What's the worst Final Fantasy FMV?

"What can I do for you?"
Just the intro to X-2; so fucking chessy. Why is Yuna suddenly believed to be brilliant pop singer and dancer? Introducing Paine, who the fuck are you and why should I care? The quickiest I realised a sequel was going to be shit.

If this movie counts, then this. Its dumb fun, but its definitely dumb.
I cannot believe that people didn't like the intro to FFX-2. It's like a Totally Spies episode. It's a fun espionage type mission that flips your expectations on its head. If anything it's underrated.
I bet a lot of kids and teenage boys thought it was "gay."
I'm sure some still do.
I mean, I'm gay and no longer afraid to show my more feminine qualities, but the song itself is kinda obnoxious lol. I fucking LOVE 1000 Words tho! One of the top FMV's in the series
Yeah, as a teenage boy at the time I wasn't even mad. That shit felt distinct from FFX and the FFs before it, and totally upbeat in a way I appreciated, especially hot off playing though FFX for the first time.

One thing is sure, Kazushige Nojima never writes boring stories...
FFXIII, the invasion of the racetrack. incredibly flashy stuff with absolutely zero story stakes and none of which ends up getting reflected in the gameplay scenario that follows it.
at least it's cool looking I guess but I can't actually tell what's happening in it at all
emblematic of the excesses of a certain aesthetic era of square-enix i guess (it reminds me of how the otherwise genuinely excellent shotgun wedding sequence in FFX starts kinda needlessly with everyone rail-grinding and backflipping down a bunch of wires just because it's Cool).

I think FFX-2's intro is dumb, but I'm sure I know of a dumber one. I just can't think of it off the top of my head.
Anyone who says the FFX-2 intro needs to learn how to have fun.
EDIT: I know it's a bit unfair, but I'm currently playing through FFVII and the CGI looks extremely rough and stilted for a few cutscenes. I also don't like how it inconsistently chooses between the field models for the characters and their more detailed models depending on the cutscene.

I was in middle school when I first played FFX-2. As a boy going through puberty, let me just say seeing these tittilating (pun intended) young women had me thinking of much more inappropriate thoughts than calling it "gay".
Winner. Even at the time, I thought it looked REALLY low-quality compared to what they were doing in other titles.
Time to wash that out with the 3DS version's FMVs...

The added FMVs for the PS1 ports of IV, V, and VI were pretty bad. Especially for V, since they used the bad Amano designs that didn't suit the characters at all (especially Lenna).
I also always kind of need to laugh at that one FF7 FMV of SD field model Cloud jumping onto a moving train. I get why they did it, but it is always funny seeing them go into fancy FMV mode while using that model.

You are correct.
I got the duo of beach Citra and Folka, when I got their Limit I was rewarded with boobs, boobs, and a bit more of boobs.
The story might have been disappointing but man, the battle and job system were perfect.
Btw I agree with the Selfie cutscene that was posted here. That was really bad.
Back on GAF, I thought about changing my avatar to Cloud's face during this scene, but never actually didThey crack me up now.
The two decades of fan-art would have likely happened even without the FMV, but we probably would have been sparred the many defenders pointing at this as "canon chest size".
What? This was and is still amazing. When you get to the top of the crater and the game tells you "shit just got real".
But your probably talking about Tifa's boobs, so yeah, why just make this fmv bad. Lets make everything bad.
Yup, that's the one. Citra's standalone CGI is super gratuitous too.
The amount of T&A they worked into the sprites of some of the woman is depressing too. I enjoy BE for the FF material, but the original stuff is cringy.
It's gotta be something from Dirge of Cerberus, probably that monumentally dumb secret ending with Gackt appearing as Genesis.
While I'm actually pretty intrigued by the idea of a true game sequel to FF VII that positions Genesis as the ultimate villain and have always held out a tiny bit of hope that such would be made someday, the actual teaser FMV was executed terribly. Should've just stuck with Genesis' in-game appearance (and voice!) and not gone with live-action Gackt.

The added CGI cutscenes for the PS1 releases of IV-VI were bad and kinda made me realize that I don't like Amano designs that much. They look super silly in 3D.
Lol @ literal Gackt appearing in DoC though. I don't think I saw that ending before, despite finishing the game. I must have turned it off before staring at "The End" for 45 seconds. Even funnier when you remember that Dirge of Cerberus came out before Crisis Core, so people who saw this would have had no fuckin' idea who he was supposed to be.

One of my favorite openings in the whole series. Just a good fun time lol. WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?!
