if you haven't already, why not check out my IMHO: top 5 best FF games, if indeed you even give a sh*t about my opinion :P!

OK so here goes IMHO the top worst 5 FF games!

5. Final Fantasy VII
NOW before i get huge stick for this, i KNOW this is a good Final Fantasy. Its just its been milked to DEATH now. I'll admit i enjoyed it i really did, but they just couldn't leave it at that. Advent Children? Dirge of Cerberus? How many Times can Sephiroth come back alive? It was a good FF and the first proper 3D one, but it is also the most commercial in the sense they saw people like it, so made movies and more games about it?! How man other FF's have such 'oh, we aren't doing this to just to make more profit out of FF7 lovers' sequels made for them!? X-2? we will get to that..

4. Final Fantasy IV
I just.. didn't like it. The characters seem really stiff... Tellah seems just like a grumpy old bastard, the twins Palom and Porom are just annoying, Edward is a wimp, Rosa seems like a dumb blonde, Cecil is emo, ETC. The music is also the worst for this game as well and i realize it was made quite some time back, but Final Fantasy III had awesome music! I thought it was really hard as well (that maybe just me, but never mind) and upon dying, my will to resume from my most recent save was almost as appealing as sleeping with a burning cactus under my pillow. Another thing to add to the kick in the nuts about the difficulty, is the fact its the only FF title i know of that uses 5 characters in battle! and you STILL loose! It annoyed me also about the Row system. its either have 3 in front and 2 in back, or 2 in front and 3 in back.. WHY CANT WE JUST CHOOSE?
Gah, im sorry FF4 lovers, but it just didnt stir well for me :(.

3. Final Fantasy IX
This got me into Final Fantasy. At the time i thought it was THE sex. The Bomb. The Bees Knees. Only after playing some Other FF titles did i realize this one had areas of weakness that over shadowed game enjoyment. First off it feels like when you get into a battle it takes AGESSS to actually get to player controlled combat. And then you feel like your waiting an age for your ATB meter to fill! Characters like Quina.. (enough said about him/her/it before i even get started on the characters because seriously.. WTF!) ruined the game for me already by trying to add this comical effect when it just really wasn't needed (hence why i never had 'it' in my party). The other characters were alright in all fairness, if not coming off a bit too 'this is my character description and i will stick to it regardless of the situation just to not appear to learn anything from the stories events'.
The music was disappointing. it was good and bad. Yin and Yang. the battle and boss battle music, i thought was very weak and not like the catchy music from previous titles. Saying that it had some very touching music at times that i DID like, ie the last boss music. The last boss, eh? Well 3 words for that. Deus Ex Machina. WHERE the hell did this 'Necron' come from? its like we dont hear a single mention of him for the entire game, and since Kuja (who is so feminine he must have been at least Bi) was not strong enough for a last boss, so they threw in a random guy who, to be honest is only tough if he uses certain moves, comes to wrap it all up. Original thinking there guys.

2. Final Fantasy II
I will be the first to admit i havent played this one a huge amount. and the sole reason is the reason i hate it so much. The level up system. WTF. Its like.. if you want to train strength, you attack, if you want your HP to rise, you have to get hit from enemies (or allies, if you found enemies seemed to not want to hit your lowest HP character, so compromised by having your own comrades fight and pray you dont KO them)?! If you wanted to Magic to increase you had to cast spells?! It seemed like a good idea to me but SERIOUSLY how can anyone not see this as being slightly flawed?! What the Hell was wrong with you get X EXP and go up to Level X!?! How can you mess up something so simple?!
But enough of that, im sorry if anyone liked FF2, but i just found its level up scheme to ruin the game, because if i cant fight the enemies to progress...

*drum roll*

and finally.. the worst FF game IMHO..

1. Final Fantasy X-2
Correct me if i am wrong, but Final Fantasy games were about adventure? treasure? story? big battles with coma-inducing graphics? little numbers on a screen that seemed to rule our lives?
So with that in mind, you can probably guess i had a bit of a shock when i popped FFX-2 into my unwilling PS2. Singing? Dancing? No.. surely this cannot be the right game?! Oh but it was. At first i thought it was aimed for girls (which is a no problem, but i always felt FF was strictly Unisex, as in it appealed to both genders) with all the singing, dancing, costumes.. but then it hit me. 3 Stereotypical female characters, all in skimpy clothing. Oh, this was aimed at guys alright.
The one thing i didnt like was the clothes. Changing clothes.. for new abilities and such? whats wrong with their current clothes? maybe this was the first Final Fantasy that realized over 60 hours normal time, and possibly years of in game time that characters wearing the same clothes throughout must get a little smelly.
Maybe i seem a little hypocritical because a similar thing is used in FFV which was one of my Favorite, but it wasn't a big deal, in this its just so.. flashy.. and the clothes are really quite revealing. Not that that is a problem, but it seems this 20% clothe 80% skin may be a simple marketing ploy to help young spotty teenagers who may or may not be familiar to the series, fap their way through the game regardless of its cast of an annoying Rikku, and completely different Yuna, and a new character Paine who looks to me that she chews more carpet than a faulty vacuum cleaner.

Well i hope you liked my Top 5 Best/Worst FF games! if you did not however, and thought some of my choices were incorrect, then just remember that it was only in my OPINION, and if you still feel strongly against what i have put, then please feel free to make your OWN god damn list.
anyways stick around for more IMHO lists soon!
