#12. FINAL FANTASY 13
Final Fantasy 13 is a classic case of a game that has a lot of potential and sounds incredible on paper, but just doesn’t manage live up to all that potential. Its setting is rich and beautiful, but is let down by an unnecessarily overwrought story and a very inconsistent cast of characters. It’s got an engaging combat system, perhaps one of the best in the entire series, but a huge, huge chunk of the game is incredibly linear and, as such, quite boring. There’s a lot still to like about Final Fantasy 13, from its beautiful visuals to the excellent soundtrack to the aforementioned combat, but by and large, it stands as one of the weakest mainline Final Fantasy entries.
