The replayability of the Final Fantasy series, particularly from FF4 to FF12, is significantly hindered by various technical issues and gameplay limitations, such as incomplete inventory systems, inaccessible levels, and frequent crashes in FF12. Players report that these problems detract from the overall experience, making it difficult to fully enjoy or revisit the games.
“FF4 and FF11 are playable to about level 2 or 3, but some of the items you collect don't get held in your inventory. Some levels you can't play, and some levels require too many things to complete in the time given. If you don't complete them, you can't get upgrades. Some of the upgrades, even though purchased, don't show up.”
“FF12 is completely unplayable; too many things don't work and the game crashes frequently.”
