Final Fantasy VI is better than Final fantasy VII. If we need to go there. I like each one Up to Final Fantasy X and XII. XIII is where it went off the rails. And now they are bogged down in remake of VII I have no idea how many millions of dollars and how many years it will take to remake, and how many games.
The series means a lot to me, and I love the music of Nobuo Uematsu.
Final Fantasy IX is also one of my favorites. I do like VIII and VII. VI was legendarily good on Super Nes and so was Final Fantasy IV. Released as Final Fantasy II and III on US SNES.
