Final Fantasy Tactics will always be my favorite Final Fantasy beside FF6. The story really was so much better compared to many of the numbered FF games IMO. I'm still waiting on the day you guys would do an origins video on Ramza Beoulve.

This franchise changed my life

I'm not afraid to admit; X made me cry as a teenager and Crisis Core made me cry as an adult.

Am I the only person who really loved Dirge of Cerberus?

Vagrant Story should be on here. It is in Valendia as was in FFXII. It also was part of the Ivalice Alliance. It is actually what happens after FFXII and FFTactics.

I’ve played 4 of the 7 spin-offs on this list. Type-0, Dissidia 012, World of Final Fantasy, and Theatrhythm. While the main series games mostly (FF3, FF7, FF15 and especially FFX/X-2), the spin-offs are great too. From those spin-offs, Dissidia 012 is my favorite and is currently the game I’ve spent the most time with more than 450 hours

I definitely want a sequel for WoFF! That game was freaking adorable xD!

The Tactics series (Especially FFTA) are what got me into strategy RPGs. I would have never tried that genre of games if FF didn't make one themselves. I also love the FFTA art style and OST. :)

The wait for FFXV was so long, you got mixed up between E3 2006 and 2016 haha. Great video, as always.

Crisis Core isn't really a spin off its canon and it's a prequel.

Crisis Core and Dissidia Duodecim are two of my favorite Final Fantasy games and helped open up the vast world of FF and its many worlds and adventures for me. For that, I will always love both of those titles. I still hope that Square decides to remaster Crisis Core for PS4, or PS5, whichever will be next. I know it's doubtful in the near future, with the delays to the VII remake, but I can dream, right? XD Although, no, I still will not be able to handle Zack Fair's death. Poor Zack. :(

I'm probably the only one who likes Crystal Bearers, I know the combat is kinda weardo, but I love it anyway, and layle is a cool protagonist with damn cool powers

9:33 I crumbled in my seat as you said that.

Crystal Chronicles is by far the most underrated and slept on title of the whole series. I highly recommend taking a trip to a flea market to pick up some GBAs and cables and play it with some friends. Hopefully the Switch will bring a reboot or sequel as I hoped the 3DS or WiiU would.

Chocobo's Dungeon 2 is a masterwork and Chocobo's Racing should also come back

It’s SO nice to see that people still know about the Crystal Chronicles series!

Still loving the content Fam~ I've been with you guys for 4 months everything you two release feels very high caliber its always a pleasure to see a new video pop up in my feed.

I think you mean to say that FFXIII, Versus XIII and Agito XIII were announced in 2006, not 2016.

For shame...I know you already had *Crystal Chronicles* on the list, but the spin-off of the spin-off, *CC:Crystal Bearers* on the Wii _really_ deserved that spot! It's truly one of the best in terms of innovation, voice work, and especially it's eclectic soundtrack imo. Great list though!

"small game called Chrono Trigger" I laugh out loud.

Crisis Core should not be on this list. You said you were excluding sequel so prequel should fall into same category.

This was a great list. I had actually forgotten about that rhythm game. My personal favorite spin offs were Crystal Chronicles, Final Fantasy Tactics, Crisis Core, And Dissidia 012. :) Btw, kinda unrelated question but have you guys ever reviewed or discussed that original Final Fantasy movie: The Spirits Within? I'm always curious to hear people's opinions on that strange film. Not sure it could even be considered a spin off experience itself because of how little connection it seems to have with Final Fantasy tropes.

Looks like Tabata is that kind of director that loves to break the hearts of his audience... and I love it!

No love for Tactics Advance? Probably the biggest change to the job system it brought was allowing the fans to legitimately play as an Assassin (the original FFT required some clever hacking via GameShark, and even then, only Celia was safe to use as Lede would crash the game). Hopefully that World of Final Fantasy mobile game will be friendly for free players and not more pay to possibly win garbage (assuming that they run the freemium model)... Also, I guess it's been said already, but War of the Lions did get ported to Android & iOS (and you'd better have LOTS of free space, this easily eats a couple gigabytes just like FF7&9).

