Am I the only one who enjoyed pretty much all the FF games?

No, I mean pretty much all as in the main series. (I like Tactics, but I do not like how your character turns into a crystal when he/she dies.)
In the main series, yes, however Square has developed a habit of whoring out the FF name to sell some of their other mediocre garbage like Crystal Chronicles and FF Legends, and those games I despise.
*edit* I don't count FF11 as part of the "main series" either since it's basically just an Everquest knockoff.
I don't even count those as real FF games, it's just Square whoring out the FF name to sell some of their mediocre titles.Including Final Fantasy Mystic Quest?

2 was awful. 3 being released so late chronologically outside of Japan made it VERY dated and generic. 5 was mediocre and pretty bland. 9 I just didn't like.
Every other Final Fantasy (including 13 and X-2) I would say rank an 8.5 to 10 in my book.
And 8 is HIGHLY underrated.

How is it underrated? It got stellar reviews and sold millions of copies.I've liked every FF game I played.

VIII seemed like an all around improvement for the most part, but VII is the one that's has more popularity; It even has movies. It seems like it's underrated because of that.2 was awful. 3 being released so late chronologically outside of Japan made it VERY dated and generic. 5 was mediocre and pretty bland. 9 I just didn't like.

That's because 7 was the groundbreaking title that featured an unprecedented cinematic presentation and singlehandedly gave the role-playing genre a mainstream audience; for many gamers it was their first rpg. Consequently, people have fonder memories of it.I haven't played any Final Fantasy games aside from;
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy XII
Final Fantasy XIII
But I love those three games, they are three of my favourite games of all time.
Can't really comment on the other FF games....but I'm sure if I had the chance to play them I would definitely enjoy them. As the record goes, I have not played a single Square Enix game I did not enjoy.
I loved 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 , 9 and 12.
10 was awful.

10 wasn't awful, at least for me, but it WAS TOO EASY. As long as you had everyone do at least one thing for each and every battle, then buffing them up through the Sphere Grid wasn't a problem at all.
I have loved every Final Fantasy game I have every played. I even went back and played the nes ones and loved them all. The only FF I have never played was FF11 and thats becouse I never got a chance to play it and FF14 is around the corner. I can actually say the Final Fantasy series is my favorite series of all time.
I guess I'm one of the few who actually likes FF: Mystic Quest. I still pick it up and play it every now and then.
I did not enjoy FF11, X-2, or 12 all that much though.
FF11: I about died of boredom by level 3.
X-2: Meh.
12: Horrible story. Horrible characters (except Balthier and Ashe...those two I didn't mind). It felt like an MMO.
FF12: Revenant Wings still remains one of my favorite FF games though, and, if it's not clear, I HATED 12.
So aside from 11, X-2, and 12, I've enjoyed all the FF games I've played. I have not played any of the Crystal Chronicles games though because of all the bad reviews they get.
I didn't think the game was THAT bad tbh. That had some great ideas in it, I loved the dressphere system; it really makes the game open-ended in how you develop your character's skills.[QUOTE="Phool86"]Even X-2?Bigboi500
I've played pretty much every FF game since I got 1 on my NES years ago. I think the only ones I've missed were the handheld exclusive games and spinoffs. I can say I enjoyed all of them, except X. Of course, some were better than others, but enjoyable none the less.
I loved the gameplay of 12, hated the story and while from what I got, I liked the characters, but was very disappointed with the focus being on the whole overarching storyline rather than interpersonal character development, something that was a hallmark of past Final Fantasy games.I guess I'm one of the few who actually likes FF: Mystic Quest. I still pick it up and play it every now and then.

Sometimes it seems that every Final Fantasy fan hates at least one Final Fantasy game.
I for one hate Final Fantasy IV. It is a terrible game with no redeeming qualities and I am always perplexed and a little scared when people actually believe that it's good, or worse, that it's one of the best games ever.
Also, VI is boring beyond belief, and I, II, III are showing their age in a bad way.
The rest of the series is fine, excluding XI and XIII which I haven't played and won't talk about here.
