I can't really judge this as of yet, as I haven't played enough of them. Most seem to think that 13 and 15 are the worst. Haven't played all of 13 yet, only the first few hours years ago at a friends house, when it first released, waiting on the upcoming Gamepass release to play it. As for 15, I found it very disappointing personally. I had major hype for Versus 13 for years, it looked fantastic every time we saw it, especially in the 2011 trailer. Then in 2013 we find out that Square Enix had decided to make it mainline, so I had even more hopes for it. But then around 2014 or 2015, we learned that Square Enix had forced Nomura off the project, with Tabata taking over. We very quickly learned that Tabata had made huge changes, everything from the battle system (which was made much worse), to the story and characters. Stella was replaced with the rather bland and underutilized Luna. The roles of many villain characters like Iedolas and Verstael were dramatically lessened. Ignis was changed from Noctis' Military Strategist into his personal valet. Noctis' chauffeur was changed into a Marshal of the Kingsguard. The list of changes that Tabata made are quite extensive, and most of them bad. Never have I played a game that fell so far short of my expectations (actually, I take that back, RDR2 also fell far short of my expectations for it, after the amazing RDR1).

So for me at least, I suspect that 15 will remain my least favorite FF even after playing 13. I can't see how 13 can be worse for me than 15, because I am going into 13 with muted expectations, whereas I had super high expectations for 15 when I played it. As for some of the others, I know alot of people dislike 8, but I liked what I saw of the 8 characters in Kingdom Hearts, so I am actually looking forward to playing 8 for the first time on Gamepass later this year. Doubt I will ever play anything pre-6 personally, those would just feel too dated for me. 

I have played both...FFXIII is by far the worst. The game felt like it was on rails ( developers admitted that the game was inspired by call of duty), the only saying grace of XIII was its fast paced turn based combat (which was pretty good) and Leona Lewis "My Hands".
