Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles series.
FFCC on the Cube is awesome fourplayer, soso with two or three, and ok with one.
FFCC Rings of Fate on the DS is a great action heavy dungeon crawl for 1-4 player.
FFCC Echoes of Time on the DS and Wii is everything that Rings did, but better. AND it has cross platform play - though Ive not gotten far enough in the Wii title to see if it has the slowdown the DS version has in some of the multiplayer boss fights.
FFCC Crystal Bearers - aka Final Fantasy Monster Hunter - havent played.

Amazon. They were all under 5 bucks. Three I may need to get some rubbing alcohol to fix up because it's not working at all.

Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, Tactics

How could I forget about Ehrgeiz!
But Ehrgeiz is just an arcade fighter that Square dropped Tifa and Cloud into for S&G to sell more copies. Its not really a spin off.

Well, Tifa, Cloud, Sephiroth, Vincent, Yuffie, and Zack. And then there's Django's alternate costume, which makes him look like Red XIII...

for the intent of this thread, it's worth mentioning. I started the thread just sort of get people talking about maybe lesser known or overlooked FINAL FANTASY-RELATED games. That's all.

I tend to think that it's a matter of taste.
I think it was mathematically proven that FFTA < FFT. If I get bored I'll try and dig up the proof again.
...still waiting.

Who cares if it was ridiculously easy and had a (nonexistant) story? The music was awesome and it was one of my first RPGs! :mrgreen:
I loved Mystic Quest as a kid :D
