Which do you think was the hands down worse Final Fantasy game you ever played? To me it was XIII. Just an all around disappointment in my book. Good graphics but I think that's the only thing that barely save it.

For me, it's Final Fantasy X-2. I loved FFX so much, so when I played FFX-2 I was pretty disappointed because it's really not as good as FFX.
Depends. I mean, obviously something like the NES Final Fantasy titles aren't as good as anything that followed. No story, tinny and short songs, the barest minimum graphical representation. The gameplay is decent, although it's not the most intuitive or user friendly. I stress making a game user friendly is not the same as making the game easy!
However, if you look at the titles relatively as products of their era, the NES titles are comfortably some of the best games of their time with the technology available to developers. FFXIII is probably the worst by those standards. I would not find a place for it in the top 10 or probably even top 20 games of that console generation while I easily could for most of the other Final Fantasy titles.
I'd go with Crisis Core or Dissidia
There is only one Final Fantasy game that I genuinely dislike. That is Final Fantasy X. I've never played X-2 but I'd probably hate that too. I couldn't stand a single character in X.
Final Fantasy XIII was the worst one out of the ones I played. It was just boring.
FF8. I wasn't particularly fond of the character/battle mechanics, but it was the story and characters that made me despise it.
I thought XIII-2 was total crap.

Gee... I wonder. :wcanoe:
Main series wise, I enjoyed 8 the least. Of all the games in the franchise I've tried, though, the only one I've outright hated was FFIV: The After Years. I did the first three stories and thought each was worse than the last. Yang's blew goats with such panache that I've never gone back since beating the boss in the forest maze.
Since my list got blown up along with my hard drive, I guess I can say it already...
Worst numbered game: X and XIII (for different reasons, which is why I can't ultimately choose between the two)
Worst from the overall franchise: Dirge of Cerberus. God damn, that game was stupid.
13 easily, followed by 3 and 4.
XIII is the worst and the only FF I have played that I actually dislike.
XIII-2. It was so horrible. The excitement of a new FF game wore off quickly in that game, and it's the only one I ever just stopped playing and never picked back up. It was so bad I didn't even attempt to pick up Lightning Returns.
Of the few that I've played, I enjoyed IV the least. It didn't have the charm that I - III or that V had. You were also constantly restricted to what felt like the worst party formations for most of the game. Also, I hear it's usually a bad idea to level up past 70, so I felt I unnecessarily worried about my levels through the entire game.
I've only played a few - X, X-2, XII and the XIII trilogy - but my least favourite so far was probably XII.
I really liked it, but it felt like it went on a BIT too long.
Also, quite a lot of grinding was necessary to defeat the final boss. I don't mind having to grind to defeat optional bosses, but you ought to be able to defeat the main storyline boss pretty much by just playing the main storyline.
The combat system did start to bore me a bit in the last quarter, as well.
All that being said, I still think it's a really good game, which I very much enjoyed playing.

It was the only one I couldn't stand to finish besides VIII, which I may have been unfair to and will get back to it with a new look.
If we're talking about the mainline numbered games, I'd have to say Final Fantasy III.
Otherwise, Final Fantasy: All the Bravest is hands down the worst.

Blasphemy.
Definitely FFI - it was just so rough around the edges from being made when developers were still discovering what works and doesn't work in a game. Even in all the wonderful remakes, a lot of its failures still rear their ugly heads.
There isn't a single game I've disliked. Least favorite is probably Final Fantasy III, it felt the least interesting to me, still a fun game.
Dirge of Cerberus.
