A series of articles from the 00s discussing each game in the Final Fantasy series in excruciating detail. I’ve never made it past the very beginning of any of these games (and there's only a few I've even touched), yet I find this series of articles fascinating and have read through the whole thing multiple times. Could not tell you why for the life of me. I think I just enjoy the writing style. Also I guess I'm a video game maker person so I like reading about video game design. ANYWAY worth a read.

Check out their essays on the Mother series as well, which are also great.
