FFV forever. It has a goofy story, but it's funny and plays fast and it has the most interesting, flexible job system the series ever saw. Also, some of the best themes to grace any of the Final Fantasy soundtracks.
Loved everything about it. Ditched the angsty story and futuristic settings from FF7 and FF8 for a more traditional fantasy setting that was still very unique and interesting. A bold move that makes FF9 probably the least liked PSX era Final Fantasy games, but I still hold it as the best. That's not to say I hate FF7 and FF8, I played both of those first and enjoyed them at the time. But upon replaying the three, I found FF9 to be the only one I can still enjoy, both story and gameplay.
FFV followed closely by X and VII....I've tried playing VI several times but I can never get into it and stop around half way through, I don't get the hype.
X is my favorite game of all time. But I think 12 is probably a better game....maybe......But it IS my numero dos fav FF game. I own ALL the FF games and most of the side ones.
VI. Best story, best music, best battle system, best customization, best characters, best EVERYTHING.
VI is pretty fun, but I have to stick with what I know the best and that is IX. Probably because It was my first "Owned" FF instead of just playing them at friends or renting. The characters I enjoyed more in 9 then 6 than any ff ever so meh. Least the VGK didn't pick 10.. FF10 was horrible : /
Well, since I can't vote for my favorite, I'll shout it in this thread.
FFX-2 is the best Final Fantasy game. It has the best battle system by far and easily the most robust job system. Yeah, everything else is incredibly stupid, but is there any Final Fantasy without a ridiculously stupid story and characters? At least X-2 has scene skip, so it's not that painful.
I still need to actually finish a Final Fantasy game (well, besides 13) before I can say for sure. Gotten to the end of three different games without finishing them...
6, 7, and 9 are my favorites. The others? Well...man...I think the games before 6 are looked at as good, from a modern point of view of the word 'good' as it pertains to video games, because of nostalgia. For example, I've tried to play through 4 many times. I just...it's just rough man. The constant grinding, the slow pace. It's just not for me. 8 was awful. I've never played the games past 9 so I can't speak to those games.
If you haven't played VI...do it. Look, it still holds up as one of the best RPG stories ever. In my opinion by a LONGshot the best in the series, and the best RPG from the 16-bit era
Final Fantasy V will always be my favourite. It's got the best class system, best music, and funniest story/characters of a FF game. It's also one of the few games that's had me feel genuine loss over a character death.
Hands down FF VI. Best music of the series, best characters, Kefka being the greatest villain of the series and overall story. Plus it has this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuvSDedrtKM.

VI. That opening on the snes when the music kicks in and you see the three mech suits walking through the snow sends shivers down my spine to this day.
That being said, I haven't played IX yet and really want to.
