I liked IX but in hindsight the levelling-up/equipping system didn't allow for enough customisation. If you think about it, by the end of the game two players playing the game independently would likely end up with the exact same abilities/moves/etc. So I never felt like I controlled the development of the character.

Tough to say. FFVIII is one of my most favoured games of all time, but FFX is right up there with it.

Seriously, it was utter shite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God I hope that doesn't end up being Gears of War

My first was Mystic Quest.

I don't think its my favorite.

I don't think it's anyone's favourite. Sure it's more a Saga game than final fantasy and only weirdos like the Saga games.

d'Oracle · 07-08-2012, 13:29

Pretty sure I played another one on gameboy which was more like an FF game.
I don't remember much about it, but a **** load of weapons, a fight against Odin and some jumping around dimensions or planets or something.

My favourite is still FF9.
If it had a bit more stuff on the side and quirky story bits like 7 and maybe more than one optional impossible fecker, It would be near perfect.

**Retr0gamer** · 07-08-2012, 13:38

The only FF games on Gameboy were FF Adventure which was actually the first game in the Mana series and the three FF Legend games which were actually the first three games in the Saga series, although I kind of like those ones.

d'Oracle · 07-08-2012, 13:47

Think it might have been Adventure.

Alactric · 08-08-2012, 15:05

Nah, no way OP.

My first was IV. And even while playing and enjoying most of it (f**k the Lunar Subternate and death fake outs) I was acutely aware that there was better on offer. Cecil and Kain are pure ledge though, so it has it's place in my heart.

It was actually V that I fell in love with, well the first half of the game anyway. Having 4 constant party members already puts it ahead of IV. Add in true ATB, the skill linking, and getting different jobs every hour just put it over board. It has some of the deepest RPG elements in the whole series imo. Which makes it all the more soul crushing when it falls apart after the 2nd world. It just becomes dungeon after dungeon after dungeon. With weak bosses that have 1 shot abilities

VI is now my official go to though. You just couldn't replicate the conditions it was made under. It was Square coming towards the end of the line with the Snes, with basically just Chrono T left in the pipeline. It had the scope of IV, but actually delivered, At least some of V's depth with the relic and magicite stuff. And it finally abandoned the damn Crystals storyline and actually gave us the type storyline which we could expect up to XII. It's a pure legend of a game.

As for the PS1 games, I like them ofc but sorta sub-categorize em.
