While I don't think I could really pick an area I don't like, Archades is definitely low on my favourites list.

I liked a lot of the "world map" areas far more than I would have thought, considering the game really doesn't have a world map. The game and each area just felt huge, and exploring was very enjoyable. I don't remember the names of all the areas, but the Cerobi Steppe and Phon Coast stood out.
I didn't really have a least favorite. Maybe some of the dungeons, like Barheim if I remember correctly, where you do nothing but fight non-stop through a very long dungeon.
I need to start playing this again.
That is one thing I can say, even when I hated this game--the world is impeccable. You really feel like you're immersed in this real place. Everything is massive, and having it on a grande scale opened it up for a lot of exploration, despite not having the over-world map like in older titles.
