The Final Fantasy series has had a huge impact on my life – the only series with a larger impact is Pokémon. The first one I played was FFVI back in around 7th grade. Now at the time I had no idea how to play RPGs, so I made a few key errors such as…
Yeah. I was pretty stupid.
But as time went on and I grew somewhat less stupid, I began to enjoy the Final Fantasy series a lot. And, since I’m a perfectionist, I began to desire the “perfect game save” for each Final Fantasy.
What’s a perfect game save? It definitely depends on the game because each Final Fantasy is different – one of the highlights of the series, in fact. So I’ve outlined some requirements for a perfect game save for each game and given them achievement-sounding names to see if I can…well, achieve them for each game. They generally include beating all the superbosses, completing magic/ability lists, and getting the best equipment for any “main” characters – characters who fight the final boss.
I will also include screenshots of the final battles. And people who want to argue that Safer Sephiroth, Kuja, and Braska’s Final Aeon are the true final bosses of VII, IX, and X...you have a point (but I’m still doing it my way). So…spoiler alert?
- I tried as hard as I could not to fight random battles.
- When prompted to create multiple parties, I grouped all the fighters together and all the magic-users together (and such).
