Final Fantasy VI rates as my favorite old-school FF, and as my favorite game of all time. I just think this game had the best balance of story, characters, gameplay, and music in the series. FFIV comes second, mainly because it was my first FF, but also because it was fairly difficult. I really can't the first 3, as they are a bit archaic and hard for my tastes. Finally, I really like FFV. Yeah, it's plot isn't stellar, but the jobs and the silly moments in the story are what make this game amazing to me.
