I grew up on Final Fantasy 7, and thought it was the greatest game ever made. Honestly it's a personal favorite because it was my first Final Fantasy. However, having recently replaying ALL Final Fantasy games...I must say FFVI is much more well done, with more epic moments.

Playing retro games today, which games maintain their age well (like FFVI and Chrono Trigger), and which ones seem to lose out a bit (for me, FFV).

Happy belated New Years everyone (I'm very new to the forum) :)

Well playing all fantasy game, must take lot of time ... I played the final fantasy I & II remake for gameboy with an emulator and this was incredibly boring :
the bonus parts were after some times a bit frustrating, too much repetitions.
I loved FFVI too. I liked the 2D graphics, especially with the filters of emulators.
I liked a bit every final fantasy from VII to X , didn't play other (beside I & II ).
The end of ffX was a bit boring, I hated the dark aeons quest.

I wouldnt touch XII at all tbh. I liked some moments in 10. I really liked FF1 tbh, I felt it was way ahead of its time and set up a lot of themes for future titles. But YES everything from 4,6-9 is golden for me. For some reason I'm not too fond of 5 and thought that both 4 and 6 were stronger entries =)

I hate all the filler in the new games (such as dark aeon quests and bounties)

VI was the best!!
Dragon Quest is also a true classic!

I'm starting to wonder if I'm the only one which, having played and completed both VI and VII, prefers the latter. I don't know how to put into words how I feel about it, but VII actually made me want to move the story forward and generally have fun with whatever minigame/sidequest/game-mechanic it had to offer; as for VI, heh, it was more like: I've bought this, might as well see how the story ends.

Completed just the story of VI once, and quite frankly I don't see myself picking that game up again, unlike VII/VIII/IX/X-2. There was no spark.

It's been almost a decade since I've returned here... And yet the first thread I see is yet another VI vs VII topic... Some things will always stay the same.
