if final fantasy 1 up to 7 was listed, i'd choose one of them. for me it was FF 8 that was the beginning of the downfall for this series. don't like either FF10 or FF13, but if i had to choose , i'd go for FF10. FF13 was just a mess, and a shadow of its previous games. despite all that build-up and hype and graphics, it was not the final fantasy i remembered for years ago. and it felt like a hollywood movie than a video game.

so yes, FF10.
When was the last time a Final Fantasy game actually felt like the last one that came out? Sorry, but I just find it odd that people would go into a Final Fantasy game of all things and expect a familiar experience. The variety was the appeal, nay, the point of the series, at least as far as I can tell. The only connecting features are still in FFXIII, too, IIRC.
I've always felt Final Fantasy is the biggest most overrated RPG series to date that doesn't deserve much attention for it's blandness EXCEPT for FF6,7, & 10 that actually felt like very well thought out games unlike the rest in the series.
Final Fantasy X is my favourite game ever, so wins by default.
As to reasons why it's my favourite, it's just great in every way. The battle system is still the greatest turn-based system in any rpg I've ever played. The ability to change party members on the fly mid-battle opens up the strategic possibilities as does being able to see (and influence) the turn order. The sphere grid levelling system is incredibly in-depth and extremely addictive. I can remember grinding for hours just to progress a little further. I loved having that level of control over my party's progression. Then there's the excellent music and beautiful visuals which are still lovely over 10 years later. I also loved the story and became incredibly attached to the characters.
This one is easy. I never could get into tactics. I tried twice because I was a Hugh Final Fantasy fan. The story just didn't do anything for me and the gameplay just seemed to take forever to get interesting. Now I did really like tactics advanced and played it to death. Fire Emblem for me as its a no brainer. Great stories and got to love the gameplay!
