Description

"Final Fantasy," released in 1987 by Square Co. for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), is a landmark role-playing game that has had a profound impact on the genre and video gaming as a whole. The game begins with the player choosing a party of four characters from a selection of classes, including warriors, thieves, monks, and several types of magic-users. As the story unfolds, players embark on a grand quest to restore balance to a world plunged into chaos by four corrupt Elemental Orbs. The game features a vast world to explore, filled with dungeons, towns, and myriad secrets, all rendered in iconic 8-bit graphics.

The gameplay of "Final Fantasy" combines turn-based combat with a deep, strategic level of party management. Players must navigate through a variety of terrains, battle creatures, gather equipment, and gain experience points to level up their characters' abilities. Notable for its innovative use of a menu-driven combat system, "Final Fantasy" introduced many elements that would become standard in RPGs, including the concept of a party-based adventure and a detailed storytelling approach. The game was pivotal for Square, saving the company from bankruptcy and laying the foundation for what would become one of the most successful and beloved video game franchises in history, spawning numerous sequels, films, and merchandise.
