I'd say VII is the best due to the amazing golden saucer place in which i played for over a year and the fact Sephiroth and his sword were amazing. VIII was very good also except the junctioning system which was basicly a british t.v with a chinese instruction manual. I'm currently playiong X (10) which iv'e found 2 be good except the sphere grid as i have to waste time going bk and filling in bits iv'e missed, if u have 10 then u will understand. So all in all Final fantasy is something that u can do and talk about till ur death day and then give it 2 ur kids cause it is amazing and if i wasn't so lazy i'd write a letter asking them to take out 7 and 8 on ps2.
