I'd say Final Fantasy is probably the most well-known JRPG series out there. With over 16 mainline games and countless spin-offs, it's got a huge amount of games under its belt, and has had a big influence on the JRPG genre.

The first Final Fantasy game was created by Hironobu Sakaguchi in 1987. In the 36 years since the first game was released, the series has undergone numerous changes. While the games up to Final Fantasy X were all turn-based, sometimes they were played in real time. Subsequent games introduced different experimental battle systems and were MMORPGs or action games. Many fans believe the series reached its peak with the older games between Final Fantasy VI and Final Fantasy X. On the other hand, the more recent Final Fantasy games, including the Final Fantasy VII remake series, Final Fantasy XVI and every expansion of Final Fantasy XIV, have been well-received.

So what you opionion about the Final Fantasy series, what the best game and what is you opinion about the modern games.

If you want to share your opinion on other JRPG series look at these posts: dragon quest

Best: 6. The music, characters, and Kefka are just the best.

6 was also my first. While I've tried to go back and play 1 through 4, none of them hooked me like 6. 7 is probably my second favorite, but I did not like the remake, especially the combat. After 7, most of them were just ok at best. 5 is also adequate. Never played the MMO ones, though my partner does, so I get grape memes and such by proxy. We've also played through 6 while reading the lines to each other in character, and split the side content of 15 while doing the main plot points together. We tried to go through the 7 remake together, but it was such a slog that we put it on "have the CPU win all the battles" just to get it done.

Hands down 6 is the best. 1-5 are second for me and the rest are meh at best. I don't care for graphics in these games, it's the characters and the storyline. SE seems to have lost their way and started pushing graphics over game quality which is fine for most I guess.

That said, I'm insanely excited for EthrA to be released. It's what I wanted FF7 to be visually anyways.
