GAF's own Godwin's Law goes something like

As a GAF RPG discussion grows longer, the probability of ranking Final Fantasy games approaches 1

After seeing this happen within moments in the Yuji Horii thread, I figured we need an official thread for doing this, as to keep the peace and conversation flowing in other RPG threads. Call people names, insult intelligences, hate on 13 or love 12. Do whatever crazy thing your hearts desires. But be sure to

RANK

Here's my list, and remember, it's the only "correct" one. But let's still try to have fun discussing!

5 > 8 > 10-2 > 10 > 7 > 13 > 4 > 6 > 2 > 3 >1 >9 > 12

Due to BocoDragon's demand, I will tally them.

RULES
I will only tally a poster once. If you edit your post after I tally them, what you said when I counted your votes sticks.
I will count every time GAF adds a new page to the thread. (100 posts)
Only 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10-2, 11, 12, 13 will count. I won't count FFT or other spinoffs.
If you do not rank a game, it will just receive no points.
Try your best to use something like I did above. Or at least easy to understand. If you have hundreds of > before the game you think sucks the most, it will still be last. It won't be negative or anything, so save your > presses.
Roman numerals are banned.

[godhandiscen]

Tactics > 7 > 6 > 9 > 8 > 11 > 4 > 10 > 12 > 13

Those are all the ones I have played.

[Shalashaska]

Only gonna rank the ones I've played, I plan on getting around to all of them at some point.

8 > Tactics > 7 > 12 > 13 > 10 > 3 > 9 > 4

8 was my first FF game so I had no preconception of Final Fantasy games and why I probably like it more than most. The Junction system made sense while the materia system made no sense to me when I first played it :lol

[BocoDragon]

1. Final Fantasy VI

2. Final Fantasy VIII

3. Final Fantasy XII

4. Final Fantasy Tactics

5. Final Fantasy VII

6. Final Fantasy IX

7. Final Fantasy IV

8. Final Fantasy V

9. Final Fantasy XIII

10. Final Fantasy X-2

11. Final Fantasy XI

12. Final Fantasy X

13. Final Fantasy III

14. Final Fantasy I

15. Final Fantasy II



Edit: for the record I posted this before RK's rules. I REFUSE to edit out my roman numerals or FFT! :D

[Wolves Evolve]

How the hell is this an official thread? Of what?

[archnemesis]

Finally! I've been waiting for this thread.

1. 6
2. 9
3. 10
4. 7
5. 4
6. 5
7. 8
8. 13
9. 1
10. 10-2
11. 2
12. 12
13. 3

Never played XI. RK, are you going to tally up the votes?

Edit: Tactics is awesome and I'd put it right after VI, if it was allowed. Crisis Core, Dirge of Cerberus, Dissidia, Revenant Wings, and Tactics Advance are all decent games and worth playing if you're a fan of the series.

[BocoDragon]

RK, are you going to tally up the votes?

IMO you should, RK.

In the past I have heard people say things like "Everyone on GAF loves XII" and "everyone on GAF hates XII".. and I'd love to see some science dropped on the subject.

[Shadow780]

yay listwarzzz

VI = VII = Versus?! > X > VIII > X-2 > V > IV > IX > XIII > XII > III > I > II

[Mako_Drug]

I haven't finished all the ones I've played, but they're on the list because my experience of them is usually what inhibits their completion.

X > VII > IX > VI > XIII > V > XII > VIII > X-2

Edit: 10 > 7 > 9 > 6 > 13 > 5 > 12 > 8 > 10-2

[Jerk]

X-2 > FFV > FFXII:I

As far as I am concerned, there are no other Final Fantasies worth the electrons needed to list them.

P.S. Tactics is too good to be on this list.

P.P.S. How long before duckroll locks this?

[kinoki]

12 > 9 > 6 > 7 > 4 > 8 > 5 > 10

And the rest I either haven't played or haven't played enough to form an opionon enough to rank.

[Teknoman]

So far:

1. IV
2. VI
3. IX
4. XIII
5. XI
6. V
7. VII
8. X
9. III
10. VIII
11. I
12. XII *
13. II

*XII would have been much higher if it had a closer to X combat system, yet able to see enemies on screen. Also if the story didnt feel like it started to drag near the end.

