Top 10 Final Fantasy Games, Ranked Best to Worst
The greatest of all time
Guppmeister's picture BY: Alexander Mejia


5. Final Fantasy VIII

Rinoa's hair blowing in the wind. How scenic.

This game follows a group of young SeeD soldiers on their journey to stop an evil sorceress. The world is very futuristic and the mesh between magic and technology enriches the setting. This game moved away from some more traditional features in the franchise. No longer did you equip magic before a battle, instead you would use a skill called “draw” to pull stacks of magic out of your foes. The game also introduced us to the very popular gun blade as a weapon used by the main character.

Our Rating - 4/5

One of the bosses from FF VIII.

Yeah, I only ever played the beginning of FFXII, and even though it wasn't my first FF game (I had played FFX before it and almost got the very end) but I thought the battle system and introduction to the first characters and what you had to navigate and figure out was a little cryptic and empty. The world itself seemed a bit...pale? It just didn't stand out to me the way FFX and FFXIII did in their dynamic designs.

I can't even talk about the ending of FFX without getting worked up and emotional. Nope, can't. Won't.
