Thanks for the video, man! Happy to see X at the top!! My ranking would be: 1. X 2. IX 3. VI 4. VII 5. XVI 6. XII 7. VIII 8. IV 9. V 10. XIII 11. XV 12. I 13. III 14. II Haven't played XIV enough to feel comfortable ranking it, and I haven't touched XI at all.
It's pretty sad that the latest mainline entry is the last in the list. I was actually looking forward to it😔 Nice video tho! Do keep the good work, dropped a like for you~
Amazing video!! Excited to see more content in the future! Here's my ranking of all the FFs I've played from worst to best :) definitely have some different and odd opinions lol hehe F Tier: Final Fantasy IV: Interlude D Tier: Final Fantasy IV: TAY Final Fantasy X-2 C Tier: Final Fantasy XV Comrades A King's Tale: Final Fantasy XV B Tier: Final Fantasy Final Fantasy III Final Fantasy Tactics Final Fantasy V Final Fantasy Final Fantasy Dimensions Final Fantasy Dimensions II A Tier: Final Fantasy VII Final Fantasy IX Final Fantasy Tactics A-2 Final Fantasy II Final Fantasy IV World of Final Fantasy Final Fantasy XI (base game, haven't finished the rest yet 😅) S Tier: Final Fantasy VII Remake Final Fantasy VIII Final Fantasy XV Final Fantasy XIII S Tier: Final Fantasy X Final Fantasy VI Top 5 game of all time: Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age
XV is amazing, and its also a disaster. Its the most ambitious Final Fantasy game, and its got chunks missing and eventually the extra DLC got cancelled.
Solid list. I always enjoy seeing a spicy take or 2. Nothing that would cause the fury that my ranking has caused the die hard community though for my placement of VI. 😂 1. VII 2. IV 3. VIII(first FF bias probably) 4. V 5. IX 6. X 7. III 8. I 9. VI 10. XVI 11. XII 12. II 13. XV 14. XIII
Given the popular theory about people's first and favorite FF entry, I was pleasantly surprised by your #1 pick. If I had to leave out the first one I ever played (6), it would definitely be my #1 as well
The only mainline Final Fantasy games I have not played are XI, XII, XIV, and XVI. I'm probably never going to play the two mmos because well, they are mmos. lol I own XII on the PS4 and will play it at some point. XVI just doesn't look appealing to me, so who knows. Maybe I will play it one day. Totally agree with you about preferring turn based combat. The argument that it is dated just doesn't make any sense because look at all of the other turn based rpgs that are still releasing today. I honestly think Final Fantasy would benefit from going back to that while also adopting more of an anime art style instead of the ultra realistic graphics. It's always nice to see someone speak highly of II, III, V. I consider them to be the forgotten Final Fantasy games because most people have either never played them, dismiss them because they are "old," or in II's case, complain about the combat system. I love them all and consider II to be the best of NES games and V to be the best of the SNES games. Wow, it's very interesting to see XV so high because I know many people aren't very fond of that one. I didn't play it at launch and instead played the Royal Edition with all of the dlc and enjoyed it as well. After recently replaying VI, yup, it really is one of the greatest games ever made. I'm not not the biggest fan of VII. I always thought VIII and IX were better than it and am one of the crazies who likes Remake more (haven't played Rebirth yet). Final Fantasy X is not only my favorite Final Fantasy game, but my favorite game of all time. My top two Final Fantasy games are X and VIII. My third favorite is constantly changing, but I think right now it is V. Great video man!
Nice video! Thank you for not worshipping the FF7 Remake. I played through the whole thing and found it to be a slog and incredibly boring. No interest in playing Rebirth myself (also don’t have a PS5). Here is what my list would be: 1. FF9 2. FF Tactics (not mainline, I know, but SO GOOD!!) 3. FF13 4. FF6 5. FF4 6. FF10 7. FF8 8. FF5 9. FF1 10. FF7 11. FF3 12. FF2 13. FF12 14. FF15
FF2 escaped bottom 3!? That's a 1st 😂 I absolutely hated XV. Worst combat in the series, so many characters that didn't get enough screen time and the worst pacing in series. The party and how they interact with the world was arguably the best. Another issue with 15 tho is the giant & empty world full of gas stations & hunter camps unfortunately with only 2 cities/towns
So, I know this is your opinion, and to each their own, but I can't help but comment anyway. 13. Cliche characters, terrible story, terrible gameplay, hated it. 15. Put a bunch of the story in the website, and the comic, and the anime, and in the logs in the menu... WTF REALLY hard to believe that 13 could actually be worse... but it is. 16. Is this a Final Fantasy game... am I play a darksouls rip-off... oh I am FUCKING HATE IT. 7. Remake is a joke, You put Nomura in charge and he put the whispers in an FF game, you know he uses that plot device in Kingdom hearts right... I WANTED A GODDAMN FINAL FANTASY GAME, not Final Kingdom Hearts... What a joke. 9. Yes, I know every Final Fantasy fan LOVES 9, I hate it. I liked the more grown-up themes in FF7, and FF8, for me 9 was a step backward inn storytelling THAT I ABSOLUTELY HATED. 8. Junctioning was crap, not the idea, just the I have to draw 100, for 6 characters, which takes an hour... THAT IS THE ONLY THING WRONG WITH THE GAME... Fix that and FF8 is a 9/10, great characters, great story, great music, amazing graphics for its time, fix the junctioning and this is a 9/10. 7. The original FF7 was a masterpiece, 9.5/10 6. Again, masterpiece 9.5/10 10. 9.95/10 near perfection, I still play it to this day. awesome characters, awesome graphics, awesome character progression, awesome combat, awesome music and cutscenes, there is almost nothing to complain about here, the closest to perfection that Final Fantasy has come so far. 12. This on was in development hell a long time, despite that it's amazing. Let me explain. VAUN IS NOT THE MAIN CHARACTER, THIS IS NOT HIS STORY. The story of this game is the story of Basch and Ashe, Vahn and Penelo are just insert characters there so you can see these events unfold threw their eyes... If you accept that this game is a 9/10 11 and 14 are MMO's and not mainline games FIGHT ME. 1-5 are NES/SNES and have to be judged on their own sort of scale. TACTICS Final Fantasy Tactics is the best game in the series, 10/10, absolute perfection. Yasumi Matsuno is a fucking genius game designer, even better than Sakaguchi. Final Fantasy tactics is almost as good as Tactics Ogre and Ogre Battle, and those are also 10/10 perfect games. Yasumi Matsuno is probably one of the 10 greatest game designers in all of gaming history and FF TACTICS IS A MAGNUM OPUS. FF started off in the early days and Square created the template for what RPG should be, they set the standards by which all rpg were judged. As things went on, they redefined the formulae by adding in character and story elements that no one had ever really put into a console rpg... The gameplay evolved with the ATB system but it wasn't the draw, you played Final Fantasy to get lost in an Epic Story with unforgettable characters as they traverse a living breathing believable fantasy world and you get swept up in the adventure. There was a time when Final Fantasy was the measuring stick by which all other rpg's were judged. That time is long past and they have become a soulless corporate entity like Ubisoft, but if you were there in the beginning, you remember what they used to be, one of the greatest game studios ever to exist.
I didn't play any of 14's expansions. I only played the ARR content then kinda fell off the game as I said in the video. I did mention that I heard the expansions were very good, but I can't see myself ever getting around to them as MMOs are just not really my kind of thing
Thanks for the video, man! Happy to see X at the top!!

