Final Fantasy X-2 I didn't like FFX so why would I like X-2? I dunno but I got it anyway even though I knew I wouldn't like it much if at all and in the end the only thing I liked about it was the combat and that erm..I'm not telling what else I liked ;D Drakengard Tried it at a friends before I got it (same with X-2) but I was such a sad Square Enix freak at the time I apparently didn't care and got it despite it being a horrible button basher. I'm glad to be able to say I was only that stupid/weird twice but then again its pretty bad that I even did that one time

Easy wins have never been my style Posts: 728 Group: Admins Member #1 Joined: Jan 10, 2008 Gender Male	Final Fantasy X-2 for me as well, the plot and Y-R-P nonsense was VERY offputting. But I really wanted to see the appearances from everyone in FFX as I enjoyed the original. At least the battle system and dress sphere idea was good enough to make it somewhat worthwhile. Even though I wanted to kill both Rikku & Yuna. >.< It's the only one I can think of though, if I really don't like something I just don't bother finishing it (like FFXII or The Last Remnant).

bite my shiny metal- Posts: 419 Group: Admins Member #5 Joined: Jan 12, 2008 Gender Male	Magna Carta. It didn't exactly win me over from the beginning. I know it's kinda superficial but the opening movie was kinda boring As I played on, I found that the music and the story weren't that great and the characters got zero development. The battle system was alright, but it could get annoying sometimes as it only allows you to do one thing. The other was Final Fantasy XII. I think I've already expressed my absolute boredom with the story. After the long prologue, I knew that I wouldn't like it.

Then I apologize for bringing back those horrible memories, that was just sickening. Now, this might be a shock to some, but I'd -almost- put Grandia II in this category as well, I didn't mind it. But the longer it went the more repetitive and boring it become for me, to the point where I was in a fight thinking...is it finished yet? I liked it to start with, but it seemed to get worse for me the further I got in rather then better. :/

Many internet goers say that Grandia III is even worse then both of the earlier ones. I can't say for sure obviously, but there are signs of some potential in Grandia II, it seems like a series that could have been much better...but failed to do so.

If you ever see a sign on the side of the road reading "Love Shack," DRIVE AWAY!!! :O Posts: 669 Group: Members Member #82 Joined: Jul 7, 2009 Gender Male	To be honest, looking at Final Fantasy XII and all its game mechanics, I was taken aback, and a little worried... I found out quickly this wasn't the best game I'd ever played. Oh, it wasn't that it was a bad game, it was a rather fun and long RPG... just a bad Final Fantasy...

Kyle and Fate > Awesomeness Posts: 715 Group: Moderators Member #81 Joined: Jul 7, 2009 Gender Male	I played Dirge of Cerberus for about an hour, and then I realized how boring a shooting game is. It didn't even feel like I was playing an RPG, and I dislike the use of guns in fantasy games. For a world of swords and sorcery, it sure seems modern, especially the ones that are of FFVII.

I did play all the way through, but I still feel it was a weaker entry in the series.

Sometimes I pick up games that are going cheap that I might not enjoy as much, but if I don't then i'm not too disappointed if I haven't spent much on them.
