Final Fantasy franchise



Japanese gaming culture seems to love androgynous teens, with exotic colored straight long hair, like in the Final Fantasy games. The RPG franchise, created by Hironobu Sakaguchi, is already a quarter of a century old and has spawned movies and several follow-up games, usually with different storylines and characters. The newest of these games are 'Final Fantasy XIII-2' and 'Final Fantasy Type-0'. The games are now created by Square Enix which has also released versions for mobile gaming...'Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions' can be played on the iPad and iPhone.



While the Final Fantasy games feature battles, their focus is more on strategy than brute force and an endless supply of ammo, weapons, and lives, which are seen in western games. Proficiency in combat depends on proper gear, stats, preset paradigms for each character, and the ability to recruit certain creatures. 'Final Fantasy XIII-2' is an exception in the franchise because it is a continuation of the story and characters from 'Final Fantasy XIII'.
