Me it has to be Valkyrie Profile" Silmeria
what about you guys?
Hm, where do I begin? :)
There was this Mana-series-but-not-really thing for the Super Nintendo I played once...I thought it was just awful. Secret of Evermore or something? God, I just can't remember. But I believe it was made by Square USA, so there ya go. I hated that thing.
I'm also going to give a nod to Vagrant Story because I'm a masochist and I want other members to beat me up with their harsh text. VS is a very love or hate kind of game, and I sure didn't love it, kiddies.
The Valkyrie Profile series is developed by tri-Ace, not Square-Enix, but yeah. >_>
It is hard to say what SE game I like the least, since I'm generally not very picky. I guess I'll just throw in Final Fantasy Mystic Quest.
You should try Secret of Mana (unless you already have and didn't enjoy it), Lunar. And Seiken Densetsu 3. They're both much better than Secret of Evermore.
*beats LunarWeaver with harsh text*
FFX-2
I'm with LunarWeaver...I didn't really umm care for Vagrent Story either.
If there is a SE game worse then Children of Mana, I don't want to play it.
Final Fantasy X and X-2
Star Ocean:TTEOT
King's Knight or Tobal no.1.
One is a generic side scrolling shooter that's just bad...
The other is a poor 3D fighter (wait I forgot... Most 3D fighting games suck:p )
Also... *Beats Lunarweaver and Omni Legacy with harsh text*
Energheiz. Damn confusing move list!

Xenosaga is not SquareEnix. Unless you mean Xenogears.
I guess you mean Ehrgeiz. Yeah that game sucks. Near all moves (excluding special moves) were stolen from other games. Same for the looks of the chars. I only bought it because of cloud, Sephi and Tifa.Quote:

That was a greeeeaaat mistake from squaresoft. But they learned and never made a game that bad again.
Thanks for correcting me.Quote:

Tobal No. 1

I'd say FF:MQ or any portable Dragon Quest that's not a remake.
The Legend of Dragoon. :O
:O
Absolutely Fullmetal Alchemist.
I was about to say the same I just didn't remember if they made it or not. <3Quote:

Final Fantasy X, Secret of Evermore, Final Fantasy X, The Bouncer, Final Fantasy X, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy X. Oh.. and I forget the name of it, but it was that game that had uhmm... Yuna? I think.. and Tidus??
Final Fantasy 10
Romancing SaGa
I'm wondering why lots of people are saying X-2 was a bad game. The game being girly isn't exactly a reason to say it's bad, considering the gameplay was actually quite decent. I guess there will always be a bandwagon though.
!? Romancing saga was a nice addition to the Saga games imo.Quote:

I didn't really like FFX, either...although I loved FFX-2. Man, I have some really unpopular opinions about games.
Xenogears goes down in history as the first RPG I ever started but couldn't bring myself to play all the way through, and the only one on a major console (by which I mean, not a handheld one).
Generally I'll finish any RPG all the way through even if I'm not digging it, just to see the ending. I have suffered through games I truly hated for this reason. But Xenogears, holy living crap. I never made it through the first disk. 10 minutes of gameplay, 45 minutes of watching a movie, five more minutes of gameplay, 30 more of a movie, etc. And from what I heard, it only gets worse on the second disk.

For Vagrant Story though, I actually enjoyed the difficulty. The game came out in a time when I felt games were becoming too accessible (and by that I mean games were becoming ridiculously easy.) I like that it was brutally difficult. It's story made it worth it in the end.:D
I hated FFX waaayyy before it became "cool" to hate FFX :cool: But I'm probably lumped into your first explanation. The game is a cheesey interactive TV soap opera in a nutshell. But despite this I still feel Squenix has made much worse games...Quote:

Sorry about that, I just can't imagine someone who has played LoM thinking of it as a bad game, but actually you could say Legend of Mana had 3 principal storylines, and different side stories. Sorry :(Quote:

Havnt said this there are probably much worse SE games that i havnt played yet.
*hurts whoever said Kingdom Hearts*
Out of the ones I have played, either FMA or FFTA (though the whole race-exclusive job system was very interesting).
FF X-2
Tipical, I know
are you kidding?Quote:

FFX-2 could have been alot better but it is nowhere near the worst of SEs games. Personally I found the battle system to be one of FFs finest and well tuned. Who honestly likes spending 5+ minutes on a random encounter when most of it is time spent waiting for a bar to fill
One of the only games I ever tried and could not stand to play anymore after 5 minutes was Valkyrie Profile Silmeria
Final Fantasy 2.
Probably Ehrgeiz. Really didn't see what was so special about that one. I think people just love it that they could play with Cloud and Sephiroth but the game itself was nothing special imo. Secret of Evermore was pretty bad as well yes. *kills the ones who say FFX/FFX-2/KH*^^
FFX-2 does suck, SE didn't put enough into the game.Quote:

FFX-2 does not suck. It's good if you've played FFX imo. It still has that good atmosphere and while the music and overall storyline may be pretty crappy(save a few songs) it is far from sucky. If i should name a game aside from Ehrgeiz that sucks it has to be Dirge of Cerberus:FFVII. Now please explain to me in what ways SE has putten effort in that game aside from the FMV's...Quote:

Any Mana same that isn't Seiken Densetsu 3 OrLegend of Mana, I admit Secret of Mana is good but it's crap compared to SD3.
Kingdom Hearts
FFX and X-2
Star Ocean TTEOT
Any FF7 spinoff.
Gotta go with X-2.
it's the only SE game I know where they're clearly sacrificed plot and excellent characters to throw in loads of side bosses and pants quests.
I'm surprised no one has said 7th Saga yet. Any takers for that? Even though I could never stomach the idea of finishing xenogears, I don't imagine I would've wanted to finish that one either of it weren't for save states. I mean, I began with Dragon Warrior I so level grinding brings out a certain nostalgia in me, but that game is just one big-ass level grind to the point where even I'm annoyed. I'm sure someone out there thinks it's the worst.
ne ways... I have to say... MMMM... FF III?? *Casts Thundara on any who said FFX*
it would definetly have to be star ocean till the end of time i played that game for TWO HOURS guess what TWO BATTLES so boring and there was like fifty cutscenes
With patience, Xenogears is perhaps the best RPG to grace the PSX. Games I disliked were Final Fantasy IX and Final Fantasy Tactics.

Instead of taking up one of the numbers
Absolutely, and without a doubt.Quote:

I actually liked FFMQ, although it wasn't a great game by any means. The biggest flaw was that with a two-person party, status ailments could doom the party at lot more quickly. I liked the visible enemies (a quality shared by FFXII) and the puzzles. It was far too easy to overpower the foes once a means to replenish MP became easily optainable.
Also I liked FFX-2 a lot, although the plot was not up to the standard of FFX, it shouldn't blind the players to it's great gameplay aspects.
I'd have to say my least favorite I've played is FFII. I always finish every FF-except for this one. I found the characters and plotline unmemorable and flat. Even FFI was better.
The worst game I've never played is Chocobo World on the Pocketstation. Not that I know what playing it would be like, but being denied the oppurtunity has left a gigantic chip on my shoulder about it.
Chocobo World was actually kind of fun lol, and Kingdom Hearts was a great game in my opnion, the camera pissed me off at times, but the gameplay and story more than made up for it, and KHII was even better.
I'm sure it is. I'm not against the game per se, just the way it was marketed:
1) Chocobo World is only way to get some rare FFVIII items, basically blackmailing you to buy an extra game to complete everything.
2) You have to import both the game and platform to actually play it.
I can tolerate one or the other, but not both. :mad:
ff8 or crystal chronicles
Unlimited Saga
Crystal Chronicles!
I agree with people that X-2 was good, but personally I didn't think it was as good as the rest if the series apart from XI (I hated that xD)
i would have to say musashi and 12...i cant believe some people hated ff10 and threads of fate though:(
o ya cant forget 11
Final Fantasy X-2 and Crystal Chronicles.
I gotta say that the worst Square-Enix game I've touched would have to be Unlimited Saga. Killer opening sequence and music, but from there on... It was virtually unplayable for me. Not because of difficulty, but lack of control in exploration and combat. I literally had the game for just under 24 hours (between 21 and 23) and I immediately took it back to the GameStop.
ok... so this thread has been going on longer than i expected.... so lets talk about the BEST Square games made EVER
for me it would have to be either Final Fantasy XII or Dragon Quest VIII, they are both tied
THREADS OF FATE IS THE BEST EVAR!!!!
IMHO.
Best: Dragon Quest 8
Worst: Final Fantasy X after the first playthrough
Final Fantasy x-2:mad2: :mad2: :mad2: :mad2: OMG that game is the worst thing ever it shouldn't even be allowed the FF name!!!:mad2: :mad2: seriously it makes me sooooooooooo mad that Final Fantasy X was AMAZING then they make the 'sequel', even when i was watching the retrospective of X and that came on i just wanted to burn my computer!!!I HATE IT!!!!:mad2:
Ehhh...since I wasn't here to post the worst I will do it now...
Worst:Romancing Saga (omg I can't even believe it's a square game.)
Bestest estest estest ESTEST!: Chrono Cross. ^^ first RPG I played. <3333333333333333333333333333333333333333333 :love:
Other way around, only I don't think FF10 is the best. Maybe Chrono Trigger, or Final Fantasy 4.Quote:

