Worst Final Fantasy in YOUR opinion!

            I understand.. I rather replay FF7 over FF8.

I definitely prefer VII to VIII. I know it gets a lot of flack from people (not entirely undeserved) but I still think it's an excellent game.

Final Fantasy VIII.

FFXIII was close, but it still had SOME redeeming value.

FFXIII at least had a very few interesting story points and a sympathetic character or two. FFVIII, on the other hand, was a boring, meandering slog.

FFXIII had a design that, while cynically manipulative and largely superficial, was at least cohesive. FFVIII was so unintuitive that one of the best strategies is to actually avoid as much gameplay as possible.

I may actually play FFXIII again of my own volition.  I have no interest at all in replaying FFVIII.

That's easily the worst part of the game. Regular battles just seem like a complete waste of time, they're gonna help you, on the contrary. But if you avoid them, you're just... walking, waiting for the next boss. And I'm fine with the Junction system itself, bu the Draw thing is complete bullshit.

Exactly. It's so counter-productive to actually play the game, but if you ignore the gamplay it's just lots of walking around. And because junctioning magic is so much better than using it, I never actually cast it until the literal end of the game. As for drawing, I pretty much just played a couple hours of triple triad to get the junctions I needed and I was set for the whole thing...
