Final Fantasy is a staple in JRPGs and video games as a whole. It might have more entries in it than any other series out there and it won\u2019t be slowing down anytime soon<\/a>. On top of that, thanks to its anthology-like nature, if one Final Fantasy game doesn\u2019t click for you, there\u2019s a good chance another one will. As a result, ranking the Final Fantasy series can be highly contentious. Everyone has a lot of love for the first entry they played, and then there are heavy hitters like Final Fantasy X and VII, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n However, the staff here at Game Informer did the seemingly impossible: we ranked all 19 mainline numbered Final Fantasy games, including their direct sequels, from worst to best. As a reminder, this ranking is the sum of collective thoughts of the Game Informer staff and your own personal ranking will almost certainly be different. We\u2019d love to know your ranking, though, so after checking out ours, drop your own in the comments below!<\/p>\n There\u2019s an argument to be made that none of the mainline Final Fantasy games are outright bad. However, in any ranked games list, there has to be a game at the bottom and putting Final Fantasy II here was an easy call. It wasn\u2019t released in the West until years later, and by then, the Final Fantasy franchise had moved on to bigger and better things, which made it hard to return to the series\u2019 first sequel.\u00a0<\/p>\n What\u2019s there isn\u2019t inherently bad, but it\u2019s certainly strange. Unlike Final Fantasy, you aren\u2019t earning overall experience that levels up your character\u2019s stats across the board. Instead, your individual traits like HP, Magic, Stamina, and more, improve based on the actions you actually take in battle. It\u2019s interesting, sure, but it\u2019s more cumbersome and confusing than it is fun. Unfortunately, since combat is core to the game, the leveling system really bogs it down. That its story is unremarkable on top of that makes Final Fantasy II hard to recommend to anyone lacking a passionate interest in the franchise\u2019s history, but the recent Pixel Remaster does make playing through it much easier.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, for all its faults, is special, though perhaps not in the way Square Enix wanted. The only threequel in the series, Lightning Returns is a look at how far Square Enix can stretch the universe of a mainline Final Fantasy. Dropping the party-based combat of the previous entries with a mostly solo Lightning experience, you\u2019re tasked with saving as many people as you can before the world ends. As a result, Lightning Returns is played to the backdrop of a highly divisive mechanic that puts a clock on everything you do.\u00a0<\/p>\n If time runs out, you\u2019re essentially put through New Game Plus, which has you restart the game with all of your current stats. That can be quite annoying, especially if you screw things up in the final hour. Ultimately, though, Lightning Returns fails to make a largely positive impression. It drops some of the highlights of the XIII universe, like XIII-2\u2019s monster collection and crystarium, and adds in mechanics the series didn\u2019t need. Its story is just as nonsensical as its predecessor and Lightning is at her weakest in this entry. It\u2019s hard to recommend Lightning Returns to anybody as a result, save for hardcore fans of the XIII world, but even then, they\u2019re sure to be disappointed by drastic changes to gameplay and mechanics, and a weaker presentation of the series\u2019 main protagonist. | Our Review<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Often mistaken for Final Fantasy VI and forgotten here in the states as a result of it not hitting the U.S. until many years later when it was remade for the Nintendo DS, Final Fantasy III is less a good game worth playing and more a textbook on staples of the Final Fantasy franchise. Its story and world is forgettable, but its combat is completely serviceable. At its worst, it\u2019s the most skip-worthy Final Fantasy game in the franchise. At its best, it\u2019s the game that laid the foundation for systems, mechanics, and more that we\u2019d come to really love in later entries.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Square Enix made a big bet with taking Final Fantasy to the MMO space in 2002, and for early adopters, it mostly paid off. Final Fantasy XI invited fans to explore Vana\u2019diel, a vast world where players could create a unique character, choose from a variety of classes, and group up with friends and others through the power of the internet to take on quests, dungeons, and other dangers of the world together for the first time.\u00a0<\/p>\n In just a few short years, other MMOs like the genre dominating World of Warcraft, and much later, Final Fantasy XIV, would come along with exceptional improvements in approachability and plenty of quality of life changes XI just could never muster in its updates over the years. Those who want to still venture into Vana\u2019diel can, though! XI is still very much active and available 20 years after its initial launch.