*''Dissidia Final Fantasy'' and its sequels, ''Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy'' and ''Dissidia Final Fantasy NT''. The first two are PlayStation Portable titles designed around a combat system resembling a hybridized blend of the three-dimensional fighting and action-RPG genres, while the third game is oriented more to the fighting aspects rather than the RPG aspects. These games are crossovers of the various disparate continuities of the franchise, and make at least one hero and one villain from each of the main-numbered ''Final Fantasy'' continuities playable characters. | *''Dissidia Final Fantasy'' and its sequels, ''Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy'' and ''Dissidia Final Fantasy NT''.

*''Theatrhythm Final Fantasy'', its update, ''Curtain Call'', and its sequels ''All-Star Carnival'' and ''Final Bar Line'' are rhythm titles on the 3DS, Arcade, Nintendo Switch, and Playstation 4 that similarly cross over the many universes of ''Final Fantasy'', compiling music - both faithfully preserved and remixed - from almost every ''Final Fantasy'' title and spinoff. The subseries, through DLC, also features various songs from singles derived from the games, remixes from arrangement and compilation albums, and songs from other ''Square Enix'' titles, including arrangements from the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. A ''Dragon Quest'' variant was also released separately on the 3DS, exclusively in Japan. | *''Theatrhythm Final Fantasy'', its update, ''Curtain Call'', and its sequels ''All-Star Carnival'' and ''Final Bar Line'' are rhythm titles on the 3DS, Arcade, Nintendo Switch, and Playstation 4 that similarly cross over the many universes of ''Final Fantasy'', compiling music - both faithfully preserved and remixed - from almost every ''Final Fantasy'' title and spinoff.

*Among the many recurrent monster designs trademarked to the series is the Chocobo, a large, ratite-like bird that is often used as a mount in various ''Final Fantasy'' continuities. Square Enix uses it as a mascot for ''Final Fantasy'' as a whole, and has released a variety of more child-oriented ''Chocobo'' media based on it. There have been ''Chocobo''-themed entries of Chunsoft's ''Mystery Dungeon'' series of rogue-like games, and similar games were later made for {{uv|Pokémon}}. | *Among the many recurrent monster designs trademarked to the series is the Chocobo, a large, ratite-like bird that is often used as a mount in various ''Final Fantasy'' continuities.

*{{uv|Kingdom Hearts}} is an action RPG series that was conceived as an unorthodox crossover between the general mechanics of ''Final Fantasy'' and the many universes of [[Disney]] films, with several ''Final Fantasy'' characters appearing as guests and cameos. The crossover was originally pitched when producer Shinji Hashimoto found himself in a chance meeting with a Disney executive in an elevator, as the two companies operated in the same building in Japan at the time. Under the direction of {{iw|wikipedia|Tetsuya Nomura}} with music composed by {{iw|wikipedia|Yoko Shimomura}}, the ongoing series has become one of the most storied and complex video game intellectual properties in Square Enix's catalogue, featuring various Disney universes including, but not limited to, ''Aladdin'', ''The Little Mermaid'', ''Pirates of the Caribbean'', and ''Big Hero 6''. The latest game in the franchise, ''Kingdom Hearts III'', concludes what has been referred to as the "Dark Seeker Saga" which has been building up since the first game in 2002. | *{{uv|Kingdom Hearts}} is an action RPG series that was conceived as an unorthodox crossover between the general mechanics of ''Final Fantasy'' and the many universes of [[Disney]] films, with several ''Final Fantasy'' characters appearing as guests and cameos.
