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.

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.
taloscal
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.
rickyboi
Best is 8. Deal with it.
heintsi
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.
Hiza-chan
My favorite is FFIV and FFIX. My least favorite is probably VIII and FFXIII.
-Athena-
FFVIII was awesome to me.. then again it was my first FF so im probably very biased here
Meikyuuiri Tsumi
I loved every Final Fantasy game that I played. Each of them has something that makes them special.
Waryas
FF7 best one.
Good story, i loved the materia system (probably my fav one), breeding chocobos was fun as shit, nothing has toped the gold saucer yet (RACING, SUBMARINE MISSIONS, WRESTLING, ...) , god tier ost (only FF6 does better), first FF I played too.
FF13 worst? only ff i didn't finish

Didn't finish 13. Got REALLY boring and then I tried playing 13-2, I played it for like 4 hours and stopped. Still really boring. Someone said that it was much better than the first one..except, it has my LEAST favorite voice actor of all time. I CANNOT stand Laura Bailey.
Hika
Laura Bailey isn't all that bad..
The storyline hit me very hard though; I'm one of those people that cries at the beauty of the game. I recall crying when I saw Noel's dream. Then I cried at the ending. I'm such a sap ):

P.S. - VI <3
Hiza-chan
Can't stand Laura Bailey. I stopped playing Star Ocean: The Last Hope cause I couldn't turn voice off. I don't like her. Just like I can't watch Fruits Basket in English cause she ruins the main character. Anyway, back to topic.

13 and 13-2 are pretty but I just don't like the combat. Also, I haven't played VI yet. Need to. My boyfriend is currently going through VI again.
Ivalset
Well, Star Ocean: The Last Hope was a bad game anyway, so she did you a favor.
dj M2fiesta
My favorite would be Final Fantasy VI because of the divine story-line, music, and characters.
P.S: Kefka is the most awesome or psychotic villain ever. <3

My least fave is simply FF VIII.
NixXSkate
least favorite is XIII, got old really fast and didn't bother to finish.

favorite was VII probably because it was my 1st, and i just loved playing as cloud, such an awesome main. the settings in FFVII were so memorable. playing this was the whole reason i got into FF games.
also really enjoyed:
VIII, because squall reminded me of myself so much, and had awesome music and cinematography.
X, i played this one the most to beat the dark aeons. i think this one was the best as far as gameplay, had a blast with it.
VI, SNES RPGs have some sort of magic to them. who can forget that world map theme?

IX was nice but didn't really like it as much as the other 4 mentioned, but it seems like everyone loves this one for some reason.
Kurokami
My favorite is maybe Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles and the worst is FFXI on PS2.
bomber34
Fav. FFX (PS2) ~ Liked the story and it had voices so i didn't have to read everything. Also this round battle system is much comfortable for me, because i can think and rest easier in battles.
Worst FF: FFVII ~ The heroes were to emo and the story was kinda dull for me.
YodaSnipe
Fav in the main series: FFIV
Fav prequel/sequel: FFVII Crisis Core
Worst FF: I can't believe people have not unanimously agreed on this but FFXIV it's just... ugh...

Then why are you posting in this topic? :P

On Topic: My favorite is still XIII, seeing that it's one of the first I've played and actually got me interested in the storyline. Another personal favorite is III.

The one I didn't like the most was VII, because of how much people loved that specific title. And don't get me started on the fangirls... While it is a good game, I can't see why people love it so much.

everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but that is actually a really turrible reason to not like something (since it isn't an attribute of the actual product)
YodaSnipe
That is very true @awp.

Dislike the game because you don't like the game, don't dislike it because so many people rave about it. I personally loved the materia system, and it was a pretty enjoyable game overall. I am not a huge fanboy but I do enjoy it. I would argue that the prequel to VII (Crisis Core) was a MUCH better game. Goddamnit Zack WHYYYYY. If there were a guy like Zack irl I'd definitely be gay for him... js... don't judge me...

I still can't bring myself to beat that game, even with that admission.

There are still plenty of other rpg battle systems I prefer in any case, and I have Grandia Xtreme to look to as my favorite "awful game with an awesome battle system"
awp
I saw and almost bought that game a while back. Grandia was phenomenal, and Grandia 2 was very good. Grandia 3 I wasn't sure about, and anything called Xtreme, well...
Rukario
I want a mix between FF X and X-2. Story of X and battle system of X-2. That would be win.
YodaSnipe
Agreed. As overrated as VII is, I think it'd be nice to see it done in sexy HD. I mean Crisis Core looked so awesome, I can't help thinking about an HD VII!!!
Kurokami
Hmm...FFVII in HD, I like that game but because of the terrible grafics I didn't play too much with it but in HD it will be very intresting. *.*

Making a hd version of ffviii isn't gonna be as easy as remastering something like FFX, they have to start from scratch with all the design work so I don't think its very likely
Also I finished ffx-2 and thought it lacked in every aspect except gameplay and graphics lol, it was meant to be just an expansion though so I didn't mind

I never said it would be easy. I never said it'd take less than 10 years. I just think it'd be brilliant if they did re-do it in HD. Hell, I'd even accept it if they made it into an ARPG /love arpgs.

I just like Lily because of her name. I always use the name "Lily" for my female characters and I hated all vocaloid stuff before I found Lily and she isn't an overrated vocaloid, hard to find pics too. ._.
^ kinda off topic. ._.

Well, to do FF7 in HD isn't an easy job, but they will sell a lots of copy, because so many ppls like it and too many ppls hate it just for the graffic. ._.

As harsh as it might sound, I completely agree. And also makes me wonder how do you manage to lose in one of the (to me) easiest and most intuitive FF ever.. I mean, outside Zodiark and that 1.000.000 HP thing, I don't recall a time I was forced to level up to beat a boss.
