It's a bit complicated to explain, but the last bit of the game had royally pissed me off when I first played through it. I got stuck at the boss fight with Adel where Rinoa is attached to her chest for like 2 months. I couldn't beat it so I had rage quit the game for about a month and then beat her when I came back. Following that, I was not thrilled with the final castle, losing all of my stuff and having to spend like 3 hours trying to get it all back, only for the final boss fight to take another 2 hours to beat. Once I beat VIII I was just burnt out so I sold both off both VII and VIII to pay for Parasite Eve II. Boy, was that a mistake.

I enjoyed VIII much more the second time around in 2007 and I think knowing what to expect out of the finale this time around helped. However, it still wouldn't be a top pic for me. Here are my FF rankings:

1. VI
2. IX
3. IV
4. VII
5. V
6. XII
7. II
8. I
9. VIII
10. III
11. X
12. XI
13. XIII

I am not an online gamer, so I couldn't figure XI out and quit after 2 hours but I would still try it again well before I ever give XIII another second of my life.

At some point I do want to give XV a try. My wife loved it, though, XVI looks to be a more traditional Final Fantasy game, which has me intrigued.