Thank you for watching! I'm always glad to see a fellow FFX enjoyer
7 and X are both in my all time gaming top 5 7 is the one though the characters, music and locations are more memorable.
It's pretty sad that the latest mainline entry is the last in the list. I was actually looking forward to it😔 Nice video tho! Do keep the good work, dropped a like for you~
Thank you so much for the comment and for watching!
Solid top 5 picks, all around!
Thanks man!
Amazing list man!! So glad to see someone agree on 16. As a game it's amazing but as a final fantasy game it's bottom of the pile!

The DLC was probably my favorite part of the game, so that's kinda funny 😂
XV is amazing, and its also a disaster. Its the most ambitious Final Fantasy game, and its got chunks missing and eventually the extra DLC got cancelled.
Ff13 combat system is superb. The second half of the game was a blast. But 1st half was boring as hell.
Solid list. I always enjoy seeing a spicy take or 2. Nothing that would cause the fury that my ranking has caused the die hard community though for my placement of VI. 😂

Bro ranks 16 as the worst.
16 isnt even a Final Fantasy game and barely even an RPG.
So, I know this is your opinion, and to each their own, but I can't help but comment anyway.
13. Cliche characters, terrible story, terrible gameplay, hated it.
15. Put a bunch of the story in the website, and the comic, and the anime, and in the logs in the menu... WTF REALLY hard to believe that 13 could actually be worse... but it is.
16. Is this a Final Fantasy game... am I play a darksouls rip-off... oh I am FUCKING HATE IT.
7. Remake is a joke, You put Nomura in charge and he put the whispers in an FF game, you know he uses that plot device in Kingdom hearts right... I WANTED A GODDAMN FINAL FANTASY GAME, not Final Kingdom Hearts... What a joke.

11 and 14 are MMO's and not mainline games FIGHT ME.
1-5 are NES/SNES and have to be judged on their own sort of scale.
TACTICS Final Fantasy Tactics is the best game in the series, 10/10, absolute perfection. Yasumi Matsuno is a fucking genius game designer, even better than Sakaguchi. Final Fantasy tactics is almost as good as Tactics Ogre and Ogre Battle, and those are also 10/10 perfect games.

16 is garbage. Its not just terrible final fantasy game, its also an awful video game.
FFXIV is the 🐐
tweaking on 16 and 14, ur telling me after shadowbringers u rank it almost dead last.. cmon man
I didn't play any of 14's expansions. I only played the ARR content then kinda fell off the game as I said in the video. I did mention that I heard the expansions were very good, but I can't see myself ever getting around to them as MMOs are just not really my kind of thing
@@crepuscularsky ARR is absolute ass, so is the first expansion tbh... You can't expect someone to play for like 100 hours before a game "gets good"
Final Onewaystreet X is overrated horsedung and not even the shoe of gales like IX, XIV and - yes - XVI.
