Which is the worst Final Fantasy Opening And Starting the game for you?
Like... The first 30 minutes of the game.....

Mine would be Final Fantasy VI.
That Terra, Wedge and Biggs part was so boring. I think the fun of FFVI starts as soon as Locke and her gets out of Narshe. (This is still my fav FF of course...)

I also think that FFX's beginning was long and boring too. It got better when you get Wakka and the whole crew.

I completely agree with you. I almost didn't keep playing I got so bored

Ill say II because, i started playing it, then there was a battle, then they died, then all this other stuff happened like learning the password. It was all confusing, and it took me forever to find scott because of the soldiers in Fynn.

Final Fantasy IV. You have to wait SOOO long for the "story" or whatever it is when you leave Baron with Kain. But when I played on my Emulator I made good use of the speed button.

Kel'Thuzad: She is persistent. Reminds me of you, death knight.

Arthas:Shut up you damned ghost.

-Warcraft III Kel'thuzad comparing Arthas and Sylvanas Windrunner.

8 and 12 both have intros that suffer from being so goddamned long, but at least 12's is watchable. It did, however, almost lead to me shooting the damn game out the window because it took so fraggin' long.

But I voted FFX, because there's no option to select the cheesy, j-pop crap that is the FFX2 intro.

X. It was so.. Boring, IMO.

Yea id have to say x aswell.How boring was the whole blitzball thing and that little kid was so damn annoying.But the worst game start i have ever had is blue dragon.The whole game is horrific.Half an hour watching some little fart shake his fist and say i wont give up over and over.simply put torture

I'd say 12, just couldnt get into the story of that game.

I'd have to say X as well. The whole game continues on the same trend, but the swimming in the river with Wakka was exceptionally terrible - and lasted a steady 30 minutes on its own. I had that clenched gut frustration the entire time: "Go... a bit... faster. Yes Wakka drown him."

Scepticism, that dry rot of the intellect, had not left one entire idea in his mind.

Me on the Starcraft.

Null vote. I love all of the openings, no matter the length or story. Yeah, VI, X, VIII and XII were uselessly long, but they're all interesting, at least.

The opening of a game is the exposition of the plot's exposition. They have to introduce story and characters.



--------------------

I say what I wanna say, I play how I wanna play.

I can't choose 'cuz I haven't seen one FF opening that I really hated. Of the games I've played, I guess the intro that was my least favorite would be from FFVI.

X in lieu of X-2. The opening for X itself wasn't half bad but X-2 was a cheesy embarassment as was that whole game.

Oh my bad.... FFX2 is not apart of this.

None of them are really bad. In fact, for some of the games that's the best part.

I'm gonna say VII because the stupid reactor was quite annoying. The controls are backwards so that screwed me as I first started out, as well as Cloud saying "I don't care" all the time. Cloud is much better later on.

The whole swapped X and O deal annoyed me a good deal too. That and I always got annoyed with Barrets dodgy dialog when explaining how to run.

Oh, but come on... X-2 had great little videos... if you're into watching girls hop around and giggle... I mean seriously, who doesn't like that?

I would have to agree with Del, I am a HUGE fan of X-2, but yes the videos are, at times, very trying.

I voted VI tho, primarily for reasons already stated: slow startup, drop in on the story, etc.

That's the one thing I never really understood: VI did a great job of running plot and plot devices, but the game just starts in the thick of it. It's just like, here's a girl... magic user... BAM! Go Go Go! You're running from someone!

Come to find out, the people you're running from are essentially the "good guys," and yadda yadda, I'm bored just explaining it.

I agree with this only because if you've played the beginning at least 4 times then it does get really old and you get impatient because you just want the story to move on. Otherwise, I think I was just fine with it the first or second time I played through it.

I agree with this aswell. FFVI is my favourite FF game but the beginning gets kind of old after you've completed the game about 4 times. But its no way near the worst opening in an FF game.

the voices talk to me... and i listen WELL...hehehe...

For the record, i will agree that FFXII's opening was too long and the story was too weak. I also agree that FFX-2's opening was the greatest insult that the entire series has ever had to endure. But, I thought that FFX's opening scene and what immediately followed was sweet. though it was quite hard to navigate through those big crowds... glad they're all dead...

but anyway, by far the worst opening of any FF game (as well as the worst plot/lack there of) was FFV. its so painfully cliche/boring, i couldn't even finish it. and the opening-- with that giagantic asteroid falling from the sky and all (potato? did anyone else think it look much more like a potato?) was far from interesting.

Actually, I didn't like Kingdom Hearts 2's opening. Seemed like it took forever.

Final Fantasy X is by far the slowest starting game, with the 1st hour boring me to tears, but Wakka made it all better

IN FINAL FANTASY I TRUST

What FF Character are you??

I Am Cloud

Ambitious and Tough

X-2 by far, I thought It was so horrible.

If we're going solely by the games listed on the poll, FF VIII wins my vote. The game takes a good amount of time to start up, and all the tutorials are mandatory! To make things worse, the aforementioned tutorials move by soooo slowly and there are about 163491364013 of them . And they even time you on the Fire Cavern! What the heck? For being so freakin' long and devoid of any stimulating gameplay, definitely VIII.

But if we're including all FF games, definitely X-2. The designers must have had Charlie's Angels on the brain...

Music is a mysterious thing... Sometimes, it makes people remember things that they do not expect. Many thoughts, feelings, memories... things almost forgotten... Regardless of whether the listener desires to remember them or not...

- Shitan, Xenogears

FFX definitely took a whole 8 min. out of my life. Who knows what I could've done in that time? It was too long.

--------------------

Hadoken!

FFVIII had the worst intro EVER.. It showed some spoilers from the game's later videos... Thanks alot for being so oh-creative, Squaresoft! Such a terrible game that deserves to be burned along with X-2..

now thats a little cruel. i really like the openings that give a little hint at things to come: especially when they make you speculate on what is actually going to happen.

and why does everyone hate FFX's opening? the blitzball scene where sin attacks, with auron standing there looking kickass? i think thats an awesome scene! i just feel sorry for FFX cause it has FFX-2 added on to it...

tidus' voice made me cringe so much, i tried to block it out. the part where hes hanging on and being sucked into sin and is screaming made me turn off the ps 2 and not play that game again until the next day, the voice acting is that bad. also, the expressions are terrible in the scene, look at tidus's face and tell me his expression is good.
