#b4 i played ffxiv i would've given it to ffx w/o hesitation

Saw a thread saying FFXV is 'objectively' the best FF game. As much as I love FFXV, I disagree. For me it's a tie between:

FFX (single player, tight linear narrative, the game that launched 1000 AUs) vs. FFXIV (mmo, 6 JRPGs in a trench coat, many highs and lows)

If I had to pick my top 5 (in order of release date):

Final Fantasy VIII (1999)

Final Fantasy X (2001)

Final Fantasy XV (2016)

Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers (2019)

Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker (2021)

Note: I'm waiting for the last part of FFVIIR to come out before judging it fully c:
