>> The worst RPGs you ever played..

[GooeyToast]

Did I say that?

No, I said it wasn't total crap, you can't resign it to that when it has redeeming features, and those redeeming features can be applied to the game as a whole making it easier and quite a lot more fun.

The only thing that let it down was the dumb, endlessly dumb story, and the fact that Squall was just a complete idiot.

I liked the Gunblade though.

I found the battles really slow, and didn't really think to run away consistently until a ways into the game, so I got stuck fairly leveled up, which is apparently not what you want in VIII. But I'd still call it crap because I play an RPG for its story, and a story so bad as FFVIII's doesn't deserve a game.

EDIT: And I thought the Gunblade was stupid.

If you thought the system was slow, then you could always raise the battle speed meter. Also, FF8's battle system wasn't nearly as slow as FF9's. I enjoyed 8 though, along with 7, 9, and 10. It may not have had the best story line, but it did have tons of hours of side-quests & thousands of different customibility options. In fact, I played a file of 8 for over 105 hrs.

Oh, as far as my worst RPG's go, I can't really choose any. I usually do research before I buy one so I know if it's good or not. But, if I had to pick some, I'd have to choose:

Unlimited Saga
Shining Tears
Legend of Lagaia
