The 5 Best Final Fantasy games

People love Final Fantasy, and if there’s anything people love more than Final Fanatsy, it’s arguing about Final Fantasy. Who’s the best villain? What’s the best piece of music? And, of course, every discussion about Square’s flagship RPG series devolves into “Which game in the series is the best?” Well, that’s easy. There are five of them, and you can find out which ones they are right now, right here.

Glad to see that Final Fantasy XII gets the recognition it deserves. At the time of it's release everyone said it was too open(cough, ironic, cough, XIII) That it was too much like a mmo or the characters suck. I loved the game and would put it in my top 10 list.

Oh and replace IX with X.

I loved FFXII as well. The more open world the better for me. I am loving how Versus looks. But here's my top 5:

5: FFIX
4: FFVI
3: FFVIII
2: FFVII
1: FFX

I detested XII when it came out. I just felt like the story was so dry (not just because it starts in a desert!), I couldn't get into it. I never got a hang of the combat either. However, now that I'm older (and hopefully wiser), looking at screenshots and videos makes me think I would love it now. Perhaps it's time to revisit it!

Hozi4482d ago (Edited 4482d ago )

You know when I first got FF12 I didn't finish it because I felt the story lacked a good character develpment for Vaan, Freya, Penelo, and Basch.

but now I realize the story is at the heart of Ivalice, it was never so much about these characters, only the fact that they were braave enough to stand up for the rights of the kingdom and this one went back to it's roots and had a crystal so...

What I loved most about it was the Gambit system, and how each character could be any class, and equip any type of weapons.I also loves how open the game world was. 13 should have been open like this imo.

iamtehpwn4482d ago

wow. This is definitely the most different list I've ever seen...especially containing 12 and 5.

bayport4482d ago

No 8 or 10? and 7 is number 5?

Yikes

silkrevolver4482d ago

I feel like it would get better recognition if it had been imported to the west when it originally came out.

Even if the story isn’t quite as good as IV or VI’s, it’s job system is top notch.

Relientk774482d ago

FF VI, VII, VIII, IX, X are my favs. Squaresoft was on a roll there with these titles.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

ravens5218d ago

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5217d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212117d ago (Edited 17d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5217d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5217d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani17d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum18d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman18d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim18d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

I disagree Batman
