Top 15 Best Final Fantasy Games

280   6.9  

Im a sucker for FF VII and Dirge of Cerberus, while not being great as a shooter combines an intriguing story and one of FF VII's most bad-ass characters.

406   7.5  

Though I don't rate it as highly as other FF titles i think XIII still has a lot to offer in terms of a good story and a fast paced, intense battle system. The characters are a bit hit and miss.

280   6.9  

The first two games in one enhanced package for the GBA. It's a great game to discover what made Final Fantasy so great and popular in the first place.

138   7.9  

The psp remake of FF Tactics is a great strategy game and deserves to be on this list for its great story and fun, addictive gameplay.

54   8.8  

While not the first FF game to have changable jobs for its characters it certainly does it the best.

1034   8  

One of the biggest love/hate games in the series. I loved it but HATED squall as the main character.

57   8  

You know what its pretty darn good. Story is okay but gameplay is once again awesome and lots of stuff to do. A lot more of a tradtional FF title than XIII.

42   8.9  

Great beat em up game and so much to do/collect. Takes all the best elements of the FF series and applies them to a fighter. The story isn't fantastic but there are some neat interactions between characters from different games. Plus duodecim contains the whole original game.

7   7.4  

XII was massive, beautiful and epic. Can't say I loved the battle system all that much but the story and characters (minus Vaan) were excellent.

264   8.1  

Not often do I find myself getting into the story of a game so much and after playing FF VII, Crisis Core's story was something I really enjoyed. The battle system is great and Zack is a great main character who you'll grow to love a whole lot more than Cloud.

FF IX brought the series back to it's fantasy roots after a few sci-fi fantasy games before it. It epitomizes everything that makes a great Final Fantasy with gameplay, music, and storyline all top notch.

Things just kept getting better for final fantasy after the psx era with FFX the first PS2 game for the series. Very good, emotional story with great characters.

Many older fans of Final Fantasy regard six as the best game in the series. It was my second game in the series I'd played after 4 and was and still is a great game. It has a huge cast of characters and the usual atb system, plus KEFKA. Love that evil clown dude.

The definitive FFIV game featuring the After Years as well as the main game. A great simple storyline and the first atb battle system made FFIV the first truly special Final Fantasy game.

When it comes to FF games the biggest, most recognizable and in my opinion the best is FF VII. It stunned with it's 3D graphics and CGI cutscenes and has the best ensemble of characters in FF history. If you haven't played FF VII and you love RPGs then I suggest you get it now.
