Least Favourite Final Fantasy

[Carl the Llama]

Thats right, a new numbered entry means a new poll, discuss here which is your least favourite Final Fantasy ^^.

Final Fantasy VII Spinoffs, they are so overrated.

[I Don't Need A Name]

Final Fantasy V. I will get a lot of hate, but there's little story and I hate job systems

[Raistlin]

FFX. It's close between VIII, X, and XIII, but I'm giving XIII some credit for having a good, unique battle system. And I haven't played VIII in so long that my disappointment has waned. X had poor characters, poor gameplay, and at times a story that almost rivals FFXIII's writing.

EDIT: IDNAN, you are a horrible person. Job systems are the best!

Is it bad I cant remember what I voted for despite only voting for whatever I voted for only 3 hours ago? =( my brain hurts.

I knew it was a good idea to put the FFVII spinoffs in a separate catagory ^^

[Raistlin]

I should qualify my statements with the fact that I have not actually played the FFVII spinoffs, so I could not vote for them -- though they do make a good claim for my vote simply by existing (see also: FFX-2).

[Loony BoB]

FFII. I'm far more vocal about my dislike for FFX, admittedly, but only because I can't stand the main characters. The gameplay I really enjoyed. FFII? There was nothing to the characters and the gameplay was terrible.

[TrollHunter]

Either FFII or FFXIII...
Both were awful.
I would add FFX-2 to that list but at least it had solid game-play.

Final Fantasy V.

It seems, my friend, that you and I were never meant to be friends.

I'm throwing in for XIII. Never played XI or XIV, though. Never really even touched the VII Compilation either so I'm kind of out of date.

Explanation: XIII I only ever finished because a) I bought it, and b) it's a numbered Final Fantasy game. It's only the second game in the series that I actually put down and stopped playing for a time during my initial playthrough - briefly during Palompolum, for a week or so during the Chocobo park bit with Sazh, and then almost permanently after the the Fifth Ark part or whatever it was called. After I finished the final boss I was so unimpressed with the ending and the game as a whole that I ended up actually trading it in a few weeks later and I rarely, rarely trade games.

As opposed to most people who disliked the game, I actually liked the combat. Especially when you get free reign over it in chapter 11. The problem is that for me I found very little else to enjoy outside the combat. XIII felt to be like a game about combat that happened to also be an adventure, as opposed to one about an adventure that includes combat as one of its major elements.

EDIT: Overall I'd give the game a 4/10 with at least one of those four points being because of this song and the location that accompanies it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4q3tKL2mRl4

I apologise good sir!

What?

[Hollycat]

I honestly don't hate any of them, the ones I played were all enjoyable, and I dont want to say xiii because I have only played through chapter 6.....
If I had to go with one I thought was the least enjoyable or had the littlest replay value, for the first option I would have to say 8, because honestly, the game felt very easy and repetative and dark all the time to me, and for the second option, TA2, the laws in that game ruined it for me, especially when I was on a battle where it was illegal to attack monsters, but nothing but monsters where in the match.

[Laddy]

Compilation, no doubt. I like all of the games, but games like say...Dirge of Cerberus? No.

Compilation, no doubt. I like all of the games, but games like say...Dirge of Cerberus? No.

Exactly, games like that don't belong in the canon.

XIII. Not only was it even worse than VIII and my least favourite FF game by a huge margin but it is the worst game in my PS3 collection. The only reason I still have it is because I forked out £60 for the limited addition believing the hype....what a fool I was. It is unlikely I will ever play it again.

That said, I'm sure I'd vote for the VII compilation if I had played any of them (which I never will)
