That's pretty much my entire problem with the game, I think I did time it out to 28 seconds or something, at least for the PC version - but also include the outro time with is pretty close as well. Let's round this up to 1 minute.

This means every 60 battles is an hour of dead air.

Yaknow, I might call 13 both the worst and ALSO the most underrated if not for my previous reasons.

It certainly has the weakest story, but the battle mechanics are nice... once you unlock them all 4/5th of the way through the game. Has the least memorable music... except for the main battle theme (and I can't even remember any other song in the game except perhaps the title theme or the theme of crystarreum or whatever it's called)

But it's also underrated because the good bits that poke out of the turd are legitimately really good... and it also contains the singular most dramatic moment of all Final Fantasy's, easily in a top 10 of most dramatic moments in any RPG... ....

Again, just ONE dramatic moment... that's it...

Las time I measured it was 22 seconds on my ps3, not as long but still quite a wait.

I have opinions about 8. I think Disc 1 is really good. And the end of Disc 2 is good, and Disc 4 is good.

Everything else is padding.

8's gameplay was the least satisfying of any of the installments for me.

1. You could break the game with Ultima junctioning early in the game.
2. There was no reason to level because of the scaling, thus, not really a reason to engage in combat (which is advertised as being a big part of the game.)
3. When you did fight, you mostly summoned GFs (which took forever to execute) or kept your characters at low health to Limit Break. Rinse and Repeat. Boring.

I liked that, only thing that sucked was I only had one controller so me an my friends took turns with our characters. Back then a GC controller still costed 50 bucks so I couldn't afford a new one.

I loved Crystal Chronicles and wished I could play multiplayer...

Weirdly enough, I like this other Crystal Chronicles game for Wii. I think it was Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King. I think it was a spin-off of a spin-off. And seemed like it would be boring. But was surprisingly fun...

I liked Chronicles except for the gimmick where you have to hold that chalice or whatever for gimmick reasons.

Wasn't the chalice use to not be affected by the poison miasma or something... It's been a long time. I can't remember...

Best: Tactics
Worst: X-2 put me off the fastest of any of the games. I'll admit I never got around to giving it a second shot, so I don't know if I'd still say that.
Underrated: Tactics, most FF games are pretty well liked, and tactics is no exception but it still seems to get dismissed sometimes since its a spin-off.
Overrated: 7.

12 is bad because of how insulting it is. They pretend like you can totally use the menu based combat options if you want... But they went out of their way to make it so annoying and cumbersome that you're essentially forced to use the real time combat. And that means you're forced to let the computer control your party.

I hate games where the computer controls my party and I can't stop it. Its why I don't like 13 or 15. But at least 13 and 15 didn't insult my intelligence by pretending they were something they werent.

Best - FFIV or FFVI, depending on my mood... but more often than not VI.

Worst - VIII or XII, depending on my mood... but almost always VIII. Fuck Squall and every single thing about his shitty game.

Overrated - FFVII, easily. Too many people praise it as the greetest RPG evar because it was the first one they ever played and nostalgia is a hell of a drug. But it's mid-tier FF at best, and not even the best RPG released in the year it came out.

Underrated - I'm tempted to say FFIV, but that's pretty much the Internet hipster game of choice in the franchise, so it's hard to call it underrated. So I might just say FFX-2, since nearly everyone ever totally shits on that game whenever it comes up, and it's not actually a bad game if you can look past the Barbie Dress-Up aspects to the same job sphere mechanics everyone masturbates over in FFV and Tactics.
