Secret of Mana is actually what got me into RPGs, but FFIV is what got me totally obsessed with them.

FFVI though is still one of my favorite FFs.  There are a lot of things about it I don't like.  For instance, I never liked that everybody could learn all the same magic and had around the same HP, and had very little differentiation between them (Whereas in FFIV every character was different).  I never liked that the story lost all cohesion halfway through and you were just sort of stumbling around the world blindly picking up characters.  But it still had a great story and some of the best characters in RPG history, and a really fun battle system.

FFVI or FFV for me is the real watermark of the series.  FFVII is where they started descending into all this pretentious metaphysical crap with weird identity crises and teenagish emotional angst.  It's also when they discovered 32 bit graphics, and thus made the battles real slow and draggy.  They also decided battles shouldn't have any kind of difficulty or require any sort of thinking, and thus they became just a lot of mindless button tapping.  Starting with FFVII they essentially shifted the focus from gameplay to plot, and made the entire series about showing off their graphics and plots infused with the pseudo-depth of Neon Genesis Evangelion.

My FFVI cart's save battery is dying though, so I may have to get FFVI Advance just to play it without lag.

Dammit- Ive got a DS and desperate for and RPG, I was goin to get new FF3, which is better 6 or 3. The graphics are much better on 3 cause its designed for the DS harware

ackblom12:
personally, I love FF3, but 6 is a better game in every way possible, with the exception of not having the Job system.

ScrambledGregs:
Exactly.
