Pretty much any game in which you planet hop? Ratchet and Clank, KOTOR?
- Yoshi’s Island, in that one boss.
- Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, although given how prominent Peach’s story is, there’s arguably too much space for it to count.
- The Longest Journey
Spoilers for a Wii JRPG recently ported to Switch, Xenoblade Chronicles
The FF7 Remake.
Aether
Frog Fractions
Getting Over It
From what I remember, Chuck Yeager’s Advanced Flight Trainer let you get into space a bit if you just flew up as high as you could. This was a neat thing to find as a kid.
baba is you
regular ff7 does too
digital devil saga 2
Secret of Evermore
Maybe some of the Mechwarrior games.
Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest
I should clarify - I mean “go to space” not in the sense of space-as-travel but a portion of the game set in space.
Sonic Forces lol
no-one lives forever has a space station segment
there’s also a space level in tiny toons buster busts loose but i think it’s actually meant to be an elaborate movie set recreation of outer space instead of the real thing…?
pokemon snap
edit: killer is dead is another in the “visiting the moon” category
pokemon snap
ooh this is a good one, blew my mind
all the mareo karts
Star Ocean… all 5.
R-TYPE Final… yeah, that’s kinda on the border, but you start out on earth and you only get to space after stage 3.
In spectacular fashion, Einhander.
Katamari does that also remarkably well.
… uh, Trosh the Game
Gundasty Warriors… kinda cheating again, stop!
originally i had just typed GOI with jokey spoilers and then i thought of the others so that made it a bit awkward. but i think most people who’ve heard of FF at this point know it’s a “more than meets the eye” deal and i remember that being one of the first things that happens, so…
Super Monkey Ball 2
Stilt Fella
