In this episode we consider some of the most innovative, enjoyable and rewarding Final Fantasy minigames in history. This case study considers how Squaresoft / Square Enix have evolved the concept of the minigame over the years and used many methods and styles to craft enjoyable breaks from the central action of a Final Fantasy story. This overview is not only a subjective consideration, but also looks at how and why minigames work, and the overall purpose they serve when crafting complex worlds and settings in the Final Fantasy anthology.
