[@rogerstephenroth8073]

This is a series of games which I would love to play all the previous games. They need to come out with a super collection like they did with the TMNT games and Castlevania games. I know I will want to play Final Fantasy 15 and look over the remake of Final Fantasy 7 as well which looks awesome.

[@mrjotz]

I've been working my way through the mainline games. So far, as an adult, I've played and beaten: * FF I & II (GBA) * FF III (PSP) * FF IV & V (PS1) * FF IV: The After Years (Wii) * FF VI (SNES Classic) * FF VII (PS1 version, alternating between PS3 and PSP) * Crisis Core: FF VII (PSP) Currently Playing * Dirge of Cerberus: FF VII (PS2) And, I own FF VIII-XIII. I'm excited to get to them!

[@rogerstephenroth8073]

@@mrjotz If I had the chance I would play and love to beat and conquer all 15 Final fantasy games. There is a lot of great games I played which were really hard in the past or never finished. As a personal goal of skill as a gamer I make note of all the games I beat and conquered. The unfinished incomplete list games are games I leave as challenges. It is also fun to see how skilled you are in all genres. It also makes you more super competitive and teaches you what skills to perfect in every type of scenario and different games. It is just something I do because it motivates and challenges me like anything in life. While just for fun, it also tests your skills in life.

[@justafic5287]

Your wishes have been granted

[@BiblicallyAccurateToaster]

It's worth it. I was lucky to have been a kid when the 1st Final Fantasy came out & had a neighbor friend with an NES & later an SNES who was obsessed with the series.

there is now final fantasy pixel remaster collection from i through vi. i guess they heard your wish?

[@Miltiades178]

Basically ff7 has all the clout

[@2twoThree556]

But FFX was the best one

[@rabbidlobo]

FF7 is so loved for the same reasons people love Mario 64, DK 64, Zelda OoT, Goldeneye etc. It's bc they were the first true steps into the third dimension, and were very innovative. You had to experience it first hand when they came out to understand the importance of those titles and what they did for gaming as a whole.

[@crater4513]

Basically ff7 had all the cloud

You guys might love ff7 most but believe me ff4 is the best.

@@shivamchouhan5077 no but I respect your opinion

[@mind-of-neo]

I've only recently gotten into this series, but i think ive fallen in love with it already. And i finally understand the "final fantasy" title. It's really meant to be the ultimate, all-encompassing fantasy franchise, the final fantasy.

[@joaolima9622]

The title actually originates from how the director was feeling at the time. It was his last chance at Square Enix to produce a successful game or he would quit making games altogether, hence why it was his "Final Fantasy".

[@markybarky9506]

@@joaolima9622 sorry to ruin it for you but story sadly isn't true. The director originally wanted to call it fighting fantasy but that was already taken so he went with final fantasy. That's just been sadly false story spread for many years

[@rogerstephenroth8073]

Along with the Legend of Zelda, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, Final Fantasy rank among the best role playing game franchises I ever played. There is other great RPGS, but this ranks among the top RPG franchises.

[@ericthedumbmet4699]

zelda isn't a rpg

[@rogerstephenroth8073]

@@ericthedumbmet4699 It is always been a RPG or adventure game. Some consider some RPGS to be JRPG's which are Japanese RPG's but really since all these games are made in Japan it is really the same thing honestly.

[@franklayton2243]

Final Fantasy 8 will always be my favorite. After playing it, some of the other games of the franchise feel shallow, they are good games but they don't make me feel the same emotions as the 8 did

​@@PACMAN2182I'm currently playing Final fantasy IX (playing the series in order of release) and Final Fantasy VI is my favorite. So your comment holds no weight.

[@ROMERO2280]

For those who didn't know, the sprite characters design was inspiration for creating characters for Terraria. SNES version of the character sprites with an expanded palette are very similar.

[@kayserivt]

I like how some games (especially the early 3D games) are very dark and edgy, while the colored 2D games are so cute

[@k.r.99]

The first games looked and sounded like Pokemon games. Nostalgia kicks in 😭 (I know that the similiarity is due to the limited hardware)
