Here are the other picks - 25 to 21, 20 to 16, 15 to 11, and 10 to 6, as chosen by fans in the Final Fantasy and RPG community." There's also a 'hidden gems' section in each part of the countdown, highlighting overlooked titles like Einhänder and Bahamut Lagoon - neat.

  1. FF7 was the total crap by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Troll

    that's the game that turned me off to the series. FF4 was the greatest console game ever. Maybe. Dragon Warrior 4 and Suikoden kick a whole lotta ass too.

  2. Fuck Mozilla by Mprx · · Score: -1, Troll
    I had a really long comment ready to post, but Mozilla crashed when I tried to preview it. I'm not typing it all again, so here's a summary of the main points.

    * FF9 should not be on the top 25 - horribly unoriginal, bad gameplay, bad characters.

    * FF8 is best in the series.

    * FF8 has best gameplay, no random encounters after getting Enc None (very early), no levelling up needed. Random encounters are bad, and an artifact of primitive technology of times past.

    * FF8 has best characters. Squall much more realistic than others. Play Rameses (an IF game) using Frotz to understand his character better.

    * FF6 is only good for the first half, gets very boring in World of Ruin. PC rpgs do no linearity better. FF6 should be ranked about 10th at best, not 1st.

    * FFX is underrated, should be much higher. Excellent story, only FF7 has better (although FF7 is quite bad at everything else)

    * Chrono Trigger is also overrated.
