16 Hilarious 'Final Fantasy' memes that prove the series defies logic

Final Fantasy is an action-packed RPG game that provides users with edge-of-the-seat, box office entertainment. It is not your usual run-of-the-mill video game; the franchise has been churning out new installments of the game since 1987. Don't go by the name of the franchise, which is quite hilariously a misnomer.

Flush with breathtaking imagery, convoluted storylines, and questionable fashion choices of the characters, Final Fantasy has been immortalized through its mummification. These memes prove that sometimes the best part of the game isn't playing; it is laughing about it.

But seriously, about the plot. People are frantically left searching for answers and have to scour the face of the earth to keep up with what's actually happening in the game. Time travel, mysterious characters with a shady past, alternate realities....it's enough to make your head spin and leave you searching for aspirin.

For instance, the plot for Final Fantasy VIII goes something like this: "Okay, so there's this school... that's actually a mercenary base... and there's a time witch... and maybe everybody's in a coma?" Yeah, makes sense. But inspite of the pretzel-shaped plot, Final Fantasy memes are still a hit amongst the fanbase due to their relatability.

Final Fantasy memes give fans an outlet to air out collective frustrations and grievances and celebrate the world of crystals, summons, and spiky hairs together. So, without further ado, let's have a look at some of the most hilarious memes based on Final Fantasy.

Final Fantasy is a masterwork in giving users the impression that they have ample time, that they have the luxury of making a choice, when they seldom do in reality. The creators directly laugh in the faces of users before pulling the rug from right underneath them, as if they are saying, "We were just kidding, LOL."

Staring blankly at the screen, with palms all sweaty, and contemplating the in-game decisions that led you to this point, it's all part of the delightful experience that is Final Fantasy. We've all been down that road, haven't we?

Yet we still come back again and again. Have you ever wondered why? In spite of all the twisted plots and ridiculous character designs that leave us confused, why do we keep coming? The answer lies in Final Fantasy's game design. It is proof that even confusion can be an art form- just mix crystals, amnesia, and a villain who probably has great hair. It's all part of the charm offensive.
