BNR: A good long while ago I noticed that the Nintendo DS/mobile phone version of Final Fantasy IV came to Steam and it was kind of... Ugly. Well, great news- Final Fantasy IV: The After Years is also coming to Steam, and it's just as ugly.
While FFVII ranks highly, there's more to the series than one game. Here's Chit Hot's picks for the seven best Final Fantasy characters.
A landmark RPG rich in personality, Final Fantasy IV took the series to the moon and back.
This was the game that got me to notice the series. 6 is the one that captured my heart and 7 was when it cemented it as one of my all-time favorite series. For me 4 - 9 are the best. 10... I can appreciate it and enjoy it, but it doesn't hold a candle to the classics. 12 is good too, but I can never finish it. 13... well, it's--it's a game. 15 starts off pretty strong, but then feels rushed and slapped together with duct tape and glue by the end.
I'm hoping 16 will blow away all expectations and really give us a game that rivals the classics. The trailers are doing a good job in making me think it can!
The theme of remorse & redemption still haunt me today. This game also introduced the famous Crystal Theme.

Thankfully Square Enix has produced protagonists that mostly fit that bill – though there are some exceptions. There is much discourse with some leads getting more love than others. Overall, though, Final Fantasy characters, are celebrated. Here’s our ranking of all protagonists from the Final Fantasy series."
" If you define him solely by these traits though, you’re doing a disservice to his past and the character arc he has over the course of the game "
Which is why when people say shit about Squall I know they probably haven't taken an interest in his character development with the story.
Ramza is the greatest FF protagonist of all time. Excellent characterization.
Out of everything you could say about Lightning, you picked "Independent", she is the opposite to that, perhaps the only thing that was interesting about her is how mentally fragile she gets when there isn't a goal blinding her
Ugly indeed. I wish they just ported an HD version of the sprite version on the PSP.
This is just as bad as the announcement of FFVII on the PS4.
I wouldn't agree more.
Well on the bright side at least it gives people more opportunity to play the game if they haven't played it yet.
They tried to whoo people with a glorious trailer hoping they don't actually see the real game
