Final Fantasy has had more than it's fair share of spin-offs. We've had action games with broody gunslinging vampires (is there any other type these days?), giant grudge match beat-em-ups – hell, even the Chocobos have gotten in on the act, and they're not even fully sentient.

Each game in the series is fit to bursting with intruiging characters: people, monsters, and some that are a cross of both. And after nearly 25 years of titles, more than a few of those have made a warm space for themselves in gamers' collective psyche.
