Best and worst things in a FF game?

[Shaissa]

So basically this is a thread about your favorite and worst things in a FF game...

Some of your favorite things about a FF game
Some of your worst things about a FF game?


For me..

Best things
Story
Characters
battle system (up to XIII

Worst things
Action Turn Base (XIII)
Love triangles...over played too much IMO
FFVII sequels... all of them didn't add anything to the story or else added too much to the story and am still confused about the whole game.

Best things:

The storylines
Turn based systems....I just love them. I love the old school style ATB and Turn based systems.
The graphics
The music
Chocobos
The characters

The bad:
The characters (lol. Some are good. Some....not so much)
FFXII
Moombas (not a fan of them)
Unnecessary sequels.
6 years and still no Versus XIII

Best things:
- Fantastic stories.
- On the whole, there are some excellent characters.
- The turn-based battle systems. I used to hate them, but now I enjoy each of them; except, perhaps, for the system in IX, which is slow.
- Amano's designs. Amano's work is absolutely incredible in and of itself - gritty, inspiring and poignant.
- The final designs. The characters and worlds are superb.
- The music. Nobuo Uematsu's music is still the best (the OSTs for games VII, VIII and X are incredible), but even the music for more recent FFs is beautiful. The composers are all incredibly talented.


Worst things:
- The monsters... Apart from the chocobo, the moogle and a few enemies, the majority of the monsters in FF games are a bit on the ridiculous side.
- FFIX's battle system.
- A number of the spin-off titles.
- The MMORPGs. In my mind, X-2 is FFXI and XIII-2 is FFXIV. I'm sure the MMORPG Final Fantasy games have their strengths, and the worlds are no doubt very well designed, but I don't want to pay a monthly fee on top of the original retail price of a game in order to play it. :/ I feel I'm missing out a little. So I shall deny they even exist.

- FFIX's battle system.

whut ?

Worst Things
- Final Fantasy XIII-2 mess
- 6 years and still no Versus
- FFVII spin offs that are really poor to just average
- The FF VII LTD which causes nothing but fights and drama
- Bad English VA expect with FF XII.
- SquareEnix
- Too many spin offs like Four Warriors of Light. A bit uneeded.
- FFXII and FFXIV. They shouldn't be main titles- instead FF Online 1 & 2


Best things
- The VA's in FF XII. It was done wonderfully compared to FFX and FF XII
- The storylines and music
- The non- FFXII and FFXII battle systems
- Vivi
- Vocal themes like Eyes on Me and Melodies of Life
- The graphics
- The battle classes in FF3, FF5, FF10-2 and spin-offs
- SquareSoft
- Moogles !
- Malboros. Mostly the ones in FFVIII that are near Esthar. Sleep, Bersek, poison, blind and confuse. so evil and annoying,

Things I don't mind

- Celebs doing the Vocal songs like Leona Lewis for FFXIII. Everybody raged upon it but it felt refreshing and My Hands is a good song.
-Chocobos. They're okay and it would be sad to have a FF title without one... expect FF1 because they weren't created yet...
- The Monster collecting in XIII-2 I actually felt that it was a high point about the game and was rather addictive. However the rest blows.
