Overrated: FFVI, FFVII, and FFX
When will people relaize that there are nine other games to this series:rolleyes2.
Now I love FFVI and I've even started to like FFVII after I spent a few years cleansing myself from their rabid fans. X is my least favorite in the series but overall I feel it was average at best and I'm probably more bitchy about it than I actually mean to be. It's most likely cause dealing with their fans is like dealing with the VII fans back in the day. Hell, even the VI fans are pretty damn annoying.
Now granted all three games are good in their own right but come on people... There are better villains than Kefka, better heroes than Cloud, and better love stories, characters and general writing than FFX
Underrated: FFI-III
Am I the only person who played these games and thought "Damn this is good! and this was made when?" Honestly, the games actually have pretty good stories and gameplay mechanics that I feel let them stand equally besides the overrated games I've mentioned above. These games definetly have a more addictive and open ended style than the later games. They were pretty damn innovative for their times.
XI gets an honorable mention cause I've never played it but it's never actually mentioned in discussions so it's definetly the "blacksheep" of the series and that I cannot deny.
FFs that are not actually under/overrated: FFIV, V, VIII, IX, and XII
The first two seem to always be considered underrated but let's be honest. Most of the time they are actually being overshadowed by the three established overrated games and are actually pretty well respected. Out of all the games in the series, these two recieve the least hate so it's not like they are being really overlooked. I also don't feel these games (mind you I love these two) have the same sheer impact like the others cause their fanbase is generally small compared to the overrated games.
VIII, IX, and XII are the oddities in the series. Of all the games in the series these three seem to have the most definitive love/hate relationships. I rarely meet people who say they only think the above three games are "O.K." It's usually either "I love it!" or "I hate it!". Granted the overrated games have similiar relationships among the fans but these three I don't feel have the sheer volume of fanbase like the overrated games and are thus "oddities" in the series.
Just my opinion though...
