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.
