The otherFinal Fantasygame currently missing from the PS5 does stand a chance of being added to the lineup, though.Final Fantasy 13is perhaps the most divisive main series game in the entire franchise, but it would still be nice to have it available to play on newer platforms.Final Fantasy 13can be played on Xbox thanks to the backward compatibility program, but it’s currently unavailable on PS5.PS Plus Premium features a wide range of PS3 gamesfor users to stream, though, and that could be the ticket to bringingFinal Fantasy 13to PS5 one day.
Even withoutFinal Fantasy 11orFinal Fantasy 13, fans of the franchise could keep busy for months playing through the main seriesFFgames that are available on Sony’s newest console. And this isn’t even counting the various spin-offs and remakes, like theacclaimedFinal Fantasy 7 Remake. Needless to say, the PS5 should be one of the best investments aFinal Fantasyfan can make.
