Five Worst Plot Twists in Final Fantasy Games

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.

It was never even supposed to keep going like it did.

"Is it true, I asked, that the game is called Final Fantasy because Sakaguchi was going to go back to college and quit the game biz? Uematsu laughed: It’s true that Sakaguchi was going to quit, he said, but the bigger reason, the real reason, was that Square was going to go bankrupt and the designers believed that it would be the company’s swan song.

Ya, that's why it was called FINAL fantasy, but it saved them in the end.

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

Its called INCEPTION, and its not (strictly speaking) legal.

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.

[bloopertrooper]

I would think he'd not mention the BEST since the article was about the WORST.

Final Fantasy II was the WORST, I mentioned two different games. It is most definitely the WORST, but the author is one to prefer Final Fantasy X over all of them (apparently), so I take it he didn't play the retro once (speculation).
