I for one dont really care for a story or plat in and RPG. I know I know the story is what makes the game blah blah. The reason I liked FF7 the most out of all of them is that the battle system was simple and clean, same goes for the Materia. Even though getting your new Limit Breaks was a bit confusing at first..I just thought it was at random at one point :P.
FF8: The story confused me from the very start so I didnt pay attention to that much. The battle system was pretty much the same as FF7 except for the pressing of the X button at a certain time making them crit...well I never got anybody else to do that except Squall. I also like how different GFs can learn abilities and addon attributes to its user which was nice. I did not like however the Drawing Magic system. I thought that was completely stupid aswell as equiping the spells to your attributes. If you put Tornado on you Str attribute...you cant use that spell in a fight or your just going to weaken your characters...same goes for other attributes. How you got new weapons was stupid how you had to go out and get items from different monsters to god knows where they are..I ended up trying to fight Ultimacia with all the initial weapons.
FF9: This game I thought was...cute..thats it. The story was actually fairly simple untill the end which confused the holy fuck out of me as soon as you went to the world with all the Zidanes. The battle system was fairly nice back to characters with individual abilites and talents. I thought Trance Kuja along with "Dark Messanger" was a very cool boss battle.
FFX: First and pretty much only FF to go on the PS2 which wasnt bad. Battle system I thought was completely awsome. Being able to switch characters and items in mid battle was nice to have. I'd have to say my Tidus, Auron, and Wakka was always my main three because well in the end I completed the whole sphere grid with all of them...so there was no need for Yuna or anyone else..as well as having Auto-Pheonix Down, Auto-Potion, and Auto-Remedy on all of them was very nice.
