Let's Play Every Final Fantasy Game In Order Of Release [Now Finished: Final Fantasy Tactics]

If you are going to do XIV, it should be the last game covered in the thread, after everything else is done. Doesn't matter much if it takes over if nothing's waiting in the wings.

If you aren't going to do it (which is understandable, covering a MMORPG in any kind of comprehensive manner is a major undertaking all on its own), you should replace it with some other spinoff FF title of some relevance, as you did with Tactics. Like Dirge of Cerberus!
I recommend covering XIII-2 and XIII-3 instead, myself.
 
One thing I do like about Ivalice as a setting once you get into the spinoffs - and I'm glad FF14 stole it to varying degrees - is the weird flavor of the nonhuman races.
"We stole pig orcs from Dragon Quest, fight us about it"
It's not stealing if your company also own Dragon Quest :thonk:.

I would agree if only some of those PC ports weren't ass. Like XIII-2, on a pure technical basis, is comparable to Dark Souls: Prepare to Die, and fan support is not on that level. Original XIII and XIII-3 are at least playable, but they're not exactly a good experience on PC. It's probably better to go in the weeds of PS3 emulation than playing the PC versions. Or wait for the rumored remaster, by then maybe it could be out.
Or play some other spinoff, like Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin! It has Final Fantasy in the title, it counts!

Strangers of Paradise was "what if we made 8-bit theater canon" and I will forever love it for that
 
I do want to play Strangers of Paradise at some point, though just as like, a thing for myself. I'm not planning on LPing it. I just can't find the time 😔
 
well, i've said i wouldn't do 11 but that i would like to do 14, it's just that this latter bit got everyone to tell me that i'm crazy and this would kill me and also the let's play and i needed to stop having such crazy thoughts
I think I speak for us all in saying that I have no objections to you doing XIV. So long as it's delayed until after you play XV and XVI, and that you take breaks to play XVII, XVIII, and XIX as they come out.

Also, you've infected me; I am semi-seriously considering a Bravely Default Let's Play. Pray that I recover from this bout of madness.
