Also, if we're rating them, I guess I can throw my 2 cents in.

>FF - 2.5/5: Simple and broken on NES, but for the time it was really fun, and you can still get enjoyment out of it today(moreso the remakes than the original)
>FFII - 1/5: Absolutely broken, retarded leveling system and horrible enemy placement("Go right and die!"). The only thing interesting and memorable about this title is the villain and the more intricate plot.
>FFIII - 3/5: Fun game, amazing sprite graphics, mystical world, good but bogged down by tedious Job System
.FFIV - 3.5/5: First amazing FF, added lots of dynamic story elements and brought back the original gameplay, and although it kind of feels like a cheesy soap opera, it can still tug at the heartstrings.
FFV - 4.5/5: Truly underrated FF, does things imply and astounds the played with how well they do it. Fixed Job system is extremely fun, the characters are lovable and memorable, and has some of the best scenes in the franchise.
FFVI - 5/5: The pinnacle of retro Final Fantasy and SNES JRPGs IMO. Everything about it is absolutely sublime, the characters, the hilariously broken Magicite System and the feeling of growth you get while playing. I can't even describe how much I love this game.
>FFVII - 4.5/5: Another amazing installment, and definitely the best of the PS1 trilogy for me. Gameplay is basically the Magicite system done right, and damn is it fun. Characters are fun and empathetic, and it has some great moments. Only problems are that the story is too much like VI's and that it started the trend of FF's being linear until the last disc.
FFVIII - 3/5: Ambitious for what it tried to do, however overall it was a failure. The Junction System is confusing at first, but easy to manage later(still tedious), but its main downfall is that you basically have to spam GFs to win. Characters are bland, only interesting ones are Squall and Laguna, and the story is subpar to stupid(amnesia)
