Worst/Least Favorite Final Fantasy Game?

[SpoonyBard]

I never played either, but looking from the outside in, I really really reaaaaaaaaaaaaaally doubt that FF13 is a worse game than FF2.

I'm going to preface this by saying that Final Fantasy 2, overall, is probably worse than 13.

But I picked up 13 for the 360 and was immediately turned off by the combat, the characters (except Sazh) and the story. Everywhere I turn, I see people saying "The game gets better at the 24 hour mark!" (or however long it was)

So I grit my teeth and go through the game until I get to the "better" part...

A large open field where I can help to fulfill the dying wishes of rocks...

...So I turned the game off and put it away. My roommate at the time moved out a few months later and took our spare 360 with him. Disc 3 still happened to be in it, but I didn't care enough to bring it up at the time.


Fast forward about 6 months, i'm bored and go into a game store. I see the PS3 version on sale for a few bucks and decide to give it another try. At this point I didn't really remember what I had disliked about it before. I plug away for awhile with ever growing reluctance. Once again, I stuck another 25 hours into this game I haven't been enjoying looking for the part where it's supposed to get better. When I reached it, I remembered, then I quit.


Final Fantasy 2 may be downright unplayable, but i've never quit any other game i've stuck 25+ hours into. Yet I did it with Final Fantasy XIII twice.

See, that's the thing though. At least you could play XIII for 25 hrs... twice! I couldn't even spend more than a couple hours before quitting II in disgust.

At any rate, XIII-2 is awesome. It basically takes the good stuff from XIII and then fixes everything people complained about. I wish more dudes gave it a shot.

The new FF looks pretty jammin. Wonder if it will be action based.

Really. Hm.

Is it actually awesome? Or is it just a lot better than XIII? Most people I know that have played (and enjoyed) it still put it under a lot of the other Final Fantasy games. I have a copy, but to be honest, it's constantly pushed to the bottom of my backlog.

Partially because of how little I cared for XIII, but mainly because of how little faith I have in the series after the last decade.

The GBA version of II is great. The leveling system isn't all that exciting, but in general it's a good game and I've played several times and enjoyed each time. Even then it's the weakest of the NES trilogy, but I'd easily take it over anything past X.

I hate to admit I am slightly interested in XIII-3. Always up for a good real time JRPG and yeah, the gameplay just looks completely different from the last two games. Hence why I'm kind of stoked for XV, hoping it'll be like a new age Secret of Mana or something in that vein.

Dunno though.

Worst: All of them

Best: None

[Valkyrie-Favor]

So they're all equally bad?

Hogwash.

[oxymoron]

I just hate Final Fantasy.