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Final Fantasy V falls between two beloved Final Fantasy entries \u2013 IV and VI \u2013 that many see as some of the best in the series. Unfortunately, that means Final Fantasy V is often forgotten. It also means it\u2019s closer to the bottom of this list than it is to the top, but don\u2019t count this one out because its job system is one of the franchise\u2019s best. Building off of the more basic version of role swapping first introduced in Final Fantasy III, V\u2019s jobs opens up the game\u2019s RPG systems in ways not previously seen in the series, and we\u2019re not just saying that because of the ridiculous combos you can create with it. The job system\u2019s flexibility really lends itself well to making each party member feel like a character you\u2019ve personally crafted and molded.\u00a0<\/p>\n Beyond the job system, which is easily (and rightfully) the main selling point of Final Fantasy V, this game\u2019s soundtrack rips. Plus, its softer story is refreshing compared to the world-ending calamities often seen in JRPGs and even other Final Fantasy titles. Often forgotten, Final Fantasy V deserves your time at some point in your gaming journey (perhaps via the new Pixel Remaster of it). It won\u2019t blow your socks off like others on this list, but you\u2019ll roll credits satisfied you played through this 1992 classic.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Final Fantasy is not a bad game by any means, but in a series with dozens of entries, it\u2019s also not the best or even one of the better titles in the franchise. However, credit where credit\u2019s due: it began the Final Fantasy franchise, and for that reason, it deserves some love.\u00a0<\/p>\n The story is straightforward yet barebones\u00a0 \u2013 although Team Ninja was somehow able to spin one of the edgiest Final Fantasy games out of it in Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin<\/a> \u2013 and it lacks today\u2019s quality of life features (many of which were added in the pixel remaster, fortunately), but at its core is a foundational combat system that would evolve and inspire Final Fantasy games for decades to come. Hell, in a way, it practically wrote the dictionary for JRPG combat (with some help from Dungeons & Dragons, of course). Today, Final Fantasy might not be the one younger players are pining to replay, but it\u2019s an essential part of video game history and always will be.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Final Fantasy XIII-2 is regarded by some as the solution to XIII\u2019s problems, but of course, that depends on what you view as problems in the original Fabula Nova Crystallis entry. If you wanted more wide-open spaces, improvements to the already-great combat system of XIII, and more information regarding some of XIII\u2019s narratively weaker characters \u2013 like Serah \u2013 then you\u2019re going to really like XIII-2. If you wanted a better story than that of XIII, prepare for disappointment because XIII-2\u2019s plot is nonsensical at best and absolutely bonkers at worst. However, when you get past the change in the pace of exploration and the off-the-wall time travel story, you\u2019re treated to another fun, albeit weaker, entry in the universe of XIII. That there\u2019s a monster hunting side activity to switch things up when you need a break from standard combat and narrative progression makes XIII-2 even more unique.\u00a0<\/p>\n At its core, XIII-2 is a fine game. It\u2019s a lesson in developers perhaps listening a little too much to feedback and criticism, to the point where it can clash with what fans of the first game really liked, but it\u2019s an interesting rare sequel in the Final Fantasy franchise that we\u2019re happy exists. Plus, the music, like that of XIII, still absolutely slaps. | Our Review<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n X-2 may not reach the lofty heights of its phenomenal predecessor, but it\u2019s a solid and somewhat underappreciated gem. Watching Yuna, Rikku, and Paine fight to keep Spira\u2019s factions from dragging the nation into a civil war while also searching for Tidus were compelling hooks that had their share of cool moments. Yes, the dresspheres are thematically silly, but it was a goofy way of presenting a superior version of Final Fantasy X\u2019s already excellent battle system. We\u2019d be remiss not to mention the music, too, as X-2 provided memorable bangers like \u201cReal Emotion\u201d and \u201c1000 Words\u201d. | Our Review (HD Remaster)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n The hype surrounding XV’s release was palpable. Originally titled “Versus XIII,” XV not only built upon the Fabula Nova Crystallis series of games that the XIII Trilogy established, but it also served as the next evolutionary step for Final Fantasy with the implementation of a next-gen open world (not to be confused with XII’s hub-centric open world). Noctis, Prompto, Gladiolus, and Ignis weren’t a particularly riveting bunch, but their road trip through Eos’ verdant landscapes was filled with a plethora of fun interactions, from real-time battles with Astral Summons to cooking over a campfire beneath a sky full of stars.