FFVIII- Beat on PSX. This one was ok, I liked it as a love story but I couldn't get into the characters, as it felt as if Square was riding the dramatic, more teenage emotions VII had to their extreme. I liked the design and weirdness of it though, and I can't say it's anywhere near being the worst FF. It's just ok.
FFIX- Beat on PSX. Fantastic game. I loved its little call-backs to old JRPGs, and I loved the characters and story. It was really awesome to see the turn based battle system return and have the series be set in a medieval, magical setting again. Definitely one of my favorites of the series.
X- Beat on PS2. I really liked X, and feel it's kind of underrated among hardcore FF fans, although that's my own opinion, as the game does have some glaring flaws(I'm looking at you battle system). I liked the love story between Tidus and Yuna and all the interesting, strange characters they meet on their journey. I also love FFX's music, to me it's one of Uematsu's greatest works. I also didn't mind the voice acting, it gave the game some charm in it's hokiness.
FFX-2- Beat it on PS2. I hated this so much it pains me to talk about it. The mockery it made to the Job system, it's stupid story and annoying characters I just hate everything about it with a passion.
FFXI- Played on PS2. Played it, got bored and dropped. I didn't think a main entry in the FF series should have been an MMO, and with the big three gone(Sakaguchi, Uematsu and Amano) it lost a spark that I knew couldn't be rekindled.
FFXII- Beat on PS2. Playing an FF set in Ivalice was weird, and it kind of detracted from the overall experience for me because of how much I enjoyed the Tactics Advance games, which I played before FFXII. The new battle systems had some cool ideas, and Vaan was a fun guy, but it just felt kind of bland to me, and at this point I was a firm believer that Kingdom Hearts was the original ten's legacy.

Ok /vr/, it's time for a fun little hypothetical situation(spawned out of me beating Kingdom Hearts recently). Now let's say Disney buys Square Enix and decides to make a movie based off of one of the Final Fantasies, or at least 1-9. Which one do you think would be the easiest to adapt and turn out the best? It can be animated or live-action, whichever on you think would do the game more justice.

My pick goes to FF9. It has a lot of those bright fantasy elements Disney likes to incorporate, and the characters are all likeable and easily lend themselves to the eye- a plus for Disney when making the film.
