With all the hype surrounding the release of Final Fantasy VII Remake, younger or new to gaming folk might be a bit lost to the history of the series and we can’t blame them. It’s a complicated history with numerous releases across multiple console generations, but we have a comprehensive list of the best of Final Fantasy for any newcomers keen on giving this legendary series a go.
FINAL FANTASY VI
Considered by many to be the best Final Fantasy game ever made, originally released in North America as Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy VI was the last 16-bit mainline entry. It featured a stellar cast of more than a dozen characters and ushered in the steampunk-style world design that would carry over to the PlayStation games in the late ’90s. Perfectly paced, Final Fantasy VI achieved such high levels of narrative impact because of its setup. The first half introduces the cast, from the compelling starting protagonist, Terra Branford to the rebel treasure hunter Locke Cole, all who want to take down the Empire. But the back half of the game opened things up, allowing you to complete objectives and dungeons in a non-linear order. This level of freedom was astonishing at the time. Everything in Final Fantasy VI, from the story to combat systems to the world made for a nearly flawless Final Fantasy experience. This was Square at their absolute best.