\u00a0<\/p>\n Final Fantasy XV is just shy of top-10 nirvana because of its repetitive action loop, confounding plot (especially during its mid to final hours), and unremarkable side quests. Even so, XV’s frenetic combat system and gorgeous environments would undoubtedly influence future Final Fantasy projects. | Our Review<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Final Fantasy XIII is the black sheep of the franchise in many ways. Fan reception at release wasn\u2019t stellar \u2013 especially compared to the hype around it \u2013 and many disliked its more hallway-like linearity and lack of openness (until much later in the game). However, once you strap in, you\u2019re in for a treat. Featuring a cast of great female leads, some male leads that nicely complement the story of this game\u2019s women, and one of the series\u2019 best combat systems, Final Fantasy XIII deserves more love than it gets. Its combat, which is focused on finding weaknesses to stagger enemies, is fresh, and it\u2019s such a wide swing in the opposite direction of the excellent (but highly divisive) combat of its predecessor that you can\u2019t help but admire it.\u00a0<\/p>\n The story can be pretty nonsensical in an overarching sense, but the individual stories of each character showcase series high depictions of romance, fatherhood, sibling love, and more, all further enhanced by an excellent voice cast. And don\u2019t you worry, we didn\u2019t forget about what is easily the best aspect of Final Fantasy XIII, and that\u2019s the music. Masashi Hamauzu did to Final Fantasy XIII what Phil Collins did to Disney\u2019s Tarzan: created a masterpiece when nobody expected it. From \u201cThe Promise\u201d, which weaves in and out of the story in both explosive and tender ways, to battle themes like \u201cBlinded By Light\u201d, and the all-time bop, \u201cThe Sunleth Waterscape\u201d, Final Fantasy XIII\u2019s score is still one we\u2019re jamming to today. | Our Review<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Final Fantasy XII doesn’t get enough credit. Despite its critical and commercial success, XII often flies under the radar when compared to other Square Enix blockbusters. Nevertheless, it’s a love letter to sweeping epics with ensemble casts, gorgeous metropolises coupled with wartorn setpieces, politics marred by dire conspiracies, and, most importantly, magic. An expansive assortment of bosses \u2013 flaming ponies, tyrannosauruses, and mechanized aircraft to name a few \u2013 and meandering dungeons give XII’s open world an impressive sense of scale and depth.\u00a0<\/p>\n From a gameplay perspective, XII’s gambit system allowed players to customize the behaviors of their party members and added nuance to enemy engagement, non-randomized encounters (adversaries were visible in the overworld) made each explorable location feel alive, and a dynamic camera would go on to inspire the real-time combat in XV and VII Remake. If you haven’t played XII yet, Zodiac Age is the definitive remaster that implements myriad quality of life changes alongside a job-based progression system. | Our Review (The Zodiac Age)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Arguably the most divisive Final Fantasy of the PlayStation era, Final Fantasy VIII is easily the most daring of the three. Following the exploits of mercenary students known as SeeDs from Balamb Garden, angsty teen Squall and his crew find themselves wrapped up in an ancient sorceress’s plot to warp the fabric of time and space. Their journey takes them to the brink of life and death, explores the past through clever flashbacks, and makes players question the reality of the events taking place. Featuring incredible cinematic summons known as Guardian Forces and the entertaining trading card game Triple Triad, Final Fantasy VIII was a spectacle to behold with a vast world to explore and vibrant characters to team up with and grow attached to.<\/p>\n However, VIII\u2019s most controversial component is its junction system, which allows magic spells to be equipped to boost specific character stats. These spells also act like items stored in the inventory, forgoing the use of MP, and have to be \u201cdrawn\u201d from special areas on the map or directly from enemies in battle. That means using a spell junctioned to a character will reduce whichever stat it’s supposed to be boosting. Tying these consumable spells to player power is a risk\/reward system that some either love or hate, and at the end of the day, holds Final Fantasy VIII from joining the upper echelon of the series.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n As a smart blend of classic themes and new-school design, the ninth entry manages to appease two generations of fans while standing on its own merits. We loved exploring Alexandria as Zidane, Garnet, and the crew with the black mage Vivi unexpectedly stealing the show as one of the franchise\u2019s best characters. Combat is arguably the strongest of the PS1 trilogy of games, and the ability system made obtaining and swapping out gear more exciting than ever. IX concludes what many fans consider the golden era of the franchise, and it does so on a high note.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Midgar is back with a new-gen sheen! Remake was one of our favorite games of 2020 and for good reason; Square Enix made smart changes to VII without sacrificing the novelties of the original. Fully-rendered characters and environments, remastered music, VO\/ambiance that gave a voice to the cast and the sprawling cityscape they inhabit \u2013 these are but a few new features that modernized and amplified the magic of VII. Better yet, a real-time combat system brought players closer to the action than ever before and made iconic weapons like the Buster Sword and Tifa’s rock-solid fists feel unique and powerful.