The upcoming fourth expansion, Endwalker, looks like it will do the same when it launches on November 23, 2021.įinal Fantasy 14 excels in so many areas. The game got off to an extremely rocky start when it launched in 2010, but since 2013's A Realm Reborn relaunch, the popular MMO (massively multiplayer online game) has continued to ascend to new heights.įF14's most recent expansion, Shadowbringers, blew players away upon release with its heartfelt story alongside a litany of new gameplay improvements and stunning areas to explore. If you're after a game you can play in the long term, then look no further than Final Fantasy 14 Online.

Much like Final Fantasy 9, 10 is readily available on all platforms thanks to the Final Fantasy 10 / 10-2 HD Remaster, which packs FF10 and its oddball sequel into one affordable package. The modern day equivalent would likely be Gwent from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, in that Blitzball was almost large enough to be a game in its own right, completely distracting the player from the main story if they so desired.
It's a quirky approach to stat building, certainly, but one that's superbly fun in its novelty.įinal Fantasy 10 also featured the controversial Blitzball mini-game, which could be fiendishly immersive if you let yourself learn its intricate mechanics.
FF10 featured a more linear, character-driven story than its predecessors, but mixed it with a turn-based battle system so polished you could see your face in it.įF10 mixed things up even further with its unique Sphere Grid system, which eschewed traditional leveling up for a giant board where you could assign stats and perks to each individual character.
Simply one of the best games on the PS2, Final Fantasy 10 was arguably among the best looking titles ever at the time of release. (Image credit: Square Enix) Final Fantasy 10 (PS2)
