An often overrated Final Fantasy title. An impressive game for it’s time, it didn’t age particularly well. It features a nonsensical, disjointed plot full of silly contrivances galore and it doesn’t really take off until about Lake Macalania. After that, it begins to get interesting and intense. It has too many villains, all of which aren’t particularly good and features some pretty horrendous English voice acting and localization that hurt the experience quite a bit. It’s better than 12 and 13 but is a decidedly average, low frills Final Fantasy overall and felt lacking compared to the PS1 games. It had a horrendous gimmicky sequel that undermined the poignant, emotional ending it had.

Something that's built up with huge hype and looks good on the surface, but ends up being mediocre to absolute garbage depending on the person in the end. Based on Final Fantasy XIII, which had huge hype during its trailers and had beautiful presentation, but was met with very mixed reviews from fans.
Person 1: Yo man, did you hear about that new game that's coming out?
Person 2: Yeah dude, but I think's it gonna be another Final Fantasy XIII.
Person 1: Crap.

Aka the worst Final Fantasy game ever made. Featuring a weak, incomprehensible plot, hammy voice acting, cliche anime tropes and repetitive gameplay. Also paved the way for 2 completely worthless sequels of diminishing returns. The games were so terrible, it almost rendered the Final Fantasy series obsolete. Thankfully, 14 and 15 got things back on track although not immediately.

A generally underrated Final Fantasy game that was actually the most enjoyable one since Final Fantasy 9. It’s biggest shortcoming is the way they presented the story but with The Royal Edition it’s a pretty good experience with some pretty good DLC episodes. Definitely a Godsend after the disaster of the Lightning Trilogy.

An often underrated but worthy addition to the Final Fantasy series. It takes a couple play throughs to understand it’s genius.
Final Fantasy 8 is so underrated.
