RE: Your Favourite Final Fantasy?

Don't we have to play them all to pick the best?
I've played FFVII and FFVIII... Started playing FFIX on the PSone emulator, but got too many distractions and never picked it up again..
As for the newer ones... I only have a PC, so if it requires too much of the hardware to emulate, I don't play it.
The older ones, I -> VI.... they all look the same, I played
Knights of Xentar and all of those Final Fantasies look the same as KoX, but without the extra incentive to play and discover everything...
Between VII and VIII.... well, fanboys will tell you VII is the best of the best, because of something unexpected happening at about 75~80% of the game... WOOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWO gamegascmic WOWOWOW... -.-' f'in fanboys!
Me, I started with VIII, and was suckered in by the cutscenes. The beauty of the renders was astonishing, for the time, and was the precursor for the Final Fantasy Movie (not that the stories have anything to do with each other, just the graphics... a bit...).
Given that it was the first, and has beautiful cutscenes, my favorite will always be FFVIII.
I haven't seen anything after FFIX, so while I believe that they've managed to come up with even more astonishing cutscenes, I don't have the information to judge any of those games.
