the Final Fantasy series
ScrambledGregs:
I had a dream last night that I saw a brand new copy of FFX-2 for $5 and had to really think about if it was worth the money. One of my friends back in college had it but I never played it and he never seemed to, either.
JJMitchell:
X-2 might have been an okay RPG but since I was expecting Final Fantasy type play is sucked.
AntiThesis:
I've enjoyed the majority of the FF series.
And if I look at the statistics, I enjoyed more of the old sprite-y games than the newer series.
Even FF8 I'm torn about. I enjoyed quite a bit of the storyline but Squall irritated the all living, all dancing crap out of me.

Okay, here's what I think.
FFI: fun for what it is. Not very complicated, mind you, but I don't dislike it a bit, even if there wasn't that much challenge toward the end of the game.
FFII: I didn't play the original version of this, just the GBA remake. Could have been a lot of fun, but the levelling system was just murder. I swear, I could make this game my full-time job and I still wouldn't have Ultima past lv.9.
FFIII: emulated it. Really fun game, even if some of the classes weren't very useful. It had a ton of content given the limitations of the hardware at the time. This is one of the rare games that I'm glad I emulated, mostly because the final dungeon couldn't be taken in one reasonable sitting.
FFIV: Probably still my favorite, maybe just because I played it first. Not perfect, mind you, but I enjoyed the story and really liked some of the characters. The overall challenge and all the dungeons were great, and it really seemed epic when your party went to the moon for the last time.
FFV: Fair story, neat job system. Somewhat spoiled by the fact that Exdeath was the cheesiest boss of all time. Much like III, probably too many classes that weren't really useful. Still a pretty good game.
FFVI: One of the three or four best games for its system. Really well done in a lot of respects, great story and characters. I particularly liked how the transition between the first and second half of the game was handled. My only gripes were that the second half of the game could have used some more structure, and the fact that everyone could learn every spell eliminated the need for much strategy. Still, these aren't enough to detract from a really strong game.
FFVII: I never really cared for this game, played through it once and never went back. Maybe after Kefka really did tear the world apart, I could never take the threat of Sephiroth seriously. Getting points to use spells really seemed tedious in this game, and the battles just didn't seem epic enough. Cid was about the only character I really cared for, the rest of them didn't really appeal to me. I thought Sephiroth looked like the sissiest broadway-musical pirate of all time, I don't care if I get banned from the intarweb for saying so.
I didn't play through anything more recent; FFVII turned me off enough that I didn't give VIII any real consideration, and by the time IX came out, there were too many other things vying for my time that outweighed serious gaming.

Uh. What? Other than not having an epic FF-style story, the gameplay was very FF. In fact I would say the Job-based system of X-2 was a lot more fun than the Sphere system of X. The characters in X were only customizable if you went to a whole lot of trouble.
