I’d say Final Fantasy is probably the most well-known JRPG series out there. With over 16 mainline games and countless spin-offs, it’s got a huge amount of games under its belt, and has had a big influence on the JRPG genre.
The first Final Fantasy game was created by Hironobu Sakaguchi in 1987. In the 36 years since the first game was released, the series has undergone numerous changes. While the games up to Final Fantasy X were all turn-based, sometimes they were played in real time. Subsequent games introduced different experimental battle systems and were MMORPGs or action games. Many fans believe the series reached its peak with the older games between Final Fantasy VI and Final Fantasy X. On the other hand, the more recent Final Fantasy games, including the Final Fantasy VII remake series, Final Fantasy XVI and every expansion of Final Fantasy XIV, have been well-received.
So what you opionion about the Final Fantasy series, what the best game and what is you opinion about the modern games.

6 is my personal favorite, though I’ve not played them all. I enjoyed the MMOs for a while, but haven’t played any single-player game newer than 7 back on playstation. I did buy JP 2 or 3 that wasn’t released in the US, but I just never had time to mess with it. I always think about playing a newer one, but the lack of time to devote to it generally stops me (and, if it requires a console, that’s probably not going to work since I only have PC and a switch).
