Who failed harder? *Possible Spoilers*

[Cereal~Killer]

So, I'm just taking the three games where I think they failed the hardest at achieving what they set out to do. You decide which was the worst:

1. The characters in FFIV trying to protect/defend all the crystals from being stolen and failing to protect even one.

2. The characters from FFVI going through all the trouble they went through in the first half of the game, only to still fail preventing Kefka from getting to the statues and tearing the world apart.

3. The characters from FFVII failing to prevent the summoning of Meteor.
