Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition HD ist kein schlechtes Spiel, aber es fühlt sich überflüssig an – man kann sich kaum vorstellen, dass das Publikum hier bedient wird. Obwohl es den Geist des gesamten Spiels gut genug einfängt, Es handelt sich zweifellos um eine minderwertige Version eines Serieneintrags, der von Anfang an nicht der gefeiertste war. Es hat seine Fans, natürlich, Aber eingefleischte Final-Fantasy-Enthusiasten werden sich nicht damit zufrieden geben, diese leichtere Mobilversion als Ersatz für die „richtige“ Version durchzuspielen’ experience, Es gibt kaum einen Grund einzutauchen, wenn Sie bereits gespielt haben the original, Und es gibt bessere Möglichkeiten für neugierige Gelegenheitsspieler, die in den Final Fantasy-Pool eintauchen möchten.

Windjammer, aber mit Waffen nicht the Final Fantasy II the West received on Super NES. While work on a translation of this Famicom game was apparently started, Square eventually decided to skip it and jump to the 16-bit Final Fantasy IV on the SNES instead (which was labelled as ‘Final Fantasy IIoverseas).

Final Fantasy II - das richtig 8-bit one — was a Japan-only release until 2004 when Nintendo gamers around the world were able to play it as one half of Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls es braucht. That version added a bonus section after you’d completed the game, and remains arguably the best way for Nintendo gamers to play officially, although there are ways and means to play the game elsewhere, zu, including ports on PlayStation and PSP.

Where it all began. The name of Square’s original Final Fantasy from 1987 came partly from the team’s belief that this was their last-ditch attempt to make a successful game. They may have hoped for it, but few could have predicted quite how successful the series would become.

Going back, you might not guess so, entweder; by modern standards, this is a very bare-bones vintage RPG. The kernel is there, obwohl, so although new players will definitely need to wash this down with a strong glass of historical context, series fans will find it worth investigating or revisiting. Es ist in verschiedenen Formen erhältlich, und ist einer der Titel auf der NES Classic Mini.

The remade DS version of this one was the first we’d seen of it in the West — the RPG which came out as Final Fantasy III here was Nummer 6 in Japan. A missing piece of the puzzle for overseas fans for so long, Final Fantasy III is certainly a solid entry, although probably not one that casual players or those curious about the series should begin with. Its a tough cookie difficulty-wise, but this is still very a enjoyable (not-so-Final) Fantasie.

Final Fantasy VIII tended to divide opinion when it released over two decades ago. Some new ideas hit the spot while others fell flat, and the story is certainly a love-it-or-hate-it affair. The HD presentation and helpful quality of life updates featured in the Remastered version on Switch makes it more attractive than ever but, if you pushed us, we’d say it’s probably the most ‘skippableof the mainline Final Fantasy games on Switch. Noch, it’s availability to Nintendo gamers is cause for celebration, and there are those who count this as their series favourite. Different strokes, Leute!

The remastered Final Fantasy XII: Das Tierkreiszeitalter on Switch is a great version of a great game; the Gambit-focused combat system is still a triumph and although the visuals are showing their age a little these days and the story doesn’t knock it out of the park like some other series entries, this remains a Fine-al Fantasy in unserem Buch.

See what we did there? It’s a very fine Final Fantasy, so we combin— hello?
