Hard Era: The Fantasy Defence

Which Final Fantasy game should you play first?

Does Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, a game long forgotten in the Final Fantasy series, have the best soundtrack of all of the games? Brian thinks so. Let him convince you.

A quarter of a century later, one great Final Fantasy game serves as the dividing line that began a series of more unique Final Fantasy games.

I think my favourite thing about the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy so far is the specific ways in which the developers at Square Enix inject nostalgia. The games launched to date - Remake and Rebirth - manage to nod warmly towards aspects of the original RPG without it ever feeling trite. You can see it in so many aspects of the way the games are curated: the way certain musical sequences are teased as motifs, and then brought in, full-throated, for certain boss fights; the redesigns of (in)famous monsters, and how certain major enemies are deployed in slightly remixed ways for maximum effect

Yoshi-P is not chortin' it.
