FF8 was my first rpg, so would always say it’s my fave because it just has that special place in my heart. 7,8,9 and 10 are known for being the best in the series. 8 had kinda mixed reviews from fans it was an either you loved it or hated it. A lot of the hate was about the junction and draw system. It is also the most technologically advanced story wise in the final fantasy universe so some people view it more sci fi. But it also has some of the best theories from fans, even though the creators debunked the theories they are still interesting to read. Also even the people who hated it still love triple triad, which is a card game in the game.
