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?

    1. XII - I really like the world building and how you actually play basically a side character that gets swept up in political shenanigans
    2. Tactics - Mostly nostalgia but also Ivalice again.
    3. VII - Warts and all. The game really pushed the genre forward in a lot of ways. It's super ugly at points and very dated but still holds up in a lot of ways.

    I haven't played Tactics Advanced, VIII, IX, or X yet so it's subject to change. I also wanna revisit the first 6 pixel remasters at some point.
