The MMOs are great, but what are the best numbered Final Fantasy games you can play alone?

    18. III
    19. II
    20. IV: The After Years

    It’s only numbered single player games and numbered sequels. So no Tactics. Some of this seems intended to drum up controversy. But that’s their list.

    Edit: It’s also missing Crisis Core. So I guess it doesn’t include direct prequels either.

        They specified single player in the title. So neither XI or XIV would be included. I just thought it was odd that they didn’t include any of the other single player games either.

        Lightning Returns is above 4! And it’s above the other games in the 13 series! 10 2 is above 10 for some reason! This list is absurd just for those!

        (not that anyone asked, but
        6
        10
        7
        12
        5
        4
        10 2
        1
        3
        2

        Didn’t play 8 9 or 13, or enough of 15 or 16 to have an opinion. 14 isn’t on the original list but it’s at the top)

    Why even make these lists? Game taste is very subjective. I would not rank them in this order but then i haven’t played all of them either.

      Two reasons:

      • generate engagement - a lot of people will disagree, which means a lot of people will click
      • it lists (almost) all of the games, with a short description of why to play; that has value for me, since I like to play most of a given series I like

      I personally don’t care about the order they give, I care more about the consolidated list of games. I especially like the “top XX games in {genre}” lists, because it helps me find fun games to play in a genre I like. Again, I don’t care about order, I’m just looking for a somewhat related list of well-known games.

    My (obviously factual) list:

    1. XVI (Cancelled immediately)
    2. XII (Double cancelled)
    3. IX (Redemption)
    4. XV (Nvm ultra-cancelled)
    5. VI
    6. X
    7. V
    8. VII (Crucifixion)
    9. IV
    10. III
    11. II
    12. I
    13. VIII (Goated OST)

    Never played XIII. I do have a Japanese PS3 copy, and I intend to play that when I have some knowledge of the language. Good practice.
