Say something nice about your least liked Final Fantasy entry so far
- Thread starter DrHercouet
- Start date
At least it has a very good OST.
(this is valid for all the three entries I disliked... X, XIII and Type 0)

Final Fantasy III gave the series some of it's most iconic staples, such as summons and had great music
I have played: IV, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XII, FFT
My least favourite is FFVIII, but it has really good visuals for a PS1 game.

Balthier and Fran, at least, are really cool. (FF XII)
The enormously innovative job system really hit its stride here and would impact other games in the series, and JRPGs in general, in tremendously positive ways. (FF V)
It looks great, and it has Lightning in a starring role again. (LR: FF XIII)

I like the thread idea. Instead I will say something good about each game as to hide which one I least like. XD
FFI - Has a great world and an interesting story twist.
FFII - Introduces many classic FF staples like chocobos!
FFIII - A great introduction to the job system
FFIV - Kain Highwind
FFV - The perfected Job System
FFVI - A compelling idea of a story
FFVII - Zack's story is very emotional
FFVIII - The character development is quite great
FFIX - Vivi 'nuff said
FFX - One of the best turn based battle systems
FFXI - Brought the FF franchise to MMO's better than I thought possible, incredible music
FFXII - Balthier is a baller and the opening is interesting
FFXIII - Has great art direction
FFXIV - Has some really banging tracks by Uematsu
FFXV - An incredibly likable cast of characters with good motivation and one of the best main villains
Oh and they all have amazing soundtracks and are all incredibly beautiful games!
Highly recommend each one and encourage anyone to check out any of the mainline ones that tickle their fancy.

Mainline:
FF9 has a beautiful art style and I thought the setting was fantastic. I also thought the town design was probably the best out of 7-8-9 (although 8 is my favorite of those 3 games) as the cities are charming, beautiful, sprawling and memorable. Good use of end-of-life PS1 tech! It also has some of the better summon designs, and Atomos, Odin, Bahamut and Alexander in cutscenes are all really memorable.
Spinoff:
I thought Type-O's initial premise of a wartorn region was cool and had a lot of potential.

Graphics and music were nice, and I appreciated having one of the few final fantasy games with a black main character, who in fact was the most likable and relatable character.
Their goal of splitting the game into a trilogy could have been really neat because you could really explore this world with these characters.
Edit: oh yeah 2 exists. Man the saga series kind of came from that sorta so ultimately it's worth it

Mainline: FF15 has great music and conceptually one of the best endings in gaming.
Spinoff: Type 0... had a potentially interesting premise.

Gonna say Type 0 because it gave me a migraine with the motion blur.
Great art and characters design at least from what I was able to play of it.

Never finished the original II but I'm going with one that I actually finished (and like) but still, is my least liked.
Tetra Master is cool (a little worse than Triple Triad), some fantastic songs and beautiful pre-rendered backgrounds

FFII's Main Theme is among the great ones in series. Incredibly haunting, depressing, yet strangely hypnotic. No matter which version of the game you play, it's a good listen. A personal favorite of mine.
He did some good stuff in the original iteration of FFXIV but most of the good stuff coming out of FFXIV now are Soken. I'm sad that not enough people get to hear FFXIV's excellent soundtrack
Lightning's model is well-made and Final Fantasy XIII has good graphics.
And that's it. Everything else is a trainwreck.

I really wish more had all the characters on screen at once when out in the field.
Not really the thread to bring it up, but it's really irritating having Hamauzu credited for the FFX soundtrack like this (and lots of people do it). There's 51 tracks from Uematsu, 20 from Hamauzu and 18 from Junya Nakano. Just about any track anyone brings up is from Uematsu >.>
It's the first mainline game where he wasn't the sole composer, but he still did the majority of it.
FFXIII has good graphics and great looking menus.
I barely remember the music. Didn't think there were any standouts.

FFVIII had a really good aesthetic design. Gunblades are still pretty cool, if stupid. I also enjoyed the SeeD stuff, just a cool bit of world building, even if nonsensical.
The Man With the Machine Gun is also one of my favorite pieces of music not only from Final Fantasy, but video games as a whole.

It definitely doesnt run at 60fps.
ff15 banter between the bros was great and kept me exploring when I probably would have quit.
