Final Fantasy VIII: All Dialogue Replaced With ‘Whatever’ Edition
Squall: ‘Whatever’
Rinoa: ‘Whatever’
Selphie: ‘Whatever’
Zell: ‘Whatever’
Quistis: ‘Whatever’
Seifer: ‘Whatever’
Final Fantasy Tictacs
No-one could have foreseen that Square Enix would go into business with a sweet manufacturer specialising in breath mints, but they did and you’ll be surprised to learn that the game is 100% bad.
After a war breaks out in Mintalice, you have to guide your minty pals through a series of turn-based battles, fighting foes such as ‘The Anti-Mint’ and ‘Jeremy the Mint Basher’.
It’s not great.
Final Fantasy VII: Aeris’ Revenge
SURPRISE, SHE’S ALIVE and she’s FURIOUS.
This spinoff sequel to Final Fantasy VII has Aeris being resurrected by the remnants of Jenova, only to go on a rampage. Can you stop her before she destroys the world?
Final Fantasy Triple Triad: Only Random Rule Edition
Because fuck you.
Final Fantasy VII: Aeris v Aerith
SURPRISE, SHE’S ALIVE and she’s FURIOUS with her translation.
Spurred on by the fury of a thousand nerds screaming that her name is actually I think you’ll find Aerith, she has resurrected and is out for blood, the blood of anyone who calls her Aeris. Or is it Aerith? Oh god I don’t care.
Final Fantasy Triple Triad: No Random Rule Edition
Because you deserve better.
Final Fantasy XV: Best Boy Parade
This spinoff is nothing more than dressing up whichever of The Boys is your favourite, and getting them to parade endlessly through the streets of Altissia, serenaded by hot tunes and dancing Moogles. Look it’s just the best OK, the boys are the best, and getting to celebrate them is the best. Shut up.
Final Fantasy VI: Ultros’ Song
Inspired by the popular opera section in FFVI, Ultros got his own spinoff where he sings a lonely song of despair and not being able to take part in the fun adventures his ‘friends’ had in FFVI, because every time he tried to make friends with them they’d beat up him savagely or throw him down a waterfall.
Poor Ultros, but man he can sing.
Final Fantasy: Moogle Dentist
Inspired by the stupidly popular Princess Dentist mobile games, this Moog-filled spinoff allows you to bash the heck out of Moogle’s mouths so you can fix their dentistry issues.
Why would you play this, why are the princess dentist games popular, what’s going on, I don’t understand anything anymore.
Cooking With Quina
Alright joking aside I would play the shit out of this one.
Happy birthday Final Fantasy, you have done some Good Games.
