As a huge Final Fantasy fan who is fiending for the next adaption of the series, I thought I would pass a very small amount of waiting time by constructing my Top 5 list of the best Final Fantasy Characters. This list is based on my own opinion, but I like hearing from fellow fans so let me know what you think, either in the comments below or by emailing me at Gswaby@thekoalition.com.
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
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.
Final Fantasy 7 is one of the most iconic video games of all time, with it helping to changed the RPG landscape when it was released in 1997.
If you already own it... There, I saved you the click on a deliberately misleading article.
I bought the game yesterday on steam for $4 because Square Enix is trying to replace it with a version that has no mod support.
Prior to yesterday, I had no idea the game had so many great mods until people started making a fuss out of it.
u get the switch 1 version of the og ff7 for free if you own 7 remake for the switch 2.
lol.
This list is gunna piss off some of some of the 2D purist..
Squall isn't on there?
Top 5 Final Fantasy Characters? They should change the title to "Top 5 Final Fantasy Characters from the Two Games in the Series I've Played".
SEPHIROTH FTW!!!!!!
Needs more Locke, Kefka, Cecil, Vincent, Cid (FF7), and Kuja.
C'mon, man. Sephiroth is cool and all, but he and Cloud don't need to top every darn list.
