I'm actually quite surprised at the spread of the votes.

Me too. Historically, there have been just one or two FFs that everyone hated, the primary game being FFVIII. The new fad is FFXIII. Other than some FF newbs picking FFI or FFII I don't know what's going on here.

I think the writing in FFX-2 is a lot better than people give it credit for. Not the best in the series maybe, but I would describe it as "good, with limited appeal."

I haven't played the game but I imagine this is probably true, based on what I've seen about the demographic of gamers. The quality of the actual writing is never their concern but more whether or not they find the surface content appealing. I should really give this game a spin, although I never really liked X...

You should man, I honestly don't know why so many people hate it.

Because the lead characters are all obnoxious as hell.
EDIT: or well... a LOT more so than usual.

A lot more then say... Zell or Tidus or Hope or Snow or Vanille... need I continue? lol

XIII... I liked (notice how I said 'liked', for any other game I would've said 'loved') the story and characters, but the gameplay was just so BAD... I hated only being able to control the party leader. Also, parts of the story were just way to melodramatic and cliche for me :l. A lot of cutscenes just made me feel.. awkward while watching them.

I loved VIII even though, apparently, a lot of people didn't. Hate the story, characters, and drawing system all you want, but at least VIII had a world map filled with different towns and such to explore, shops, a nice weapon upgrading system, and side-quests. When it comes to XIII, you either play for the story or you don't play at all.

I would disagree the writing in X-2 is good, it's pretty silly and can get cringe worthy at times. What was amusing was that it actually tried to incorporate a deeper plot but then that's when the game's writing really kind of screws up cause it can't decide if its going to be a plucky fun story about Yuna adventuring or a darker and more somber tale about the political strife in the post-Sin world and the re-emerging of dark elements from Spira's past. It never quite balanced it very well and I honestly feel its climatic moment of "WTF?!" was when Yuna decided to sing a JPOP song to unite Spira together and just drop all the political shenanigans. I may love Macross/Robotech, but this was ridiculous.Shuyin is also a bit of a whiny bitch and considering how most of his past drama is kind of his own fault for taking a bad situation and making it worse, honestly, I felt Lenne should have been the vengeful boss, not Shuyin.

Actually, yes they were. 10-2 had a lead cast that made those characters look like they were dead serious.
WK pretty much described my thoughts on X-2 exactly...

Final Fantasy XIII. I think it's a decent game and I enjoyed playing it, but it cannot, by any means, meet the standards of a Final Fantasy. It's not bad, the others are just better.

[I Don't Need A Name]

Seems I'm the only V hater. I will have to hunt down and kill the VI hater though!

[Benjirino~!]

I've not played XIV, so by default my least favourite is XI. I just can't get into MMORPG's. The thing that sets FF apart from other RPGs is the incredible personal stories of the characters, and that just can't be achieved with the same effect on an MMO. I tried XI, but I just couldn't get along with it.

[sharkythesharkdogg]

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

Inorite? This is my summary of that game. The only reason I kept playing was for the battle system and things like that. The story was just........oh god......
