By far, the most popular entries in the series are ''VI'', ''X'', ''IX'', and especially ''Final Fantasy VII''. It has had a somewhat confusing release history in North America (''Final Fantasy VI'' was branded in North America as ''Final Fantasy III'' initially, and ''Final Fantasy IV'' was given the moniker ''Final Fantasy II'', only to then jump to ''Final Fantasy VII''), but Square is attempting to patch this up via remakes, ports, etc. Every single title in the main series is now playable on at least two systems. Having sold over 100 million units, it's one of the most popular RPG series worldwide, although Dragon Quest is probably more popular in Japan. Probably. |

While ''Final Fantasy VII'' has been praised as one of the greatest video games of all time, it has similarly been criticized by saying that although it is a good game, it isn't the best. This has ranged from slight disappointment to outright hate. Worth noting is that every single game in the series, starting with VIII, is hated immensely at launch, sell millions of copies anyway, and then attracts a much greater reputation later in life (similar to the Zelda cycle). |
At the very least, we must give VII credit for bringing us such classic lines as: "Will you stop acting like a retard and climb?", "This guy are sick.", and "Sit your ass down in the chair and '''DRINK YOUR GODDAMN TEA!!!!!!!'''" | At the very least, we must give VII credit for bringing us such classic lines as: "Will you stop acting like a retard and climb?", "This guy are sick.", and "Sit your ass down in the chair and '''DRINK YOUR GODDAMN TEA!!!!!!!'''" | ||
