Ranking the Best Mini-Fantasies within the Final Fantasy Universe
As most fans are aware, Final Fantasy XVI will not feature any minigames, which is quite disappointing. Therefore, we believe it’s time to pay tribute to the remarkable minigames that have made appearances throughout the franchise’s history. Perhaps we can even hope for Square Enix to bring them all to Final Fantasy XIV. Let’s take a look at the most memorable ones.
10. Fort Condor (FFVII Remake)
Despite the story changes in the Remake, Fort Condor was a commendable addition. The original version was lackluster, but the revamped version in the Remake far exceeded expectations. It improved in every way and showcased the tower defense genre’s potential.
9. Chocobo Hot and Cold (Final Fantasy IX)
Chocobos and treasure hunting – what’s not to love? Chocobo Hot and Cold allowed players to engage in a classic game of hot and cold while searching for hidden treasures. It provides entertainment without feeling like a tedious task.
8. Gunner’s Gauntlet (FFX-2)
In the otherwise divisive Final Fantasy X-2, Gunner’s Gauntlet surprises players with its shoot ’em up minigame. It deviates from the typical Final Fantasy combat style by incorporating an active time battle system, reminiscent of games like Devil May Cry. This unexpected twist adds to the fun factor.
7. G-Bike (Final Fantasy VII)
G-Bike offers a unique experience by replacing the classic Chocobo race with an adrenaline-pumping bike chase. Players navigate through enemies while wielding a sword, making it an exciting action-packed minigame. Its popularity even led to a standalone G-Bike title for Android.
6. Chocobo Breeding (Final Fantasy VII)
Final Fantasy VII presents players with a breeding farm that allows them to create the ultimate chocobo companion. While it may seem like a chore at first, the satisfaction of riding a chocobo capable of traversing any terrain is well worth the effort. The breeding mechanics rival those found in Pokémon games.
5. Chocobo Race with Birds (Final Fantasy X)
Riding a Chocobo through a field, dodging birds, and catching balloons might sound ridiculous, but it adds an unexpected level of excitement. Players who initially struggle with the challenge will feel like champions when they attain a perfect time, making it a thrilling and rewarding experience.
4. Just Fishing (Final Fantasy XV)
Fishing, known as the world’s oldest pastime, makes a surprisingly enjoyable appearance in Final Fantasy XV. Despite the simplicity of the activity, it manages to captivate players. The structure of the game, with its road trip theme, creates a perfect backdrop for this leisurely minigame.
3. Blitzball (Final Fantasy X)
Blitzball is more than just a minigame; it’s an integral part of Final Fantasy X. The mandatory match serves as a catalyst for the story’s progression. Although it divides fan opinions, those who delve into it will discover a well-crafted and engaging experience. The inclusion of a league and its connection to the game’s plot make it all the more worthwhile.
2. Chocobo Racing (Final Fantasy XIV)
Chocobo Racing in Final Fantasy XIV offers exhilarating racing gameplay. Players can breed, train, and race their chocobos in a competitive setting. It provides a thrilling and immersive experience that stands out among the minigames in the series.
