I've played both. I enjoyed both immensely. I feel guilty; I have a bunch of games in the Disgaea series that I've barely scratched the surface on 🙁. I did however beat hte first Disgaea and thought it was great.

I've always thought about checking out the ff tactics games but I never really got around to it. Strategy games aren't really my thing anyway.

Big FF Fan here! The first one I played was FF9 when I was 13. My boss introduced it to me and lent me the game. I couldn't get enough from there. I played 10 next, then x2, then a little bit of 7 and 8, THEN acquired some of the older games for my gameboy. I don't have access to the new one though simply because I don't have a PS3. 🙁

FFIX was my first also 🙂 It made me go out and get a PS1. And subsequently, a PS2...lol. I started playing backwards from there, so I finished VIII, started VII, finished VI and started V. I also played tactics somewhere in there. And I've played X (finished), X-2 (didn't finish), and XII (almost finished). I still play XI regularly. I bought a PS3 just so I can continue the series and I'll hopefully get around to setting it up this weekend so I can start on FFXIII. Looking forward to seeing how FFXIV works out, too 😀
Never been a fan of the online gaming angle, but its nice to know so many people on here dig the Final Fantasy scene. Rock on ladies and gents, rock on... I'm currently trying to Platinum 13 on the PS3, but I have 5 marks to kill, and 7 to 5 star before that. I fear it may take a while, especially with GOW3 nagging at me as an easy platinum and the potential of trading in SSIV for Super Street Fighter IV... I'm a sucker I know...
Hey just wanted to bump up the thread:
1) Because FF is amazing and nobuo uematsu is a musical genius
2) Because FF14 has an official release date of 09/22/2010
You can check out the website at http://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/
I played all of the FFs save for the japanese 3 and 4.
And I know I'm late so I wanna catch up by saying 6 is my all time favorite. Kefka is THE most psychotic villain ever. I mean he murdered thousands with glee, practically destroyed the entire world, and then played god in a tower!
8 being my least favorite. The job system to get money, the battle system. Just all around not my cup of tea.

Downloading FFXIV beta as we speak.
I've played every FF there is too. Haven't beaten them all, but played them. FFVI is my favorite as well. That game is nuts story-wise.
You got into the beta?!?! I'm so jealous!
I've been racking my brains trying to think of a lalafell name. I got a couple of good ones, but I'll tell ya after it opens. Tarutaru was so much easier. like Johntravoltaru and such. though my name on FF11 was Toth. Cause that's the BLM's name in the instruction booklet for FF1.

I got in and was SO PSYCHED yesterday after my two day download to finally get in and try it. I got to the character creation...
After I made my guy, I got a connection error, and was booted to the start screen.
There was a network error, and because of that error, they cancelled the test for yesterday through the 17th.. 🙁
I don't think the end... but I think I remember them saying they would be taking a break for a bit from the series after XIV.

I like ff7 its by far my favorite of the one's I've played although its making me very mad at the moment. I'm trying to breed a gold chocobo it is very frustrating. I have a blue female and every time I try to get a male green it either comes out a green female or just a yellow one but im gonna stay positive

FF VIII was my favorite. I loved the story line and the music was gorgeous. When this song played it blew my mind. Of course I'm also a very girly girl and it was a love story.
My sister who isn't has girly hated it because it was a love story.

The only FF games I really and truly loved were VI and VIII. I was disappointed in seven. It's one of those games that could've been awesome but for a few critical mistakes. First, they needed to pay their translators more. The translation was garbled enough that it was hard to make sense of the dialogue and plot. The other was the graphics: They touted them to be amazing, showed all these awesome scenes in ads... but the scenes they showed were just cutscenes. The actual game looked more like legos. Bah.
Nine had excellent gameplay under the hood, but the characters were ridiculous and uninteresting.
Ten.... no.
12.. I should've put more time in that one. It didn't hook me, but perhaps I didn't give it enough chance. That, to me, was the game wehre they gave up and made it like World of Warcraft.
I liked VIII. The characters were interesting enough, the graphics attempted to be realistic, and I was neutral-or-better to the junction system. I did rather like the summoning sequences. "Train train, take me away!" The one thing I could've done without was the entire Laguna subplot. I wish they'd re-written it to be unnecessary.
I wish I could've kept Edea in my party. She was so much more badass than anyone else 😀.

