Which FF Classic game do you think is the best? Sounds Simple, Right?

Final Fantasy IV, it was the first one I played and I still love it today. Even though apparently the PSX version is far harder than the SNES version.

iv was the first final fantasy to have truly deep and emotional characters, cool magic and a great storyline. Also it has even more replay value because of the greatest summoner to ever live RYDIA!!!

I voted II because of the different level up system and memorable characters. And Minwu.

My personal favourite is V, because of the job system and because I've not really had the opportunity to play III yet.

I picked 6, but 5 is a close second.

I've never been able to finish 5 actually, it bored me and then I died so I just stopped playing.

I love how he provided us with both Roman and Arabic numerals.

LOLZ.

VI, but the original is still hella class.

IV. It is one of the best games I have ever played, and who could resist Edward, the "Spoony Bard"?

LOL he SUCKS! The final party is the best one. You have your 3 hitters and your 2 spellcasters, excellent balance.

4? you've got to be kidding me, 5 for an ingenious battle system, and a good storyline.

LOL he SUCKS! The final party is the best one. You have your 3 hitters and your 2 spellcasters, excellent balance.

When I played the GBA version, I sat around forever and a day on Mt. Hobbs trying to get the Cockatrice drop for Rydia. I had Eddy hitting harder than Cecil. Awww, yeah. I like him better than Cecil, and at the end of the day he had the larger impact. Sure Tellah said it, but Eddy reaped the rewards, because I've been known to call people Spoony Bastards to this day :p

Meh I want those summonings -
Cocatrice
Bomb
Mage
Imp
I've only ever been able to get imp before and that took me like 3-4 hours, I believe.

VI is the best classic ff game

No one likes FF or FFIII

FF6 definitely, with FF4 close behind

VI is easily the best of the first six. It had characters with in depth backgrounds and emotions and the story was very good (a change from: "Oh no! The crystals that protect us are in danger!") and gave you some freedom/wasn't too linear, especially post-Floating Continent.

I liked FFV the best.

...Why does FFII have more votes than FFI?

While FFIII is loads of fun, I really have to say...

FFVI all the way.

That's true, i really liked this final fantasy because involved no crystals. Magicite had form of a crystal? so what? those were not called crystal and that is enough for me.

The best of all is its complex 14 playable character storyline. You could even skip events if you want, making the story happen the way you want.

FF6 is the best, an may be have the best story out of all the ff games

Hands-down it ought to be FFVI for me.

VI is the tops for me in the classics list. It has a good compromise between party switching and the quests, there's a good balance between the campy humor and seriousness in the story, and the story itself was captivating.

ff1 was the best, I loved the 8-bit graphics they were so cute.

It changes, but right now FFVI is my favorite. FFV will forever be a favorite of mine, but I'm in love with FFVI at the moment.

FFV for ever for best battle system.

IV with VI second and the original FF coming in third.

Uh, yeah, I found FFIV to be cool. VI is second up.

FFV was the first rpg and FF game I ever played, so it's definately one of my favorites, but as far as the classic games go, FFVI wins for memorable characters, awesome plot and one of the best videogame soundtracks.

Perfect Description

FF VI rocks.. the music the characters the graphics.. i mean it has everything.-..
it must be a remake on PS�_-- just imagine..

Final Fantasy 5, in my mind there is no other classic Final Fantasy game that compares to it. Some come close but still not as good.

Only played FFI,V and VI. Final Fantasy VI was great, I would like to see it made into a hollywood film. :]

I have been playing FFVI fanatically lately. I have become so crazy abot the game and its characters. I admit, I didn't quite understand all of the characters the first time, but I've replayed it four times since I bought it a month ago, and I finally see what so many people have been saying all of these years. Mog, Umaro and Celes are my favorites. Celes' Theme is very emotional, as it reminds me of her relationship with Locke and a certain Opera scene.

Sounds like the words of a fanboy, but I don't care. x)

More like the words of a guy with good tastes.

i am playing IV and i like it... except everybody keeps on killing themselves to save the fucking planet! what good are you dead trying to save the planet when you can do more damage to the people who are trying to destroy/take crystals from the planet and you dont give back the equipment?!

There are good reasons for every characters to sacrifice themselves...

Or did you just miss them?

I love the game for that reason. I dislike having too many choices for parties in the Final Fantasy games after IV. VI isn't bad, but in the later games all your characters can end up with the same abilities anyway. I feel that one has to be more strategic most times in the earlier games.

FFVI obviously.

FFVI is the reason I'm still a gamer.

ffVI, my 1st ff game that i ever played!
The characters tough many, they are very well presented in the game...and the jokes and storyline were very good.

The one of my most memorable moments in ff series is the Opera Scene, funny yet classical!!! Followed by Aerith death then ffx endings then finnaly When The occurias appear to Ashe!

FFVI easily, though FFIV comes close. Theres no denying FFIII's groundbreaking gameplay design though. FFV get merits for killing off a main character (before Aeris) as does FFI for being the first. FFII was just stupid IMO though (after playing D&D for years, min-maxing in that game was a joke).

