Most Infuriating FF - Page 2

March 12, 2008, 12:29 AM

I was actually very good at the games in FFX, so I didn't really have a problem with it. The most infuriating game was probably FFX-2, because of how good it could have been even though it was an add-on that probably shouldn't have existed in the first place. At some times I was having so much fun, but at others I was just annoyed and bored. A flawed system, a flawed storyline, and flawed mini-games (especially Blitzball).

Agreed. X-2 was particularly annoying because of the sudoku minigame and how you got so little exp from monsters, even ones that were the same lvl as you or higher.

Also, this thread needs a poll

Most infuriating? Probably FFVII annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd...FFI.

FFVII - Not terrible as such...but the gameplay was boring, and everything was just so depressing.

FFI - I like challenges, but this was ridiculous.

Final Fantasy X for the pure reason that the Sphere Grid was a terrible invention. It should've been optional... Surely you could've chosen a levelling up system instead?

FFI was also irritating... It was boring to be frank, and so hard to get a hang of. Funny how it was the beginning of something so good.

Nope, for some inane reason only mods can edit in polls. Needs to be changed, imo

VII had some infuriating moments to it...the worst being that stupid snowy mountain or w/e it was called. Ugh, hiking around in all different directions in the blizzard trying not to get lost, then scaling up the mountain and always having to stop so you wouldn't freeze. The chocobo races were pretty horrible too.

hah yeah that blizzard was a pain in the butt, the amount of times I got lost

I think FFII is a pain in the arse aswel, I point blank refuse to even play that game anymore and I barely got an hour into it. Stupid skill levelling thing

1. Having to walk EVERYWHERE. Exploration is fine and dandy, but I do not want to spend 50% of my game time walking everywhere. Even with teleport crystals there is still an assload of walking.

2. Time limits on chocobos. Seriously, what idiot came up with that idea?

3. I couldn't play for Archades. They had the right motives and the most interesting characters (like Cid), but noooo, I had to help a stuck-up, ungrateful, spoiled brat get her precious nethicite and help the Occuria stay in control.

4. Summons were complete shit. You couldn't command them and half the time they were too stupid to unleash their strongest attack before they got killed from being bum rushed.

5. At lvl 99, everyone's highest HP was approximately 6000. It was a pain having to either keep the bubble belt on or use the spell constantly and drain MP. Given the massive amounts of damage some hunts and optional bosses could deal out, a break HP limit would have been really nice.

6. That damn bazaar. I'm used to synth shops being expensive, but the bazaar prices were just ridiculous. And to make matters worse, you had to have extremely rare items, some of which were near impossible to get unless you were a high enough lvl to survive the monsters you had to obtain them from (and by then it was likely you didn't even need to bother with stronger weapons).

7. The goddamn chest spawns. This was hands down the most infuriating aspect of the game. Games get you used to the whole "work your ass off, get to a hard area, open the chest and you get a win item." But nope, they had to toss that out in XII and instead go for "work your ass off, get to a hard area, open a chest and now you have a CHANCE to get a win item." Complete and utter bullshit. I don't know how many times I spent running back and forth three screens to get chests to respawn.

I really could keep complaining about this game all night, but I cba to list out everything.

I agree with you 100% and you win at this thread

Why thank yew

Maybe I'll go ahead and continue that list of XII annoyances:

8. The amount of HP bosses and hunts had. Seriously...why? What was the fucking purpose? It just drags out battles and makes them boring. It's always pissed me off how in action games *glares at Onimusha* you figure out a boss pattern in the first minutes and have to keep hacking at it for another 10 minutes because the HP is so high. Well thanks to the brilliant people at SE, we now have that in our FFs. I mean it takes 1 to 2 HOURS to beat Yiazmat. There's no excuse for that.

9. Gambits. I've said it plenty of times before and I'll say it again: games are meant to be actively participated in. When