Of the games on the list, I have played Crisis Core, Type-0 HD, Dissidia 012 duodecim, and Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call

You missed FF Dimensions. It's by far one of the best games Square's made since the classic FF days that every single person reading this comment has been wanting and craving since FFX. It's a deep, 60+ hour epic classic ATB job system that has many more hours of post game content that challenges your party building skills for unlockable ultimate gear. Not enough people know about it, and the few that do automatically think the wrong things when they see it. They're missing out on a game that will hook them for years and years, I my self replay it at least twice a year and have every year for the past 4 years since I tried it. Stop reading this and go play it, right now.

Final Fantasy Tactics is easily in my top 5 favorite games ever, possibly #1.

type-0 was my first FF game and boy did i get hooked. Still in my top 3

Despite being a longtime fan, I haven't played half of these games. Great list!

Tactics was an amazing game. Its one of my favorite games of all time. I really hope at some point that they make another game like it (that isn't the advance games).

I'm sad no one talks about Final fantasy explorers, I really enjoyed that spin-off. Was hoping for a sequel on switch with more classes, more eidolons and more locations. Would've been awersome!

Crisis Core is a canon prequel, whether the fans like it or not. It's not a spin-off.. Dissidia 012 didn't bring more characters for 1, 2, 3, 6, or 9.. which would have been awesome..

Funny story - my first "Final Fantasy" game was actually "The Legend of Final Fantasy III" in 1993 on the OG Game Boy which was actually part of Square's SaGa series before its name change when ported to the west to capitalize on the popularity of the Final Fantasy name here. So not really a spin off, per se, but interesting factoid how games ended up with the FF name back in the day. It was also the first time I really got to the end of an JRPG on my own 25 years ago so it holds a special place in my heart.

Great video that was really on point! Crisis Core is one of my all-time favorite RPGs and Theatrhythm is easily my favorite rhythm game. I like all the others, too, with the sole exception of Type-0, which is one of the only FF games I actually dislike. It includes a lot of my pet peeves I have in RPGs, unfortunately. I personally would have replaced it with something like 4 Heroes of Light or Mobius FF, but that's just me.

Final Fantasy Tactics was a great choice for this list, my 2nd favorite Final Fantasy Title. Great video Darryl.

Yoo keep going for 100.000 subscriber

Great list!!! Playing Crisis Core for the first time! It is SO FREAKING GOOD!

For me Dissidia on psp and Crisis Core are the best spin offs ever

the only one that I didn't play in this list is Crystal Chronicles, FFVII Crisis Core ending makes me melancholy for a while

I would put TheaterRythmn Curtian Call Final Fantasy#1 as the HeartNSoul of spin-off following FinalFantasy Tactics#2 for a Nostalgic Masterpiece. Rest you can put in any order after those 2 AwesomSauce game's.

“bravely default will not be included” GOD DANGIT

I hope they do a Theatrhythm Final Fantasy for Switch including music from Final Fantasies since The 3DS Two (I.E: 15, World Of, Mobius, etc) as well as expanding on the Games featured in Certain Call as well (I'd like to see them add God In Fire to Dissidia 012 Song Selection. Worlds Collide, Limit Break & Dash to The 13-2 Song Selection. etc).

About Tactics, you forgot there is Android and iOS version now avaiable, with updates graphics. And it is very same version as on PSP.

I didn't know Tactics War of the Lions was a re-release of the original FF Tactics! The original on PSone didn't actually get released in the UK back in the day, so I had to play a not-so-legitimate import copy. Tactics Advanced on the GBA was the next best thing.

Hello, sir. One correction: the definitive version of FFT is the mobile version. It is the *only* iOS game that has done touchscreens right and it features crisper graphics than the PSP version. Trust me, don’t play any other mobile ports, but play this one. On a more humorous note, I’m sad that Mystic Quest didn’t make the cut. Yes, it’s not particularly good, but oh so many memories and one of the few FF games that made getting new equipment and spells feel meaningful.

Final Fantasy Tactics was an awesome game. I do agree it does deserve the top of the list as best. It's also why I got a psp to begin with.

saddest endings being X then Crisis Core LMAO painfully accurate

Really liked Dissidia and Crisis Core (canon prequel by the way) haven't finished Type-0 though but liked it also

Nice pun lol and just a great video keep it up guys!!

