Get your save crystals ready, potions stocked up to 99 and several saves before entering and after as we delve deep into these 15 of the worst dungeons in the Final Fantasy Franchise.įinal Fantasy X is praised by many as the best in the series, while others wince at its mention, with memories of the “laughing scene.” Combining with its new levelling system of the Sphere Grid, FFX included more “puzzles” and “trials” in the form of Cloister of Trials, a set of rooms that challenge the party through battles and puzzles/riddles.

Whether you are a fan or not, there will be at least one dungeon on this list you recognise and have that feeling of worry if you had saved before entering. Earlier entries into the franchise had hidden walls that were otherwise impossible to notice, against newer releases where “hidden” just means there is a crack in the wall or an orb to touch. From the hallways and backtracking of 13, labyrinthine floors and doors from 1-3 and difficult hunts and bosses guarding them all.Īs the years have passed, the difficulty curve has never stayed the same, from starting dungeons being what players stop playing over due to the amount of deaths or complexity of their design. With 15 main numbered releases, several sequels and spin-offs including side franchises that share the name, there are bound to be a couple horribly designed dungeons here and there. Final Fantasy has been around for 30 years now, dominating the JRPG market with compelling stories, engaging gameplay and pushing the boundaries of the systems they released on.
