Aye, as did I.  And I agree with yer rankings(1), except my scale says that
III is the best, and the rest follow suit accordingly.  III was the first FF I
ever played, and will always hold a special place in my videogame
collection...sniff...

And darn good ones, too.  Sounds like we need to be shut in a room together
with a stack of RPG's for a while...