Vagrant Story. That game sucked so bad, I barely got past the first level.
i dont like dirge of cerebus, dont like vincent. he was a bad character. ive never played 11, is it bad?
10-2.
10-2 is amazing! yuna is back and 100 times sexyer then before! rikku and paine are great characters and leblanc is a kick ass ho! its a great game, why do you hate it?
Favorite Square Enix game of all time? Let's try this...
16-Bit Squaresoft Era: Chrono Trigger, hands down.
CD-ROM Era (Pre Square-Enix merger): Tie - Xenogears and Final Fantasy IX
Current Era (Square Enix): Star Ocean Til the End of Time
It's an MMO, so I wouldn't rank it along with the other FFs...I've never played another MMO, so I can't compare it to anything :PQuote:

Kingdom Hearts, its just not my kind of game:rolleyes2
Hmm... Dawn of Mana, anyone? It's playable, but just barely. What makes it so bad is the fact that it had such enormous potential! When I saw the World of Mana artwork, drawn up in Legend of Mana fashion, and the early screens of Keldy running over green plains with rabites bouncing around, I knew that I had to buy a PS2. It looked to be what fans had been clamoring for for years: A Mana game in the roots of Secret of Mana. Free-roaming world map, a twisting storyline. And then we get bad camera angles, an over-focus on the mono system, and the elimination of most RPG elements (No towns, no levels past 4, story chapters, loss of levels after every chapter). And now they probably won't make any more Mana games on the logic that "Dawn of Mana did badly, people don't want another one." If Square would just go back to the old formula, Mana could thrive once again.
It has a storyline that pretty much pummels most of the others out of anything.Quote:

FFX-2 is probably one of squenix's best games when it comes to gameplay.[/quote]
!!!!!wat it was a cheap budget game they use all the same backgrounds and suroudings from FFX and they didn't even talk in time with there voices the only reson ppl bought it was to see wat happened to tidus then you have to get a high percentage to get an ending where she finds him. Silver rings gold earings to protect them in battle its just like charlies angels full of cheese.

theres a reson for that watching all the vids it just plain wierd babies eating ppl that cycopath mana killing the world cause her mum didn't love her yes i got it mixed up Furie is the one who loves him and her thick headed Inuart puts her in one of those eggy seed things i must admit watching Furie kill Dumb ass Inuart was funny (random though) and thank god Caim loses his voice e.g feel the steel of my blade empire scum thank god he loses his voice there is ways to make things diffrent but its to far.
That about sums it up. It was the only game I've ever played for about 10 minutes, and traded it back to the secondhand shop I got it from.Quote:

I just find it hard to get into the game -- heck, I even bought it knowing I fully hate the art styling. It's really not as bad as people say, but for a company who's had unmitigated success in the same genre, it makes the lows appear even lower. FFX-2 also instantly springs to mind (at least Mystic Quest didn't hide the fact it was of an 'introductory' vein) because even the decent battle system is unable to keep the thing afloat. Since someone mentioned Drakengard, I kinda admit that the game's fun...for a few hours. When the monotony rains, it really pours.
Vagrant Story...well, I attribute most of my dislike to the fact I'm just not as good a fiend at precise button-mashing as I used to be. It's rather unforgiving to newcomers but it's got a great plot & unique battle system just the same. Just 'cause I suck at it doesn't make it an utter failure, after all.
I played this 'un named Final Fantasy Eleven that I simply couldn't stand. One of my friends talked me into playing it, spent a ton of Gil on a World Pass and then I played for twenty minutes and said "This is wank." He was not pleased.
Tactics Advance is tied for sheer disappointment too. I was kind of hoping to play that cool game with that Lion War that wasn't released in the UK and which I'd only ever been able to play for about half an hour at a time at a friend's house several miles away, and instead got a snowball fight, a practise duel against a Bangaa and then a flower-picking mission (with goblins to kill). Oh, and a judge system which turned out rules like "No magic" when against Flans, "No physical attacks" when against things that cast Reflect a lot, and my favourite, "No damage to monsters" (hopelessly smurfing you up if you had no Confuse, Bio or Death). Later on you could apparently get rule cards that let you get around this but I couldn't be bothered. I'd already seen enough. Thank smurf I only emulated it. I had a friend who really, really liked this game and he didn't understand why I hated it so much. I gave him a ROM of FFT on the PSX and within twenty minutes we saw eye-to-eye. He's not played TA since.*
Crap, there's always someone out there who's beaten all my endurance records.Quote:

Final Fantasy VII . . . Oh, wait we're talking about the worst now?
I originally had The Bouncer pegged... no, wait, it still qualifies. I like the game but as far as know it's the worst Square-related game I've played.
Hm, the worst I played was probably Romancing Saga. But thats because i couldn't read it. So, that doesn't really count. I'd say The Bouncer even though I thought it was a decent game.
Definitely FF: Mystic Quest, though it was still quite enjoyable.
Caim loves Furiae (I forgot the name...) as a sister.Quote:

Drakengard has one of the most unique stories in RPG history (though it did not always tell it so well...) and Drakengard 2 includes a wonderful story and actual gameplay.
wooh~
If movies were involved. I would say FFX: AC but since it's not...
I would say that FFVIII was my least favorite. Too boring and the 'draw' system was really tedious and too time consuming.
Wait, now that I think of it, FFXII was so much worse than FFVIII! I hated the system so much! I mean what was so bad about the battle system where you input commands and don't move at all! T_T
[QUOTE=Tsukasa;2231875]-slaps- You can't just decide that it sucked after ten minutes if game play. By the way, it gets better later in the game when you get to party and it's fun as heck!Quote:

My favorite Squaresoft game is Chrono Trigger ^_^. Probably their only good game besides FFVI, FFV, FFIV and FFIX IMO.

I do not agree with the quote. I mean, it's true, but there's nothing wrong with it. Check the title. It's called Musashi: Samurai Legend. Now go watch Rurouni Kenshin and listen to what Mr. Himura has to say about one-on-one fighting.
I like the game, but it is crappy. Did I mention the crap voices?
I have to say the worst one I ever played wuz Final Fantasy Tactics the battles wuz long and I just couldn't really stand playing it. Like just one battle took like almost 30 min. Levelin up on that game would take forever.
The best Square game is 2 hard for me to decide I love their games lol even though some don't...everyone has his or her own option XD

Then he'd mention how annoying it was that he spent most of his time running after monsters who he'd nearly defeated and would then just run off.Quote:

