Look up any list of the best 16 bit RPGs and there are two games that are likely to be on the list: Final Fantasy 6 and Chrono Trigger. But which one of these classics is better?

Geekery in General 210: Final Fantasy Timeline Theory

Final Fantasy Record Keeper is a mobile game that brings together characters, equipment, and events from many of the titles in this long running video game series. This leads to a couple of interesting questions: what if all the Final Fantasy games did in fact take place on the same world and in the same continuity? What chronological order would make the most sense? Al and son attempt to answer these questions as we discuss how we think the Final Fantasy games presented in Record Keeper could take place on the same world (with Mystic Quest thrown in just because Al really likes that game and hopes it will be introduced to Record Keeper someday).
