Controversial opinions about Final Fantasy

[Bubba]

I quite like Tidus.

[Wolf Kanno]

I like how each game has tried new things, but I really wish they had revisited II's character advancement along the way, as they did with III's Job System evolution. I mean, III did it pretty well, but V polished it to near-perfection. So I reckon in a similar vein, another shot at II's style would have really been something. I still love II's advancement even though it's unbalanced and open to abuse.

The main reason why FF never really followed up on it was because the SaGa franchise did instead. Makes sense, when you realize the mastermind behind II's advancement system went off to create the SaGa franchise for Square.

I think my only really unpopular opinion about the series is that FFX isn't that good, it was really mediocre and I felt it tried too hard to be some PS2 tech demo.

Fans don't know what they are talking about.

And that is not just an opinion.

I think FFX's story is weak, with lots of forced drama and characters written by someone who fails to comprehend basic human emotion.

lots of forced drama and characters written by someone who fails to comprehend basic human emotion.

My unpopular opinion is that most, if not all, FF games fall under this category. That's why I like the series, though! It gives the games a unique and fun charm.

Final Fantasy games, generally speaking, have poor to average world plots.

[metagloria]

V is way better than IV and VI
VIII is way better than IX
X-2 is better than X
Lightning Returns actually kind of rules

and, repeated by request from another thread,

XIII is better than VI.

[Carl the Llama]

I find VII vastly overrated.

The Compilation of FFVII should never have happened.

FFVII, while a good game, isn't as good as the hype makes it out to be. It's probably the fourth or fifth best game in the series.

I thought we were talking about controversial opinions here lol, I have seen those opinions far and wide all across the internet

My controversial opinion is that Aerith is one of, if not the best and most well balanced fighters the series has seen. If you want her to be a fighter there is more then enough resources do make her so, and like wise with magic/summons.

[Pumpkin]

I agree she's awesome in a fight. Overall though I think she's a horrible little woman

[Fynn]

lots of forced drama and characters written by someone who fails to comprehend basic human emotion.

My unpopular opinion is that most, if not all, FF games fall under this category. That's why I like the series, though! It gives the games a unique and fun charm.

Even if that's the case (which is heavily debatable, IMO), X really does try to come off as serious and touching and fails spectacularly

One of the reasons why I think X-2 is much better is that it treats itself much less seriously. True, you get those sappy, cringe-worthy moments too, but you also get a minigame where you have to help a villain reach an orgasm. So yeah

wait what =|

[Forsaken Lover]

Final Fantasy II was a good game.

Final Fantasy XII is one of, if not the, best FF games.

The voice-acting in Final Fantasy X isn't bad. Tidus in particular was perfect for his role.

Final Fantasy IV has the best soundtrack in the series.

[Pumpkin]

I actually loved Yuna's voice acting

[Fynn]

wait what =|

LeBlanc massage scene? "ooh, that's nice..." "OOOH! THERE!"

[Pike]

Final Fantasy II was a good game.

FFII was great. One of the best games in the series. One of my top three in fact.