NEVER accuse a person of not giving a game a chance after ten minutes, especially one who played through to the end of FFX and then some just so people would stop accusing him of "not giving the game a chance". I've masochistically "given it a chance" to enough games to last fifteen lifetimes and as far as I'm concerned I'll have seventy times the leg to stand on when talking about games I gave a chance. Now I just don't bother reading gaming news, let alone playing them, as when I form opinions of games (ever walked out of a movie that you actually paid entry for? I actually haven't, just so you know. I know what a "chance" is, especially after reaching Penance and conceding I couldn't be bothered.) people just give me :skull::skull::skull::skull: for it because they can't handle this idea that somebody might not agree with them.
I should put that back in my sig.Quote:

P.P.S. Final Fantasy VII. Final Fantasy V. Parasite Eve II. GoldenEye 007. Yoshi's Island. Zelda: Link's Awakening. Mortal Kombat Deception. Soul Calibur. Tomb Raider. DOOM. Starwing. What do they all have in common? They're games I didn't initially like, gave them a chance anyway and really got into.
P.P.P.S. Super Mario 64. Final Fantasy X. Both games I've completed almost 100% and still hate, but people kept telling me I wasn't giving them a chance. They still do.
tl;dr : The "ten minute" thing is an exaggeration, I played longer than that, still couldn't get into it, and I've done the same thing with so many games that I've no longer the patience for it, especially with the "you must love this or else you're not my friend!" attitude of most gamers these days.
I strongly disliked Ehrgeiz: God Bless the Ring because it seemed like a horribly incomplete fighting game experience. From what I remember of the game, I hated its Quest Mode about the two archeologists looking for treasure and ending up in a strange, remote village.
My least favourite Square-game is Kingdom Hearts. I don't think mixing FF and Disney was a good idea at all, and I never got used to having Goofy and Donald in my party. Sora to me looked like a bad and simplified version of the typical FF-hero.
My favourite Square game is FF-X.
Agreed, agreed. I actually didn't know what VII was before I played it. I own the whole series now with the exception of XI. I played PE/II because I became a fan of Squaresoft. I like MK and SC but hate Bond games and most Nintendo games.Quote:

The battle system, of which can clearly not be judged after 10 minutes or these "higher levels" you speak of.
Unlimited Saga. Worst birthday present ever =/.
Dragon Quest 8 gets a mention too. I know a lot of people loved it but it just wasn't my cup of tea.
Was mastering all the classes as frustrating as in DW VII?
Probably FF8, honestly. But as far as non-FF games, I'd say that SaGa Frontier 2 is just awful.
Unlimited Saga clearly wins this thread. I don't care what anyone says.
Ergheiz was pretty awful.
I'll toss in the name Wonder Project J since no one else has yet. I really thought I'd love it, but it turned out to be so tedious I didn't even finish the thing.
Either FFII or Chocobos Dungeon II (don't remember why, just that I didn't like it at all)
Haven't played Ehrgeiz since I was around 8 and I had no taste in games...so if I replayed it I'd probably dislike it more.
Has to be FF X-2, WTF was this!!!!
First post!!!!!
IMO the worst by square would have to either be the Bouncer cause that game sucked extremely, or FF7. (lol for my first post i must be asking for a verbal beatdown)
...?
Oh YES! I cannot believe I forgot about Unltd. Saga. That game's Story-telling and Travel system made blood gush out of my tearducts. I was fine with the battle system but it just wasn't enough.
Unfortunately, real life was created by God, not Squaresoft, aka, his creepy subsidiaries. Therefore, it does not merit mention in this thread.Quote:

I believe an honorable mention should go to the horrid Saga Frontier series as well.
Star Oceans 1, 2 and 3.
As for Square i'd have to say Bushido Blade 2. It's nowhere good that the first game was at. That's up there with Brave Fencer Musashi and Final Fantasy VIII.
Enix, well that's a toughie since I haven't played many Enix games other than Dragon Warrior and EVO.
ffx-2 that was the crappest game ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Star Ocean series is published by Enix and developed by tri-ACE; therefore, they are not really Square Enix or Enix games like Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest.Quote:

Tetra master annoyed me in some ways but in others I loved Tetra Master... just getting those cards drove me insane :/
FFVIII Was...strange... Guns and swords in one? Not my thing to be honest and the magic system made me what to drown kittens.
