Crystal epics and cult battle systems: from Final Fantasy VI to VII and X, the saga grew the JRPG entry after entry. RomWize re-ranks the best instalments by its re-evaluated scores, each with its current score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.
"Final Fantasy IX is a melancholic and beautiful tribute to the series' roots. A return to basics with medieval fantasy style, deep characters including Zidane and Vivi, and one of Nobuo Uematsu's finest soundtracks. An emotional end-of-cycle PS1 masterpiece."
"Final Fantasy VI Advance on GBA, one of the best RPGs ever made in portable form. Unforgettable characters, epic story, legendary music. No reason not to play it."
"Twilight masterpiece of the PS2 signed by Yasumi Matsuno. The Gambit system and real-time combat revolutionise the FF formula. Ivalice is a political and fascinating world. Graphically remarkable, narratively ambitious. One of the most accomplished RPGs ever created."
"Final Fantasy VII is one of the most important video games ever created. Revolutionary 3D transition, epic scenario with Cloud and Sephiroth, legendary Nobuo Uematsu soundtrack and stunning FMV sequences. An absolute masterpiece that defined an entire generation and remains unsurpassed."
"Enriched version of FFXII adding the early FF Job system, entirely reconfiguring character progression. The Zodiac Jobs offer unmatched strategic customisation possibilities. The benchmark version of the game, superior to the original in every dimension of gameplay depth."
"Final Fantasy VII International is the enriched Japanese version incorporating bonus scenes from the western release and additional materias. The same absolute masterpiece experience in JRPG history with added content. The most complete version of FFVII on PS1."
"An absolute masterpiece, the first fully 3D Final Fantasy on a Sony console. The CTB combat system, the moving story of Tidus and Yuna, and the art direction of Spira compose a transcendent experience. One of the greatest achievements in role-playing game history."
"Enriched Japanese version of FFX with the bonus Dark Aeons, Penance, Expert and Black Sphere Grids and additional scenes. The most complete JRPG experience on PS2 with content for hundreds of hours. The definitive version for fans wanting to exhaust the title."
"Final Fantasy V Advance on GBA, the SNES FFV long inaccessible in the West. Flexible and unique job system, endearing story. A RPG gem finally accessible to all."
