Description

Final Fantasy is an overrated RPG series made by Square. By far, the most popular entries in the series are VI, X, IX, and especially Final Fantasy VII. It has had a somewhat confusing release history in North America (Final Fantasy VI was branded in North America as Final Fantasy III initially, and Final Fantasy IV was given the moniker Final Fantasy II, only to then jump to Final Fantasy VII), but Square is attempting to patch this up via remakes, ports, etc. Every single title in the main series is now playable on at least two systems. Having sold over 100 million units, it's one of the most popular RPG series worldwide, although Dragon Quest is probably more popular in Japan. Probably.

Characters from the series have appeared in the crossover series Kingdom Hearts and in the fighting games Dissidia Final Fantasy and Ehrgeiz: God Bless the Ring.

Despite the name, it shows no sign of ending.

Games In The series

In addition to the XIV 14 numbered installments, there are also a lot of spinoffs.

• Final Fantasy I - The one that started it all.
• Final Fantasy II - The worst FF game ever. Be thankful it didn't initially leave Japan.
• Final Fantasy III - Took over 16 years to leave Japan. Better than II, but it hasn't aged too well.
• Final Fantasy IV - First one for SNES, and when the series started getting good.
• Final Fantasy V - A goofy game about an evil tree. Originally skipped in North America. Also the first appearance of GILGAMESH.
• Final Fantasy VI - When the series started to get REALLY GOOD.
• Final Fantasy VII - Does this need an explanation?
• Final Fantasy VIII - You either love it or you hate it.
• Final Fantasy IX - The game that pushed the PS1 to the limit.
• Final Fantasy X - The first for PS2. According to TRUE FANS, it was the LAST GOOD FINAL FANTASY EVER.
• Final Fantasy XI - An MMORPG. Also the last game made before the Square/Enix merger.
• Final Fantasy XII - You either love it or you hate it.
• Final Fantasy XIII - Mention this game anywhere on the Internet, and I guarantee that there WILL be a flamewar.
• Final Fantasy XIV - Another MMO that was originally the equivalent of Sonic '06. However, Squeenix is currently revamping it. The new 2.0 version looks actually good.

And for the spinoffs...

• Final Fantasy Mystic Quest - A "beginner's RPG". Not particularly well-remembered.
• Final Fantasy IV: The After Years - Self-explanatory.
• Final Fantasy IV Interlude - Transition between IV and the After Years.
• The Compilation of Final Fantasy VII - Because one wasn't enough.
  • Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII - A shooter game starring Vincent. You either love or hate it.
  • Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII - An action RPG starring Zack. Actually pretty well-liked.
  • Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII - A mobile phone game exclusive to Japan.
• Final Fantasy X-2 - The girliest FF game ever made.
• Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings -
• Final Fantasy XIII-2 - The sequel to XIII. Probably even more controversial than the first.
• Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII - Another sequel. Lightning returns in this one!!
• Final Fantasy Versus XIII - The new Duke Nukem Forever.
• Final Fantasy Type-0 - A really late PSP game that may or may not come to NA and Europe.
• Final Fantasy Tactics - Strategy RPG released during the PS1 days. Probably the most beloved spinoff.
  • Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - Sequel to Final Fantasy Tactics... ON GAMEBOY ADVANCE. SHOCKER.
  • Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift - Sequel to Final Fantasy Tactics Advance... ON DS.
• Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
  • Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates
  • Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time
  • Final Fantasy Cystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers
• Dissidia Final Fantasy - A crossover fighting game featuring one hero and one villain from the first ten games.
  • Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy - The prequel to Dissidia with even more characters and even more fanservice.
• Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light - An homage to the early days of the series, and RPGs in general.
  • Bravely Default: Flying Fairy - The sequel, released on 3DS. Its title is ridiculous even by SE standards.
• Theatrhythm Final Fantasy - It's basically Elite Beat Agents with FF music. Probably one of the most winning combinations imaginable.
• Vagrant Story - Not truly an FF game, but it's set in the same world as Tactics and FFXII.

I need a drink.

Usage

Criticism

Final Fantasy has attracted a lot of criticism, mostly for its cast full of feminine men, emotional plotlines, and sometimes confusing gameplay systems. While Final Fantasy VII has been praised as one of the greatest video games of all time, it has similarly been criticized by saying that although it is a good game, it isn't the best. This has ranged from slight disappointment to outright hate. Worth noting is that every single game in the series, starting with VIII, is hated immensely at launch, sell millions of copies anyway, and then attracts a much greater reputation later in life (similar to the Zelda cycle).

At the very least, we must give VII credit for bringing us such classic lines as: "Will you stop acting like a retard and climb?", "This guy are sick.", and "Sit your ass down in the chair and DRINK YOUR GODDAMN TEA!!!!!!!"

Further Information

• Actually, the original NES game was created by a bankrupt Squaresoft (now called Square Enix), who intended for the game to be its "final fantasy". It became a success and so far has had about 13 sequels. Wow.
• Squaresoft also made Super Mario RPG, a somewhat similar game featuring Mario characters.
• Sometimes, some of the Final Fantasy characters go to the Super Mario universe...just to play basketball (and some other sports). Who says that Final Fantasy characters were serious all the time?
• Also, the Europeans had it much worse than the Americans because at least they got three games. Final Fantasy didn't happen in Europe until Final Fantasy VII, so yeah.
