The Mainline Final Fantasy Series Review & Tier List
10~ The good thing about being a living, breathing human is that opinions can be changed when faced with time and extra experiences. But as of right now, here is what I think about the mainline Final Fantasy series. The one thing that isn't going to change is my stance on MMOs (unless I become a fighting game streamer and then quickly retire from the pro-scene). ~
This 2 and a half year long journey has been quite the interesting one, I look forward to trying out the DQ series (least once the HD2D versions of DQ 1/2 is released I can possibly begin that... time will tell...) one day but for now; here's my thoughts on the mainline FF series.
I had a lot of fun making this video as it really poked my grey matter on my feelings in a slightly more extensive manner other than "I enjoy." Please leave a like or comment your own tier list. FF13 defenders, please help me in case there was something I missed that may shine light on my indifference to that particular entry.
