He was brilliant... Perhaps too brilliant...
Spheres: I'm going to combine this with the sphere grid. Basically, the sphere grid is the best level up system I've ever seen in a JRPG. It's perfect, at least in a normal playthrough. I'm not thrilled with the idea of all characters eventually becoming the same, but the idea of guiding you for what the character's powers will be while allowing some freedom, and then opening up completely toward the end, is genius and well-executed. Definitely the best level-up system in Final Fantasy.

This is the way
Final Bosses: This is difficult to rank. Conceptually, final bosses are great, of course. I'd say they're basically a necessary component of video games, or at least RPGs. But let's list out FF's final bosses: Chaos, the Emperor, Cloud of Darkness, Zeromus, ExDeath, Kefka, Sephiroth, Ultimecia, Necron, Jecht, Vayne, and Robopope. Of those, I'd be generous in saying that seven are actually good. So, if we're talking about the final bosses as a whole, I think I've got to put them here. It'd be slightly higher if Kuja was the final boss, though.

Whatever
Summon Monsters: I don't think I can really rank this, it's too broad and vague. If it was a specific summon to analyze between games, sure.

Dilly dally shilly shally
Characters with names three letters or less: Uh, that's Guy, Arc, Cid (FFIV), Cid (FFVII), and Mog? Of those, the Cids are good, Guy is bad, Mog is whatever, and Arc is a complete nothing character. I think his shtick was being the nerdy guy? I'm just gonna come out and say that these characters have nothing meaningful in common, and that this is a waste of a nom.

Hundreds of voices screaming in unison
Lightning Dodging: I still have never gotten above 20~, though it's also true that I didn't try very hard. To me, FFX's celestial weapons are the perfect encapsulation of 'who cares.' One of them is easy to get, I think it's Yuna's, and the others are way too much of a hassle. This one is the worst, though, because at least doing something like winning a race conceptually makes sense as an avenue to obtain a reward.
