We've arrived at the Final Fantasy game I was most looking forward to. It has a reputation for being one of the best in the series. 30 years later, it's still the number one pick for many fans. I can see why!

This was a major step forward in the gameplay of the series. For the first time, I found myself seeking out random battles for the sole reason that it was fun. This absolutely carried the game.

FFIV may not be the absolute best Final Fantasy, but it clearly serves as an important evolution in the series. It sets up the core, iconic formula that comes to mind when I think about what it means to be a mainline Final Fantasy game.

Final Fantasy is a series I adore. A couple managed to make it into my top 10 (X) games. Yet, I haven't played much of the series. I've decided it's time to play the rest. Against every recommendation online, I'm playing in release order.
