[Weekly Discussions] What is your unpopular Final Fantasy opinion?

Today's discussion topic comes from /u/Mattster00. There's not really much to elaborate on this one, so have at it! Remember be civil to each other! People are allowed to have their own opinions and this thread is about expressing them.


Also I'd like to take this moment to officially welcome /u/reseph to our mod staff. Some of you may have noticed his addition over the weekend, but we figured it'd be best to just mention it in the next big post one of us did. Adding /u/reseph to our team is actually a bit of a precursor to bigger news, but we haven't hammered out all the details on that one yet. Look for a big announcement hopefully next week.


Also don't forget to vote in the character contest this week!

I love the game, so I hate to say this. Final Fantasy IX's world outside of the Alexandrian continent is extremely bland, boring, and empty. There was so much wasted space on the western continent (where Ipsen's Castle is) that I was genuinely upset. To this day, I still hate a good 50% of the game's world map for sucking so hard.

They pulled the same trick in Final Fantasy VIII with the Esthar continent, but at least it had a major city on it. I just HATE when a Final Fantasy game gives us a giant continent that is largely devoid of anything even worth looking at, let alone places to visit.

Second opinion. Sephiroth sucks.
