One day I'll actually buy a good FF game, and will hopefully be able to have a good conversation about them.
The only ones I have are Tactics Advance, and I and II for GBA... Tactics was ok, but I had no clue what I was doing in the other one.

7 and 8 come to mind. 7 gets too much praise for a game with shoddy graphics and completely identical characters (whoo, you can have everyone all have Knights. What customization! </sarcasm>) 8, I had no clue what the hell is up with 8. I tried 12, but couldn't stand any aspect of it other than the purty cutscene graphics. And really, that's all that FF seems to be these days.
9 still holds my vote for best FF, since it brought back that whole classes thing. Plus Zidane and Vivi are cool.
So, did your mind explode from the overload of girly stuff in X-2, Tynan?

Steve: My mind very nearly exploded. But once I got past the initial cutscenes, it wasn't nearly as bad. The whole dressup thing was actually kind of neat - basically an on-the-fly job-switching system. Would have been better without some of the more OPd classes like the Alchemist, who can make a Mega-Potion, Ether, or Elixir in one round at no cost of MP.
Brian: FF1 is notoriously difficult. If you've got an original Playstation, I highly recommend both Tactics and IX. Also VIII, but read about the battle system first - it's definitely not for everyone.
Also, I just beat XII and thought it was pretty awesome. Not having to manually cast buffs was a huge plus, and Quickenings introduced an interesting element of risk into the battle system.

One day I'll actually buy Tactics, because all I ever hear about it is praise, as for IX, I pretty much watched my friend play through the first half of the game, but he never beat it. He only seems to pick it back up when I ask him if I can borrow it....

It's a conspiracy, he's plotting against you!
I could let you borrow 9 for a while. Even with your "busy" schedule, you could beat it before summer's over if you decide to not join Tynan's campaign (since if you don't join, I wouldn't be able to get it back before winter break).
Also, I caught a Shiney Snubble today using the PokeRadar. There's a catch to using the thing to chain certain Pokemon together, and the more of them you chain in a row, the higher the chance of encountering a Shiney. I got it with minimal effort.

Shiny Machop!
Gloat gloat gloat...
Hey Brian, do you happen to have spare TMs of Earthquake and Bulk Up? I want to use the Shiny Machop, since it is actually useful (No Guard ability and Impish nature, but these probably don't mean much to you). And it's sparkly and stuff. I can give you my Shiny Snubble in exchange.
Nevermind, got them off of the PA boards. Green Machamp is friggin awesome.

More reason for me to buy a 360.
