My Thoughts on World of Final Fantasy (Maxima)

While Final Fantasy IX was my first mainline FF game, I may or may not have played another game before it, which was a memorable part of my childhood: Chocobo Racing. I fell in love with the cute rendition of recurring characters such as Chocobo, Moogle and Bahamut, even though I wasn't familiar with the references to previous games, or the franchise's shared lore elements. Roughly 20 years later, I have several FF games under my belt, and World of Final Fantasy offered a chance to revisit the feelings Chocobo Racing evoked in me. A crossover game with a super adorable aesthetic? Sign me right up! To make it even sweeter, WoFF is the Pokemon game I didn't know I wanted so much.
