History of Final Fantasy

Piano Opera Final Fantasy I-III box set, containing piano arrangements from all three mainline Final Fantasy titles, was composed by Japanese musician and composer Nobuo Uematsu. It was originally released on December 22, 1994, by Tokyopop in Japan. The album was well-received by fans and critics, with many lauding its quality and production.

Origins

In the early 1980s, Japanese developer Squaresoft (now Square Enix) was founded by Hironobu Sakaguchi. The company’s debut game, The Final Fantasy Legend, was released for the Game Boy in Japan on December 18, 1987. It would go on to sell over a million copies worldwide.

In 1989, work began on the first mainline entry in the series, Final Fantasy VI. Though it was released in Japan in 1994, it would not come to North America until April 2, 1997—almost three years later. Meanwhile, spin-off titles such as Chocobo Mystery Dungeon and Brave Fencer Musashi were also released during this time period.

Despite the long gaps between releases, the Final Fantasy series had quickly built up a dedicated following worldwide. This allowed subsequent games to enjoy considerable success upon release; Final Fantasy VII went on to sell over 11 million copies globally, while its 2000 sequel sold over 8 million units worldwide.

FFVII’s popularity also led to an increasing demand for tie-in products. In 1997, an anime movie spin-off titled Advent Children was released, while a year later saw the launch of the Dirge of Cerberus subseries—a trilogy of games focusing on supporting character Vincent Valentine. 2006 onwards has seen a greater focus on mobile and social gaming spin-offs such as Final Fantasy: All The Bravest and Mobius Final Fantasy.

Development

In early 1987, the original team behind Final Fantasy left Square (then called Squaresoft) to form a new company called Quest. The first game in the series, Final Fantasy, was developed by this team and released in December of that year.

After the success of Final Fantasy, Square began work on a sequel. However, due to creative differences, the team working on the sequel left Square, and development was handed over to a new team. The result was Final Fantasy II, which was released in 1988.

Final Fantasy III was released in 1990, and is notable for being the first game in the series to feature Jobs. Jobs are special classes that characters can change into, each with their own unique abilities.

Final Fantasy IV was released in 1991 and is often considered to be one of the best games in the series. It introduces many of the franchise’s most iconic characters, including Cecil Harvey, Kain Highwind, Rydia, and Tellah.

Final Fantasy V was released in 1992 and introduces the Job system that would become a staple of the series. It also has a very strong focus on player choice and customization.

Final Fantasy VI was originally released in 1994 under the title “Final Fantasy III” in North America. It is widely considered to be one of the best games in the series, and introduces many memorable characters, including Terra Branford, Locke Cole, Celes Chere, and Setzer Gabbiani.

Release

The first game in the series, Final Fantasy I was released in Japan in 1987. It was later released in North America in 1990 and in Europe in 1991. The game was developed by Square Co., Ltd. (now Square Enix) and published by Nintendo.

The original game had a simple story: four youths chosen by the goddess Lakshmi to save the world from destruction by the evil forces of Chaos. Each youth has a different elemental power, and together they must retrieve four magical orbs to seal away Chaos. The game was revolutionary for its time, with graphics that were much better than anything else on the market, and a gameplay system that allowed players to use different strategies to defeat enemies.

Since its release, Final Fantasy I has been re-released many times, on different platforms and with different enhancements. In 1994, a “remake” was released for the SNES, which updated the graphics and added some new gameplay features. This version of the game was later released for the PlayStation in 1999, and again for the Game Boy Advance in 2002. In 2006, another remake was released for the Nintendo DS, which featured updated graphics and an alternate ending. The most recent release of the game is the “Anniversary Edition” for iOS and Android devices, which was released in 2013.

Gameplay

Before the events of the game begin, four elemental Fiends seal the four elemental Crystals that protect the planet. Each Crystal is corresponding to an elemental force: Fire, Water, Air, and Earth. The warriors of light venture to various places in the world to unseal the Crystals. While some of the Fiends are optional bosses, the final four are required to be defeated in order to complete the game. After the Warriors of Light succeed in their quest, a new age of peace begins.
