Its large cast of characters, maniacal villain Kefka, timeless score, and memorable scenes give it the kind of clout in our industry that those in the film world would reserve for something like Lawrence of Arabia and Citizen Kane (yup, I just went for the obnoxious Citizen Kane comparison). Original release: Apfor the Super Famicomįinal Fantasy VI is one of the most epic stories in gaming history. “Why do you build, knowing destruction is inevitable? Why do you yearn to live, knowing all things must die?” Playing it now: You can download the mobile version of the game for iOS and Android. It’s my favorite progression system in the series. It’s an awesome leveling system, so much so that Square Enix brought it back for the recent Bravely Defaut series.įinal Fantasy V also has memorable characters, like the ridiculous villain Gilgamesh, who would become one of the series’ few reoccurring cast members. But my love for this game really does come down to that fantastic Job system. It becomes important to figure out which classes would work best with each other. Your may change your four characters’ classes between battles, but they also keep some abilities they learned from other Jobs. Remember the Job system that Final Fantasy III introduced? Final Fantasy V makes that sucker sing. Original release: December 6, 1992 for the Super Famicom
“Enough expository banter! Now we fight like men! And ladies! And ladies who dress like men!” Playing it now: Just like Final Fantasy X, a remake of XII is coming out for PlayStation 4 and Vita sometime in 2017. So, if someone were dead, the command to revive them would be placed ahead of the one to attack an enemy.įor some, the gambits are too confusing, but I love how much strategy they provide. You may then order these commands based on importance. You may for example, tell a character to only cast a healing spell if someone were at less than half of their health. You control one character at a time, but you may setup how your teammates would behave with the complex gambit system. You may pause the action and think about your attacks, and you no longer have to worry about random battles. Final Fantasy XII plays more like a Western RPG, like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. For the first time outside of Final Fantasy XI, battles take place in real time. Original release: Mafor the PlayStation 2Įvery Final Fantasy game brings about changes, but Final Fantasy XII felt like an even bigger departure from tradition (outside of the MMOs) than ever.
