I played IV first, back when the U.S. thought it was II. I was about 7. I absolutely loved it and it got me into RPGs.
Next came FF I, which I hated. Later I thought maybe it was just because I was too young, but no, it still sucks.
FF VI came next, and it's still to this day my favorite game of all time.
Then VII - I enjoyed it and spent a good portion of time playing it and replaying it, but I never understood the massive love for it and I still don't.
Afterwards I played VIII and because it was so awful I didn't play another FF game for years.
Eventually I broke down and saw FF Tactics in a store and had never heard of it or knew quite what it was, so I bought it and I loved it. Next came the (awful) port of FF V and VI for Playstation and that was my first time playing V. I thought it was alright and having played FFT just before helped me appreciate the job system more.
I decided to give a newer game another shot and played IX and fell in love with Final Fantasy all over again. It's easily my second favorite game of the series. However, that was quickly ruined with the release of X, and even worse, the subsequent release of X-2.
I tried III on the DS, but haven't yet finished it or even gotten too far in. I enjoy the job system and everything, but the story does little to grab my attention.
I've never played II, XI (in my opinion this doesn't count) or XII.
Oh yeah, I played XIII. It sucks.
Hm... I've played 9 games out of the "classic" 10. I've completed 8 of them. I only enjoy 5 of them (IV, V, VI, VII, IX) and those are the only ones I would replay. Final Fantasy is pretty hit or miss. The game is usually either really good, or just downright awful.
