Perhaps I’m the minority here, but FF7 is still my favorite Final Fantasy, even though it was the third I had played. Perhaps I’m missing the point by not having played the older games first, but I played FFIX and X before playing VII, and then went back to the older games. Call me a fanboy, but I just don’t see it as over rated. I can understand liking others better, but over rated? There have been many worse Final Fantasy games in my opinion. Anyhoo, that’s just my personal opinion. I’m with everyone else that you should play FFIX next, it’s a wonderful game!

I’ve never commented on this site before (for all my years of reading it regularly) but I will comment on this.

My vote is DEFINITELY on IX. It’s my second favorite Final Fantasy (first being VI, Dark Insane Jester Gods FTW) and one of my favorite games of all time, the music is some of the best in the whole FF Universe (especially the tearjerking Melodies of Life and one of my favorite boss themes: The Dark Messenger http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmYSy9U78Sc).

The story is very deep and the game is ULTRA-FILLED with fanservice and multiple direct nods to literally EVERY SINGLE NUMBERED FF. The wiki has a list of every one of them and what its referring to (which blew my mind to read). The fight with Garland has so much more meaning after I found out.

Yep, definitely IX. Incidentally, VIII is my absolute most HATED FF, even more than XIII… which says a lot considering I like Vanille about as much as The Master likes the constant drumming in his head.

You haven’t ever played IX? You’re in for a treat! Still my favorite video game…

lolololol! i think you meant, “did not encourage grinding at all” and was “pure strategy”. the monster’s and bosses levels were based on your party’s average level, so the more levels you gained, the harder the game became. oh, malboro is party level average +10? well fuck.

Also when I learned in FF8 how to max out all the best spells and be permanently invincible (Hero+Aura, or Knights of the Round), it officially made FF8 the most fun game, being able to infinitely dish out Limit Breaks without dying.
