Now that 2009’s over and done, let’s get back to business. You didn’t think I’d let the game series debates come to a close before giving the Final Fantasy series some spotlight, did you? Of course not! This week is all about that wonderful RPG series that Square Enix has kept alive for decades of delight. With Final Fantasy XIII‘s release only two months away, it’s time to look back and discuss what game was the highlight of the entire series so far.
This week, instead of voting for just one game, please rank all the Final Fantasy games you’ve played from best to worst. You may not vote for Final Fantasy XIII, but you may vote for any of the Final Fantasy remakes or spinoff games as long as they have Final Fantasy in their title.
After you rank them all, feel free to tell us why you ordered them that way, and answer any of the bonus questions after the jump that you feel strongly about.
