  1. VI is still the best... by solios · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Six is the Empire Strikes Back of the FF series, in my opinion - its' easily the best of the series- deepest (again, imo) character development, most compelling characters, most fluid combat system, one of the better magic systems... I spent hundreds of hours with it as a teenager and got so deep into it that I eventually hand corrected innacuracies in the strategy guide I'd purchased (when it had become apparent I'd missed a few things).

    Then VII came along, completely and utterly failed to be better than VI in any way (in fact, amping up to a high level pretty much every shortcoming of the series), and my high hopes for the future of RPGs were rapidly deflated.

    I spent somewhere around 250 hours with FF VI - multiple runthroughs and couching with friends who were playing the game. I couldn't stomach VII or VIII for any more than 40-50, and never replayed either - they'd lost the magic that made VI so compelling for me.
