Final Fantasy

Out of many games, Final Fantasy titles were the least of my expectations to see on GOG. If you know Square Enix, you surely understand.

Anyway, this is a great day for DRM-free. 4 of the FF titles are finally here. Hopefully these are baby steps from Square Enix.

• Final Fantasy III (3D Remake)
• Final Fantasy IV (3D Remake)
• FINAL FANTASY IX
• FINAL FANTASY VIII - REMASTERED

We’re almost there. Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is out 30th September 2025 and has been long awaited by many of us.

Remember to keep spoilers behind spoilers tags.

Whether you’re a newcomer or an old-hat, I hope you all enjoy the foray to Ivalice!

I'm a massive fan of the original Final Fantasy VII—it's one of those games that defined my childhood. Recently, someone in my retro gaming podcast community voted for me to cover Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII, and I've never actually played it myself. I remember it getting a pretty mixed reception back when it released in 2006 because it ditched the classic turn-based RPG formula for something more action-oriented. I watched my brother play bits of it, and it looked like a third-person shooter with Vincent as the star, which felt kinda off at the time. Not sure if I'd love it or hate it.

So, is Dirge a good game overall? What should I know going into it—pros, cons, tips for enjoying it, or any lore connections to the Compilation (like Advent Children or Crisis Core) that make it worthwhile? Does it hold up today, especially after the Remake trilogy?

Also I'm always looking for new guest speakers. If you're interested, feel free to DM me.

Thanks in advance for the insights!

I finished a very enjoyable playthrough from start to VI thanks to Pixel Remasters, and I bought VII-IX on Switch to keep it going. I'm on the first arc in Kalm after leaving Midgard and I am finding it a struggle to get through. This game moves so slow, the story is not at all interesting so far, combat is entirely monotonous, the characters are flat, the controls are clunky, and the cut scenes are excruciatingly long and pointless.

I do not want to play through it for completeness sake, but I also don't want to give up too early.

I feel like I should be enjoying it by now, right? Is there some point in the story where it really takes off? If so, how close am I?

Introducing State of the Realm, a handy feature in Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles that will provide more information about the characters and the world of Ivalice - as well as the story thus far - between battles.

The music in FFVI was ahead of its time.

Hallo Community! ❤️

I‘m near the end of FF7 Rebirth and I already cry to know that it will end.

Which Game (FF Game) should I play next? I already played 16 and my very first FF Revenant Wings (I was 12 years old).

I currently have my eyes on FF X, but maybe others have different recommendations :)
