10 Final Fantasy: All the Bravest

Square Enix has taken a fresh approach to this mobile game. Final Fantasy games of the past limited a party to four or five characters. All the Bravest, on the other hand, allows a party to have up to a whopping 40 characters. That’s more than any other RPG. Although this game was produced in 2013, it features 16-bit graphics just like the primary Final Fantasy games of the past. Unfortunately, this game didn’t resonate with fans due to the lack of depth.
