Just completed FFXIII and I think it's what I'd vote for...
But I'll wait a bit. Don't want to make a rash decision.
"They said this day would never come. They said our sights were set too high. They said this country was too divided, too disillusioned to ever come around a common purpose. But on this January night, at this defining moment in history, you have done what the cynics said we couldn't do." - Barack Obama.

They all suck equally in the face of Xenogears.
Also, I voted 8. I got it in the lead. Yay.
Probably II. Unbelievably annoying and difficult to play through.
I don't want to jump on any bandwagons here but I really have to say Final Fantasy VIII. I swear to God, I've seriously tried to play through this game several times and I've never been able to get past the first disk. I reeeeally wanted to enjoy this game. I've been watching HCBailly's Let's Play and I can't say it's impressing me. I'd say the biggest problem I have with it is that I'm not connecting with any of the characters. If I can't connect with the characters, I truly find it difficult to care about their journeys and the overall story. Top that with a fairly poor love story between two, in my opinion, unlikeable characters who really have little chemistry between each other and I have completely lost interest. As intriguing as the junction system is, it's not enough to keep me going.
Oddly enough, I actually loved Final Fantasy II. For it's time, I thought it had a very interesting leveling system and I found it very engaging. It's kind of disappointing that Square-Enix hasn't really done anything with it in the remakes. It's a very dated system and it's especially apparent when they continue to port the game to newer systems.
"It is a well-known fact that all heroes in all tales disliked vegetables as children.
Their legend begins with their overcoming of this weakness, and then continues with a journey filled with hardships.
That noble vegetable, the onion, lives on as a symbol of hardships overcome, and as the mark of a true hero."
To be honest the game I have the least interest in playing is FFI. Not really fair as it is obviously a product of its time but there is absolutely nothing that stands out in that game. I do have respect for the title though so I don't want to throw down the hate.
FFXIII on the other hand could have been so much more than what it was. The design decisions placed in that game are so flawed that I have grown to hate the title. I might rather play it than say FFI but I have less respect for it.
Of course I screwed up and voted FFIII before thinking about what I was gonna post. Darn.
I'm going to have to say XI. Simply by virtue of the fact that it costs $12.95 a month.And now they're doing the same thing with bloody XIV... -_-
FFVII lacked a good main character. I hate Cloud. He was just to cold.. And FFVIII's Squall wasn't much better..
I'm positive I posted an answer in this thread, but I can't find it. Maybe it was in a different thread. That post was in the pre-XIII days, though, when I still thought X was the lame duck of the series (it's pointless to pick on II). Now that I'm all caught up, the easy answer is XIII - hell, I'm frankly stunned it's not getting 100% of the votes. Y'all should be ashamed.
On a positive note, it's good to see two of my top games haven't yet gotten a vote (V and VI)!
You know, the sad thing is, I'm actually starting to think about changing my answer. I'm starting to think XIII really deserves my loathing more cause despite X failing to live up to the expectations I had for it; I can't in good conscience overlook how much XIII took all of X's faults and took it to the nth degree. The fact that XIII makes the interactive movie that is X actually feel like a good game to me is just an astonishing testament to how far XIII took linearity and bad writing...
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
FFXII. The combat was good but not nearly as good as say, X's. The characters of Pneleo and Vaan were annoying and had little to do with anything, (neither did Fran, but I liked her.) The plot lacked the emotional involvement that made me love games such as IV, VI, VII, and IX.
Final Fantasy IX.
It's clearly a kid's game.
The heroes all look really stoopid.
The villain is a crossdresser.
XII gets my vote each and every time.
Ive not come across a game where I hated each and every single little thing about it.
The story was dull, the characters had the same level of personality as a cardboard box, the music sucked, I hated the combat system just all of it, ughhhh.
The only 2 redeeming features of that entire game, Fran and Balthier.
Ive gotten up to the last part of the game and just lost interest and cant bring myself to touch it again.
FFIX For sure.
Story, characters; full of cliche's, and were very dull. Each of the side characters weren't developed well at all; stories of characters like Freya are only touched upon in maybe one scene? Quina is just a dumb, creepy fish thing, with no good back story at all. The story mainly concentrates on Zidane, Vivi, and Garnet.
Battle was way too slow for my liking, even with the battle speed set to the highest possible in the Config menu. There was literally no challenge in it (except for Ozma, which is completely optional... I didn't even find Hades that difficult).
I don't like how it went back to tradition either. They go from FFVIII, probably the most untraditional final fantasy game ever, and then all of sudden want to go back to tradition, and decide to pull enemies from the very first one? Ability system was dull, as is pretty much everything else about the game (save for the music).
Yeah, not my fave, at all.
I didn't pay to become this way
My head throbs
Til it bursts
There is something inviting
About staring into a wall
Covered in lead
You just want to jump into it
- Excerpt from "You Ain't no Family" by Iwrestledabearonce
There are more than 13 Final Fantasy games.
No, it's not.Originally Posted by Carnage-
That game does not suck.
No, VIII and XII are.
That game sucks.
Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings
