Final Fantasy: 10 Best Plot Twists That Saved the Series (And 10 That Ruined It)

There is perhaps no game more associated with plot twists than Final Fantasy. Since the release of the franchise’s first installment in 1987, Final Fantasy has rolled out one surprise reveal after another, sometimes having even multiple within a single storyline. This has led to a sizable divide between supporters and critics of the franchise, who’ve spent years debating which twists work and which thoroughly undermine the narrative that built up to it.
