CloseNot sure I can pick a favorite! But I picked 5 because it's the only one I find myself going back to once a year. 4, 6 and 7 may trigger some extremely intense nostalgia for me, and their soundtracks can nearly move me to tears. I love them for that reason alone. But gameplay wise, 5 has so much to offer in terms in replayability. The game is just so damn fun.

I think Snow gets a biiit of a bad rap. I mean, most of his more annoying moments are because he's deliberately trying to act like nothing is wrong, for the sake of the people he's trying to look after.
Yeah, he's not that bad. I just find his *dude* qualities amusing.
Mystic Quest was the first final fantasy game i played. It still has a special place in my heart for having a difficulty level that was very suitable for kid me.
Then my favorite favorite is IX, mostly because it was the only one that truly made me feel i was playing a fantasy. 7 and 8 had too many nods to realism that turned me off at some point.

Woulda gone with 9, but I saw Tactics was indeed on the list and couldn't resist. Runner-up mention for 3.

4 will always hold a super special place in my heart, despite some major flaws that get in the way of some of the really cool parts.
Like how Cecil stops being an interesting character the second he hits the top of mount ordeal (excepting one other scene in the remake), leaving Kain to carry on the mantle of actually interesting character, despite like 20 morality shifts (/slight exaggeration) which gets a bit tiresome.
I have little experience with FF tactics outside of the portable ones which were pretty good. I played the original a bit at a friend's place one time, and it seemed extremely harsh even at the start of the game (Not that I should complain, FFTA was almost pathetically easy if you had any idea what you were doing). I might get back to it at some point, now that I've cut my teeth on a lot lot more turn-based strategy.

VI because of how clear my nostalgia goggles are. It was the sixth FF game I played by chance (FF Legend 2, then FF Adventure, then FFMQ, then FFL3, then IV, then VI, and I'm aware fully half that list belongs in the SaGa/Seiken series) but it was the first one I really, really loved. I liked FFIV a lot, but it had pretty clunky dialogue and I never cared much about the story; VI seemed extremely well written to my smol brane and I really, really got into it.
The next I played was FFV, emulated, and it nestled on it to second place. I love-love-love the job system. It was just the right combination of balanced and abusable for a single player game. After that was FFT. I liked that game so much I bought a Playstation just to play it (and only it). I've since replayed it the most, I think, thanks to the power of PHONE EMULATORS. It's a game that's so close to being perfect it's imperfections really shine sometimes, but I love them all.
FFV and FFVI also have music that have a fucking effect on me, and I can't deny that. FFT also has amazing music, but it doesn't hit me the same way those crummy SNES sound samples do.

Were emulators just around way earlier than I thought? A whole bunch of people list emulated games among their first Final Fantasy games in this thread, I didn't even know emulators were a thing before I'd played, what, ten games from this list?
NES and SNES Emulators have been around since the late 90s. If you had a computer that could handle them, that is.
Boy I don't miss the days of FFIV at <10 FPS and a 2 second sound delay.

I was emulating NES/SNES games in the early 2000's, personally. PS1 emulation came a bit later, but then I got a PS2 and played them with Codebreaker codes more legitimately. It was within the two last years or so that I relegated PS1/PS2 games to emulation. At least I have the original disks, though. I can't say the same about having the original cartridges of the NES/SNES games I played back then!
The very first game I emulated was KanjiHack's translation of RPG Maker 2 for the SNES and then expanding to a few others. I remember having to hit one of the numbers (8?) to toggle some emulator setting to make certain games display correctly like the editor menus in RM2. Also the very long time emulators didn't correctly emulate the SNES SPU because the SNES' version had a bug in it so when emulator authors implemented the spec you got the WAAAAAAA WAGHOOOOOOOO AAAAAAAAAA sounds instead of stuff like wind in FF6 and CT.
I never really liked FF too much.
Which made for this really awkward explaining of "I like stuff n jrpgs, yknow. stuff like Final Fantasy! Only, I don't really like Final Fantasy!" : D
Chocobos Dungeon for Wii was really neat n cute tho. I liked it.

Nothing reveals Humanity so well as the games it plays. A game of betrayal, where the most suspicious person is brutally murdered? How savage.

Yea, Chocobo Dungeon is awesome. It's like Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, but Final Fantasy. Also you're a cute chocobo.
Chocobo Tales for the DS was also pretty cool, with the pop-up book theme and all the fairy tale minigames. With again the added benefit of being a cute chocobo.

That was my second favourite Chocobo game, right after Chocobo Racing. My friend and I played Chocobo Racing to the point of insanity. Beating the hardest setting with the slowest character.

What RPGs do you actually like then?
I can totally understand not being into JRPGs, and not being into Final Fantasy as a consequence of that. But the whole Final Fantasy franchise has a broad enough selection of styles of JRPG, with high production values, that I'm kind of surprised if someone who's generally a fan of JRPGs doesn't like any of them.

I liked the soundtrack of chocobo racing a lot when i was younger.
Dude, it was the best. I still love it. When I hear FF tracks it was based on, my mind jumps to the track layout.

I mean, IV was alright I guess? I finished it at least.
And how rude to say no other RPG could be fun just because you are not into FF o.o Ok, yer saying that, sorry^^
I never really got into em, I wanted to try IX maybe sometime again, but .. they never really caught my interest?
Yes, the production values are incredibly high - I just don't really care about them alone. I want something with heart. And they just never really got that for me, as much as I could see the appeal for others, as strange as that may sound. I remember playing FF X and wondering when the game was gonna really start only to then realize I was already half-way through. XII was neat too, but I just .. couldn't feel it? The graphics were top notch, free exploration, details, full orchestra soundtrack, and .. it just all felt kinda empty. It's a strange feeling.
Niche ones got me better. May sound strange, and it was to me too, but yeah. It just didn't catch me.
As a whole, I LOVE Shin Megami Tensei. And otherwise, some Tales are nice (I liked Symphonia, especially the second one), the first Shadow Heart was amazing, and some stuff here and there like Radiant Historia (love it).
By now I don't look for JRPGs as much anymore (time and I realize I am picky), but I do appreciate a good one. Even quirky stuff like the Mario RPGs haha. I haven't played 'em all tho.
Edit: Also

Speaking of slimes, since the "mysterious dungeon" series came up, I actually found the Dragon Warrior version of that on playstation to be my favorite. It's called Torneko: The Last Hope.
