I've always been fond of RPG's. I practically grew up playing them during the golden years of the PS1 and PS2. As a result it isn't much of a surprise that I ended up tackling every Final Fantasy game that happened to be released for those two consoles. My first experience with a Final Fantasy game was with FF7, which proved to be an excellent introduction to the series and kept me entertained for quite some time. It isn't my favourite FF game, though - FF9, FF12 and FF Tactics appealed to me much more as they're almost specifically tailored to my tastes. The latter two in particular. A special mention goes to Vagrant Story since it's set in Ivalice and is essentially part of the FF12 and FF Tactics experience.
I've also gone back and played some of the older FF games, which also proved to be entertaining in their own way. FF6 was incredible, especially since it fleshed out all of the main characters in a memorable manner. I didn't get around to playing FF11 due to being distracted by other MMO's, but I suppose I'm making up for that now by playing FF14! FF13 didn't do much for me, though - it felt too linear and the only redeeming quality for me happened to be Jihl Nabaat given how intriguing she came across as compared to the main cast of characters. I'm hoping that future FF games go back to the roots of fantasy rather than gritty modern/futuristic realism.
