    This isn't really any surprise, the launch of this game was terrible and, while things are miles better than they were back then, they're still not up to standards yet. I doubt IGN hopped on anytime recently to see if the game was suddenly awesome anyway.

    As far as my personal opinions, it's hard for me to say. I love FFVII, VIII, X and XII especially, but FFIV-VI also hold a big place in my heart. If i had to pick a "worst EVAR", it'd probably be FFI-II, just because I was only like 5 when FFI came out and didn't have a chance to appreciate it in context, since I played it like 15 years later. Especially in the medium of games, it's hard to like an older title when your first time playing it is in modern times, since game mechanics have come such a long way.

    I'd like to make a special mention about FFXIII. It had issues, to be sure, but I personally really liked the combat system for remaining fast paced and exciting no matter how many fights I went through with it. By the latter parts of some of the older FFs, especially the pre-PSX ones, I was bored to tears doing the grind or most fights except boss battles. I think FFXIII gets a lot more hate than it deserves, especially since I could clearly see that they were trying to keep the game fresh and relevant in a market that is quickly leaving old school JRPGs behind.
