Well if your saying FFVII DoC is better than FFVII you clearly are just being unfair to FF for being the most popular.

But in anycase out of the Final Fantasys Ive Played:
I,II,V,VI,VII,VIII,IX,X,X-2 and XII

Id say is out of XII or X-2

FFXII for the Poorly stretched out story,alot of the time your just playing the game and there are no events happening its just travelling through areas which gets very tedious,i stopped playing the game for a few days sometiems even weeks just becuase i didnt want to ,i really wasnt enjoying it.the only times that the game got interesting where moments like the Judge Battles or fighting Dr.Cid but look at what you have to do before fighting DR.Cid climb up a 100 floor anicent building which is horribly boring and can take hours.The other part was the Bahumat that part was fascinating but not worth a horribly long 80 hours for with hardly any build up.

As for the Charcters Apart from Balthier There all boring,being fair Ashe wasnt that bad but i think theres was a better new queen on FFIX.As for Basch he was that typical strong male character which doesnt say much and when he does it monotone so its hardly interesting.Penelo....ive forgotten her role in the game apart from just following Vaan.as for Vaan he was hardly an exciting lead character oh nearly forgot Frann,She has a bit more of an exciting backgrounf becuase she was a hidden race but thats it really.Now onto Balthier,If it wasnt for Balthier i would have never completed the game.His character had a very interesting Background

The Fact the He was a Judge is one thing but being Dr Cids Son IS ANOTHER!,Personnaly to make Basch more intersting i think Basch should have previously been a judge instead.

But also unlike the others He was Funny, he wasnt like a wooden plank and he had a great british accent to top it all off.Balthier is by far the most likable party member of FFXII

As for the gameplay,the battle system was ok but repetitive it was just cast bubble then hastega then attack it till the enemy drops down.there was no need for offenssive magic or techniques.I think thats all i have to say about FFXII

Now onto FFX-2

Well The characters on this game were terrible even all the good cast from FFX are annoying on this game ( - Wakka,Lulu and Khimarhi) Yuna was a strong brave character in FFX,On X-2 They destroyed this character. I Quote

Yuna: Poopie!
Rikku: Yunnie.
Yuna: I was just trying to be like you.

See!,let alone the Dialouge be Childish,it shatters he true strength and pride and confidnece she agained from FFXs adventure and nows shes just weak and dependant.Rikkus even more annoying than she was in FFX and they just slapped the cardboard cut out paine to try make up for no Auron when Paine's not even in the same rank as Auron.

Its a shame i no FFX was a bit of a sad game but to burst of with this sudden contrast just doesnt feel right.pretty much all though the game your doing silly sidequests untill the end.the only thing peoplee who loved FFX want to see is that ending well my advise is avoid this game and just watch it on youtube because guess what there are 4 different endings,what a piss take.

Now moving onto the gameplay,They brought back the level up System which is great i hated the Sphere Grid of FFX,it was just a chore,while on the previous FF its all done automatically.but where this game starts to fall is in battle ratehr than out of.The Dress Sphere system,is disgraceful.Changing Clothes during battle "Yuna: Wait a second Behemoth,i just going to strip and change into a black Mage, you can keep my White Mage underwear.", its rediculousand also a waste of time itf one dress you want is at the other side of the dressphere you have to get changed more than once..It is a truely awful sytem i dont know why they did that.also due to the story You cant cast Summons, which is one of teh coll things about FF, but they just ripped it off the game.though the pace of teh battles are fairly good when your not changing your pissing clothes.

Out of FFXII and FFX-2 I say FFXII is better,it had some good moments and the Judges are pretty cool,while FFX-2 was horrible all the way through.

So i voted For FFX-2

WTF? Two people actually voted VII as worst? The game may not have a very good story or characters but it's fun...

And two more voted for XII? It's lame compared to the other FFs and fails at alot of things, but i still don't think it deserves worst FF...

FFVII is far from the worst.

FFVIII is the worst *brief*

Characters - shit
Backstorys - shit
Battle system - shit
story - shit
Music - good
Replay - none

I was going to vote for VII just to piss Mark off, but not voting for X-2 would be a crime.

I would have to say FFX-2 is only because it didn't meet my expectations following my favorite game of all-time: FFX.

When I heard that FFX was getting a sequel, I was beyond pumped up at the news. I was ready for an in-depth search and adventure trying to find where the true Tidus went, and how to get him back or to figure out why he would never come back. However, this was not too be. Instead, we went searching for Easter Eggs in the same places as before and fought enemies that looked like mini Monster Arena creations...everywhere.

FFX stole my heart; FFX-2 crushed it.

Pfft, half or more of the monsters in X-2 were the same as in X. That makes sense, since it's the same world...but i don't understand why they named everything differently and put monsters in areas they didn't belong. X-2 was what let me know that the Final Fantasy series was going to be raped by Enix.

FFVIII is the worst FF

I've never felt such detachment from the characters, and the battle system was the worst I've ever seen. All games have plot holes and melodrama, but VIII was the most melodramatic game I've ever played, and I don't care what people say about whichever game, VIII had one of the stupidest plot holes in the history of anything.

I'm going to pick off the list. Crystal Chronicles. No story. Repetative battles. Dull gameplay. Dull world. No characterisation. No story!!

Nice music.

I've never heard anything good about X-2 but since I've never played it I can't really vote for it.

VIII gets my vote. The game was incredibly boring and ridiculously easy. And the two lead characters irritated me to no end. Squall was a bitch and Rinoa was an annoying twit who spent half the game captured or incapacitated. If both of them had met a horrible demise at the end of the game I would have labeled VIII the best game ever. Triple Triad was its only saving grace.
