Final
Fantasy - General
Final
Fantasy is one of the greatest series of console RPGs ever.
It
set the standard with Final
Fantasy I back on the NES.
It
followed up with Final
Fantasy II and III, both of which were
never released in America, both for the NES.
The
revolution came in Final Fantasy IV
(released as FF2 in America) for the SNES.
Final
Fantasy V was a bit before it's time, so this
SNES game never came to America.
Final
Fantasy VI (USA - FF3) is sometimes considered
the greatest Final Fantasy, although it was limited by the SNES.
Final
Fantasy VII is generally considered the best
of the series, towering over the competition in graphics, sounds, story,
and gameplay. The first on the PlayStation
makes full use of it's capabilities.
Final
Fantasy: Mystic Quest is an Action-RPG for the SNES.
Final
Fantasy Tactics is one of the best in the series, although it is
not really part of the series. It is different from any other FF game,
but the FF team made it, so it's titled Final Fantasy It's Job/Ability
system, taken from FF5, is quite a step, and it is pulled off well. It
is for the Playstation.
-
Most of the Final Fantasy games
center on the recovery/rescue/restoration of 'crystals.'
-
Magic is involved, and classics
like FIRE, BOLT and CURE stay true.
-
Usually there is some sort of
prophecy, naming your character the destined hero or such.
-
Most of the games consist of
three different planes. The 'World Map,' where you can go from town to
town and area to area, the 'Area Map,' for places like in towns or caves,
where you may interact with your environment, and the 'Fight,' which consists
of your party on one side and the enemy on the other. You excahnge attacks
and magic.
