Final Fantasy (officially written FINAL FANTASY) is a fantasy turn-based role-playing game developed by Square for the Nintendo Entertainment System and is the first game in the Final Fantasy series. It was released in December 1987 in Japan and May 1990 in North America. Its North American release was localized and published by Nintendo of America.
The game has numerous re-releases, including on the Game Boy Advance as Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls and on non-Japanese versions of the NES Classic Edition.
Story
There are four Light Warriors, each carrying an Orb, each of which represent a specific element. They start their journey by rescuing Princess Sara of Coneria from the traitorous knight Garland. The Light Warriors eventually defeat the Four Fiends (Lich, Kary, Kraken, and Tiamat), who were draining power from the Orbs, and then the Light Warriors restore the Orbs to their former power. The Light Warriors discover that Garland had created a time loop, so they go 2,000 years into the past to fight him. They fight the Four Fiends again and then kill Garland, who transforms into Chaos. Then the Light Warriors kill him and end the time loop.
Gameplay
The player has a party of four, and can select their names and classes. There are six classes: Fighter, Black Belt, Red Mage, Thief, White Mage, and Black Mage; these classes have different stats, and can equip different sets of equipment, and some of the classes can use magic. The game takes place on a world map, with towns and dungeons that can be visited.
Battles are turn-based; the player selects commands for each member of the party, and then characters and enemies act in an order determined by their agility stats. An innovation with Final Fantasy is that the player's party can be seen at the right-hand side of the screen and the enemies at the left, rather than the then-standard first-person view where only the enemies could be seen.
