    You know what? I thought about this for a few seconds, and then I settled on my answer, and I realized it's not even close.

    The answer is...XIV. I mean, ARR in and of itself has excellent lore, but combining that with the backstory of 1.0 and Bahamut nigh-destroying the world...that game got world-building right.

    I'm discussing my 108, er, 111 favorite games of all time in THIS THREAD so go check it out and join the conversation!

    I don't know if I can choose. XIV is definitely up there. Thanks to the nature of MMOs the lore is consistently growing and we learn more with each new patch or expansion.

    I've often imagined that IX has a very enriched lore just on the basis that the big cities such as Alexandria and Lindblum have libraries.

    Any game set in Ivalice.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    Definitely XII (or Ivalice in general if you will). It is the most fully realized world in a FF game with a varied and rich culture that is reflected in every detail of it's people and locations. The way things work in the game also actually make sense and seem plausible (placement of cities and other locations, politics, commerce, travel, etc). It is also a world where the story of the game takes place in as opposed to it being built for the story as it seems with most FF games.
