# Final Fantasy *Final Fantasy*, released in December 1987 by Square for the Famicom and in June 1990 for the NES in North America, is the first entry in the *Final Fantasy* series, designed by Hironobu Sakaguchi. Set in a fantasy world, four Warriors of Light (chosen by the player) restore four elemental crystals (Earth, Fire, Water, Wind) to defeat the evil Chaos. Featuring turn-based combat, players select a party from six job classes (Fighter, Thief, Monk, White Mage, Black Mage, Red Mage) and explore an overworld, towns, and dungeons. With charming 8-bit visuals and a legendary soundtrack by Nobuo Uematsu, it sold over 1.2 million copies and laid the foundation for the JRPG genre. Re-released on MSX2 (1989), PlayStation (*Final Fantasy Origins*, 2002), Game Boy Advance (*Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls*, 2004), and modern platforms like PSP and mobile. ## Why Play Final Fantasy? *Final Fantasy* offers a classic JRPG experience with open-world exploration across continents, seas, and dungeons like the Marsh Cave and Chaos Shrine. Players customize their party’s classes, balancing melee (Fighter, Monk), magic (White/Black Mage), and hybrid roles (Red Mage), with class upgrades after a key story event. Combat involves strategic turn-based battles against enemies like Goblins and Behemoths, with bosses like Garland and the Four Fiends (Lich, Marilith, Kraken, Tiamat). Gameplay lasts 15-20 hours (25-30 for completion), with a save system on later ports (NES uses passwords). Its deep mechanics and iconic music (e.g., “Prelude”) make it a must-play for retro RPG fans, though its high difficulty, grinding, and dated interface may challenge newcomers. The GBA/PSP versions add easier difficulty and updated graphics. ## Game Features - Choose 4 Warriors of Light from 6 job classes (Fighter, Thief, Monk, White Mage, Black Mage, Red Mage) - Explore an open world with 9 dungeons; restore 4 elemental crystals - Engage in turn-based combat with magic (White/Black spells) and physical attacks - Battle enemies and bosses like the Four Fiends and Chaos - Upgrade classes mid-game (e.g., Fighter to Knight, Black Mage to Black Wizard) - Experience authentic NES gameplay on our retro ROM platform or modern ports (*Dawn of Souls*, PSP, mobile) ## Play Final Fantasy Online Embark on the quest today!
