No, you're not the only one, but I am a huge FF fan, so I don't sympathize with your feelings. I think RPGs are the best types of games and feel that the Final Fantasy Series has had some of the best games of this type. There are many people that don't like RPGs, so you're definitely not alone.

FF is meaningful to me because i was introduced to the scene at the time of FFII and it was the neweest thing. It was also my first RPG. After that it has always interested me.

You are not alone, I can't stand them. I really tried to like the Final Fantasy series, I tried FF7, FF8, FF10 and FF12. I just couldn't for the life of me figure out what is so great about them.

Weddy, you're funny. Of course you're not alone. There are several things people have in common (even those we think are impossible to comprehend) I for one dont like Mario and I dont hate him. The games are so annoying to me...some of the sports spin-offs I may like, but Mario..no! FF is another one...I like, but not a major fan. If given the choice between a fighter and FF, I'd go with the fighting game, just different tastes.

You're not alone. I don't remember buying or really playing any Final Fantasy games at all. I've only watched that CGI movie though.

I havent been excited about FF since 9, that was the start of the demise of the series. They used to be good rpgs, now they are just interactive movies, which some people love, but not me.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that YES you are the only human being in the entire universe (including the black holes wherein may lie other galaxies) that does not like Final Fantasy. This could be a genetic thing passed down from one generation to the next but lies dormant in certain people. In your case, it's fully awakened. I suggest you see a doctor and if symtoms persist avoid all games for a period of three years - then give it a try. Best of luck to you - sorry 'bout your damn luck.

I was a final fantasy fan used to like the older ones

but know it just see.s like the newer ones are about just making pretty boy characters

or incessant spin offs....sure some people love final fantasy 7 but i didnt and getting a load of spin offs doesnt exactly grab me

specially when square has other franchises which they could work on/bother to release over here.

I'm not a fan of the FF series, so no, you're certainly not alone.

I've tried playing many of them since FF VII, but haven't found one yet that I really like

But honestly, even if you don't like them personally, I think it's clearly obvious why Final Fantasy is so popular and why so many people care about it. Generally it has great game play, music, story-line, and graphics. If you can't find one single thing to appreciate about a FF game, then you're probably far too ignorant for your own good. This question is kind of like asking, is there anyone who doesn't care about Halo? Yes, there is. There are people who are completely not interested in shooters or sci-fi settings, it all depends, but when you truly evaluate how something can appeal to someone (anyone) in whatever situation, it makes sense why games like Final Fantasy and Halo can easily appeal to masses, because they have certain qualities that a lot of people tend to like, one of the reasons why they sell so well. But if you really can't see why someone else would consider something good, then you are a self-centered thinker. I'm not telling you to agree with everyone, but I'm telling you to open your mind and observe the world around you and try to reason with it.

I like the FF series.But After seeing more and more videos on VersusXIII and XIII itself I find my self saying,I really don't care about these two games.Both of them look dull,boring and both of them look like there is some sort of stupid concept behind them.I mean I will try them out when they hit store shelves but I am in no hurry to play them any more.

Well, can you at least see why someone else would like it? I mean when you evaluate the game play and form your opinion on it, how do judge if it's bad or not? Final Fantasy isn't a game franchise with technical issues in its battle system. For what it is, it's designed quite well. It's generally strategic, turn based, and based on a menu system. I just think that because it's well made, it has the potentiality to appeal to someone who is into that type of game play. For example, I'm not really into the whole RTS band wagon. Games like Starcraft, Warcraft, and Age of Empires don't appeal to me, but, I can at least see why they are highly regarded as good games, because they are well-designed, the same reason why so many people care about Final Fantasy games..

I'm 200% on the same page as you. I hate RPGs, never even played 1 minutes of any Final Fantasy game. Don't even know a single character from it I just know the "men" look a lot like women from what I seen.

I also don't like Final Fantasy games because it's turn-based. Hehe. I find turn-based way too boring. You just tell the characters what to do then just watch them perform it. Makes me sleepy.

Nah, you're not. I'm not incredibly interested in this game either, and I've played just about all of these games since the first NES one. But, really, Final Fantasy VII is the only one I've thought was anything special, and that largely has to do with its progressive (for its time) storyline and atypical setting (love the post-apocalyptic setting, especially in an RPG). That game also had thousands of sidequests, and hours upon hours of gameplay, along with the fact that it was the first game whose storyline really drew me in and made me care about characters, etc. I haven't felt this way about a FF game since.

But my gf likes it, which means I'm getting it anyway, so I haven't really given it a lot of thought.... but yeah, I would've been more excited about a new PS3 Dragon Quest game or -- le swoon! -- a new PS3 Dark Cloud game.

I've always loved the FF series but i understand its not for everyone. Probably because I am cheap and RPGs are better value for your dollar. I always thought it was odd that i can pay 60 dollars for a 8 hour game and 60 dollars for a 70 hour game.

I've only just been properly introduced to the RPG genre just recently (we've had chance meetings in the past, but nothing ever came of them) so while I haven't been interested in the past, I'll probably start once FF XIII and Versus XIII hit shelves. I did try my hand with FF X, but it just wasn't to be.
