Kotaku: In my perfect worlds of Final Fantasy, everyone would be decked out as odd and/or be wonderful - be it design, characteristics or personalities. They would also not be relegated at being [insert low level stats] because I had no inclination to include them in my group of fighters. In the adventure happening outside of the wagon (whoops, wrong series reference), they would all be cool enough to go exploring with me in my party (or at least in heavy rotation when given the choice).
Unfortunately, they really all cannot be memorable and loved. It's a sad truth that often happens… but not today! Today, I will struggle to remember all of you lackluster characters and give you a moment of glory! ...In an article about how forgettable you were to me.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
The Black Mages' Legacy, the FFIX animated series set to release in 2028, has officially moved to "In Production" at EuroVisual Studios.
Final Fantasy VII 1997 exceeds 15.5 million units sold worldwide as of February 2026, reinforcing its legacy as the series best selling title.
I’d love to know how many units have been sold of all the Final Fantasy VII franchise games, including the original, the remakes, spin offs such as Crisis Core, and mobile games Ever Crisis. I bet a fair few copies.
Modern day publisher be like: "Failed to meet sales expectations. Pivoting to live service."
It's an absolute legend of a game. And I honestly really love how the remake trilogy is shaping up so far.
Khimari was awesome. Can't say the same for Penello and Vaan though...
I think Quistis is more forgettable than the rest of the FFVIII cast. Which is a shame because she started off really interesting....then the game just sort of forgot about her and she faded into the background during most scenes. :(
