Few licenses in the videogames sector have been as valued and played over decades as Final Fantasy, one of the three great RPG franchises of Square Enix – along with Dragon Quest and Kingdom Hearts. This is one of those few licenses that have one of those that can easily be considered as the best video games created in history, for example, Final Fantasy VII which is now being made a remake for PS4. However, the franchise has many more jewels that have undoubtedly marked players for many years.
And if something we can highlight from this classic role license is, without a doubt, the large number of incredible stories, unrepeatable characters and moments that we have been recorded in memory. Thanks also to some fantastic soundtracks that helped make the stories mark us much more.
The license, which began with his first episode in 1987 released for NES, continued in Super Nintendo and later made the change for PlayStation platforms for the reasons that we all know, will soon receive one of the most anticipated projects. The remake of FF VII is for many its great goal in the coming months

Some of the most valued Final Fantasy in history
How most episodes of the Final Fantasy saga have a quality for its brutal era, and their stories always mark the players, it is not always easy to decide which is the best of them all. It is unfair to compare games that are not released in the same era or generation, but no doubt these titles are probably the ones that always appear in the top positions of the polls.
Final Fantasy X
(Released in 2001 for PlayStation 2)
We started with one of the most remembered by fans, although we already talked about a title released on PS2. The story of Tidus and YunaIn addition to its dramatic ending and some script twists, they undoubtedly shed a few tears. In addition, it is the last one with a game system based entirely on shifts Traditional -Final Fantasy XII mixed real time-, also highlighting the progression of the characters with the famous board of spheres.
Enjoy a direct sequel, Final Fantasy X-2, but it was not as well received as the original.
Final Fantasy VII
(Released in 1997 for PlayStation)
The first game in the series to reach a PlayStation console is, for many, the best of all the Final Fantasy that have been made. At least it includes some of the most recognized characters in the license, such as Cloud Strife, Aeris or Tifa
They say the stories improve depending on how good the villain is, and in this case Sephiroth designed by Tetsuya Nomura, is probably one of the best villains we have seen in the sector.
Final Fantasy IX
(Launched in 2000 for PlayStation)
This is the last episode released for PlayStation after Final fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VIII. A game that remembered to a great extent the origins of the license, with a classic world of medieval type mixed with fantastic elements. Recall that in the previous episodes the worlds pulled more towards the futuristic and science fiction.
In addition to a good number of tributes and winks to the license
Final Fantasy XIV
(Released in 2010 for PlayStation 3 and PC)
Although originally its release was highly criticized by fans, the truth is that the launch of its review known as Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn fixed many of the failures the community argued and little by little it was brewing one of the best titles of the license. Of course, like Final Fantasy XI, the fourteenth episode of the license is a massively multiplayer online game.
That means our history will be shared by a lot of players that we will see in a huge game world. With up to 8 races to select and dozens of jobs or classes to select.
Of course, these are not all licensed games with a large number of followers supporting them, and other featured games with Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy III or Final Fantasy XIII and its sequels. Maybe the franchise with Final Fantasy XV has not had one of its best releases, but surely this reinterpretation of FF VII that will arrive on April 10 will return the license to its highest levels of quality.
Of course, we must remember that the release of this remake is episodic, so the story will not be complete in this first game.
