Square Enix Video Games Bucket List

Square's first MMO, from 2002, where a party needed a healer before it could leave town; the servers are still up.

Build your own party, then learn which world you have been walking around; the ending that ties the trilogy up.

Peru, an eclipse and an apocalypse Lara starts herself.

Three generations, a marriage you choose and monsters you recruit; the fans' favourite.

Cecil turns from dark knight to paladin; the first Final Fantasy with a real story.

The first fully 3D Dragon Quest, with Akira Toriyama's world in cel shading.

The MMORPG rebuilt from a failure; A Realm Reborn to Dawntrail with the best story in the series.

The Luminary and a classic turn-based quest; the most traditional great JRPG of its decade.

Tidus, Yuna and the pilgrimage across Spira; the first voiced Final Fantasy.

Fourteen playable characters, an opera and a villain who wins halfway; the SNES peak of the series.

A thief, a princess and a return to the series' fairy-tale roots; the fans' favourite.

Solis, where a tornado crosses the map and lifts whatever Rico has not already blown up.

Medici, an unlimited supply of grappling tethers and a wingsuit you are not obliged to land.

Roxas for the first hours, then Sora with drive forms; the combat that made the series worth defending.

A war of succession in Ivalice fought on isometric grids, with job classes and a script about class.

Square and Nintendo together in 1996, with Geno and a timed-hit system.

Prague under mechanical apartheid; the best level design in the series.

Siberia, the Divine Source and the best tombs in the reboot trilogy.

A brother, a sister and a talking book; the game Automata is a sequel to.

A prince, three friends and a road trip in a black car; ten years in development.

The job system at its most flexible, and a tree that talks.

Squall, junctioning and a card game better than the combat.

Ivalice, the gambit system and a political plot; Matsuno's last Final Fantasy.

Midgar expanded to a full game with real-time combat; the first part of the retelling.

Eight travellers in HD-2D pixel art; Square's retro look.

Clive Rosfield and Eikon battles in a Game of Thrones Valisthea; the action Final Fantasy.

Out of Midgar into the world map, Gold Saucer and the scene everyone knows.

Lara Croft's origin on the island of Yamatai; the survival reboot.

A love letter to the classic Final Fantasy with a brave/default combat twist.

Adam Jensen never asked for this; cyberpunk Detroit in gold.
