9. Final Fantasy Type-0
If nothing else, Final Fantasy Type-0 delivers variety. The action-RPG spin-off includes 14 playable characters, each of whom has a different playstyle that keeps things fresh through the game’s runtime. King is a gunslinger with dual pistols, Jack strikes foes down with a Katana, and Deuce plays a magical flute. And that’s only three of the members of Class Zero.
While Type-0 requires you to play as certain characters at different times, each party member gives you a memorable moment with each, though some stand out more than others. All of it culminates in what was genuinely one of the most effective final scenes in a Final Fantasy game, for me. The 2011 PSP action-RPG and its subsequent 2015 HD remaster may not have the staying power of some of the other games we’re discussing today, but it definitely had some cool ideas. — Kenneth Shepard
