wait, isn't ff14 medieval fantasy like the old ones?
Umm... didn't FF IV have a giant mechanical robot whose mechanical innards you climbed through as a dungeon, and the game involved having a spaceship to take you to the high-tech ruins of an ancient technologically advanced society?
And it's not like Final Fantasy has ever stopped throttling back and forth between magipunk dystopian technology and hippy tree-huggers, either. FF X was pretty much explicitly about that stuff...
Ancient defunct civilizations /w advanced technology go hand in hand with adventure fantasy. Even the first game had a time-traveling robot.
And a space station, er, I mean, city in the sky.
There was space left over, so I threw Kain in. (lol)I just finished this. It's Barbariccia of the Wind from FF4.
I wonder if FF will return to being fantasy anytime soon...
