Have at it, people!

Agreed.
Favorite game in the series: Final Fantasy 6.
It was probably the first game in the series to get a good balance of a good story, character backgrounds and story lines, a fun battle system (Well assuming you didn't know about vanish/doom), and just was overall the first game to finally get it right for what the FF series has become, however it could be argued that 4 and 5 did those things, but think ff6 was the first shining example.
Favorite character: Does this mean from the game I just picked or of all time?
If we're talking FF6, the game I picked, I'm going to go with Setzer Garabini.
Who doesn't love a gambler who left every decision up to the flip of a coin or a roll of the dice. Too bad battle system wise he was probably the worst character in the game... But meh. He was awesome.
As far as my favorite character in the series, well that would have to be just Moogles in general. Especially moogles from FF9. THEY SAVED YOUR GAME! How cool is that?
Favorite Boss: Do you mean like my favorite "Big Bad" or like just favorite boss?
Favorite Boss: Ultros
You had to fight this guy so much and he's the coolest evil octopus. "Seafood soup is not on the menu" WHAT?
Favorite "Big Bad": Kefka
Basically he's the bad guy you love to hate. He's a total jerk and unlike other FF games you never get that "Oh he's really a nice guy who got twisted by dark energies or the loss of his father or mother or some other gay bullshit" He's just a power hungry douche for no reason. The type of guy you love to hate and destroy. He's the only bad guy who actually managed to destroy the world. That's pretty evil right there.
Favorite class: Mage Knight(Sorcerer depending on game) - FF5
These guys introduced the almighty magic sword. Not only that but they were more balanced that a red mage in terms of stats and look at the sexy headgear. How can you not fucking love them? FLARE SWORD GO!
Favorite Box art: Final Fantasy 12. Yeah. It's good. Very simple and not chock full of the main characters. I like that.
Favorite Battle system: Fuck you earl. I guess I will say Final Fantasy 8. Just frame attacks were so cool for added damage and interactive limit breaks were awesome. However if Tactics was on this list it would win hands down. Over every game in the original series for me. Tactics was amazing. I still find reasons to play that game.
