FFXIV named "worst FF ever" by IGN.

[Griss]

They were honest in there assessment. Xiv deserved every single lump it got at launch.

Thats about it really. XIVs release state or XIIIs theme. Tough call.

IGN.com have posted an article about the best and worst FF games released.
FFXIV is declared the weakest installment in the series.....oops...

http://games.ign.com/articles/121/1217042p1.html

Thoughts?

The article is so right on everything: FFVI (my personal best! yay!!), FFIV and FFVII are the best!
As for FFXIV, it is the weakest right now. What else can we say? But just like they mentioned it at the bottom of the article, we can only hope for the long term changes starting with 2.0 to bring the game high to live up to what everyone expect.
Seeing from the changes we got last year and the changes we'll get this year, I am not worried FFXIV will rise high and proud in a couple of years.

I definatley don't like how the article says: ".... and one you should probably avoid." That should be taken out, in my opinion. I would personally put FF12 as the worst, because despite how much I tried to like it, I could never bring myself to play it very far.

My best is one a lot of people seem to have issue with, which is FF13. This is the *only* FF game that I was seriously very sad that it ended, and I wanted more. Part of this, is I just loved the characters and the unique battle system. In fact, I'm sure my opinion is going to shift towards 13-2 as my favorite because having played the demo - I can tell they have listened to player feedback. The game also had a very engaging story, and despite the linearity in the beginning... I don't see how anyone could say it was not fun.

Favorite Ones:
-Final Fantasy XIII
-Final Fantasy XI
-Final Fantasy IX
-Dissidia FF (this was super fun)

Worst:
-Final Fantasy XII

Well i personally think FF7 Dirge of Cerberus is the worst? ;X
although its not a real FF..


well and IGN hasnt played FFXIV since when? ;D and i dont care because ign does only care for games which fit the mass-market.
i like FF14 more than FF13 because i totally dislike the linearity, cutscenes over cutscnes... so and now?
its true FFXIV is far away from completion and perfectivity... but no need to flame on a game that is trying to turn around.



seems to me like they dont follow the development of the game, which is kind of unfair.



just my opinion.

hehe if we are counting all FF titles then I would have to say Mystic Quest was the worst.

You liked FFXI, I'd say give FFXII another chance, you might be surprised (sad that they haven't released the intl Zodiac version outside of Japan)

On IGN's comments. FFXIV is an MMO that is being rebuilt, it's not only an unfinished chapter, but it's effectively an unstarted one until 2.0.

It's not even worth judging at this point.

if its released its fair game to be judged

Wow.

MQ is the" Wand of Gamelon" of the FF series.
