    XIII-2. It was so horrible. The excitement of a new FF game wore off quickly in that game, and it's the only one I ever just stopped playing and never picked back up. It was so bad I didn't even attempt to pick up Lightning Returns.

    Of the few that I've played, I enjoyed IV the least. It didn't have the charm that I - III or that V had. You were also constantly restricted to what felt like the worst party formations for most of the game. Also, I hear it's usually a bad idea to level up past 70, so I felt I unnecessarily worried about my levels through the entire game.

    I've only played a few - X, X-2, XII and the XIII trilogy - but my least favourite so far was probably XII.

    I really liked it, but it felt like it went on a BIT too long.

    Also, quite a lot of grinding was necessary to defeat the final boss. I don't mind having to grind to defeat optional bosses, but you ought to be able to defeat the main storyline boss pretty much by just playing the main storyline.

    The combat system did start to bore me a bit in the last quarter, as well.

    All that being said, I still think it's a really good game, which I very much enjoyed playing.

    Hands down XIII just sucked. I couldn't stand a second of it. I have a collectors issue of XIII-2 sitting in my place with the plastic still on it, not because I want to keep it mint, but because I hated XIII so much I have zero desire to even try that poor excuse of a square title. It was the only one I couldn't stand to finish besides VIII, which I may have been unfair to and will get back to it with a new look.

    If we're talking about the mainline numbered games, I'd have to say Final Fantasy III.

    Otherwise, Final Fantasy: All the Bravest is hands down the worst.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    Final Fantasy IX... i just really hated it's game-play, the story was alright, but the game-play was just bad in my opinion... and Trance was the biggest robbery in the game, never getting a chance to use it, since by the time someone went into Trance another character just landed the killing blow... by not allowing it to roll over into the next fight was just wasting it...

    Definitely FFI - it was just so rough around the edges from being made when developers were still discovering what works and doesn't work in a game. Even in all the wonderful remakes, a lot of its failures still rear their ugly heads.

    There isn't a single game I've disliked. Least favorite is probably Final Fantasy III, it felt the least interesting to me, still a fun game.
