The ps2 take on the "which of the first six games is your favorite" or "which of the ps1 era games is your favorite"
I left FFXI out because it's an MMO, it's a different experience, and not saying it's bad, I myself want to know more of it, it intrigues me more than FFXIV, but, well.... I did basically left it out because it's multiplayer..... Not many people know it, unfortunately.
ANYWAYS. FFX and FFXII are both among the 8 games on my top 1. I'll recommend these games any day. Especially FFXII, what an underrated gem. And FFX is simply a very good game, easy to follow and play and have fun around.
I love them so much. They also have some of my favorite gameplay features, so it's always a treat whenever I go back to them.
