is this the worst final fantasy game?

[aeris2001x2]

i,m on my second play through and mastering is coming along well, but all rational2 me says this game sucks! yet its fun!

of all the numbered ffs, it really is bad. ok its better then ff tactics, mystic quest and possibly ff crystal cronicles which i,m yet 2 play.

i guess i just expected more. the j-pop is nice but its definitly the worst ff soundtrack.some vey nice pieces still though,like gagazet and the intro.

the story is utter s***. most of the new characters are very forgettable except shinra. the dress sphere system sucks, as does the garment grids.

this new atb system is chaos. in trying to address the "slowness" and "predictability" of ffx they have gone way over the top. i mastered it after a while, but it does take getting used too.

how many awful sub games can be cramed into one game? blitzball 2 the revenage, sphere break,thunder plains bolt fixing, VERY disapointing chochobo ranch, calm lands answer to "gold saucer" falls flat. even that gunners gauntlet is horrible. and i spent ages getting 2800 points on it. it was so dull.

anyway rant over. what r you ppls thoughts? is it the worse of the roman numeral ffs? or does ff8 still hold that crown?(though it still rules.

this is the first of the proper ffs not 2 be genius or get in my top games chart. that says it all 4 me. dont get me wrong,its a great game. but by ff standards its terrible...
