What Final Fantasy game to buy?

[Guest MuRd0K]

So... I decided to buy a Final Fantasy videogame, since I enjoyed FFVIII quite a lot, and everybody else seems to be so high on FF.

What Final Fantasy game for PS/PS2 do you recommend?

[ROC]

Most fans will say VII. You may also want X and X-2. I have a friend that likes both of those games.

[Guest Xecution]

VII quite possibly the best game ever. I've played all the FF's and it just seems that VII is the best.

[BlackFlagg]

if ya wanna get older FF games you can get Final Fantasy Anthology which is FF V whch was never released in the US and FF VI, Final Fantasy Chronicles which is FF IV along with Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy origins which has Final Fantasy I and II<which also was never relased in the US>

[Clawson]

7 or 10 are probably the two best FF games I've ever played so either one is good.

[Spee]

Any but VIII unless you're a completist and need all the FFs.

VII is highly overrated. 9 and X are better.

[Corizzle]

7 is overrated, but the whole FF series is over rated. I still liked FFVII the most for PS

[Karizma]

VII is the best, but I enjoyed IX much more, and X was pretty good, purely because the graphics for it were great, and it seemed like more of a challenge to me.

[Herr Matzat]

someone needs to explain me whats so good with X-2, it´s even more shit than 9

pure fanservice, zero story mucho stupidety :/

[Jook]

FFVII, without a doubt. It's my favourite game ever. You won't be disappointed.

[G-O-D]

You should get either FFVII or FF Tactics. Both are great games.

[Razer82]

Of all the ones I've played, VII is the best, get that one.

[Guest Meatwad]

Anthology or Tactics.

[Guest bruins72]

Is X the one that you need the online adapter for? Or is that one not even out yet? I can't remember the last FF game I played. I just remember it had that stupid water polo game in it.

[Skummy]

FF7's the best for storyline, characters and music, FF9 for completism and gameplay, FFX for graphics but not much else. FFA and FF6 for SNES-based greatness.

[Xand]

Save FFII until last. It's rubbish.

[Robsturgh]

FF7, its the one to break you in.

Then 9....maybe.

Then 6.

Then buy a gamecube and get Chrystal Chronicals.

[Whisper]

FFVIII is by far and away the best..... however since you already have that I'd go with FFVII or FFX. I personally prefer FFX but 7 is a great game. To be honest you can't really go wrong with any ff game.

What do people find so fucking great about VII?

I'll admit, its a good game, but its waaaaaaay too fucking easy, and the storyline isn't that great.

I think a lot of people just get off on the 'OMG AERIS DIES~!111!111!!!1111' thing...

[TheArsenal]

FFVII is possibly the best RPG ever made.

[botchedpiledriver]

Personally, I find FFVII to be the best game of all time. It has everything, an amazing storyline, good characters, plot twists etc etc. You can probably pick the game up on the cheap now.

[oldskool]

You can find it EXTREMELY cheap if you know where to go.

I bought a PS2 game (can't remember what) and i got VII for free.

Given, it was used and only marked for like $3 anyways, but still, free is free.

And I may very well be the only person who's played FF VII and not finished it.

I intend to someday...just not today.

I dunno, I found VII at least harder that VIII...and storylines I don't focus that much on, more on the gameplay, sidequests etc.

Oh yeah, the best FF. Nowadays I prefer 9 over 7, I just fancy it more. 7 is an awesome game too though, so it would be best for you to buy both.

6 & 10 I haven't played...I'm gonna though! Anytime now...
