None of the games, in my opinion, are really HORRIBLE games, but in the spectrum of Final Fantasy games, I can easily consider some to be horrible when compared to another. I've played all of them except 3 and 11, I've never beaten 2 or 8 or 12, and my personal favorites in the series were 6 and 9.
I'm sure I can get a lot of people to agree with me that 6 was an awesome game, even with all its glitches (I didn't even notice, I found out about said glitches many years later). It was something about the wide variety of characters and the humor mixed with serious elements, and the steam-punk style Magitek concepts. Plus it had an awesome "bigger boss" theme.
9 I'm sure I'd have a lot less support saying that it's a fun game, but it really is awesome. It returned to a lot of classic FF elements in a 3D field, and I think it was hailed either by the fans or by one of the game's creators as the last game in the series with a classic style (save remakes I guess). Whereas I felt that the cast of 8 had all the emotion of a 40 year old playing with Barbie dolls, 9 had a colorful cast with a wide variety of personalities and emotions... I guess that might be because I like cartoons. xD But it also had awesome action scenes, like the scene where they escape from Black Waltz.
Also, I think I like those two games a lot because I didn't feel utterly confused by what was happening... 7 and 8 had this tendency of making all these plot elements that just puzzle you, but instead of fitting all the pieces together bit by bit, they just drop everything on your lap all at once in some scene.
