FFXIV named "worst FF ever" by IGN.

[AdvancedWind]

If we are talking about the entire series, it's a major tie between everything in the VII compilation that's not VII itself or Crisis Core.

Well if i look at the moogle king trailer.. and the cutscenes i would personally say its MUCH better then the other PS3 generation Final Fantasy Games..


Mog King Trailer


it has much more of traditional FF's while Final Fantasy XIII/XIII-2 are playing in scifi... very linear, cutscene after an other...and the battle system sucks also.
i think FF14 has much more potential

Whoever says that this game is better than ANY numbered title (baring X-2) is insane. When this game came out it wasnt even a game. A lot of people didnt like 13 and thats fine but it did everything that a standard modern game should. the combat system worked, there was a story, it was voice acted (although not very well at points) and it had other things besides the main story for you to do.

This game had NONE of those things at release. There was a grand total of about 1 page of actual dialogue, no sidequests, stats meant nothing (and still dont seem to do much), no convenient method of travel after ur anima was gone (which took like 2 days to run out), and the combat system was almost non existent (spam 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1).

So my point is that 13 or 12 or whatever game u wanna compare it to might not have been your favorite, but when it was released it was a complete game unlike this one.

p.s. Launch has lost all meaning now.

tl;dr version : "I don't like the goobbue mount"

No, I did not say that. More or less I feel like the gobbue mount was reduced to a microtransaction - I have no problem with the mount itself.

FFX-2 > FFII

True story.



Also, FFXI at launch (JP pre-zilart) wasn't much better than this one.

I think that FFX-2 was a very awesome game and whoever says i'm wrong is a dirty liar (because- i'm the only one who knows my opinion. you can dislike the game, though, I know most of my friends do).

I mean- The game really, really could have handled the main plot FAR better, they kind of bungled there, but all of the sidequests are pretty nice and oh god the battle system, what I wouldn't give for another game with that system, even if lacked the mahou shoujo transformation sequences. I think X-2's battle system was perfection incarnate there.

I do like how "worst FF ever" keeps shifting around through the generations and platform lol.

"FFII was the worst FF ever -- also the black sheep of the early crysta era games!"

"FF Mystic Quest was the worst FF ever."

"FF Crystal Chronicles was the worst FF ever."

"FFTactics Adavance was the worst FF Tactics ever."

"FFXI was the worst FF ever."

"FFX-2 was the worst FF ever."

"FFXII was the worst FF ever."

"FFXIII was the worst FF ever."

I mean, sooner or later you have to choose 1 lol.

True.

I suppose it comes down to what we consider a real FF game. Do we include any game ever published with the FF name attached?

In that case, FF:MQ wins hands down.

If you are talking the main (numbered) franchise, then FFII is the worst.

True.
If you are talking the main (numbered) franchise, then FFXIV is the worst.

Fixed that for you.
