The format of these posts is simple: let’s discuss a specific game or series!
Let’s discuss the Final Fantasy series of video games. What are your favorites? What aspects do you like about it? What doesn’t work for you? Feel free to share any thoughts that come up, or react to other peoples comments. Let’s get the conversation going!
If you have any recommendations for games or series for the next post(s), please feel free to DM me or add it in a comment here (no guarantees of course).
XII was one of the first mainline games I played through, and I really got into it. After playing most of the rest, I get why it doesn’t come off as a “proper” FF game. That said, I always wanted more just like it. Perhaps a spinoff, or maybe ivalice alliance could be reinstated as a more tactics-focused FF franchise while the main line goes on doing… whatever it did for XVI.
I’ve played Tactics only this year and was surprised how much XII resembles it in mechanics despite these games belonging to different RPG subgenres. It lead me to think that XII only happened because there was this proper foundation of Tactics, so I doubt there’d ever be another mainline game in Ivalice, but more Tactics games are possible, I think.
I wish I’ll have enough time at some point to get to the Ivalice storyline in XIV.

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!