Legos!! Thank you! I'm glad someone else thinks that!
VI to me was the single best one. The characters were interesting, and the world in conjunction with the story had that proper epic feel to it.

Necro bump for the win!
Surprised I was the first reply to this and how much things have changed for me on that front. So far I've played V through X-2 and the ones I don't like I really don't like but the ones I do I adore and can play multiple times without getting tired of it.
I'll start out saying I disliked V, X and X-2. In V the characters were boring and I didn't really get why I was doing anything. They literally introduce the crystals, throw you into a party and say "You're the heroes, go save people and shit.. oh and bad things are gonna happen if you fail". X was just an odd experience, it felt so little like a Final Fantasy game that the first time I saw it I didn't believe it was one, it was a visually beautiful game but that's about it for me. X-2 felt so much like a fan service it hurt, I don't understand why they chose to give that universe a sequel. The battle system from X and X-2 weren't as good either, it was annoying to have the turns laid out for you. Any fans of X and X-2 feel free to give me a different perspective on it because I'd like to hear about it from people who actually like it.
Even though I have yet to finish VI I'm thinking it'll either be my favourite or tied. I like the gameplay, it's good old turn-based JRPG combat although having to hit accept on an item twice to use it was annoying as hell at first. The story and characters are phenomenal, I find myself really attached to the characters (except Gau, the blue mage characters have always been kind of throw-aways in my opinion for some reason) and the world you're in is so interesting. The things I liked the most was how it feels like it's following a play structure, sure Terra is the "main character" but she isn't the essential focus of the game, you take time to observe all the characters and their own struggles.
VII... I'll say that I appreciate what it did for FF, it was a HUGE jump for the series and for what it was, it wasn't all that bad. I do feel like it's overrated because the characters were pretty shallow and the story was convoluted.
VIII has a lot of nostalgia for me, my first FF game and I think my first JRPG all together although Legend of Dragoon might have that spot. I do like the story (especially when it opens up to the "Squall is dead" theory), it plays well and the actual combat itself is a huge improvement from VII. The characters felt pretty 1 dimensional for me though, there wasn't much about the characters except what they show at face value. The junction system was terribly broken, it was confusing at first but as soon as you understood it and were fine with drawing like your life depended on it you could be extremely OP by the time you make it to Galbadia. The only enemy I died to was Omega Weapon because I was unaware that it could literally 1-shot you.
XI is my favourite right now, awesome story, world, characters, gameplay. Everything about it was perfect for me (aside from Quina... again blue mages). I've sunk so many hours into that game just exploring and learning everything I could because it was just such a great experience. The choice of making Zidane a thief was admittedly strange, he didn't act much like one aside from being a part of Tantalus. If there's any FF that deserves and HD remake or a sequel is FF IX.
The one thing I never mentioned about the individual games was the music and that's because it deserves to be spoken of on it's own. Nobuo Uematsu is a musical genius, the compositions he comes up with for these games are stellar. I think I've learned more final fantasy tracks on guitar than I know from any other group. My favourites have to be You are not Alone (FF IX) and Terra's Theme (FF VI), I get shivers every time I listen to or play them.
Long winded post but I never get to rant about these games, they are awesome and if you haven't checked any out I would highly suggest it. VII, VIII and III are available on steam right now, X just got an HD remake and hopefully IX is on it's way to steam as well.

I have played since the very first one (yes that makes me old). I really enjoyed all of them but if I had to pick a favorite it would have to be IX. I probably am in the minority on that pick but I just really enjoyed the story

Yes, I'm a huge Final Fantasy fan but I love some games and despise others.
For example, I absolutely LOVE FFIV, FFV, and FFVI!
FF Tactics (War of the Lions) was especially a favorite!
As for FFXIII, I cannot hate it ENOUGH! Ugh, absolute zero effort on World Building or game exploration.
Also the battle system was just, ugh, wwwhhhyyy...
As for Final Fantasy XV, I honestly don't know what to make of it. I mean, controlling just one character? It kinda gets boring after awhile.
I know that their currently remaking Final Fantasy VII and hope to god they don't go the FFXIII or FFXV route in the combat system.
I'd rather they do a combat system similar to Final Fantasy X.
One day though they'll consider remaking Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy VI and I pray to whatever gods there are that they remake them right!

Cool dude, try playing Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions on an emulator. In fact, you can find some hack software that makes the game super fun to play (aka give Ramza's Squire job class some useful abilities and such).
