For me it's

  1. Final Fantasy Tactics

  2. Final Fantasy VII

  3. Final Fantasy XI

The three games I keep coming back to in the franchise.

Tactics has the best writing imo as well as gameplay.

Visually speaking VII's aesthetic and music are peak FF.

And then when it comes to getting lost in the lore and world of a virtual game, I like XI.

Granted all 3 share similar themes like good writing, music, gameplay, etc. but those are my standouts.

How about you?

    Mystic Quest, Crystal Chronicles: My Life as King, and World of Final Fantasy, because I am 5 years old.

    OK, real answer is the boring Elder Millennial Who Grew Up With an SNES staples: 4, 6, and 7, but not necessarily in that order. And I do genuinely miss that WiiWare My Life As King city builder/hero management game sometimes because it was very chill. But otherwise, yeah. Death to Shinra, Kefka gets an Atma Weapon/Offering combo applied directly to the face, and ROBOT SPACESHIP WHALE FROM THE MOOOOOOOOON MOTHERFUCKERS

    Edit: FF1 Pixel Remaster isn't half bad, either. It removes a lot of the tediousness from the original, which, yeah, that cuts the playtime down by around 60%, but it's possible to actually finish the game without wanting to jab your own eyes out with knitting needles, which is nice.
