Which ones have the worst writing?

just the plot, or the actual prose too because in the latter case it almost certainly goes to the original American release of IV/"FFII" for the SNES

1 and 13

13,15

XV has almost no writing. Nothing happens. It has like 4 or 5 supplementary games/movies and they're all in support of a game with no story.

XIII has a problem with the characters being unlikable for a while and the plot takes too long for something interesting to happen.

VIII has the problem of 90% of the cast being comedic relief joke characters.

all of them

>XV
Is just a basic framework that isn't even finished and full of holes.
>XIII
Probably THE most notorious fuck up
>X-2
Fanfiction ruining the original.
>VIII
Falling apart in the second half and shit like "I guess we were all in the same orphanage huh?"

15, how is this even a question

XV. No contest.

Never played I to III but IV had pretty shoddy writing. Lots of "lol I leave now and there's nothing you can do" cutscenes. In all fairness it is a 1991 game after all and video games weren't known for their deep stories during that time. Apprently the 3D remake added a lot of new cutscenes to fix this issue but I don't think I'll ever want to replay that trash game.

Why would they pick an up-close shot of cloud to represent 7?

XIII was just not well-written by any general metric of fictional writing. Definitely heralded the current era of single player Final Fantasy.

Overall, I-III had gumption. IV-VI improved the formula. VII-IX made Final Fantasy big. X and XII were pure decadence that some might find too indulgent and acquired for their tastes. XIII and XV however were just debauched, parodical and aimless.

Name 1 (one) JRPG with good writing.

Dark Souls 2

xv

XV by a country mile when taking the standards of the series/day into account. XIII may have relied on the datalogue to patch things up, but it was IN the game.
XV dumped everything into outside media and chopped out dlc. On top of that, what was in game was also mostly shit. I remember the huge offscreen event explanation at whatever the train station's name was pissing me off.

2 easily
I would add 8 too, but it's my guilty pleasure
I'm aware of how awful the story is, but still enjoy it nevertheless
not to mention it has a ton of scenes that's probably taken from 90's action flicks, how can I hate those

XIV by far.
originally it was a self contained world that was all about the grand companies and primals and the delicate balance of divided world
only to then leave grand companies and delicate balance of the divided world plots forgotten and dangling as they focused primarily on the primals
and once the primal situation was solved they quickly did some time shit for the soul narrative purpose of getting a new situation to deal with to replace the primals.
and as for the world they're constantly homogenizing it so there is less interesting cultures, people, and races so the players won't get triggered over bits of dialogue or events ingame which most players seem fine with as it allows them to play as a thing like a male Viera.

the more expansions it gets the worse the story will become as the players grow more and more hostile to not getting their way which will only help escalate the story to become worse as the writers clearly struggle to invent more and more shit for them in this final fantasy timeline.

XIII's writing is offensively sloppy and stupid.
