Least Favourite Final Fantasy

[TrollHunter]

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......

Exactly, the classes in combat were really fun to use, but I skip every cut-scene I possibly can. It's just... not worth it. At times I couldn't tell if they were going for intentionally stupid or not. Need I even bring up character design?

You think that Zell is considered more serious then the crew of FFX-2? Seriously? they guy was a smurftard, I loved the way they were after the seriousness of X, cmon how would you behave, you went from sacrifice to world hero and found the guy you were in love with was still around, after all you have done you think the world owes you some fun right, so Yuna's behaviour is completely expected, secondly, as my favourite Ronso once said "Rikku should stay Rikku" and that's exactly what she did, Paine was the aloof one of the 3 so I'm not sure who you mean aside from Rikku who is staying true to her personality, sure Le Blanc was annoying but the game makes up for it by allowing you to lay the smack down on her so many times.

The game was awesome fun to play and the battle system was the best in any Final Fantasy game out there, and the mini games were awesome aswell (I loved Sphere Break), and (if you went far enough through the game) Yuna and Tidus got their happy ending, tell me where the bad is..?

[TrollHunter]

I say that him and Rikku are pretty equal honestly.
Personally I just think the game wasn't needed story wise. It was wrapped up at the end of X as it should've been.
Just because it's understandable doesn't mean it's tolerable. Rikku got far more annoying alongside Yuna and it was so peppy for most of it I wanted to rip my ears off. Paine seemed to be thrown in at the last minute, and she's just a generic emo girl wielding a big sword.
The character design for nearly all the characters is atrocious as most of them are just sluttier versions of their previous designs...
I mean for christ's sake look at LeBlanc I mean really...

I just think they overdid the silly antics and that the game didn't know what it wanted to be. It went from serious to stupid over and over again. Most of the writing was cheesier than the original, and the cringe-worthy moments were in nearly every scene.

The battle system is the games only saving grace.

EDIT: Keep in mind, I'm not trying to convince you that the game is rubbish, I'm just stating why I believe that it is. To each his own.

I had to say ffxiv cuz i actually played that game for a day or 2 and i never played ffxi. the fact they give ffxi and ffxiv a number i think is retarded. its a mmorpg makes it harder to say "i've played and beaten all ff games in the number series" it should have just been called final fantasy online and final fantasy online 2 or something like that lol. I thought about voting for all the ff7 spin offs cuz ff7 has gotten to be really overrated now because of them. i would like ff7 a lot more without those spin-offs and all of its overrated unnecessary attention it has gotten compared to some other truly great, possibly more deserving, final fantasy games in the series. That's just my opinion, but that would be a silly reason to not like a game so i eased off of that section and picked a more honest choice for myself.

Final Fantasy XIII. While it wasn't terrible as such, I just don't think it really belongs under the FF banner. That game could have been called something completely different and I probably wouldn't have thought "Hmm, this reminds me of a Final Fantasy game".

I think that if they focused less on making it so visually appealing and added a bit more bulk to the story, maybe had a less stupid battle system (I REALLY don't like controlling just one character because the computer controlled one often doesn't do what you want - and how even if your other party members are on full health when you get KO'd it's still game over) and gave the characters a bit more depth and development then it would have been a much better game. I also hate how some bosses have a time limit on them when they have crazy amounts of health, crazy attacks and your party's attacks and healing abilities are pathetic. Maybe if levelling up worked a bit better I wouldn't think it as big of a deal, but... Eh.

I can only really enjoy the game if I pretend that it isn't an FF game.

I hate the VII trout-outs not merely for what they are, but also for what they represent; piss-weak and unoriginal staff trying to scrape back some dignity by attempting to latch onto the glory of the golden era.

[Kenshin IV]

As someone who has not played the MMOs, I was debating whether to put Eight or Thirteen when, to my pleasant surprise, I saw the option for the entire Compilation of Final Fantasy VII separate from Final Fantasy VII (my favorite in the series).

I gladly chose the trash known as the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII.

[ReloadPsi]

As much as I thought X, XI and the FFVII spinoffs were vacuous dross, no one game made me yell abuse and basic storytelling advice at the screen as much as Final Fantasy XIII, granted that's because my friend put me up to it but still.

FF13's hopelessly lazy storytelling method is "new" and "original" for a reason: everyone who came before it knew better.

[Clyde]

Final Fantasy 2. It was the only game in the series that I didn't like.

[Alpha2099]

I can only speak for games I've played or attempted to play. In general, I don't have many complaints about the games, except for a couple:

FF3 (the NES copy, not the DS one) is WAY too hard toward the end. It becomes an endurance test by the end, and when it was over, I was glad to be done with it, which is not the feeling you should have when you beat a game.

FF5's story bored me, so I quit halfway. Looking back, I'd like to try again, and just focus more on the job system, which at its core is pretty cool.

FF12 didn't sit well with me at all. I really didn't like the License Grid. That thing was just lame. I also felt that the battle system became too confusing with all the gambits and techniques and things. Whatever happened to "It's your turn, would you like to attack, use magic, use an item, or run?"

[Spooniest]

Whatever anyone says, Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest is the worst game in the series, period. Yes, worse than II. Come on! It's so bad that people forget to include it in the series!

It doesn't just suck. It's trying to suck.

[Gamblet]

It doesn't just suck. It's trying to suck.

Yeah, my tit.

[DarkBahamut]

I feel bad for Crisis Core, because I'm sure most of the votes gone towards FF7 Spinoffs are because of DoC.

[Hollycat]

I feel bad for Crisis Core, because I'm sure most of the votes gone towards FF7 Spinoffs are because of DoC.

Most Assuredly.
Crisis core is pretty epic on most scales.

[Jessweeee♪]

Crisis core is why I didn't vote the FFVII spinoffs. The sad thing about it is that everything that recaps what we already saw in FFVII is really amazing, and everything else (especially Genesis) sucks ass. Angeal is...okay.
