....IX was decent.
Better than VII in many respects... ::dodges sniper fire::

I was talking about the Chocobo theme of X-2. The game itself could have been good, if there wasn't so much fanservice.

Seriously, Scan ver. 3 was made for perverted fanboys... <_<

Maybe the translation, but otherwise I'd have to disagree.

9 was good. Even if you don't think it was better than 7, it was defintley better than 8.

Bah. VIII was the best one period. VII had better character devlopment, but on the whole, I liked VIII's gameplay and plot more.

EDIT: Though, I will admit it felt really out of place as an FF game. FF games are just glorified books while VIII acctualy had some gameplay to it. Maybe Square shoulda made it another series.

The Junction System made that game interesting, but at the same time made it very BORING.

Well, I liked it in the fact that you could Junction certain things (Esuna) to make everyone godlike (Status Defence)

At least it did something unlike materia.

I hated the magic systems of both 7 and 8 with a passion I generally reserve for actual work.

I didn't mind junctioning magic to areas of offence/defence. What I did mind was having to draw magic from your opponents, as opposed to an MP based system. So I actually prefer materia w/ MP over junction w/ drawing magic despite the former being less complex. Though junction w/ MP would be the best combination of the two, IMO...

Agreed.

Edit: We have to put aside our differences, and realize that both FFVIII's and FFVII's magic systems really really stunk.

My favourites are IV, V, VII and IX. VIII wasn't too bad, but the characters grated on me (Rinoa especially).

I prefer actually learning magic permanently with MP over both...

True... I was only really comparing VII and VIII there, since people brought up the junction system and materia earlier.

IV is my personal favorite of all the FFs as far as the battle and magic systems go...

I like any magic system, as long as you keep the magic. Otherwise its cruel and taunting, laughing at me. WHY WON'T IT STOP LAUGHING?
