This game also has the first instance of an open battle system instead of random encounters. Two Most Unique Features: The “gambit” battle system that lets players to preset attacks for characters to use. It took valuable risks that the series needed for it to reach the milestones we see today. However, XII has a deep story and innovative gameplay that led to the open concept battle system we find in the most recent entries. Why It Deserves the Spot: XII is one entry that was skipped over by fans who were still clutching onto X or were too excited by XIII. The group escapes from the kingdom and inevitably joins the resistance against the false king. His wish is granted after he steals a piece of magicite and two sky pirates, Fran and Balthier, find him taking their desired loot. What It's About: XII follows Vaan, an orphan who dreams of being a sky pirate, in a kingdom ravaged by corruption. The gameplay matches each character's personality, with some having unique transformation abilities while others can straight up suplex a train.īright and Brand New: The PC port of VI comes with updated HD graphics, but many players don't think the new art style fits the theme of the game.Įverything but the Kitchen Sink: VI comes with a large and customizable cast, so you can play how you want.

Two Most Unique Features: VI's intense story brings a large cast to match, with over 14 characters to include in your party. Thankfully, mods were created to bypass most of the drawbacks, so it's still worth checking out this staple of the series. Players complain about the overly-cutesy remake of the art style and the inferior choice of HUB design. Why It Deserves the Spot: While VI is considered a true classic by both fans and critics alike, its PC port is one of the weakest entries on this list. It follows the mysterious Terra Branford as she joins an underground rebellion to not only stop the corrupt Gestahlian Empire-and the villainous, Joker-esque, Kefka-but also discover her true origins. What It's About: Magic, rebellion, world domination, and evil Jesters, oh my! Final Fantasy VI's strongest feature is it's story.
