![]() This is definitely where the rankings start to get a little tougher, but for as much as I love parts of Final Fantasy 5‘s story, I just couldn’t justify putting it above some of the other entries on this list. Honestly, the only reason it’s not a little higher on this list is that there’s just such a significant gap between the overall quality of the early FF game stories and what came next. Final Fantasy 2įinal Fantasy 2 may be the worst (and weirdest) of the original Final Fantasy games, but it features what has to be considered the absolute best story of the NES/Famicom-era Final Fantasy games.įinal Fantasy 2 abandoned some of the more “traditional” sword and sorcery fantasy tropes that its predecessor relied on and substituted them with a more mature and complicated tale about an evil empire and the rebels trying to topple it. A group of orphans on a quest to save the world is always a good time, but even this game’s remakes have struggled to sufficiently expand its story. Ultimately, though, the deliberate decision to make this game more about its job system and combat mechanics and less about its “epic narrative” means that the story itself is just kind of…there. ![]() Final Fantasy 3įinal Fantasy 3 honestly could have taken the bottom spot on this list, but I have to say that I kind of respect this title’s intentionally minimalist story and slightly more likable cast of characters. The NES/Famicom-era Final Fantasy stories all obviously suffered from the limitations of their time, but the first game feels pretty lackluster compared to what would immediately come next. That said, there’s really not a lot to this one. ![]() It’s hard not to respect a title from this era that features a demonic overlord, betrayal, and even a subplot involving time travel. Final Fantasyįinal Fantasy’s age obviously puts it in a tough position as far as the scope and quality of its story go, but it must be said that this game’s simple narrative is honestly pretty great compared to most of the other console games available at that time. Before we dive into our rankings, though, please note that while we’re only covering the “mainline” Final Fantasy games for this particular list (meaning no sequels, spin-offs, or remakes), I have removed Final Fantasy 11 from the list (it’s an early attempt at a Final Fantasy MMO story that is…odd and kind of hard to fairly rank alongside everything else) and replaced it with Final Fantasy Tactics. Of course, there are just some Final Fantasy stories that are ultimately better than others. The Final Fantasy franchise has grown and changed quite a bit over the years, but no matter what direction the series goes in, it almost always offers a story that is worth the dozens (or, in some cases, hundreds) of hours that these epics typically demand. ![]() The original PSP game had an ornate gold hilt with a brown handle.While there is no single aspect of the Final Fantasy franchise that has made it one of the most beloved and successful series in gaming history, it has to be said that few JRPG franchises can compete with Final Fantasy when it comes to consistently incredible storytelling. He discovered that the Buster Sword design is actually different in the remaster as it has the same look as the classic Buster Sword on the main game. He compared some screenshots from the previous game’s CGI movie to the one revealed on the trailer. One Reddit user found out of the new change from the recent trailer that Square Enix released.
