suikoden 2 was GODLY. Unfortunately, my dad traded it in ages ago to get Wild ARMs, which is really really good, but nowhere near as good as Suikoden 2.

Yes! Other people that appreciate Suikoden!

[quote="Blank"]People fellate FFVI way too much. After the world breaks, it's all sidequests. Sure, it's fun and stuff, but it doesn't do it for me.

I chose FFVII, because its storyline is by far the deepest of the FF games. I'm not including the AC and DoC stuff either.

Ranking:
#1: Suikoden 2
#2: FFT/FFVII/Tactics Ogre: Let us Cling Together
#3: SaGa Frontier 2, Suikoden, Shin Megami Tensei, [b]Landstalker[/b], FFIII
#4: FFVI, FFVIII, Alundra, FFX (until you find out that shitty-ass plot twist)

I finally bought FFXII a few months back (and for $20) and didn't play it until recently. It seems okay, although I'm not entirely liking the idea of just letting your fights go on auto-pilot. Does it get more interesting? And is there a point to actually running around during a fight? It seemed like I couldn't avoid any attacks anyway.

IX>VIII>V>VI/VII>XII>X>every other one

I've never played Tactics all the way through because I really don't like tactical RPG's, with the exception of Phantom Brave.

X-2 was a joke.
X1 was obviously a joke.
The VII spinoffs are ridiculous.
IV is awful.

People don't like FFIX? It was the first one I had ever played, and thus far my favorite. Every cutscene made me think, "What? Since when could the PSX do this?" It came out around the same time as the PS2 (maybe even after the PS2), and somehow managed to hold its own against that beast of a machine (at the time).

Musically, however, FFVII is the best, and you can't even debate that.

IX IS the best. By a longshot. It's so much better than just about every other FF that it's not even funny. It outclasses them in terms of succinctness and sidequests and character and GAH that people would pick anything over it really...

GRINDS MY GEARS.

FFVII's soundtrack is great (epic overworld theme IMHO) but I'm reluctant to name it the best. VIII has a special little place in my heart. Balamb and FH.

edit: Postcount = RUSH

Tactics is my favorite. Thankfully I burned my disc to my computer so I can Emulate that shit here at college

Nobuo Uematsu is an awesome composer. I read somewhere that FFVI had the best music, but I haven't heard many of the songs. *Plays Liberi Fatali*

I think by now you might guess that I love that game.

VI has the best music.

I'm not biased in the least.

What, you even like that game?

where I'm at I use running around alot. To space out my characters to avoid AoE mainly.

I really like the fighting system in FFXII, one thing that turned me off to the FF series was.

run run run run BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVTTTT *epic music* *dramatic camera angles* *attack* *mob dies* *victory dance* *rewards* *cut back to overhead* run run BBBBBBBBBBBBBVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVTTTT GODAMMUTHERFUCKER!

now the runt mobs take as much effort as they're worth. Plus real-time combat is much more appealing to me. I'm not sure where I am in the storyline, but fights get really intense and timing is much more of an issue.

I think IX has the best music. VIII is pretty fuckin' good too.