So yeah, that said: FFVI > FFIV > FFIII > FFV > FFI > FFII in that order.

Mine is definately IV, but keep in mind I have never played VI yet.

FFI for obvious sentimental reasons.

FF VI - Cool story and cast Of Charachters

FFV Coz of the awesome job system. :)

I love ffVI, it has the best story, except maybe that I was waiting for Edgar and Terra to become a real couple.

FF6 tops the charts and I'd argue best in the series. Out of the 6, its the last game, so in terms of graphics, its a bit improved.

Characters- With a vast variety of characters one would think that the game wouldn't allow for development and screen time for such a large group. Thats not the case at all, Every character except the optional 3(Mog,GoGo, Umaro) have deep stories and plot. To realize that the main character of the game isn't the main character at all was truely a great moment. Even the NPCs have touching stories and you feel for them like you do the main characters(ex. Cid).

Story- Such as FF5 had 3 worlds, this game has 2 completely different worlds. You get through the game and you think its over, you encounter the emporer and Kefka. All of a sudden BAM, a shocker and the statues are moved. You wake up from a coma with the world in ruin and stranded on an island. Then you need to find out what happened and get the gang back together again. 2 games in 1, awesome.

Music- Can't argue with this game as having the best music. 7 comes close but can you really beat tunes such as Celes and Terra's theme? Uncomparable.

Thats just my opinion in a nutshell.

I wouldn't say just a bit improved, but a LOT.

Who could forget entire meetings like those with the returners before the party lose sabin while locke spies south figaro?? And the meeting with the emperor??

There are not more character development than in this game, and the best example is Terra, who discovered through the story who she was and finally what she really wanted.

The story here was the most solid of all final fantasy before, and the most variable. You can even try to go kick kefka's "eyes" with some characters missing, but not sure of success because you need 3 parties at that time.


Music- Can't argue with this game as having the best music. 7 comes close but can you really beat tunes such as Celes and Terra's theme? Uncomparable.

This is unquestionable, because it has one of the longest soundtracks, and incredibly enough, almost 99% of it is fully memorable and enjoyable. Try to beat that.

FFIII for me.

I picked Final Fantasy IV because of the music.

FFVI is my favorite. My second favorite FF classic would be FF (yes that's right, the very first Final Fantasy :P).

I've played FFV, II, and IV, but never finished them yet. V and IV are a bit hard, but II is pretty decent on difficulty level. I dunno if it's just me.

I would vote for FFIV ~ Best Story and OST. Great Game Overall xD

Oh, all o' yall be spoony bards and "bard"sters (P.S. After this, this is my first thread in the 100's)

wow I shouldn't even vote that would be unfair

Na the name's a dead giveaway

i like VI becuase to be honest have you ever seen a game as intricate and interesting as VI is, apart from another FF game. The music is brilliant to say the least, the story is good, and who doesn't like kefka the evil man.

Final Fantasy VI is my fave. Dunno why maybe because of Setzer being my fave character and III is a close second.

yeah either that or V for me three is more fun and more solid then V sometimes but they both are very close there almost true FF games in a way

For me it's still Final Fantasy IV. Not only was it the game that made me a fan, but it has a great soundtrack, story, and characters you care about and remember years later. Even the the character's you don't play much left an impression.

The ending was also great.

I love FFIV the most as it was the first Final Fantasy I played. I just love the characters and storyline even though I know it all so well now. I'm definitely getting the DS remake when it hits Europe later this year. FFVI comes second because of Kefka alone.

Only played FFI,V and VI. Final Fantasy VI was great, I would like to see it made into a hollywood film. :]

With David Bowie as Kefka! He could go Goblin King style.

I voted FF3 for the fact that it had a smooth job system, and was innovative in doing so. Also, the story (in the DS remake AND the NES original) rocked imo. Also, I liked how you could implement strategy into the game by having to change jobs to actually be able to beat some bosses (at a sane, non-lvl 99 level).

I dislike FF6, because you can make every character exactly the same. Story and all were good, but the characters are always overpowered demi-gods knowing all magics at the end of the game. That drags it down a lot.

I hope DE GRANDE FREAK doesnt get an email notification about this. That would not be good.

:)

With any luck, DE GRANDE FREAK's too engrossed in FFVII and Aeris to check his email...

final fantasy 3
final fantasy 4
final fantasy 8
final fantasy 9 (mainly for its music)
final fantasy 7
no, im not following the "you just like 7 because everyone likes it" fad. i played it (and owned it) since day one.

FFVI, because story, music, Kefka and of course...Terra Branford <3

May I point out that 8, 9 and 7 are not generally referred to as 'classics'?

I'll go with VI. It was fun towards the end. plus there were plenty of plot twists.

FFVI, outclasses all the earlier titles. A little unfairly too. I'm not sure FFI-III should even be ranked against the (relatively) next gen titles.
