FF7 - FF7 has a better story than the previous entries, and adds in the materia system to allow for customization of characters in battle, though not as deep as the class system. The graphics, though dated now, were wonderful for the time and blew people away. 9/10

FF8 - Story for FF8 was somewhat weak and at points nonsensical. Junction system broke the battle mechanics pretty hard. The graphics were probably the best out of the PSX Final Fantasies, however, and there were some genuinely great parts here and there. 7/10, bonus points if you're a teenager who really likes a love story (Looking back, this is sort of like a male videogame version of Twilight...)

FF9 - FF9 attempted to return the series to an earlier time. It shares a lot of design decisions with FF4, in that you have a basic party with little customization. The story is good, and the game has the best characters in the series barring FF6. 8/10, bonus points if you liked FF4.

FF10 - The first PS2 Final Fantasy, FF10 attempted to experiment a little. It has a pretty good story somewhat marred by a couple of weak/annoying characters, and in my opinion, has the best battle mechanics of the main series (Deep customization with armor/weapons/sphere grid, very structured combat allowing for strategizing). 9/10

FF12 - Didn't play very much because I didn't like the combat system or Vahn.

FF13 - Never had a PS3 to play it on.

FF13 -2 - Same as above.

FF Tactics - Incredibly fun game that lets you fight strategically with deep mechanics. Very good story with lots of intrigue. Somewhat marred by glitches and overly ambitious mechanics that can break the game, making it very easy. I recommend this FF to anyone that likes a good story or fun combat. 10/10

Oh wait, here's a decent example. Still like the game though, but once I got out of my teens, it just doesn't have the same effect as it did then.
