Final Fantasy VII Rebirth takes everything the Remake built and expands it into a sprawling open world adventure that fixes most of its predecessor's pacing issues while introducing a few new ones. The combat system reaches new heights with party synergy mechanics, the character writing continues to shine, and the sheer volume of content is impressive. Some of that content lands better than others, and the open world can feel bloated in spots, but the highs here are among the best the franchise has ever achieved.

The Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series on mobile delivers six classic JRPGs with gorgeous redrawn pixel art, rearranged soundtracks, and quality-of-life improvements that make them feel both faithful and modern. This is the definitive way to experience the first six Final Fantasy games on a phone.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade brings Midgar to life with a combat system that brilliantly blends real-time action with strategic command-based elements, and its character writing gives iconic figures a depth the original could only hint at. The PC port had a rocky launch, and the corridor-heavy level design won't appeal to everyone, but the core experience is a remarkable reimagining that respects its source material while charting its own course. The Intergrade edition's Yuffie DLC adds welcome variety and a compelling side story.

Final Fantasy XIV is the MMORPG that earned its reputation the hard way, rising from a disastrous 1.0 launch to become one of the most celebrated online games ever made. The story through Shadowbringers and Endwalker represents some of the best narrative work in the Final Fantasy franchise. Dungeon and trial design is excellent, the community is welcoming, and the free trial gives you hundreds of hours before asking for a subscription. The Dawntrail expansion landed with a thud for many players, and the game sits in an uncertain transitional moment. But the core of what makes it special, the story, the fights, and the world, remains intact and still worth experiencing.

2016 · JRPG · PC / Steam

Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster packages two of the PS2 era's defining JRPGs with upgraded visuals, rearranged music, and all previously Japan-exclusive bonus content. FFX's turn-based combat remains one of the most elegant systems in the genre, and its story delivers an emotional journey that still resonates decades later. FFX-2's tonal whiplash from its predecessor is jarring, but its job system is surprisingly deep. The PC port is functional if unspectacular, and the value of two full RPGs in one package is hard to argue with.

2018 · Action RPG · PC / Steam

Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is the definitive version of one of the franchise's most underappreciated entries, featuring a political storyline that prioritizes world-building over melodrama and a Gambit system that turns party management into a fascinating programming puzzle. The Zodiac Job System adds meaningful character specialization that the original lacked, and the quality-of-life improvements make the experience far smoother. It's not the Final Fantasy for players who want a character-driven emotional journey, but for those who appreciate strategic depth and a mature narrative, it rewards patience generously.

2024 · Action RPG · PC / Steam

Final Fantasy XVI commits fully to being an action game, and its Eikon battles are among the most spectacular setpieces in gaming history. Clive's story of revolution and revenge is told with a maturity the franchise hasn't often attempted, and the combat system, designed by the team behind Devil May Cry 5, delivers when it counts. The RPG elements feel stripped back compared to series tradition, the side quest design is frequently disappointing, and the pacing between major story beats can drag. It's a bold reimagining that sacrifices breadth for intensity.

2015 · RPG

Final Fantasy VII's mobile port makes one of gaming's most iconic RPGs portable with useful quality-of-life features like speed boost and battle assist. Touch controls work well enough for a menu-driven RPG, though the aging 3D models look rougher than ever on sharp modern screens.

2018 · Action RPG · PC / Steam

Final Fantasy XV is a game defined by brilliant ideas and uneven execution. The road trip brotherhood between Noctis and his three companions is one of the franchise's most emotionally resonant relationships, and the open world exploration has a laid-back charm that no other Final Fantasy has replicated. But the story falls apart in its second half, the combat never reaches the depth it promises, and the game's troubled development is visible in its seams. The Royal Edition on PC adds substantial content, but the fundamental structural issues remain.

2018 · Action RPG

Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition condenses the sprawling console RPG into a charming chibi-styled mobile experience that captures the story's emotional core while simplifying the gameplay. It's an effective retelling, though the simplified combat and episodic pricing model limit its appeal.

2014 · RPG

Final Fantasy VI's pre-Pixel Remaster mobile port delivers one of the greatest RPGs ever made but wraps it in a controversial visual overhaul that replaces the iconic SNES sprites with a smoothed style that divides fans sharply. The game underneath remains excellent, but the presentation is a sticking point.

2016 · JRPG

Final Fantasy Brave Exvius delivered a surprisingly complete JRPG experience on mobile, with explorable towns, challenging boss trials, a full original story, and pixel art that evoked the series' golden era. Eight years of aggressive power creep and predatory gacha mechanics eventually wore down even the most devoted players, but at its best, FFBE proved that a mobile Final Fantasy could feel like the real thing.

2020 · Tactical RPG

War of the Visions delivered the mobile Final Fantasy Tactics experience many fans wanted, with gorgeous art and strategic grid-based combat, but buried it under one of the most demanding grind structures and convoluted upgrade systems in the gacha genre.
