Final Fantasy is a pretty shit IP in all fairness.

Its like FF burned down the homes and villages of 60% of this site and tattoo'd square enix on all their arms while laughing manically among the flames

Final Fantasy is like a rollercoaster - either the games are spectacularly good or incredibly bad. I like most of the classic ones, but the latest installments leave a lot to be desired.

You got me with IV, VI, VII, VIII
but i fail to see what's amazing about II, III, V
Some of the older games are mediocre at best

Mainly because early Final Fantasy games are just good RPG's for the time. They let you do some of the core elements of a good RPG - they allow you to design a character and they throw you into a world filled with quests and a vague main objective. You're actually role-playing.
Foxi4
In comparison, contemporary Final Fantasy games introduce you to a bunch of whiney assholes whom you wouldn't want to be in your worst nightmares and forces you to experience their boring story by means of walking through an uninspired hallway. You're not role-playing - you're watching a movie with some interactive portions to it.
Foxi4
That's more or less the gist of it and it applies to a great majority of contemporary JRPG's. They focus too much on telling the story of the whiney protagonist instead of, y'know, letting you be the protagonist as an RPG should.

Acknowledging an abnormal hate for a series isnt victim complex
Gahars
Seeing hatred in valid criticism sure is. 
Black-Ice
I never discredited your criticism, but you guys voice it like at least once a day looool

All the big franchises get hate around here. It's a 'thing'. FF isn't special, even in this respect.

I don't think people are hating on Final Fantasy. All I see is people hating on bad Final Fantasy games - the good ones get the well-deserved praise.
Black-Ice
I have never seen "Final Fantasy" and "Good" in the same sentence on gbatemp

The only CoD game I played that I truly enjoyed was Black Ops 1, and only the single player game. I just found the plot pretty interesting. -

I think if I was making a list Modern Warfare 1 would be my second place spot, with stopping a crazed terrorist from starting world war three and all.+1

I really didn't like playing online against other people always felt like I was being matched against children... Sorry it's your 7th birthday but I guess I'm supposed to mow you down anyway...

I have reflexes a cat would be jealous of and a near psychic ability to read people, makes online play feel incredibly unfair. Ironically I have been booted from online servers for being a bot.... Or aim assist lol
