For me it’s

  1. Final Fantasy Tactics

  2. Final Fantasy VII

  3. Final Fantasy XI

The three games I keep coming back to in the franchise.

Tactics has the best writing imo as well as gameplay.

Visually speaking VII’s aesthetic and music are peak FF.

And then when it comes to getting lost in the lore and world of a virtual game, I like XI.

Granted all 3 share similar themes like good writing, music, gameplay, etc. but those are my standouts.

How about you?

    X

    IX

    VI

    X is my all time favorite though. I’m glad it got a sequel for its epilogue. The world building is phenomenal. The way Pyreflies, Aeons, Fiends, and more are incorporated into Spira makes the world believable.

    My only gripe is that in the thousand years since Sin’s appearance, only five summoners have succeeded in bringing a Calm. That just seems so unlikely, and it makes more sense to me if there were more successful pilgrimages. Otherwise why bother keeping the pilgrimage as a practice?

      Yevon used Sin as a tool of control, knowing it would just come back afterwards even if a pilgrimage was successful - the pilgrimages were about giving people hope that Sin could be overcome, not about actually defeating it.
