Worst Final Fantasy GamesFollow

Are we counting Mystic Quest?

Worst one by far was X-2, I enjoyed the music video CS more than the actual gameplay <.<

7 will always live on as my first love when it comes to RPG's.
Before I played FF7, the closest I had come to RPG's was probably Shining Force I and II.

7 was and still is awesome in my books, and I also loved 8.

I loved the fact that the summons actually gave you additional powers, instead of just having Guardian Force to summon.

9 was good, and I still need to find a copy somewhere.

10 I will never complete all the sidequests of (F*ck you stupid chocobo balloon racing BS)

11 was a waste of money (They should have named it FF Online, that way they could have releases a proper FF game as FF XI

12 is.....different. I'm enjoying the change of scenery, but when you reach the second desert area and run into a giant wolf that rips you to shreds, it's not fun.

and 4, the current one I am playing...I don't think I'll ever see that F*cking rainbow pudding...ever.

I have farmed that thing for like 4 hours.

I hated 1 through 4. Honestly if I had played them when they first came out I might have liked them, but IMO they just didn't hold up over time.

I thought 5 and 6 was ok. Once again I prob would have loved them (Especially 6 it had a great story) if I had played them when they were new. Really Final Fantasy 6 deserves a 3D remake more then any other Square Soft game IMO.

I know people like to think they are cool for hating it, but I loved FF7. I played it about 3 years after it came out and still loved it. Liked the Battle System, Story, Character development, etc.

Final Fantasy 8 was kinda meh. Didn't like the whole sucking magic to gain stats thing, wasn't a fan of the love story. Played through it and enjoyed it I guess.

Final Fantasy 9 was one step above Final Fantasy 9 in my book. What else can I say?

Final Fantasy X was great IMO. I loved about everything about it. I honestly don't know if I like FF7 or FFX the best. Both were great games for their time. I really want to say X but I think its just the fancier graphics and such talking.

Final Fantasy X-2 was ok but really not needed. They went overboard with the "Hey look at me I am a Ps2 rendered chick in a sexy outfit" IMO. Also trying to get the good ending was absolute BS.

I can't tell you how much I hated Final Fantasy 12. They took a game that should be based on strategy and turned it into a action RPG. The gambit system was BS. I mean trash mobs were so easy you could literally throw the controller in the floor and get up and take a leak and come back and they would be dead. Then you get to a boss and if you don't have your Gambits set up just right you might as well just forget it. I also disliked the characters and the story. Biggest waste of $50 I ever spent. I got about 10 hours into the game and finally said hell with it. I think the giant bird boss in the desert was the final straw for me.

I never played FF11 since it was a monthly MMORPG etc etc.

I have my doubts on FF13. I think since Square did there merger a few years back they have went down hill. I played a few other of their games since then and I have not been impressed.

Personally I think 4 and 9 are the worst, and for mostly the same reasons. 9 was basically just a rehash of 4 with a different skill system and better graphics.

(Dear Square, the whole main-villain-is-my-brother-and-we're-both-from-the-moon thing isn't quite as cool the second time around.)

After a while the only thing that kept me playing FF9 was my love of Freya and Eiko.

12 was just the single player version of 11. I felt liek I was doing the exact same stuff in that game. Camping NM, grinding, and stuff. It didn't seem like a FF game.

7, well, while it ushered in the 3D era, which may or may not be a bad thing, wasn't as great as it's previous games. Basically it was one emo guy with a big sword chasing another emo guy with a big sword.... Hmm, was that? LOL

10-2. Wow...they sold their soul to the devil to make that game. I only know one person that beat the game. That's dedication. Or insanity.

A tip for Rainbow Pudding: Get about 20 Siren. Go to the save room in the Antlion Den. Make sure you save before hand. Continue to use the Siren until you get the drop or you run out. If you run out, reset the game and start over. I got mine on the second set of 20. So about 35ish tries. In that room, you always get 4 puddings.

Doug, you are probably the only people on the planet who didn't like Tactics.

I never did get into the tactics game. I seem to recall playing one of them on the GBA and hating it though.

I don't like it either. Unless I need something to put me to sleep.

What about the psp version?

You're kidding right? The DS is one of the best systems out there right now.

I respectfully disagree, I had one, it took all of 6 months for the damn tocuhscreen thing to wear out. Not to mention that the prices alone of both the DS and PSP were/are ridiculous. I bought handhelds before because they were cheap, durable, and easy to carry, and had fun games. The DS is only one of those things. A large chunk of it's collection of games are re-releases, educational BS, and childrens' games.

I'll stick with my GBA and GBP thank you.
