Final Fantasy

Platform: NES Year: 1987 Developer: Square Co., Ltd. Buy: Amazon

Final Fantasy is first game of the largest fantasy RPG franchise in history. It uses a pretty standard RPG system that was already popular by the time it came out; you create a party of four members, walk around an over world map, fight random encounters, enter towns, talk to randomly roaming NPCs, etc. However, expecting the game to be their last, the developers of Final Fantasy added a great deal more to the experience with lots of little details. The player attacks are animated, the enemies are beautifully drawn and show up in large bands, there is a limit to the amount of spells you can learn, there is both upper and lower case letters in the dialog, and many more.

The story is so common these days that it has become cliché. Four orbs, each representing on of the four elements, have been stolen. As the heroes of light, you must go and defeat each of the four fiends who have stolen the orbs and return them. To do this, you must go through numerous quests, battle plenty of bosses, and drink an obscene amount of potions.

The game is a whole lot of fun, and while it has a few annoyances, it sets the stage for an uncountable number of imitators.

Music

Few NES games have such a large soundtrack, and even fewer have such a good soundtrack. The Final Fantasy music is a cohesive set of tunes that have a common structure, but each track has its own unique charm. Each major area of the game has its own song, and Nobuo Uematsu did an amazing job fitting the songs to the feel of the areas.
