Out of the games i've played 12 has to be the worst :( the battle system was rubbish!! you just click attack once then you walk around the thing till it died ok it had cool thingy attacks ive forgotten the name of them but overall rubbish!! the storyline wasn't all that better either. no its just crap compared to the others!!! well in my opinion anyway :)
Final Fantasy IX I just dont like the story line and also the only thing I like from it was Vivi
XII, because I didn't feel involved in the story. Plus, even when I level grind, I never feel like my characters are getting anywhere. I guess for me, the pacing was slow. If I want to play a final fantasy based on politics, I'll pick Tactics, thank you very much.
VII. It has some decent qualities... somewhere, but I'm just never able to actually enjoy playing it. It's not fun.
II is in a close second, of course. Bland.
IX , never did like Zidane's monkey tail... :P
VII. Have never been able to get into it at all.. I've tried playing it from the start atleast 4 times, and still have never been really interested in it.
I found the characters ordinary to boring... and materia seemed like a lot of effort... just couldn't find anything to like about it...
VII has ordinary party???
Many other FF-games have much more similar characters than VII. You got characters who swear and smoke and act manly and their clothes seems practical ( well atleast males).
I understand if someone doesn´t like VII but its characters aren´t its weak point. Would you rather play with some boy-scouts and dress like Vaan?
Final Fantasy X had very few redeemable qualities to it when compared to the rest of the games.
FFVIII. It goes from boring to exciting, to boring about 100 times. The boring parts seemed longer to me.
And there are too many concepts that seemed too last minute (eg the GF taking part of the brain part).
FFVIII. Never quite got over how disappointed I was by that game.
Thank you for trolling, and please come again.Quote:

X-2....well I don't consider this an FF. A complete retcon and cash in if ever there was one.
Not digging all the VIII hate :cry:
Anyways, since I'm limiting this to the FF games I've actually played, I'd have to choose IV, with X right behind it. Not to say that they were bad, but just that the others were better. IV did intrigue me at first, with Kain being one hell of an interesting character. Cecil, however, just felt so bland by the time he became a white knight that there was nothing much to enjoy.
And I actually can't think of too much bad about X- I really wish they'd done some more with Wakka, as he seemed to have potential to be a great character, and Tidus could get annoying, but the overall mood of the game and the ending made up for it. I just preferred VI, VII, VIII, IX to these two which is why they're getting shafted.
You said it all for me. I didn't like the combat system(not a big fan of auto-pilot mode), the story had me bored to tears and I really did not like Vaan. At all. I was hoping Square had moved beyond the spiky blonde haired pretty-boy hero, but alas the final release of XII deemed to not to be so.Quote:

As the game went on, it became even more of a hand-holding affair. I almost quit playing when I discovered that my time in the great city of Bevelle would be limited to a bridge and a temple.Quote:

X's still a pretty good game when it comes down to it, but it's probably one of the weakest entries in the series in terms of being a fully-rounded package. II is pretty ass too, but it's so far removed from what Final Fantasy has been in the last 15 years that it's not even worth harping on anymore.
I detested FF XII.
Seriously I beat the game within a week and was working twelve hours a day. Im the anal retentive type so I max all stats do every side quest the works and still in one week it was done.
Besides that the story sucked...it didnt emotionally connect to "you" so I ended up not even caring what happend to the charecters. I care more about a good involved story more than I do for things looking realistic.
To me the replay value was nill. Since I beat the game I havent touched it so I feel Like I wasted money even Dirge of Cerberus was better to me than this game and Dirge of Cerberus was a total crap game as well but the story was at least better.
I actually fear buying a new Final Fantasy since I played XII because I dislike feeling like I wasted my money.....
