At the Final Fantasy 16 Pre-Launch Celebration Live Stream, which took place following Summer Game Fest 2023 and the 2023 Xbox Game Showcase, game producer Naoki Yoshida announced that the upcoming RPG will receive a free demo on PlayStation 5.
In addition, when you clear the Prologue, a second Special Battle Demo demo will unlock, which focuses on an older version of Clive from later on in the game. This features more of his special ‘Eikonic’ combat abilities, and serves as a better demonstration of the game’s new real-time combat system.

Elsewhere in the FF16 Pre-Launch Celebration, Square Enix revealed that development on the game was supported by PlatinumGames (Nier: Automata) and the Square Enix division responsible for Kingdom Hearts 4.
The demo will include the first 2 hours of the game – the opening Prologue that explores protagonist Clive’s life as a youth – and will allow the savegame data to be transferred to the full version of the game. It’s a feature that Square Enix has consistently adopted with the demo versions of its recent RPG titles, and a very convenient one at that, given how long and story-heavy its games typically are.

It’s crazy to me that Final Fantasy 13 to 16 took from 2009 all the way to 2023.

What makes FF6 even more impressive is that they made it in so little time. That game was made super rushed, Japanese version and translated in MONTHS by one guy. Was it perfect, absolutely not! It's a masterpiece!

I grew up with my grandparents and my grandma played EVERY single final fantasy game. At the time I was too young to understand them or appreciate them. When she was done beating ff9 on playstation 1 she passed the system onto me and my brother. For some reason ff7 really stuck with me and for my brother it was ff9. As I grew older I got my hands on the original ones and all of them are just generally good games.. lots of memories with the franchise and to this day I'd willingly go back and play any one of them. Long live final fantasy ❤

It's hard to explain to younger people now how groundbreaking FF7 was at the time it came out. There had never, ever been a game with such a large scope. The world was absolutely enormous, unlike any RPG that had ever been made. The use of pre-rendered graphics on the PSX was genius, and enabled cutscenes and backgrounds with much better graphics than anyone had ever seen in a game. Not only was it an unparalleled game in its own right, but it really is responsible for setting the bar for what AAA games are, even today.

The music in ff8 always takes me back to my childhood even though all I played was ff7

[Dragonfury]

9 is such a nice lighthearted adventure with such amazing visuals and soundtrack. When I think about FF this is the game that best defines the spirit of the series.

[Hypermedicrity]

I loved the change up of FFX. Instead of playing the "hero" you play as a sort of side character who is witnessing Yunas Hero journey.

[zubiecup]

FFVII was my first FF, but FFVIII will likely always be my favorite, followed somewhat closely by X.

[akuma_matata__]

Props to your FF12 rating. It was my first FF game and brings back so many great memories. The characters were so well written despite the main story being lackluster.

[tabibutler]

I’m so glad 12 got respect in this, it’s my favourite alongside 7 and it just blows my mind how intricate and progressive it is. The soundtrack especially is one of my favourite parts!

[wekings]

FF8 has some flaws, but the whole vibe of the game is 10/10.

[caleb]

People showed me FFVII back in the day, but I just didn't understand the hype at that time. FFVIII was the one that actually impressed me and it's still my favourite to this day. Nowdays I can acknowledge that FFVII is also a brilliant game, coming in at number two for me.

Love this dudes passion for Final Fantasy which definitely shows through in all his Final Fantasy videos. This is great list done by someone who knows Final Fantasy very well. I would love to see that final boss tier list.

[jasoncease]

FF1 (A), FF2 (D), FF3 (D), FF4 (C), FF5 (A), FF6 (B), FF7 (B), FF8 (A), FF9 (B), FF10 (C), FF11 (D), FF12 (A), FF13 (C), FF14 (A), FF15 (B), FF16 (Still playing)

[Rightchickenwing]

7:00 I didnt realise there was a remaster of FF12. I may check it out, cheers mate 🤜🤜

[zeroconnection]

Final Fantasy 9 is king.






In my opinion

[angrywhalewatcher]

My top 3 are FF7, FF9, FF5. I love randomizer runs on FF5 where I limit myself to one job class per crystal.

[lslurpeek]

Just played through 5 and its at least as good as 4. The flexability you have in class and abilities were really cool.

[nickdub]

I played final fantasy XI from 2004 to 2006 pretty hardcore. You're definitely right. The game was obtuse but it was designed that way. The game relied on a lot of tribal knowledge as the internet was still not full of guides. Past level 10 you had to group up with 5 others in a structured group to kill mobs endlessly to level up. There was no such thing as soloing unless you were a beastmaster. So the community was very close and helpful. Grinding out goblins and mandragora in yuhtunga and yhoater jungle late at night with random folks was great. Met a lot of cool people playing that game.

Now you can get a full group of npcs and solo it all but Back in its original form, it was a unique experience I wish more fans of the franchise could have experienced.
