For me it's
-
Final Fantasy Tactics
-
Final Fantasy VII
-
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?
That's a tough one. I'd have to say
VIII or Tactics are runner ups and switch with X and VI sometimes, too. I haven't finished either but loved what I played. I still need to finish XII, especially with all the people here putting it up in their top 3.