I would love to see oyu do a vid on Dark Knights. :)

I haven't played FFT or FFTA but I happened to find random copy of FFTA2 and it's both one of my favourite handheld titles and favourite Final Fantasies. I admit that the story is nothing special, but the combat, RPG elements like job system, amount of content and world building are surprisingly good. The job system especially is imo one of, if not THE best in the series. If you are more of a game mechanics than story person and happen to own DS, it's definitely worth trying

Tactics is easily the best FF spinoff ever..

there was one on the ds that I really liked

This reminds me that I still need to finish Parasite Eve 2 and The third birthday.

When I was 13 I balled my eyes out when I finished crisis core.

Does anyone want a Warriors spin-off of Final Fantasy

That pun is painful bro

I absolutely love Curtain Call.

cc got me into ff. man, that was a masterpiece, the ending got me cryin like bish :P

Final Fantasy record keeper is nostalgia. Ive played it everyday for years.

My fav from this list that i have played and urge everyone else to find a way to play are world of final fantesy and final fantesy tactics. I have wanted to play crystal chronicles but i really want it to have internet Co Op.

Crisis Core and Type-0 r my favs

Crisis Core is a prequel to FFVII, it is not a spin off, anyway nice pun yo :D

We need more FFCC games

Wasn't Prische in regular Dissidia along with Shantotto?

You can also download tactics on the vita

I miss the psp so much. I own one but I have a ton of ff on my vita now. Literally all from 1 to 10. Only one I dont have on my vita is 9

Crisis core is a prequel game and I’m kinda sad that my favorite ff never made the list ff dirge of Cerberus ik it’s a sequel to ff 7 but u put a crisis core on this list

FFT is the greatest FF spin-off of all time!!!!

what about Vagrant Story? if i'm not mistaken it takes place in the same world as FF XII

Chocobo's Dungeon dserved to be here too! So cute and fun and what are "Kweh!" yellow birds deserve!

Crystal Chronicles is some really nostalgic shit for me. We need another one for the Switch.

Fina Fantasy Tactics is the game of my life. No words describe how much I care qbout this game.

Where is FF Record Keeper!?

God, how I love Final Fantasy Tactics.

The Ipad version of Tactics is decent as well!

Kingdom Hearts anyone? Are the SaGa & Mana games or Vagrant Story also spinoffs? Idk until when is it still a spinoff? I highly recommend Crisis Core and World of Final Fantasy.

I feel justified in my preference of the spin offs

At about 6:30, you say Versus 13 was shown at e3 2016, but thats absurd, FF15 was already out by then.

I also liked Chocobo's Dungeon

world of final fantasy is HELLA UNDERRATED

I never actually beat Crystal Chronicles. Time to go back and try again

So is her name officially been changed to aerith? And not her original name in the international name aeris?

I wish there was a roguelike Final Fantasy with Gilgamesh as the main character.

you forgot about final fantasy record keeper

Dirge of Cerberus is technically a sequel( which I wish I was better at, but I play rpgs cuz I suck at shooters). I played Crystal Chronicles a bit as a kid didn't like it that much. I'm honestly not a big fan of games that "require" you to have other people to do things. I will say that Crystal bearers is fun, and enjoyable although because it's a Wii game it's a bit janky on the controls. I beat world of final fantasy, and while I enjoyed it the game levels were bland, and I was not a big fan of the stacking system. When I played final fantasy tactics for the first time I absolutely hated how hard it was. It just seemed like enemies always slaughtered you, but I grew to appreciate the strategy. Tactics advance while I love the game honestly took the difficulty away. Crisis Core( a prequel) is amazing I'm at the end of the game haven't played it awhile cuz I was grinding/doing side stuff.

Missed Final Fantasy Brave Exvius

I loved crisis core so much

what about Dirge of Cerberus? LOL!

As much as I wanted to I couldn’t care about any of the characters in type-0 or the story, the only fun thing in that game for me was the combat.

I always thought they intended this to be pronounced theatre rhythm because yano... its a rhythm game and its set as a theatre show...

That pun...

Tactics GOAT

Stsrts at 2:21

i have played all of these somehow

Megami Tensei spin offs vs final fantasy spin offs?

That pun tho.. XD

Brave exvius is fun

I love FFTactics and Dissidia 012, they are my favorite spin offs, and my favorite FFs along with FF7. Surprisingly as much as I love 7, I hated Crisis Core, or better said, I got totally bored with it.

You forgot Mystic Quest.
