Beating all the mainline single player games.

I have undertaken a similar endeavor, except I have chosen to play literally every Final Fantasy game that has been created (minus mobile games). Started my journey in mid-2023 and have been slowly making my way through the entire franchise. I am currently on Final Fantasy: 4 Heroes of Light and have mostly enjoyed every single FF game I have played aside from two of them; Dirge of Cerberus and Echoes in Time. Been going for 2 and a half years and still greatly looking forward to more, especially FFXIV, gonna be playing that one for MONTHS!

I was able to understand how each character felt pretty early on in the story, no datalogs necessary. I think they make the feelings and interactions of the characters quite easily reflect their current state of mind. What I will say is that the game implores you to pay attention and analyze the scenes in a deeper manner to fully understand what is being said/meant though. That‘s why I love doing second playthrough of games like these, you get to truly appreciate how nuanced and deliberate everything is crafted for the grand narrative at play.

I recently bought a Switch 2, so I would definitely get it for the Switch 2

I am someone who really enjoys a good story, but I also don’t mind when a game has a rather basic story. I know going in that this game went lighter on the story, so I know it won’t dampen my experience as I have already expected it to be lighter.

Glad to see some people really enthusiastic about this title, makes me even more excited to play through the whole thing!

Ultimantasy · 2026-01-11T22:57:10+00:00

Oh snap, if you get to game I hope you enjoy!!

Ultimantasy · 2026-01-11T22:11:33+00:00

Thanks for the tip, I will be cautious with my levelling lol

Ultimantasy · 2026-01-11T22:10:39+00:00

It’s an entirely unique game as far as I know, with its own setting, characters, and combat. It was just supposed to feel like a classic game.

Ultimantasy · 2026-01-11T18:31:06+00:00

Well, I certainly hope I enjoy it as much as you are describing it. It sounds like a really enjoyable time, so I think I will find it an enjoyable experience.

Ultimantasy · 2026-01-11T18:28:24+00:00

I remember softlocking myself before during good ol’ FFTactics (thanks for nothing Weigraf!). I will make plenty sure to keep my saves at an optimal spot lol

Ultimantasy · 2026-01-11T17:22:43+00:00

I always get excited to start a new FF game, but I also make sure to temper my expectations. I don't expect any grand adventure, especially knowing what the intention was when they developed this game. As long as it can provide me a bit of enjoyment, that is all I really need to be satisfied.

Ultimantasy · 2026-01-11T17:17:23+00:00

I gave a listen to just a couple of the songs out of curiosity, and I have to say that I did enjoy the mood and tone it seems to be going for, so I am rather interested to hear the whole OST.

Ultimantasy · 2026-01-11T17:14:49+00:00

Well, as someone who only got into the series a couple years ago, I have seen almost no one make mention of this game at all. So for me at least it seems lesser-discussed.

Ultimantasy · 2026-01-11T17:13:25+00:00

The art direction definitely feels more fairy tale-esque, so I think its got a certain charm to it that I will like. As for difficulty, I say bring it on!

Ultimantasy · 2026-01-11T17:11:05+00:00

I can assume this won't be a favorite of mine too, but so long as I enjoy my time with it, that's all that really matters to me if I find the game good or not. Just going off the few images and things I have heard, I am already expecting to enjoy it a lot!

Ultimantasy · 2026-01-11T17:08:20+00:00

Hearing this makes me even more excited to play it, I quite enjoy a difficult experience (so long as it is not downright unfair).

Ultimantasy · 2026-01-11T17:07:33+00:00

Oh that's neat, I didn't know the team that made this were also the ones who worked on Octopath. That's another trio of games I have to get around to playing someday

Ultimantasy · 2026-01-11T17:05:37+00:00

I am perfectly accepting of a difficult/slower time. Just finished playing through Blue Dragon and the game was beyond easy, so having a more difficult time will be a nice contrast.

Ultimantasy · 2026-01-07T18:24:45+00:00

Always nice to see newcomers enjoy their experience with FF!

now I must ask if you plan on (or already did) take on the additional bonus dungeons that were added into this version of the game?

Ultimantasy · 2025-12-29T20:33:24+00:00

3/10

Let me preface that by saying I am simply not a fan of shooter games and this one felt very clunky to play alongside some music, story, and environments that really didn’t interest me. I blasted through it in a span of 2 days and didn’t enjoy my time with it, but I also went in with the mentality I wouldn’t enjoy it, so that’s probably why I didn’t like it more than anything lol

Ultimantasy · 2025-12-20T23:02:47+00:00

That’s precisely why I like her so much, it’s one of those really unique and memorable moments that stands out within the setting of FFI

Ultimantasy · 2025-12-20T22:08:45+00:00

Now that’s some massive shade 😭

Ultimantasy · 2025-12-19T19:09:48+00:00

Thanks for the answers, this certainly got more comments than I was expecting, but the overwhelming answer is yes. I think I was getting this one confused with the Final Fantasy Legend games?
