Having briefly gotten back into Final Fantasy while investigating the modding scene, I was informed that the franchise actually had a mons entry, World of Final Fantasy. That sounded interesting to me, as Final Fantasy has a lot of iconic monster designs that would make for a good mons collector.
It is an offensively dull and soulless game that thoroughly killed any remaining hope I had for this franchise. I trudged through about two-thirds of it before giving up, and honestly I regret not cutting my losses sooner.
