Haven't played I-III, or V, but I would say that XIII was my least favorite. The game wasn't bad or anything, but I just didn't enjoy it as much as it's predecessors.

smurf every single one of the FFVII spin-offs. FFVII is probably my favorite, and I don't consider the spinoffs canon. None of them. And you shouldn't either.
The only game in the final fantasy series is ff XII or ff 12 but I have a reason it is just my personal taste. First I felt the game was just way to big I got lost a lot of times. I like games where you go into a town and I don't feel over whelmed just me. I did not like the battle system too complex for me. What really bugged me is even if you run you cannot escape from the enemies. I just did not like the leveling up. The game just confused me. I just did not get it. I am for a few of you on all of the ff 7 spin offs haven't they milked that series dry to bone already good grief. I think they need to move on and come up with something brand new.
You didn't enjoy the final scene or the missions?Quote:

Okay everything else plotwise, I mean. The final scene is part of what I mean by recapping events we saw FFVII. It was pretty amazing and definitely the best part of the game. The missions were okay. Combat was pretty fun too.Quote:

After playing through Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy IX and Kingdom Hearts it was a huge letdown. I didn't really enjoy the new battle system change, and it was frustrating getting lost all the time. The storyline felt like watching grass grow; and the character growth wasn't even there. Vaan was a terrible main lead. I didn't like Tidus at first but he changed, and got more serious and developed into the main character as time went on. Vaan didn't. He faded into the background while minor characters took the stage instead. Vayne was a exteremly disapointing badguy compared to the likes of Kuja even Seymour; and Seymour was weird and had stalkerish pedo vibes; but at least creepy Seymour was interesting as a badguy.
Music was okay; but a massive letdown compared to the usual Final Fantasy soundtrack. After playing through FFIX and FFX and hearing these excellent battle themes. It felt like the low after that huge high.
I didn't even really like or enjoy any of the characters. It only felt like they were all following each other just because they could. They had no development whatsoever minus Basche, Ashe and Balthier. They rest felt like plastic dolls. No personality and just some stereotyping. Even the 'evil brother ' thing with Basche felt very done before and just not as thirlling as it could of been.
Most of the FF games have flaws, errors and mistakes but FF 12 just takes the cake.
I'm going to say FFXII, mainly because out of all the FF's that I've played (even without completing) it was the least memorable. The only thing I remember about it is "Heeey there have been two boss fights and no save point... I must be at the end of the game! ...how did I get here? :s"
X-2 I really tried to get into it but it wasn't happening, the more I played it more I hated it.
III. Didn't like anything about it really. Broken story. Broken job system. Seriously, I could beat that that game with a bunch of lvl 10 jobs. Just didn't care a lick for it. I honestly thought I and II were better. V's class system rocked. Other than DoC I kind of like Crisis Core. VI, VII, IV, IX and X are in noooo way the worst functioning/playable games and if u voted for them I feel sorry for u. Those are the best Final Fantasies. I thought VIII still has it's merits and I personally love it but can see why others don't. X-2s battle system imo is the best FF has to offer although the story is lacking. I just like XII more and more as time goes on. XIII was meh but still was visually pleasing. I just know I will never pick up 3 again.
Also I don't think XI or XIV should count. Tactics series rocks.
I'm here to dog on VIII, X, and X-2!
VIII sucked. No one will convince me otherwise. EVER. If God approached me and told me Final Fantasy VIII was the best Final Fantasy, I would seriously consider where I've placed my faith. While I could rant about it, I won't. That'd take to much time. I'll save it for another time.
X, well, was dumb. Mainly because of REALLY dumb writing, REALLY dumb characters, and REALLY dumb Blitzball. I mean, really.
After Kilika's destruction
Wakka: Well, glad that's over. Come on guys, let head to the Blitzball tournament in Luca!
Tidus: Yeah, Zanarkand Abes baby!
Yuna looks at the two, shocked
Yuna: B-but what about Sin? He JUST destroyeda village before our very eyes..! Shouldn't we be heading to the next temple! I mean, He needs to be-
Wakka throws his Blitzball at Yuna and hits her in the face
Wakka: Look at the nerd! "We need to save the world, no time for sports, blah, blah, blah!" Give it a rest, ya?
Tidus: Yeah, nerd! Blitzball is TEN times more important than Sin!
Is THAT a good example of my hatred for this game?
X-2 had just as many as problems as X. The three biggest redeeming factors though, are no Tidus, Revival of the Job system, and a different direction from normal Final Fantasies. Everything else from the troutty writing, to the stupid characters, to the horrible monkey breeding mini games, is horrible. I still prefer it over X though.
Hmm... I thought the game made pretty clear that Blitzball was a very important sport in Spira, that it gave the people something else to worry about than Sin and that the players 'carry huge responsibility'. Not that they didn't care about saving the world from Sin.
Besides, considering how quickly everything went ("when we arrive, the tournament will start immediatly"), the whole tournament probably didn't take more than a couple hours, considering it's 6 matches of 10 minutes... I really don't think it was that big of a deal.
It breaks my heart that so many people voted VI and XII when they are Top 5 games for sure. :'(
