In the genre of role playing video games, Final Fantasy is basically the dominant franchise. Despite the impressiveness of most of the Final Fantasy stories, there have been a few particularly bad plot twists in the series. M. Strauss gives the five worst.
Gary Green said: We’re finding ourselves in a similar position with the Pixel Remaster edition of Final Fantasy IV as we were with Final Fantasy III since, once again, we’ve received a slightly upscaled, more vibrant port of the original game when there’s already an expanded 3D remake available. As such, we’re playing a game which, even after its long-awaited release, still lives very much in the shadow of its remake.
If only they didn't screw ps4 owners over with a physical release. I'd have ran through this in a heartbeat.
The first one I played, it was the one that made me fall in love with JRPGs and is still my favorite to this day. A masterpiece
Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."
Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.
HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.
It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.
What a word vomit, rambling, turd of an article that simply states the obvious. Classic exputer.
Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.
I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence
can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?
Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.
@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.
I mean come on, 13 freaking games and over 30 spin offs and splinter franchises.
I mean chamown! Stop!
haha good article. Yes, there are so many lame plot twists in the FF games, im pretty disgusted too. The whole 'its a dream' thing is a pain
The "orphanage" plot twist was incredibly frustrating but the plot wasn't exactly God-awful, I mean if you really dig into it there are a more nuances in FF8's plot and backstory than any other FF out there. Except maybe 7, but it has multiple games to flesh out a backstory.
Umm... so did the author of this Article never play Final Fantasy II? The best plot-twist, for than one reason, was included in Mystic Quest/USA.
