPGs. If I hadn't seen the commercial they had on television for FFVII I wouldn't have gotten a Playstation - I was actually going to get an N64 back then. x_x; Also, the game was truly marvelous to play through and was a change for me because it was highly addictive, easy to play and at the same time challenging. ;)

I also loved Rufus and the Turks - you can't go wrong with ShinRa and ShinRa affiliates ;D Well, all right ya can but that's not the point.

Final Fantasy VI is a very close second. I just really liked following the story behind Locke and Celes - and loved the Opera scene and the cliff scene. :)

Everything after VII... m'eh :p

Yeah I was a little dissapointed on how ShinRa just sort of dropped out of the picture. I mean sure president Rufus got blown up by one of the weapons and all, but still. I mean they could have at least made it to where ShinRa didn't completely drop out of the picture.

The turks were awsome. Except for Elena, she was to much of a novice for her to be considered at the same level as Reno and Rude. They just had way more class.

I really enjoyed IX, dont get me wrong VI and VII were pretty damn cool as well, but I thought in terms of character development, storyline and score that IX came out on top.

Mind you, Final Fantasy will never be as good an RPG series as Suikoden, or even Breath of Fire IMHO.

I really like FF Tactics. Everything about it is really nice. But for a tactic game, it's still not the best. Ogre battle & Tactics Ogre in my oppinion are better than FFT. Vandal Hearts 1 and 2 are also great.
For normal RPG, among all Final Fantasy, the one I like most is FF 9. Why? simple, just because it brings back the enjoyment of FF series that had been lost since FF 7.

I think my favourite Final Fantasy had to be 6. I wasn't too fond of the start but the further I got into it the more I enjoyed it.

A close second would be Final Fantasy 9. As Schala stated above it was fun to play rather than a chore (such as I found 8 to be...)

After that I would have to say Final Fantasy 3. Once again simple and fun. I think I enjoyed the 'class' system of playing rather than the 'job' system. I wasn't too fond of the materia system either...

I know I`m going to be in the minority here, but my favourite is without a doubt number 8(FFVIII). I don`t really like most of the characters, and I know that the plot twist at the end of disc 2 is a bit lame, and that the main plot could have been better, but I really like the world. It`s a sort of strange mix between science fiction and the technology level of our own Earth. This makes it easier to relate to, for me...it seems like some of the cities could almost have been real. I can almost imagine myself walking around in Timber and Balamb. It has this connection to our normal world, with an additional layer of magic and fantastic technology.

It was also the first FF to introduce proper countries(IIRC), I loved the dictionary thing with in-depth information about the setting, and the whole Laguna side-story with the dream sequences really captivated me for some reason. I also liked Squall`s "transformation", though I can see that some could find it a bit cheesy or overly "angsty".

Wow, that was long...hopefully you get the point. :)
I really like all the FFs, though. At least the ones from 6 and forward. And I`ve never played Tactics.

My favourite Final Fantasy game is Final Fantasy IX. As the others have mentioned, playing that game is fun and not a chore. That's what a good game should be IMO, the kind of game that you could just play through without having to have the urge to throw your controller to the TV screen. Sure the jump rope mini-game is ridiculously hard (at least for me, can't seem to even jump rope for 10 or so times, hehe) but that's why it's a mini-game and not something that you have to do to finish the game. Other than that, everything else is pretty much fun and enjoyable. Probably not too many people like the characters in FF IX, but I do. I even find Quina to be highly amusing rather than annoying (though s/he is the only character that has not been in my final party at all -I just happen to like the other characters more-).

Also, I like the "limited freedom" that we have with the characters. Limited in a sense that they got a set role (Zidane being a thief, Garnet as summoner, etc etc), but freedom in a sense that we got to choose which ability to use on the character. Compared to the totally free (in a sense that we could really customize every character to be the same), I find the limited freedom to be more enjoyable. At least there's a reason to use one character than the other depending on how you play the game.

The Chocobo game is also fun, I like spending hours just to play that game, though I must say that I have to use guides to find locations of the hard to find treasures. But overally, it's a very fun mini-game. Dang, after writing all this, I have the urge to play FF IX again .... must ... resist .. it ... must ... finish .. DQ6 .. first... hehe.

Final Fantasy VII is my second favourite out of the Final Fantasy series. But unlike most people who might have been introduced to RPG because of that game, I just like the game because of Yuffie, the Turks, Red XIII, and Tifa. Definitely not a fan of Sephiroth, Vincent, Cid, the flower girl, or Cloud at all. And I'm just too weak to fight the weapons and ended up just giving up on them. The graphic wasn't spectacular, instead more like very blocky and ugly IMO (though understandable because it was like 8 years ago or so, yeah?). But yeah, Yuffie Kisaragi really made the game way more fun to me. Had she not been in the game, I'd probably refuse to finish the game. Heheh.

Final Fantasy Tactics is a good game for sure, but I still prefer Vandal Hearts II when it comes to that kind of genre of games. FFT's biggest drawback for me is its limited character to use. For a game with a lot of characters, they could at least allow us to use more (probably 10 or so characters maximum) rather than only 5 (or 6 or so? can't really remember) as we get more characters. The jobs that we could do are basically useless as well due to the useless treasures. Couldn't be bothered at all with it once I found out that we can't use the treasures.

My favorite was Final Fantasy VII. It was the first Final Fantasy for me to play and I was quite attached to the characters, especially Vincent & Cloud. Cloud remains to be among my favorite RPG heroes still. I like more of the badass heroes than the recent sissies such as Zidane and Tidus. Well Zidane wasn't actually a sissy, but he wasn't anything special. Also storywise, Final Fantasy went downhill. So my favorite remains to be VII.

I still enjoy playing final Fantasy 6 to this day. There's something about that game that makes it a classic. That game comes from a time where RPG's wee unknown and ideas were fresh. Although none of the characters were too unique since you could teach them all magic, the characters had their own personality.

Yet, my most favorite of them all has to be FF9. After 7 and 8 came out, I've wondered when Final Fantasy would go back to its roots. The series was getting to technologically involved for me. Then comes 9 with its moogles, sprites, unique races, and then I instantly fell for the game. Everyone has their own usefulness in battle and to the storyline as well. IM, with the exception of the boss battle, it has the best battle music. There were many different variations of them including the battle in the play, the normal battle theme, the battle with Beatris, the battle vs. Kuja, etc.

To keep it short, I believe it's a masterpiece that will never be replicated even if someone were to try.
