Final Fantasy suggestions

[Rashid]

Okay, so I've played bits of just about every FF game. 2 (American and Japanese), 3 (Japanese), 4 (English), 5,6,7,8,9,10,12, Mystic Quest,Tactics and Tactics Advance.

However I've only actually beaten Tactics. I'd really like to beat another, one a part of the main series. So which FF game is the shortest / which is the easiest, as I'm currently occupied with other games, and can't devote too much time.

I would guess 10.

[Rashid]

Isn't X like 100 hours?

I heard some people say the earlier ones (1-6) are shorter than the later ones (7-12), but not sure if it's true.

[Vilge Duin]

X can be beaten in a matter of 20 hours if you wanted. People get ridiculously high hours when going after all of the side quests (particularly the ultimate weapons for each character) along with beating all of the special bosses. The main story is relatively short if you follow it through without much deviation.

I also recommend it too if you're looking for the shortest/easiest without much time to put in.

You may very much like XII if you enjoyed Tactics. Otherwise VI isn't all that long. As is IV. VII is fairly long, along with IX. I truly forget VIII despite having it sitting on my desk for the past few months with intentions to play. I recall it being fairly longish. Never bothered with II or III, and only have gotten halfway through V until I was bored to tears.

So go with X, otherwise one of the SNES ones would do quite well.

My friend Kyle claims IV is the quickest and easiest game, assuming you play the original or PS1 copy, apparently they added some stuff for GBA.

I've only played VII, IX, and X to the end, and without a doubt X is significantly shorter than the other two. Easier as well. I usually average about 40/45 hours on it.

tactics is by fare the best on, that might be realted to the fakt that it was not planed as a FF game in the first place.

[Rashid]

Tactics definitly IS the best. Best story in video gaming history (only Chrono Trigger and Cross come close), amazing gameplay, and probably the best TBS/Tactic game ever made.

I just decided that I want to try to beat a RPG FF game.

[Trey]

I've always liked VII the most out of any Final Fantasy, followed by 10 and then Tactics.

But like people have said before, it's insanely easy to get through 10 quickly, and if for some reason you're having trouble at the end, you can always use the King Cactuar trick (I believe that's what he's called) to get really good stats very quickly.

After I beat the game, I did that trick for a while, and I could kill the final boss in 2 hits.

[Rashid]

After asking for suggestions on 2 sites, and reading many reviews on the FF games, I decided that these are ones I'll go through first.

1,2,4, and 10.
