Final Fantasy 10 was also the first game in the series to receive a direct sequel in Final Fantasy , which to put it simply, was vastly different in comparison to any other Final Fantasy game before it.
Moving away from the traditionally singleplayer games in the franchise's past, Final Fantasy 11 marked the first game to take on a completely new sub-genre for the series. The game was one of the longest running console MMOs in existence , and was also one of the last holdouts to shut down on the PlayStation 2's online service. As the last Final Fantasy game to be released on the PlayStation 2 in , Final Fantasy 12 was yet another entry in the series that pushed the boundaries of what a Final Fantasy game could be.
Gameplay featured several innovations like the "Gambit" and "License Board" job system, no more random encounter battles, the first singleplayer open-world in the series, and including elements like a bestiary and monster hunting to do out in the world. Final Fantasy 12 made a definitive return to the medieval-inspired adventures of its predecessors, in a story rife with political intrigue and warring empires.
These three games were all part of the Fabula Nova Crystallis collection of Final Fantasy titles, meaning they're all part of the same universe. The thirteenth Final Fantasy game dove headfirst into a fully science-fiction backdrop full of complex and intricate themes of fate and destiny.
Both and Lightning Returns were direct sequels of Final Fantasy 13 , with plenty of time travel shenanigans splitting many of the characters apart between entries. Gameplay shifts greatly between these entries, starting from action-oriented turn-based combat to fast paced combat akin to action games like Devil May Cry.
This collection also marks the first time where the franchise has officially crafted a shared universe between several entries in the series. Square Enix eventually took the game offline, and re-tooled development under completely new management. Released in for PC and PS3, the game's overhaul received great positive acclaim from critics and players, new and returning. Very quickly did Final Fantasy 14 become one of the greatest video game comeback stories of all time. The fifteenth Final Fantasy game is a very different beast in comparison, as it was a game that struggled with a long-running and well-documented identity crisis during development.
After the children discover an ancient magical book, it ends up transporting them to a realm that has a compatible name with their town. In Final Fantasy: Tactics Advance, combat sequences use a turn-based tactical mode where battles take place on a three-dimensional 2D isometric world.
The gameplay is similar to another Square Soft game, Vagrant Story. There are not just battles in Tactics Advance, you can also hunt down tasks, look for a job, and follow the laws. All of these are essential in the game in order to obtain several rewards.
Bear in mind that the game is a spin-off to the franchise. In the game, the player controls a youth named Benjamin in his quest to save the world.
His goal is to reclaim a set of stolen crystals that will restore balance to the world. Similar to previous games in the series, the latter plays through a top-down perspective with players exploring the world and interacting with the environment. Additionally, the game features a unique way of traveling the map unlike games in the series.
Players are able to travel by using certain paths from one icon to another. This should make venturing easy and quick. In addition, the combat system is different. Final Fantasy Mystic Quest removes random encounters. Instead, battles are represented in dungeons style, and it relies on conditional turn-based combat.

Out of game, distributing a plot-appropriate number of blobs on a square so as not to cross an edge gives a very small number of possibilties. In-game there is also no explanation why every culture would privilege the same map center points. So if the worlds are the same, it's a very post-hoc decision. JoeWreschnig The world's aren't the same.
The universe is. As confirmed by writer and producer. I agree though about the map looks similar argument. I'd say most of them are very similar, which is why I chose not to include it in the answer. The royal line also has some continuity, the name Cid shows up many times throughout the series especially in Final Fantasy IX.
Confuzzledmaniac I think Cid is actually the only character to appear in every game. Show 2 more comments. I would only add an exception: Dissidia and Dissidia Duo Decim. Community Bot 1. Kbii Kbii 21 2 2 bronze badges. It's vague but it's the part that has made me like Final Fantasy.

Since each numbered entry in the series brings its own new world and narrative with it, fans of the series have absorbed many tales of ragtag groups of heroes fighting against intimidating villains.
From sci-fi cities to fantasy realms and everything in between, these games run the gamut of imaginative settings and memorable characters to fill them with. These Final Fantasy titles are remembered by fans for these elements, as well as their fulfilling narratives and deeply emotional twists and turns, often culminating in epic boss battles. The game centers on Zack Fair, a soldier who is tasked with finding his missing friend Angeal and another missing soldier named Genesis.
Classic Final Fantasy VII characters like Cloud, Aerith, and Sephiroth are a large part of Zack's journey, but this prequel also carves out plenty of space for developing its own characters. While it isn't better than the original in many fans' eyes, this spinoff's twisty and emotional story is still remembered for standing along with the series' best.
The world of Final Fantasy XIII was one of those Final Fantasy settings that was so ripe for exploration that it received its own sequels and spinoffs. This means that the original game's story of a group of rebels given an unseen task by the godlike machine Anima resonated with many fans. Although the ragtag group of rebels is a common trope of the series, this game's approach to giving them all the same fated task that they must discover for themselves feels unique, bringing the game's complex sci-fi-fantasy world to the forefront.
Fans especially love the game's cast of characters, like protagonist Lightning and the lighthearted Sazh. One of the biggest surprises of the Final Fantasy VII Remake for longtime fans is that the storyline has been changed drastically from the iconic original. Given that the remake is the first chapter in a saga that is to be continued, the game has plenty of space to grow and change, too.
