So, which one?



I can't choose which one should I replay first.

The votes will decide the order too.

In about 12 hours I will consider this poll closed(I won't close it though)

Final Fantasy IX

1. It has the best score out of all the Final Fantasy games.
2. It has the best cast that features a lot of character growth. Some characters do develop more than others, but there's not a single character in this game that is bad (sans Quina).
3. Lindblum is my favorite city in any game ever.

I enjoyed those two games about the same. Which is a lot.

8 is pretty good, but the draw system gets worse with age. It really needs a remaster

So 8 is last. 7 and 9 are tied with 7 votes each, and while I could be playing both at the same time, I'd rather not.

But this is the problem. Being the best of the three is a good reason to be the first to play but also to be the last to play

I play FFT every other month, so, in theory, I already played FFT before the trilogy, and definitely will play it again after finishing the trilogy

If you're going to replay all of them, it may be better to start with 8 just to get it out of the way.

Man Quina was awesome. Didn't really have in my party, but some of that weird behavior... "lol I'm just gonna jump in this river and disappear from the story for several chapters for no reason"

I replayed all three last year going in order, really enjoyed VII, enjoyed VIII, and then didn't enjoy IX as much.

And I was someone who on my first play through many years ago loved IX, thought VIII was ok, and VII was good but overrated.

I'm not sure if my tastes have changed or if I was just burned out on PlayStation Final Fantasy RPGs by the time I got to IX on this go round.

I know my biases toward VII changed over the years as I could enjoy it now rather than worrying about whether it was overrated or not.

Then they remade that with FFXV. With a massive array of three entire spells!

FF8 gave you lots of different spells and I liked the junction system. It was different without being a massive step away from the series, like 11 and 12 were (the worst of the bunch).

Basically all the magic in FF8 was useless except for a few spells (Meltdown, Aura, and healing spells)

You have to do this absolutely ridiculous Rinoa Angel setup to get magic to do half as much damage as just spamming Lionheart with Aura.

Oh I liked the junction system, but the process of drawing spells over and over is archaic and tedious at best.

I enjoy the world it takes place in, Triple Triad and the soundtrack.

I wish it was all like disc one instead of getting hilariously stupid, though. It should have remained Political Fantasy 8.

I dunno. Even the beginning never roped me in. Just felt bored by everything. Which is weird cause both FFVII & IX started off strong. They jumped right into the story.

Hell no to the former. To the latter, idk, I always miss something stupid and end up not knowing what it was. And well, FFVII will never ever feel a 100% because spoilers

I get ya. My favorites are 4, 6 and 9. I don't like any of the FF games that came after 9, though.
