Best...hmm...FF6 has always been a favorite of mine, Disgaea is good (if that counts as a JRPG?), I'm playing through FFX right now (30 hours in) I'm enjoying that one.
But the worst is easily FFXII. When an RPG can't even get me interested enough for me to play 20 hours...it's gotta be pretty bad. It was just one predictable event that I didn't care about after another. And the story was presented in such a boring way...no surprises, no mystery, nothing to make me wonder what's going to happen next. As I am playing through FFX, I am always wondering what's going on. It keeps me hooked, makes me care about the characters, always leaves a few unanswered questions. FFXII... it's basically one quest after another, and if you've ever played more than one other JRPG, nothing in the game surprises you. Vayne is a bad guy...saw it coming from the beginning. Larsa is his brother...he might as well have been wearing a T-shirt declaring it. Basch didn't really kill the king? Who could have guessed? Oh, that's right...anyone. But an evil twin, come on! That's as unimaginative as it gets.
I suppose I don't really have any reason to rant about this game. I'm just used to better from Final Fantasy. At least FFVII, as strange and implausible as it was, was at least interesting. So...FFXII actually makes me angry because it's so bad. I usually don't get upset about games...ever. But FFXII is a very rare exception.
