the worst final fantasy. so much potential squandered, resulting in one of the biggest unfinished games ever made, full of emptiness and blandness. after this, if it hadn't been for final fantasy XIV (and later dragon quest XI), i might've decided square enix were all but dead to me. just a complete bummer of a game. i'm aware that it's been improved from this initial release, and i even picked up the windows edition on sale at some point, but as of yet i just can't bring myself to give this crap a second chance. i just don't think there's anything a more complete version can do to fix the failures of the game's world design. or its combat. or a story which only exists in pieces roughly stitched together. probably the least interesting story told in a final fantasy, at that. it's a failure parallel to the initial release of XIV, if not even worse.
