First of all, this thread kicks ass. Proulxski, I love you for creating it.
With that being said, I've only had the chance to play VII, VIII, IX, X, and X-2, since I never had the correct system on which to play any of the others. So, out of the games that I've played, I have to go with the popular vote and say that VII is my favorite, followed closely by IX. VII has some really cool characters, and for some reason, I love walking through the slums and all of those other shitty, modern fantasy places. As already stated, Vincent and Sephiroth are both great characters. I love Vincent because he reminds me of myself (although I'm not badass like he is), since he's quiet and he seems to like being by himself. The only thing that could have made this game better is the card game.
IX is also a great game, mainly because of the story and the gorgeous cutscenes. I also like the characters in that one, mainly Zidane, Dagger, and Amarant. Amarant reminds me a lot of Vincent, which is probably why I like him so much.
Although I don't dislike VIII, there aren't many memorable moments in that one. Fortunately it's growing on me...very slowly.
X was amazing, but it was much too short. I beat the game, filled in everyone's sphere grid, obtained the ultimate weapons, completed the enemy capturing quest in the Calm Lands (I don't remember what it's actually called), and then I didn't really know what else I could do.
X-2 had the same problem as X (lack of replay value). Plus, there was a bit too much "girl power" feelings throughout that game. I do like Paine a lot though.

...and of course the amazing, majestic music (please do yourself a favor if you like FF music and pick up FF4 - Celtic Moon, best rendition of the crystal theme on it ever, played by a Celtic folk band).
