FF 8 is the best final fantasy by far
FFXV is the worst AAA game of the ps4 generation
FFXVI is NOT FF

Square Enix has done it for me. Final Fantasy 16 is the greatest Action RPG i have ever played

I don't raid at all. The fights are too choreographed for my taste. 100% story and interior decorating for me.Sorry
Just not a fan of the raid community and all the drama surrounding it

Never had drama in any FFXIV raid or static. Sounds more like a you issue if you keep running into that.

Best thing you can do, A friend of mine is hardcore into raiding in MMOs, so I end up getting some second hand knowledge and explanations from him, and everything he's ever told me made me less likely to ever get into XIV's raids
Curious what he told you. Is he on the US servers? The JP servers are super chill and productive. Most people are raiding with friends/FC in a static. I used to sub in as tank when needed without any issue. Raids and Trials are all about memorizing the order of doing things. You only really die to mechanics done incorrectly. The fights are usually piss easy by the time they reach the duty finder for solos.

Yeah, US servers, I forget which datacenter, either Tiamat or Bahamut?? I got bad memory so excuse me.
It's mostly drama surrounding players not doing their part and being kept because they're close to the leader and overall drama because player bad grrrr

I mean cool, you’re enjoying it, I’m personally enjoying Bayonetta 2 it’s one of the best action games I have ever played along with the 1st Bayonetta, Nintendo has done it again

I have a Chocobo fetish. Going so far as to have a priest marry me and a chocobo doll.

I would agree but it should be Falcom makes better JRPGs
Atlus just makes SMT and Persona games nowadays. I wish they had more Franchises

While I don't love every Final Fantasy, I haven't met an entry in the series that I did not at least like.

VI and IX are overrated.

8 is underrated, 9 is overrated.
Going from triple triad to tetra master was the biggest downgrade in franchise history.

FFIX is vastly overrated. Lots of us who were pissed at Square for fudging FFVIII so badly then decided to champion pseudo-medieval fantasy settings with super deformed mini-moe characters. It's just not that interesting of a game, sorry.
Love me some FF7 but we all know, in our heart of hearts, the moment when Final Fantasy as a franchise hit its peak:
Nomura's designs are often stupid, but FFX is simply a work of art. What a great game, though of course in typical FF fashion it fumbles the ending.
That said, the best FF is of course Tactics. Possibly the greatest JRPG of all time.

How can you be so correct in just one post?
On another note, I’ll admit I had really high hopes for FF XII. Being set in Ivalice, there’s no way the game was going to be bad. Then we got what we got. Which, for me, XII is a top 5 Final Fantasy game, but the struggles the game had during the development show. Vayne should have been the ultimate villain, but they anime’d the heck out of his design at the end. It was baffling.
Ivalice deserves another go at it. Vagrant Story, and Tactics are both masterpiece’s, we need another game in that universe.

From the FF's I've played, mainly PSX and PS2 era, I always felt the writing was off, dialogues cheesy and character motives vague.

Final Fantasy died for me after part IX, the rest of the series has been much of a husk with the occasional passable game and or fun spin off title. Honestly the main tipping point for me was when they started adding numbers at the end of their numbers (XIII 1-3 Imma looking at you).

I tried to replay FFXII and it was just really boring. I think this is a more controversial opinion now than when it came out but yea I don’t think it’s a very good game.
On the flip side I think FFVIII is really good and sadly overlooked.

I'm a fan of Final Fantasy- Tactics, III, VI, XI and VII Remake Integrade
I've never been a fan of Final Fantasy VII, was never a fan of the original story and the dialog.
Blitzball kill any enjoyment I had with Final Fantasy X.

You have my curiosity. What would your top 5 be?I’m not sure IX would be in my top 5 Final Fantasy games

to be honest I haven’t thought about it in a while but I just never loved IX as much as everyone else, possibly because VII was my first FF so I didn’t have the nostalgia factor that IX drew on with it’s return to a more fantasy setting? at the same time though I do love IV and VI when I got to play them in the Anthology & Chronicles releases on PS1
it’s not like IX wouldn’t make my top 10 or anything crazy like that, it’s just definitely not top 3 or 4 to me though
1a/b. Final Fantasy VI/VII (it’s not set in stone which one is my #1 so I stopped trying to separate them)
3. IV
4. X
5. V/VIII/IX/XII? it might be IX but honestly no single game jumps into mind for this spot to me at any given time either, maybe XVI will change that?
I have a soft spot for VIII though

It sucks and hasn’t been good since 8.
Or maybe 8 was just the last one that came out when I was a teenager.

My controversial final fantasy opinion?
FFVIII is the only Final Fantasy that can stand toe to toe with FFVII.
