5 Final Fantasy Characters Who Really Deserved Their Own Spin-Off Game

The Top Five

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.

Here's a look at five individuals who'd have no problem carrying a game as the hero, even though let's be honest, all we really need is a protagonist who's prone to neither whining or oversleeping, like so many of those damn J-RPG kids these days.
