Do I need to play Final Fantasy before 14?

You really don’t need to play any of the main FFs to understand the others, even though they share a few things such as Chocobos like someone else has said. If you end up liking the game you play, I would suggest also trying out different games in the series as well since they’re all very different from each other.

Does Final Fantasy 13 get better?

You need to have played XIII first though because the story directly follows. It absolutely does get better imho, but you’re in for a long, whiny road (thanks to Hope, god I hate that character in the early game). Chapter 11 you end up on Pulse and the game opens up considerably.

Why is FF 13 bad?

While the combat in FFXIII has its ups and downs, one aspect of the game that is uniformly bad is the story. Even when you do feel like you understand what’s going on, a much larger obstacle gets in the way of preventing you from enjoying the story – the characters.

What should I do if I have never played Final Fantasy?

You should not play it. If you missed in it’s time, you most probably won’t like it. If you like classic jRPGs, you should definitely pick it up. It still holds up pretty well. Not the best (its 3d isn’t just aging; it’s died, decomposed and moved on to the netherworld) in terms of anything (gameplay, story, graphics) but still enjoyable.

Is there a continuing story in Final Fantasy 7?

There’s no continuing story to worry about, so if you can handle random encounters in ’09 then go for it. 7 was the first FF game I played – it was pretty awesome. All Final Fantasy games should now have the option to skip all fights that aren’t bosses. No, FF VII has dated really badly. It is only good for its nostalgic value.

Do you need a backstory to play Final Fantasy?

But keep in mind it’s pretty traditional turn-based role-playing. You don’t need any sort of backstory to play the game, as each FF game is unique unto itself until you get to FFX-2. Hope you enjoy it!

What do you need to know about Final Fantasy X?

This game will prepare you for Final Fantasy games past and present. In the wide pantheon of Final Fantasy games, Final Fantasy X isn’t the newest or the most popular.
