Xen, SystemShock 2 is labeled an RPG by the masses of gamers, but it is in fact a standard FPS with RolePlaying elements much the same way Deus Ex is. If you judge SystemShock 2 by RPG standards then, no, it's not the best, but by FPS game standards it was revolutionary. It continues to surpass the substandard quality of games like Red Faction. While RF's GeoMod engine was intrigueing that was about the only interesting element of the game. I put Deus Ex and SystemShock on nearly equal levels as far as FPS's go.
Now, on to the actual topic. Most unfavorite RPG? While I agree that the FF games can become rather stagnant there are many worse games. Summoner being one of them. Though the FMV at the end of the final credits IS hillarious.(Something only PnP game players would truly appreciate)
