    Default Most Average Final Fantasy

    Which Final Fantasy represents the most average, middling entry in the main series?

    For me? V. Does a lot of things well, but isn't in the Top or Bottom Three in any particular area.

    Probably III, although VIII and IX also come to mind for me.

    But I think I'd go with III. Decent entry all around but didn't really stand out to me at all.

    When I read this thread title the first thing that jumped out to me was FF5. It's a good game that I enjoy but is out-shined by my favourite titles in the series but still better than all the titles I dislike.

    Either it's I, III or IV.

    Interesting question Laddy!

    I think I'll have to go with III. It's a solid, competent game. It has no real low points, and it did innovate with the job system, but ultimately it doesn't really have many high points either and is now more-or-less forgettable in the shadow of other FFs that have plots and/or do the job system better.

    FFV has the best job system. For me, FF1 is the most average. FFIX or FFVI after that.

    IV was pretty average. Same with 9 I guess.

    FFIV for me, and FFIX comes next.

    IX and VI are right in that middle for me. XIII could also be in that vicinity. (Note that my "middle" is incredibly biased because the top is huge and the bottom is small.)

    I'm discussing my 108, er, 111 favorite games of all time in THIS THREAD so go check it out and join the conversation!

    Can't think of a single entry I'd considered average.

    Mathematically speaking that means you more or less sort the games into either great or terrible with no middle ground.

    I have never had a "meh" reaction to any FF game. I've either raved about its good points or ranted about its bad points.

    The idea of just being "that was alright" is a strange one.

    Sounds about right.

    III for me. The music is okay, the job system is ok. Everything is ok.
