Say something nice about your least favourite FF game

I last posted on the 17th March 2010? Well, it certainly needs updating. Here's my joint two least favourite Final Fantasies:
Final Fantasy II
Final Fantasy XIII
Final Fantasy II
- The PSP remastered port of the game looks very nice. It has moving shadows of clouds drifting across the ground, sharp and detailed sprites, and I love how the bombed towns look after Leviathan has come through.
- Guy can talk to beavers. I don't know why. It's never explained. But he talks to beavers and can understand them.
- At some point, watching your characters hit each other like town drunks at 3am Blackpool just to get stronger and develop their HP (it's one of the ways to do it if you want to do it quickly) goes past annoying, and begins to look hilarious.
- I can at least make my Maria very flexible as a mage and a warrior with swords if I want to. Guy can be a tank, while still decking out destructive Black Magic, while suddenly turning into a healer when need be. Despite all the work and hoops to jump through to do that because the "levelling" system is balls, you can have a very flexible system.
- Opening FMV is still very nice. Very nostalgic and old-fashioned.
- It's strangely more of an "open-world" Final Fantasy than a lot of others. You can genuinely traverse a good portion of the world map early on, even on foot, plus if you've the Gil, Cid's airship taxi system exists.
Final Fantasy XIII
- It looks very pretty, with visually pleasing hallways. Which is more than what I can say for Lightning Returns, but to be fair, no one working on Lightning Returns is polishing rocks in linear hallway tubes. Bodhum looks gorgeous. Nautilus is eye candy. The sight of monsters prowling around Gran Pulse with Cocoon looking silent and enigmatic in the sky is breathtaking.
- It gave us Sazh. A decent character who seems to be the most human out of the whole circus. Sazh is a character I was actually emotionally invested in, even if he was relegated to sidekick character again after Chapter 8. And even some of his awful lines like "all this dampness is damp" I have found endearing.
- FFXIII gave us the Pope as our villain. This Pope dresses up as a schoolgirl at some point in the game, trolls Snow, and during the assault on Eden, he trolls the whole party as crystal rain comes down. If it weren't for this, he'd have simply been a bland old man who was rejected from the Yevon Maesters club with a plan that made in actual fact, very little sense.
- I did like Cid Raines. I mistakenly called him the best Cid at one point during my initial enthusiasm for FFXIII, but I shall correct that right now by saying that I will put Cid Highwind and the maniacal Dr. Cid from FFXII above him. Heck, I'll also put the FFX Cid and the Oglop Cid above him as well. They sadly wasted Raines like everything else, but hey, a decent chap, albeit also bland lacking much of a distinctive personality.
- Thanks to FFXIII, I have never purchased a new game full price ever again! Well, I did buy Xenoblade for £30, but I'm specifically thinking of the current-gen PS360 RRP prices of around £40 or more. The closest I may have got was Sleeping Dogs, but that had a slash sale going on, so it was a £25 that week (I got there just at the end of the week). I think not buying a game full price is great because it means I don't feel as ripped off if I pick up a disappointing game for half that price. The only downside is, if I want to trade it in, they can only offer me a tiny pittance.
- It can't get worse than FFXIII, surely, Okay, yes it can. FFXIII's setting is at least grounded, and its story relatively self-contained despite the deus ex machina ending. FFXIII-2 and Lightning Returns just take the setting and universe, break in into pieces and throws them against the wall, creating a new, incoherent monstrosity. It can get a lot worse than FFXIII, to the extent that at some point, we will look back more fondly on FFXIII and say, "hey, that wasn't so bad after all!"

worsetest: finaru fantaji thirteenaru
it looked nice
it made me want to play some of my slightly more neglected finaru fantajinas
it played an invaluable role in a failed suicide attempt
bestestest: finaru fantaji ninearu
trance was a bit caca
i wanted lani's axe
eidolons were cool but became redundant when you got a bit stronger

Least Favorite ( FF XII )
- The battle with the evil wall was really challenging and exciting, it brought me back to old memories of playing FF IV again.
- Larsa. Just a amazing character and so intelligent and wise for his age.
- Vaan asking Fran's age and everybody else's reaction was pretty fucking hilarious. Fran was pissed. Lols.
Most Favorite ( FF IX )
- The Trance system can be a huge Troll. You want to save it for bosses, but then you bump into a random battle and asjakasjak it's gone.
- I haaaaate the song " Ispen's Castle " oh wow, it's just one of the worst. I usually tune down the sound during that part because of the godawful music.
- Pandemonium/ Bran Bal is just really weird fucking and I feel uncomfortable playing that part when Family are around, so I usually have to wait to late at night to play the end of CD 3.

Least Favorite: Final Fantasy I
+ It was the one that started it all! Without it, we might be without any Final Fantasy!
+ Customizable party in the beginning. Cool concept, especially for that era.
+ Challenging. It is the definition of harcore level grinding RPGs.
Favorite: Final Fantasy IV
- There have been too many ports/remakes/re-releases. If someone hasn't played the game by now, they probably won't.
- Not being able to choose your party (in the original version) is a bummer. I'd trade Edge for Yang any day!
- The graphics show the game's age. Even FFVI still looks good to this day.
