Final Fantasy Dimensions Original Release: 2012 Year Played: 2013 Developer: Square Enix Platform: iPad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNMtizra_V8" data-time="&start=4 Here we have a milestone. Not only are we moving on to the next tier and the top 30, but FFD is also the last game here for the iPad (of only like two) and also the last game on the list from 2013. You may be wondering why something like this beats out games like GTA5 and Bioshock Infinite... Well, 2013 was a really, really dark time for me. I bought an iPad in late 2012 for school purposes as I got accepted into a full-time, strenuous education program in college starting January and taking up the entire year and then some. On top of that, I worked full-time at night so I really had no time to relax, sit down or do anything. I was also living alone. College this year was rough and I had to take life one day at a time. If I messed up, I was done with the program (which is now my full-time career) so whenever I wasn't in school or working, I was studying. Sleep was an afterthought. In fact, I put video games on the backburner and the only game I was sorta hyped for was GTA5...didn't care about anything else. But I had Final Fantasy DImensions on my iPad and whenever I would go out to a study session, I'd boot it up and play a little while taking breaks at some coffee shop or campus (I never studied at home, too distracting). My playtime sessions were extremely short usually in this case, but this was fine, because FFD was meant to be played in small spurts. It's a cheaply made 40-hour RPG with few assets and sometimes feels like a nostalgia cash grab, but it's a good one. Basically you're split into two groups--- light warriors and dark warriors, as you journey the world and gather allies and crystals to fight against the evil empire. Eventually the two groups converge and take on the main enemy. Nothing special, but I was surprised by the amount of plot twists in the final chapter. The game also features the typical FF class system but its iteration here is great, much better than something like, say, FF3. Your characters grow from weaklings to literal gods and THIS, ladies and gents, is what I love about Final Fantasy gameplay. We don't get this kind of stuff with Final Fantasy anymore...not since FFX or maybe XII, so it was nice to see it done again with Dimensions. So in other words, Final Fantasy Dimensions was a small little gem that helped ease my stress and hey, it could've possibly saved me from failing school. Or maybe not. Regardless, it meant a lot to me at the time. I was totally invested, enough that I spent the cash to play the full game (remember, this is Square Enix we're talking about, they over charge). It's really too bad that the sequel to this game feels more like a gatcha attempt than anything like the original, because they really had something good going here. It was fun, 2013.
