The NES is where Final fantasy But it wasn’t until the time of the SNES that the series began to flourish. However, many fans would say the series only exploded on PS1 thanks to Final Fantasy VII. Including this game, twelve main titles and spin-offs have been released for the material. There are two more games to mention before continuing.
Ehrgeiz: God bless the ring and Vagabond story are technically related to the Final fantasy franchise. Ehrgeiz is a wrestling game that had Final Fantasy VII characters like Cloud in cameo roles. Vagabond story was not launched as part of the Ivalice series but was then reconnected but still is not what you might call a Final fantasy Game. These example games may confuse things, but the rest of these entries are straightforward.

Chocobo stallion
Chocobo stallion released in 1999 only in Japan. It was a simulation game on the theme of breeding Chocobo and their race. contrary to Final Fantasy VII from which it seems this game draws a lot of inspiration, gamers have taken a casual approach to racing segments. That’s okay, as raising Chocobo has its own benefits which can be quite calming like Animal crossing.

Chocobo Dice
Chocobo dice also released in 1999 exclusively in Japan. It got a GBA port in 2002, but it was also only in Japan. The game is like an RPG version of Monopoly. There is a whole series like that in Japan called Itadaki Street, which the West got a game in the series: Fortune Street for the Wii.

Chocobo No Fushigi Na Dungeon
Chocobo no Fushigi na Dungeon released in 1996 in Japan only. It’s the first Final fantasy thematic impact at the Mystery Dungeon dungeon crawler roguelikes series.
It’s a little harder than the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games but it’s close in terms of usability. It’s a good roguelike for beginners in other words.

Final Fantasy Chronicles
Final Fantasy Chronicles released in 2001. It was a combo pack that included direct rom ports from the trigger of a stopwatch and Final Fantasy IV. However, they were burnt to the discs which wasn’t great as the load times were noticeably bad. The added cutscenes were nice, but it’s the worst way to play either game.

Final Fantasy Anthology
Final Fantasy Anthology was a similar combo pack released a few years earlier in 1999 for North America. He understood Final Fantasy VI and for the first time Final fantasy v. It was originally a 1992 SNES game in Japan, meaning it took eight years to complete. Load times were a bit better in this collection but these ports still weren’t the most ideal.

Chocobo Dungeon 2
Chocobo Dungeon 2 is the first game that North America got in this spinoff franchise. It’s very similar to the first in terms of gameplay and it doesn’t seem like a lot of new stuff has been added to differentiate the two. On the positive side, fans of the Final fantasy the playoffs were always happy to see it coming.

Chocobo race
Chocobo race, unlike Chocobo stallion, allowed players to run manually. It’s more different than Final Fantasy VII well and instead was Squaresoft’s attempt at a Mario kart clone.

Origins of Final Fantasy
Origins of Final Fantasy was a very late release for the PS1 in 2003 for North America. It was already three years in the life cycle of the PS2. However, it launched at a price of $ 20, which was a nice incentive.

Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy VIII had big shoes to fill in afterwards Final Fantasy VII. Maybe that’s why the reaction was so mixed when it launched, as some didn’t feel it had taken a leap forward. It is a black sheep of the family, very different from any other entry. It’s still a great RPG that has pushed the boundaries of the PS1 as well.

Final Fantasy IX
Final Fantasy IX was a farewell to the classic Final fantasy medieval decorations. This is exactly what the series and the PS1 needed at the time. Maybe one day the proper games will return to this more fantastic setting and move away from the more technical side of the newer entries. Final Fantasy XVI looks like it’s pretty close.

Final Fantasy Tactics
Final Fantasy Tactics was the first entry in this tactical RPG spin-off. An idea successful enough that Square Enix decided to use its world, Ivalice, to create a sprawling universe. It connected the fallout and the main entrances. There are only six games in the Ivalice sub-series so far, but that number could increase overnight.

Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VII was the highlight of the series up to this point. It really raised the bar in terms of visuals, storytelling, and gameplay compared to its NES and SNES predecessors. The PS1 had some success before that, but it’s one of the games that made the system so popular. Even non-RPG fans jumped on the Final Fantasy bandwagon.
