22. Final Fantasy XIV

If there ever was a train-wreck in the Final Fantasy series, it was FFXIV. Released way too early, it was a buggy mess with plenty of technical issues. Created as an MMORPG to succeed FFXI, FFXIV failed massively to deliver. I still remember when this game was first announced at E3 some years ago, everyone was ecstatic to see another new Final Fantasy game, until the word Online came up on the trailer and everyone realised it was going to be an MMORPG. I personally wished that Square Enix used a different moniker/title for the MMO's, something as simple as Final Fantasy Online, and start a new numbered series from there or something. Alas, it is what it is now. It should be noted that since that disastrous start, FFXIV has been undergoing improvements under a new team direction and will be getting a second release as version 2.0 sometime in the future. Whilst it would be unfair to condemn any future version of the game simply because of the initial release, for now, FFXIV deservedly reserves the last spot in this list.
