lol AFAIK only FF11 can be played online.A for the best FF,its definitely Final Fantasy 7,no contest there.Probably still the best RPG around.At least its waaay better than the new FF titles that are coming out.X2 and Crystal Chronicles are jokes.
 
i'll second FF7. Played it on PS long ago, and is my favourite FF yet!

FF11 was online only right? FFX2 isn't i think.
 
FF7 by far.
Get the pc version. There's an entire community dedicated to making hi-res backgrounds and hi-poly models for it.
Also the new user made engine updates allow to use higher resolutions like 1600x1200 alongwith AA and AF.
 
Official 1.02 patch (needed for newer graphics hardware, select Riva TNT as your display card in ff7config).
Upside-down movies patch (fixes upside-down movie playback under winxp).

Hi-res patch alongwith screenshots
Reunion patch
ficedula.dll (required by LGP Tools to run)
Full tutorial

An hours headache, but power comes at a price.
If you don't wanna bother, just play the ps1 version on epsxe which will let you use high resolutions alongwith fsaa as well as super 2x filtered backgrounds but no hi-poly models or hi-res textures.
 
How would you compare this game to neverwinter nights? Because I have that, am yet to play it. Should I play that first?
 
No comparison. FF is turn based, NWN is realtime.

FF targets a wider audience, anyone can pickup and play.
The gameplay is simple and story is good.

NWN is in a class of it's own. But a certain higher amount of interest in roleplaying required; it's hardcore d&d.
It has deep gameplay and a level of character customization unmatched by any game (except mmo's). You can make damn kind of character you please.
And storyline is good here as well.

I stopped playing after the first chapter (prefer simpler rpg's like Kotor), but it's damn good fun with a sorceress - you have access to hundreds of spells of mass destruction.