Mystic Quest is cool, needs a remake. FF Tactics War of the Lions > Classic FF Tactics.
FFTA2 > FFTA1

Crystal Bearers and Chocobo Dungeon Wii need sequels. XIV will most likely replace XIII as number 4.

[Aeana]

It would be nice if people used this thread instead of turning every single other RPG thread into an FF ranking thread. (._. )

I never bother with this stuff, but I'll go ahead this time.

6, 12, 5, 7, 10, 13, 10-2, 9, 8, 3, 4, 2, 1

[RevenantKioku]

IMO you should, RK. In the past I have heard people say things like "Everyone on GAF loves XII" and "everyone on GAF hates XII".. and I'd love to see some science dropped on the subject.

Sure. And everyone who votes for FFT or says it's good will count as a -1 vote to the game of my choice!

[ULTROS!]

I played 1 - 6 late so my opinion might vary:

10 > 9 > 7 > 6 > 8 > 4 > 13 > 5 > 1 > 2 > 10-2 > 12

Although, FF13 had my most favorite battle system in the FF series...

[Joey Fox]

7>6>4>1>9>8>10

That's all I got hombres!

[Negator]

God Tier
1) FF 5
2) FF 6
3) FF Tactics

Good Tier
4) FF 10
5) FF 9
6) FF 4
7) FF 7

Meh Tier
8) FF 1
9) FF 13
10) FF 12

Shit Tier
11) FF 8
12) FF 3
13) FF 2

[BocoDragon]

It would be nice if people used this thread instead of turning every single other RPG thread into an FF ranking thread. (._. )

Hopefully it will have the same effect as the 9/11 conspiracy thread: keeping the nuttery confined to one thread.

Sure. And everyone who votes for FFT or says it's good will count as a -1 vote to the game of my choice!

That's such a weird opinion! :lol But you're still cool. Rank em!

[matt404au]

9 > 7 >>> 8 >>> 10 >>> 12 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 13

[miksar]

12 > 9 > 6 > 4 > 5 > 7 > 3 > 1 > 10 > 10-2 > 8 > 2

Still haven't played 13 and don't think it's a good idea.

[cosmicblizzard]

7>8>6=10>9>13>4>1>3>5>2>12

[RevenantKioku]

I guess I'll tally it every page (100 posts), then.

[Synless]

VI > X > VIII > VII > XIII > IV > V > IX > XII (debatable placement until I'm done with my second playthrough) > I > III > II > XI (sorry online FF will come in last no matter what).

[DidntKnowJack]

And to think I almost made the mistake of posting in the Unofficial Rank Your Final Fantasy thread last week.

4, 6, 9, 7, 8, 10, and who cares about the others.

[GrumpyAlien]

It hurts my head thinking about it, but ok.

1. IX
2. VIII
3. V
4. XII
5. X
6. X - 2
7. VII
8. VI
9. IV
10. III
11. I
12. II
13. XIII (just finished my third playthrough a few weeks ago too...sorry XIII)

I guess XI fits somewhere on the list, but I dunno where.

[Glass Soldier]

Just including those I feel confident about passing judgement

1. Final Fantasy 4
2. Final Fantasy 5
3. Final Fantasy 7

Edit: Happy now? >:(

So far: 1. IV 2. VI 3. IX 4. XIII 5. XI 6. V 7. VII 8. X 9. III 10. VIII 11. I 12. XII * 13. II

You're a gentleman and a scholar.

[Pai Pai Master]

Final Fantasy XI: Chains of Promathia > Final Fantasy XI: Rise of the Zilart > Final Fantasy XI: Treasures of Aht Urhgan > Final Fantasy XI > Final Fantasy XI: Wings of the Goddess >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>> all other Final Fantasy games

[BocoDragon]

It's pretty amazing how little consensus there is on these games :P

[suzu]

6, 8, 12, 7, 9, 10-2, 4, 5, 13, 11, 3, 10

Never played 1 & 2.

[Jerk]

Nice to see FF12 not being at/near the bottom of every list.

[Palmer_v1]

Vagrant Story > FF6 > FFT > FF12 > FF7 > FF9 > FFTA2 > FF10 > FF11 > FFTA > FF13 > FF10-2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> FF8

I'm only ranking the ones I've actually played and beaten. Any chance someone will tally all of our votes?

Edit: Forgot 10 and 10-2.

Edit again: Stupid roman numeral ban

[HappyBivouac]

I'm not very well suited for this as I've not played enough of them, despite being a sort of fan of the series. I think I'm more a fan of the series itself and its staples and such than I am a fan of most of the individual games. I'm including the ones I've played at least halfway through. Currently roughly halfway through FF6.

FF11 > FF9 > FFCC > FF7 > FF12 = FF6 > FF10

Note that the only game on that list that I have negative feelings toward is FF10. I loathe everything about that game except the combat/progression. In my opinion, they could've stripped that game down to those two components alone and it would've been a better game. 12 is awesome. I love the combat, I love gambits and I love the story for the first 2/3 of the game. So don't misunderstand it being near the bottom.

[Hahaq8]

FF9>FF7>FF10>FF8>FF4>FFX-2>FF3>FF13>FF12 .

SE i want my FF5 and 6 remake !

[Jerk]

FF9>FF7>FF10>FF8>FF4>FFX-2>FF3>FF13>FF12 . SE i want my FF5 and 6 remake !

Hear, Hear!

[CO_Andy]

6 > Tactics > 4 > 12 > 1 > 10 > 7 > 13 > 9 > Mystic Quest > 5 > 3 > 2 > 8 > After Years

[Night_Trekker]

6>4>5>7>3>8>1

Been a while since I paid FF any attention.

[BocoDragon]

6, 8, 12, 7, 9, 10-2, 4, 5, 13, 11, 3, 10 Never played 1 & 2.

Your ranking is damn close to mine. Thumbs up!

[THE Caffeinated]

X > VII > XII > IX > VIII > XIII > X-2 > IV > VI > V > III > I > II

Boom.

[ULTROS!]

Hmmm.. I have yet to see someone put FFXIII on top of their list. :P

[GhaleonQ]

9>6>12>3>5>2>11>8>1>10>4>13>7

Or:

9>6>12: Grimoire Of The Rift>12>12: White Dreams>12: War Of The Lions>12: Vagrant Story>12: Revenant Wings>3>5>2>11>8>1>10: Eternal Calm>10>4>4: Return Of The Moon>13>7: Crisis Core>7>7: Dawn Of Cerberus>7: Advent Children>7: Before Crisis

IX is my 3rd favorite game of all-time.

[cosmicblizzard]

Roman numerals are banned.

Fine, I'll edit ya crazy bastard.

[Enk]

This was a harder ranking than I thought it would be. I actually liked pretty much all the Final Fantasies in their own way.

1. VI
2. V (pretty much tied with VI for me)
3. VII
4. IV
5. I
6. IX
7. X
8. III
9. VIII
10. XII
11. XIII
12. II
13. XI

[BocoDragon]

Fine, I'll edit ya crazy bastard.

I shall NOT.

[RevenantKioku]

Hmmm.. I have yet to see someone put FFXIII on top of their list. :P

It probably won't get many top votes. I'll just be sad if GAF is too dumb to realize it's better than 12.

Lol, and people are throwing in Tactics games, FF11 expansions and

9>6>12: Grimoire Of The Rift>12>12: White Dreams>12: War Of The Lions>12: Vagrant Story>12: Revenant Wings>3>5>2>11>8>1>10: Eternal Calm>10>4>4: Return Of The Moon>13>7: Crisis Core>7>7: Dawn Of Cerberus>7: Advent Children>7: Before Crisis

I'm not even sure what some of this means.

[Tears For Fears]

FF9>FF6>list ends.

[cosmicblizzard]

Hmmm.. I have yet to see someone put FFXIII on top of their list. :P

There was that Darthvader guy with the Lightning avatar, but I think he's banned.

[CO_Andy]

No love for Spirits Within?

[Jerk]

There was that Darthvader guy with the Lightning avatar, but I think he's banned.

He was clearly insane anyway.

[Glass Soldier]

Lol, and people are throwing in Tactics games, FF11 expansions and

Fine then >:(

[Shadow780]

Hmmm.. I have yet to see someone put FFXIII on top of their list. :P

That would be unfortunate.
