Rogue Seraphim
I played Final Fantasy X when it first came out but have never finished it.
VI, VII and IX have been my favourite, VI in particular because it's steam-punky and IX because it's so reminiscent of the old final fantasy games.
VII will always have a place in my heart though, I was completely blown away by it when I bought it in '97.
IV will always be my absolute favourite, I think. Not only was it my first FF, but also the very first video game that was my own (and not my older brother's). I still haven't been able to get my hands on VII.
<thinks back> I've got Final Fantasy 4, is that the one that starts on a flying ship? The first game I bought myself was Pitfall II after I got an Atari 2600 for xmas with Breakout and Combat (I was sooo impressed)
After that it was home computers for me, C64, Amiga and I never got a another console until I bought a SNES and a Genesis (Megadrive to us) in 95, just when they were dying out. Then a PSX, N64, Saturn and briefly a PS2 and GBA. I've sold or got rid of most now and mainly stick to the PC now and play old games in <cough> other ways.
FF VII is getting rare now, but it's one of the best. Quite poorly translated and scripted at times, feels very clunky and the story is confusing unless you really keep with it, but it's just got an atmosphere and epic feel to it.
