Arguably, Final Fantasy VI or VII is consider the best game in Final Fantasy series. Although Final Fantasy VI get little more praised, Final Fantasy VII is more loved because its wider appeal.
This question is opinion based, but in my opinion, Final Fantasy VIII.
According to various sources, Final Fantasy 7 as a game certainly stands the test of time with its engaging plot and characters.
The graphics for Final Fantasy VII were actually some of the best graphics at the time, considering the fact that it was Square's first 3-D Final Fantasy title with pre-rendered areas and actual cutscenes. You have to remember that Final Fantasy VII is an old game.
The newest official SERIES would be Final Fantasy XII for the PS2 But Final Fantasy XIII (360, PS3), Final Fantasy XIII Versus (PS3), Final Fantasy XVI (PS3, PC and Rumour 360). Are in Delveopment are due out for release in 2010. Now there are other more recent releases such as Final Fantasy Dissidia (PSP) Final Fantasy Crisis Core (PSP) Final Fantasy III (DS) Final Fantasy IV (DS) FInal Fantasy V (DS) The list goes on. Research Wikipedia, or various websites i.e. Amazon.com, Game.co.uk, Play.com etc.
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time is a Wii and Nintendo DS action role-playing game in the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles series developed by Square Enix.
Final Fantasy VIII isn't an online game. There is no subscription, just a one time cost to purchase the game.
No.
No, it isn't. You have Final Fantasy III (known by others as Final Fantasy VI)
I would say that the relevance of graphics is really up to you. Final Fantasy XIII is a gorgeous game. Final Fantasy VII is more of a classic. Now, if you haven't played any Final Fantasy games at all, I would recommend starting with Final Fantasy IX or X. Both of those games are pretty accessible for a first-time Final Fantasy player. Choosing between the two of those, however, I would say to play VII first. It's a classic, and it's really a phenomenal game. XIII isn't to everyone's taste, and therefore I wouldn't recommend it for first-time Final Fantasy players.
Well... it depends on what kind of Final Fantasy you prefer. Try games like Rogue Galaxy. If you're a Final Fantasy Tactics fan then I recommend a game like Disgea. It all depends on your style of gameplay. (Turn-Based, Real-Time, FPS, etc.)
Final Fantasy X-2 is the sequel to Final Fantasy X. This game focuses on Rikku, Yuna and Paine, rather than Tidus. Final Fantasy X-2 begins as Yuna, Rikku and Paine recover Yuna's stolen Garment Grid from the Leblanc Syndicate in the first of several encounters in which they vie for spheres. The game is punctuated by a narration of Yuna addressing Tidus, as though she is recounting the events of the game to him as they occur in a style reminiscent of Tidus' own narration in Final Fantasy X. Although Yuna's quest is to find clues that may lead her to Tidus, much of the storyline of the game follows the clash of the factions that have established themselves in the time since the coming of the Eternal Calm in Final Fantasy X, and the uncovering of hidden legacies from Spira's ancient history. A significant portion of the game's events are unnecessary for the completion of the main storyline, but much of the depth of the story-including characterization and background details-are featured in the optional content, which generally follows how each part of Spira is healing in the time since the passing of Sin.

Scratch what I said earlier, as there is one coming for the Wii, and it is the sequel to Crystal Chronicles, and it is being called Crystal bearers. Keep an eye out for it, though there aren't any games coming out for the 360, though, except for FF XI expansions. The main series looks set to remain on Sony's PlayStation hardware.
