The blurb about FFV is excellent

Also my least fave of those is 12.

7 > 5 > 11 > 9 > 6 > 13 > 4 > 10 > 8 > 3 > 1 > 14 > 2 > 12

Not played 15

Why You Think You Hate It: Fans of the game will admit that half of the playable cast falls flat, that the main plot amounts to a lot of nothing, that the lack of an overworld impacts the sense of adventure, and that the Ivalice setting creates a weird precedent for the series. But have you heard about how cool the Gambit System is?

Why You Actually Hate It: It could be Vaan and Penelo. It could be the plot, which starts off as grounded medieval political intrigue and ends with you having to kill a weird clockwork Angel Dictator. It could Square-Enixs continual attempts to make Ivalice happen. But really, it comes down to this: The combat system is celebrated because they essentially invented a way for the game to play itself. The best part of FFXII is that even if you play it you dont have to play it.

What It Says About You: You refuse to get into something unless its been thoroughly vetted by people you trust. Because of this, youre still on the fence about Game of Thrones.

Whats HILARIOUS is that it was right...until it said "lol no THIS is why you hate it" and went another direction

FFXII was a fucking gigantic waste of time with lack luster characters and a nonexistent story in a giant empty MMO world. I "made do" with the combat system. I didn't care for it, I won't defend it, but its not the reason why I hate the game as much as I do.

ALSO FFT is legit one of my favorite games of all time, so the Ivalice cheap shot and thinking I don't care about FF titles because I'm some hipster that won't back a title up unless its "vetted" is completely wrong

They were on the nose until they went all Kotaku and became super wrong super fast

and yes, I'm taking it super serious SHINE. At first I wasn't, but the article legit pissed me off with its 180

Why You Actually Hate It: Because Final Fantasy has never been about lore, and the world of Cocoon cannot support the Extended Universe levels of backstory that has been foisted on a cast of six anime stereotypes. You can name all of the members of Shinras Executive Board in FFVII, but you cant name the central villain in XIII. It is shiny and shrill and pointless, and thats before you even consider the fact that its technically just the first part of a trilogy.
Nonsense, I remember Barthandalus the robopope.

It does bring truth to the fact that 2 and 3 are underrated simply because people played them too late.

3 is the worst by far. I just tried to give it another chance and I dont know whats off about it, but it just feels so.... soulless or something. I even enjoyed the GBA version of 2, but 3 is so mediocre. And 5 is my favorite FF, so its certainly not because I hate job systems or something!

I guess Ive heard that the NES version is better?

The entire purpose of the article is finding reasons to dislike every Final Fantasy, it makes perfect sense to do the same for FFT.

Well if your issue is a lack of soul you might find the NES version to have more personality. But you'd probably have to have an appreciation for 8 Bit RPG gaming in general.

Made it to the FFV part before I stopped because yeah, it's a waste of time. It's not funny or creative or actually insightful in any way.

I thought the article was funny, assuming you simply read it straight through rather than trying to pick out your least favorite game and taking the write-up to heart.

Yeah this.

Its pretty obviously not serious, and is just supposed to be for fun.

What Its About: You personally commit three separate war crimes in the opening hours of Final Fantasy IV, a game that starts as a serious meditation on the cost of war and one mans crusade to improve himself and ends with him fighting the vengeful ghost of a space dictator on the moon.


Never seen the problem with FFIV nailed so succinctly

this article is stupid as hell

like, i don't dislike ff7, but if i did, i'd be pissed that this article doesn't even try to say anything about why

"ff7 is your least favourite ff because its so great and you love it so much that it determined your identity and you love it so much that you know the lyrics to all the songs by heart"

"ff6 is your least favourite ff because it has such deep complex themes and you wish you could name your daughter celes because you love it so much"

well that's the thing, it starts off relatively serious because it does give real reasons why people might dislike 1 to 5, but then you reach 6 and 7 and it just gives up and only lists positives and says the only reason you dislike them is because of how good they are and that you don't actually dislike them and that what it says about you is you actually love them

so it's inconsistent
