For me it's Final Fantasy VIII, the first game I bought with my own money. Gaming was hard back then, I had no allowance or any sort of income. I bought games with money I got from Christmas and birthday. My friends all loved final fantasy VII and bragged about it but I just could not afford it when it launched. I bought Final Fantasy VIII on launch after reading glowing reviews on a local gaming magazine and I loved the game. I know the junction mechanic is flawed, I know the draw system is bad, I know the story isn't the best. I still loved it and played it to 100% a ton of times. Bought it in pretty much all platforms I own (including twice on Steam, even tho it was a ripoff). The game really makes me realize how far I've come in life and how fortunate I am on how everything turned out.
Ah, a fellow FFVIII lover. Forever my personal favorite in the series (as my user name probably implies).
I also love Final Fantasy X, I remember playing that game for the first time and thinking graphics couldn't possibly become more realistic xD
I think VIII is still my favorite but mostly for sentimental reasons.
