Yeah I get 8 isn't for everyone, but it was my first so I will always defend it haha. It was very flawed but it had a good basis... magic system is what it is unfortunately. I'd really like to see it get the FFVII Remake treatment, I mean it lends itself to the timeline shifting nonsense more with there being a literal time witch in it.

I enjoyed Tactics Advance but never got around to playing the original one - I've got the War of the Lions remake on my Vita, I'll maybe give it a go at some point.

Unusual preference for 1 and 2 but I can respect it. I'm definitely more of a sucker for story and a good villain - Seymour, Seifer, Kuja, Kefka, and Sephiroth are the best in the series imo.
