Hallo Community! ❤️
I‘m near the end of FF7 Rebirth and I already cry to know that it will end.
Which Game (FF Game) should I play next? I already played 16 and my very first FF Revenant Wings (I was 12 years old).
I currently have my eyes on FF X, but maybe others have different recommendations :)
Clair obscure: Expedition 33. Ok it’s not a final fantasy but it’s similar turn-based combat to FF/Persona with a lot of style and melodrama. Love it.
I’ve been watching someone play and it really does give big FF vibes. The dodge thing is brand new afaik and it turns it into more of a quicktime combat which I personally don’t enjoy, but it’s unique and pretty awesome and KILLER story so far. They’re approaching the end of act 2 and I thought it was the end so I can’t wait to see how it turns out.
If you’ve played Revenant Wings then maybe take a look at other games in the Ivalice Alliance series - XII may be the more appropriate choice as RW is its sequel.
Otherwise I’d consider one of the more turn-based ones to get a flavour of those FF games. FFX is probably going to be a top choice there and you’re already looking at it, but there’s plenty of good ones to decide from. My favourite is VIII but that doesn’t mean it’s the best for you. IX is a common favourite that you might also enjoy. And FFVI from pre-PlayStation era is another common favourite.
X/XII are great choices for their emotional impact. XIII and Type-0 are good choices if you like fast paced combat (fair warning, it does take like 20 hours before the XIII combat becomes actually engaging). VI and IV probably have the best 2d stories, assuming you don’t count Chrono Trigger as a Final Fantasy, I do count it as one though. XIV is great if you’re looking to spend another 200+ hours playing and it’s also one of the few FFs to make me cry
The best 2d story? That belongs to Tactics
I was too young and impatient to pay attention, I just spent all my time breeding black chocobos. The job system was a bit much for me at the time too, but it was fun.

FF X is my favorite one, best story.
FFX is my personal favorite
Take a walk down nostalgia road and get yourself a copy of FF8 and 9 (maybe even 7 as well) to have the peak PS1-Era experience!
1-6 are great
