Ironically, "Final" Fantasy was a huge hit all over Japan and such...it brought back their company and they decided to make more "Final" Fantasy's.

I forget which couple of websites I read this on...but it's a true thing.

I really liked IX(9) and X (10).
Then X-2 came out, people said that game blew, but I enjoyed the game also.
I've played 7, But I cant remember it all too well -.-' I know the characters but nothing else really.

Blitzball for the win.

I lost interest in FF12 and I just recently picked it back up and I really miss these kinds of RPGs. I don't get to play them enough anymore, the onl RPGs I've become interested in are the "choose your own destinry" kinds, like oblivion, fable, and two worlds that is coming out

Don't forget about Mass Effect, which is an RPG that's coming out on 360 from the same people that brought Knights of The Old Republic to the world. I've heard nothing but good things about that game, and it will probably be the next RPG that I play...

FF VIII was good but not great. VII, X, and XII defaintely rank above VIII on my list by a LONG shot.

Yea, XII was a great game.
Loved how the battles were and everything else.
If only if I could play XI (Online only). Need a credit card of course haha :P
And it's monthly pay, so meh.

And Fallout 3 by the same people as Oblivion =p
I never played KOTOR but only heard great things about it. And I had no idea Mass Effect was an RPG, it's hyped up so much that it just sounds like another big FPS coming out.

Final Fantasy X-2
Final Fantasy XI (I just own it right now for the sake of having it - I can't play it right now)
Final Fantasy XII

I don't have:

Any of the Playstation Portable titles.
Any of the Gameboy Advance titles except Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (Yes I know it was bad - I just want it though).
All of the Final Fantasy XI expansions.
Any of the PC titles.
Any of the Japanese titles.

I'm playing 7 right now cause the majority say its the best, and I just happen to have it in a box in the closet. I really like X the best so far. Now that XII is only 20 bucks, I'll be picking that up now cause I'm a cheap bastard. Final XIII along with the new socom is going to make me buy a PS3.

Here's one, though it's sort of bleh: GamingWorld - The History of Final Fantasy - Introduction

Also, I personally think IX was the best one out of the PSX games.
