Final Fantasy is one of my favorite series, so I had a lot of fun going through its games for another tier list video.
I was able to get my colleague, Jeff Grubb, to join me, even though he’s not as familiar with the franchise (he said something about “dirty weebs” when I asked him why). I, however, am a bit of a Final Fantasy veteran.
[Mike didn’t invite his editor, who writes a column about RPGs, to help him rank Final Fantasys because he “didn’t want my judgments challenged!” — Ed.]
For this list, I’m only counting the numbered Final Fantasy games. So no Final Fantasy Tactics or anything like. I’m also not talking about the direct sequels, so I’m not judging stuff like Final Fantasy X-2, or Final Fantasy VII Remake. We’re just looking at Final Fantasy I through XV.
If you want to make your own Final Fantasy tier list, you can do so here.
