I might have made some mistakes with the split up to unique/known content as I did not play all Final Fantasys. If so feel free to move them through editing.

<p>I have played several of the Final Fantasy games and know that many of them have manga counterparts.</p>

<p>Having finished the games, I wouldn't overly want to read a retelling of the story I spent hours grinding through. However, If they are spin off stories I would be interested in reading them as I enjoy the interesting characters and fantasy world.</p>

<p>Do the manga series retell the games' stories or do they have alternate content in them?</p>

Can you provide some series as examples? Not all series are created equal.

Are the final fantasy mangas spinoffs or retellings?