\u00a0<\/p>\n Perhaps the most ambitious aspect to Remake is its narrative. Stopping Sephiroth and Shinra remains the primary objective. However, vital changes to the game’s finale and a swath of fleshed-out peripheral characters, as well as new ones, might mean that Remake’s unfinished story will branch off in interesting and unexpected ways. | Our Review<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Final Fantasy X was a revolution in many ways. As the first entry with full voice-acting, it makes the most of it by telling an engrossing and often tear-jerking tale of heroes overcoming ancient destroyers and burdensome cultural traditions while finding love throughout it all. X\u2019s revamped battle system made confrontations faster and more engaging, and the Sphere Grid set an exciting new standard in freeform character progression. Tidus may be a dork, but he\u2019s balanced out by the relationships with his endearing allies like the kind-hearted Yuna and the too-cool-for-school Auron. Decades later, we\u2019re as eager to dodge lightning bolts, climb Mt. Gagazet, and sob uncontrollably at the ending as we were in 2001. | Our Review<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n At a time when RPG stories were threadbare or even nonexistent, Final Fantasy IV set the stage for what would go on to be the bar to beat for the next generation of RPGs. There\u2019s raw emotion in many of the encounters and scenarios that occur in Final Fantasy IV that may seem unbelievably simplistic and cliche today, but were quite moving when games had a lot less to work with in terms of narrative setups and development. Much like the swap to PlayStation\u2019s new hardware helped make Final Fantasy VII a hit, the Super Famicom\/SNES let the series look stunning with a fresh look compared to its NES predecessors. In addition, the active-time-battle system added additional tension to classic turn-based combat.<\/p>\n Characters like Cecil, Kain, Rydia, Golbez, and more would go on to represent character classes and archetypes for ages. Huge fights against challenging elemental bosses were immortalized with Nobuo Uematsu\u2019s \u201cBattle With the Four Fiends\u201d, with an unforgettable journey culminating in an epic endgame moon dungeon. Side content journeys to find hidden summon spells and special gear accentuate a traditional story of good vs. evil. | Our Review (Complete Collection)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Where would Final Fantasy be without its monumental seventh entry? The first game in the series to employ FMV and 3D graphics, VII ushered in a new era for emotional storytelling and immersive world-building. Memorable character designs \u2013 from Sephiroth\u2019s silver hair and impossibly long masamune to Barret\u2019s bulky build and arm cannon \u2013 helped solidify Cloud and co. as the poster children for the entire franchise. Resounding, prevalent themes like political corruption, ecoactivism, mental illness, and survivor\u2019s guilt added narrative texture to VII\u2019s already-impressive dieselpunk, dystopic world. Even Square\u2019s conventional turn-based combat was amplified by cutting-edge art direction and Nobuo Uematsu\u2019s timeless score. Final Fantasy VII is arguably the most influential and lasting installment on the list.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Easily one of the biggest success stories in all of gaming, Final Fantasy XIV transformed from an absolute trainwreck in its first iteration to what is now one of the most popular MMOs and highly regarded installments in the series. Since its 2.0 update, A Realm Reborn, developers at Square Enix\u2019s Business Unit III have lovingly crafted a complex and engaging narrative filled with memorable characters and clever callbacks to almost every entry in the Final Fantasy series.\u00a0<\/p>\n XIV, as it stands today, is a love letter to the franchise that has blazed its own distinct trail and story that stands on its own as one of the series\u2019 best. Sure, its an MMO at heart, but much of it can be played and enjoyed solo. If you have friends to quest with, though, there are hundreds of hours of delight to share. That flexibility has gone a long way to invite more people to play and experience the trials and tribulations of the Warrior of Light and the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, as they strive to unite the nations of Eorzea and the rest of the world. It may be the most daunting modern Final Fantasy to dive into, but it\u2019s undoubtedly the most rewarding and exciting entry in the last two decades. | Our Review<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Final Fantasy VI is not only the best entry in the series, but it remains one of the greatest role-playing games, period. An amazing (and large) cast, a great protagonist in Terra, an even better villain in Kefka, superb music, and a fantastic story boasting several \u201cbest of gaming\u201d moments \u2013 VI has it all. The combat holds up as a pinnacle of old-school turn-based gameplay steeped with customization and depth. In particular, transforming into Espers to wipe out Magitek suits and soldiers is a satisfying power trip. Final Fantasy VI leaves us conflicted because it\u2019s a game we desperately want to see remade with the reverence and care that Final Fantasy VII received. At the same time, we hope Square never touches it as it\u2019s perfect as is.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n19<\/h2>\n
