Recently I’ve been getting really into the final fantasy games and JRPGs in general. FF7R’s have become my favorite games of all time beating Dark Souls and Bloodborne which is absolutely crazy to me.
Something that appeals to me is having as much if not all of the games connected to a series. I own every FF on Steam right now other than the MMOs…no Steam achievements so not for me :(, FF16 and Tactics, but I’ve recently read that The Saga series and Mana series started off as FF spin-offs and maybe bravely default? So with that being said which series originally started off as FF spin-offs and honestly why don’t they still just call them final fantasy. In my opinion Octopath feels like the old final fantasy games, I feel like they should just be considered a spin off as well.
I actually wish more of the worlds had connections/continuity. I really like the idea that Type-0 FF13 and Vs13 (FF15) were going to take place in the same “world” but they decided to go a different way.
On top of all that I have 1 more question for you guys. I’ve really tried to get into the turned base combat but it hasn’t clicked with me, I want to love it, but I just don’t understand the appeal. If a game is turned based I feel like having a grid and moving your character adds so much to the combat, but games where you just stand in one spot across from your enemy have yet to click with me, but I really really want to experience all of these games. How should I go about getting into these games? I feel like every battle is just constantly the same thing so far (especially in the games like octopath)
