Mine would be Final Fantasy VI I had the best time playing it i can't really remember enjoying the other games as much I don't have a worst since I enjoyed finishing the games than realize how long have I been playing this o. o'
Backfire
The worst is
8 (come at me), 12 (To an extent, it's one of the better ones, but it's still not as good as the rest), 13 (13-2 arguably makes the 13 series better since it at least adressed a lot of major issues, but the original game is meh as fuck), 11/14 (11 having a large edge over 14).
In the main series, ofc. (Dirge of Cerberus takes the cake)

Best ones are
6 for the amazing characters, gameplay, etc etc etc can never get enough of that shit
7 for being almost omnipotent in the gaming world. You can hate it for being "overrated" but it will always, at the very least, show what Final Fantasy is all about.
9 for pretty much everything.
10 is a great game, fuck the haters. Has lots of memorable moments, great gameplay (aww yeh summons), lots and lots and lots of content. I played the fuck out of it when I was like 8 :v

1-5 are all mildly decent, but i'd consider them the middle ground of FF, along with the prequels/side-games that are usually pretty damn good for not being main games (Dissidia, Crisis Core, FFX-2 (shut up, I liked it :( ), 13-2)

....I love you.

xD No but seriously, Final Fantasy 6 is the best one for me and will always be the best FF game I've played. The reason? Gameplay, Music, Great story line (Yes, I know the world ends but you somehow manage to live...) And favorite scene would be the Play Scene.

Worst for me?
12 ....I actually feel asleep, with remote in hand, just passed out on the chair. There was a bit more talking then the other ones I've played but That just me.
Backfire
I love you too.
also I totally forgot about music.
FF6 ost is fucking magical. Kefka is the best villain ever.
Aoriki
Heck yeah! Kefka is the best villain~ Sephiroth has nothing with him.
Ivalset
Tactics was the best, all of the rest are terrible.
Backfire
I forgot those even existed. God tier games.
Lilac
I didn't mind Tactics.

Although, my attention span is so minimal when it comes to games, I didn't even finish that.
Ivalset
FFTA1 was pretty shitty but A2 was good enough gameplay wise to make up for its kiddy story. Red mages too strong, blue mages too strong, seers too strong, everyone too strong.
Rantai
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles (original) and FF8 are tied for me.

FF13 was the worst I played.
Lilac
How can I forget Crystal Chronicles?

...I want to buy that game so badly now...
Two_old
ff7 was the worst

completely horrible story that everyone gushed over
Mastodonio
FF 9 is the best for me! The second place is between FF 10 & 8
FF 13 is the worst for me :/
-Athena-
Ff10 (2000 hours) was best
Worse was ff13, and even that was very good
NeoRainier
The sensations that FFIX brought me are unmatchable compared to every other FF

Still, FFVIII....that f***ing junction system...i wanna use magic! And i didn't even like their personalities at all. YELLOW TRAIIINS!

Best was 6. Music, characters, story, all awesome.

Worst was Tactics Advance. Marche can suck it.

The original Crystal Chronicles game still is one of my favorite games. I love it especially for its atmosphere.

I would probably consider FF13-2 as worst one. Even though I usually like time travel settings, I think this game was a poor attempt to approach the gamers after the very linear FF13, which at least had some story and more characters appearing.

I think the general rule of thumb is, anything past 10 is shit. I have been warming up to 12 recently though so I might add an exception for that.
I didnt like 12 the first time I picked it up.. It felt too.. Different
But after one year I tried it again and really loved it. Though the story pales in comparison to previous FF's, the gameplay and wonderful graphics made up for it.
Gabi
The best FF games are FF 7 and FF 9. FF 6 was ofcourse also gold <3

FF 8 was the worst for me, only ever finished that game twice.
Rukario
Best:
X, X-2
III
IV
Crisis Core (You ain't got shit against Zack)
Chrystal Chronicles

Worst:
Basically everything after X-2
also VIII (because fuck drawing magic)
Ivalset
I don't understand how someone's issue with ff8 could be drawing magic.
GeNJiii_old
I played, VII , VIII . IX , X , X-2 , XII , XIII , XIII-2

XIII-2 sux xD , others have advnt and disadvnt, but i like ff a lot, so i pass all the games xD
kawaii_uguu
FFX! ALL MY LOVE<3
Today, 7 years after playing it for the first time I still get effin' scary goosebumps only hearing To Zanarkand or Yuna's Sending.

Worst FFX-2, no words neccessary.

Enjoyed VIII and IX as well, never really got into VII.

