The only FF I like is IX.

I picked up a game called Whiplash in the discount bin at Wal-Mart yesterday, and while it's no technical marvel, it's pretty fun. You're a weasel who's chained to a rabbit, and you have to whip him around as your weapon. The goal of the game is to cost an evil company (who was experimenting on animals, and you escape from their grasp) alot of money and free animals. Some of the humour in the game is really funny. Well worth the $18 it cost me

Well, FF6 was the best FF game ever. Granted, FF7 was pretty good too though, and FF9 was ok.

I would have to say seven, in my opinion, was the best, followed by ten, and the original.

X. Good story, bad skill/magic system, horrible characters.

I liked the battle system, and the Sphere Grid wasn't THAT bad once you got used to it. It was the getting used to it that sucks.

I did like the battle system in it, though. It was fully turn-based, so you could actually take a minute to go grab a soda or something.

Auron was indeed one of the most badass characters in Final Fantasy history, though.

That's because he graphically looked nice. I still think Kefka from FFIII(VI) was the most badass. I mean, he poisoned a river. Who the hell does that?! That's right, badasses.

Yeah, he was cool. I actually really liked Wakka, but maybe that's just because I love his voice actor (and Kimahri's) John DiMaggio. He does Bender and MANY additional voices on Futurama, and is probably one of my favorote VAs. I also really liked the idea of using a ball as a weapon like that.

Indeed. I have found Mr. DiMaggio's work to be among my favorite voice acting. I hear he's voicing General Grevious in Star Wars Episode 3 as well.

And am I the only one who does not understand why everybody likes Kefka? o_O

Let them talk about Kefka, please! I'm sick and tired of hearing how great Sephiroth is. I'd rather hear about Kefka than anything FF7 related.

FFVI is my favorite FF game, so I really have nothing against Kefka.

Sigh...because he's got that sweet laugh, he poisons a river wiping out an entire castle, and he's hard as HELL when you fight him at the end. He's also a psycho clown guy, which is sweet in itself.

Plus Kefka was the first Squaresoft villain to actually have somewhat of more detail personality. Their previous end bosses were all "I'm all powerful and here to destroy the world! HA HA HA!". With Kefka you actually get to see him develop into a fully fledged psycho more and more and you can see how he builds his career from ground up essentially. Then again, it's just a small part of that game's greatness. Nothing wrong with Sephiroth either, but FF7 has WAY too many fanboys.

You got to be kidding, he was one of the easiest FF-bosses I could think of. The fight itself was very cool though.
