Final Fantasy

Final Fantasy Guía y cronología

A new Final Fantasy can mean a different world, a new cast and another kind of adventure. The role-playing games return to ideas of friendship, loss and powers that reshape society without requiring every story to share a history. Particular titles grow into connected sequels, films and other companion works.

Final Fantasy: choose a world before building a play order

Most numbered Final Fantasy games offer their own world and cast. Choose an adventure rather than completing every number; within the modern VII project, Remake comes before Rebirth.

The FFVII and Film groups contain different relationships, not two extra continuous sagas in which every title must follow the previous one.

Overview & recommendation

A new number can mean a new beginning rather than the next day in one hero's life. That is why the first published Final Fantasy is a historical starting point, not a universal prerequisite before meeting Cloud or another later cast.

VII has grown into a smaller family of connected projects and revisited versions. Its original game, modern reimagining, side stories and film need individual context rather than one indiscriminate publication checklist.

Choose a numbered adventure for its own story. For the modern VII route, play Remake before Rebirth; choose a version of Crisis Core rather than treating Reunion as its next sequel. Connected films can then be considered by their particular game relationship. For the VII family, leave companions such as Crisis Core and Advent Children until after the original Final Fantasy VII if you want to preserve its revelations.

Independent numbered worlds and connected project families Local story sequences inside an RPG anthology

Mainline groups numbered releases without declaring one shared universe. FFVII Projects gathers a specific game's wider family; Films includes both connected and standalone works, not one common movie continuity.

  • Mainline Games (18 entries)

    The numbered Final Fantasy releases, mostly independent worlds and casts rather than one required sequential narrative.

  • FFVII Projects (10 entries)

    The original VII's connected projects and modern reimagining. Remake precedes Rebirth, while revisited editions such as Crisis Core Reunion require version context.

  • Films (3 entries)

    Final Fantasy films with different relationships: some connect to particular games, others stand alone. This format group is not a common film universe.

The original VII is its own starting experience. Remake begins a modern reimagining that Rebirth continues, rather than requiring every other numbered game first.