I think it's easier if i give each game i've played a score out of 10
FF1 7/10 (dated by todays standards, but i will give it credit for how mindblowing it was at the time)
FF2 7/10 (very under-rated and a good black sheep, sure the leveling-up may take a while to get used to but once you do it's really fun, the villain is also the best in the series in my eyes)
FF3 4/10 (admittedly i've only played the DS remake, but i really wasn't too impressed by it)
FF4 9.5/10 (probably my favourite game in the series, i just love the characters and story plus in introduced the RTB system)
FF5 8/10 (so addicting to play o.e , i love the job system in it)
FF6 9/10 (a very good game with a great plot, characters and villain, what more needs to be said)
FF7 7.5/10 (over-rated or not this is still a brilliant game, the 3D blew my mind at the time and i loved some of the characters, wasn't a big fan of cloud though :? )
FF8 7.5/10 (if 7's graphics blew my mind you can imagine my suprise when i played 8, admittadly i hated this game in the beginning, but after making some progress i really started to enjoy it)
FF9 9/10 (absolutely love this game, loved the art-style, story, music and characters, 4 may be my favourite but this is a close second)
FF10 6.5/10 (not the best but certainly not the worst, i liked the main cast, but the combat wasn't the best IMO)
FF13 5/10 (don't get me wrong i don't think the game is bad, but its just lacking that special spark.... it's a good game, just not a good FF game)
foulcoon
FF IX for sure

going to buy this on PSN later (just realized its on there in PSOne classics zzz)

worst was probably FF Mystic Quest, but it was kinda fun when i was a kid.
Dafydd
FF1 - Worst
FF6 - Probably the best I played

Special Mentions: FF4, FF7, and FF9
Aoriki
Oh snap, you all just reminded me of another game I loved.
FF9- Reason? It has its ups and downs with the characters. They look like kids but there actually adults..(Kinda creepy but eh) I got use to it. I love the story plot, music and fell for Vivi just cause he damn cute. (Shut up D: )
Mogsy
Best: VI, IX, and Tactics
Worst: II, Mystic Quest, and Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers

Honorable mention goes to XII for having a cool battle system and my favourite character in the entire series (Baltheir).

I strongly agree with that statement.

Best is 8. Deal with it.

No one here seems to dislike IX. And I don't either. It's my second Final Fantasy I've played, and I got so many good memories of it. It was so amazing story for the 12-year old boy, and almost all characters were likable. Lol, I remember me and my friend saying that Kuja is really good-looking girl in the game and when we found out he was a guy it was so damn confusing and we felt a little uncomfortable inside.(Traps weren't that common thing to see back then) Battle system was also nice, turn-based system I had already been used to when I played VII. Sure I didn't understand all what was going on back then, so i might need to replay it. I'd say it is best Final Fantasy ever, but I haven't played VI yet so I can't. Certainly will play it someday.

Oh, worst. mm... this is hard. There is no utterly bad Final Fantasy game (main series) but I'll say XIII. It's nothing like Final Fantasy should be.

Apart from main series best games would be Tactics A2 and FFCC: Echoes of Time. And worst ehh.. Crystal bearers. I expected a lot of this game, but it is kind of lame.
Ivalset
The only thing that bothers me about IX nowadays is how slow it feels compared to most other rpgs I've played since then. Can't really replay it because of that.
heintsi
Hm, what do you mean by slowness? How fast you progress in story, level up, battle animations?
Ivalset
Ah, I should have clarified, battle animations and general battle speed.
heintsi
Mm-h, you are right. Battle animations sure were slow and summons took so much time to cast and IIRC you couldn't skip them even after seeing them once(all of them were really epic, though). But, I still remember Legend of Dragoon being alot slower rpg in regards of battle speed and animations. Sure it had unique battle system though, so it is kind on the same par with IX. But oh god it's so stupid when you cast a normal Ice spell in LoD, the battle animation has to be so over-the-top and lasts almost half a minute and you can't skip. That's one of the games I can't replay at all.
Ivalset
Rofl, yeah, anything outside of normal attacks is tragically slow in Legend of Dragoon. The entire Addition system was awesome though, it would be great to have a sequel to that game on a modern system.
Hika
Oh holy fuck. XIII & XIII-2 have got to be the best I've ever played. I mean, X & X-2 are cool too but damn.

I second that. I remember I only used magic if I really needed to(dragoon attacks w/e, can't remember), and most of all, I avoided using Rose's Astral Drain. Oh my ears when Rose's bad VA shouts it >.> But yeah I'd also really like a sequel, battle system of LoD worked so well apart from long-ass animations. Actually even remake of original would be alright to me but it should have an option to shorten battle animations and maybe dual audio.
