I've got a horrible confession...

What's the problem with that game? i mean... i never saw it, does it have a bad reputation?

It's generally hailed as the worst Final Fantasy game, simply because you could play it while reading a book, or writing an essay. It's very very linear, and the story is simple. It's a great intro to the series, and helps younger players get the mechanics down before playing a better game.
