I'm throwing in for XIII. Never played XI or XIV, though. Never really even touched the VII Compilation either so I'm kind of out of date.
Explanation: XIII I only ever finished because a) I bought it, and b) it's a numbered Final Fantasy game. It's only the second game in the series that I actually put down and stopped playing for a time during my initial playthrough - briefly during Palompolum, for a week or so during the Chocobo park bit with Sazh, and then almost permanently after the the Fifth Ark part or whatever it was called. After I finished the final boss I was so unimpressed with the ending and the game as a whole that I ended up actually trading it in a few weeks later and I rarely, rarely trade games.
As opposed to most people who disliked the game, I actually liked the combat. Especially when you get free reign over it in chapter 11. The problem is that for me I found very little else to enjoy outside the combat. XIII felt to be like a game about combat that happened to also be an adventure, as opposed to one about an adventure that includes combat as one of its major elements.
EDIT: Overall I'd give the game a 4/10 with at least one of those four points being because of this song and the location that accompanies it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4q3tKL2mRl4
