I was just so pumped about 13...you know the drive home where you start peeling the plastic at the first red light...holy shite, what a kick in the balls that was...even worse is I beat the game (which BTW that was the easiest FF game by a fricking mile)

Hey, I know that a lot of people were let down by it. I just enjoyed it and didn't perceive it all as inherent negatives, and I know that can be a pretty unpopular pick. Shoot, when I playing it I thought people would like Hope because I thought he handled his mother's death pretty well.

I'm gonna say it, but IX is very overrated on this board, VIII much more so though.
XIII is awful. X is okay, was never anything special to me.
But I know most on this board will blast me for liking XII and VII as much as I do.

IX and VI are over-represented on forums, because they are more beloved by the hardcore fans. VII is the overall favorite, so I don't think anyone would blast you. XII was also very mixed though.

What I love most about the series is how they're able to make a completely different game in the same series and fans have such polarizing views on each one. Hard to find a fanbase that is so split on individual releases in the series.

Not here though

From talking to people outside of internet that are FF fans, it seems to me that your favorite is usually IV, VI, VII or X, depending on when you started playing the games.

IX is a good game, it's just that it doesn't try anything new. People love it because it's a hodgepodge of all the stuff from I-VI that people loved. Even the music. I recently replayed it and it feels like that one song from the title screen is the only original song to the game. There are just variations of it in different dungeons.
