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. The power of four orbs, each representing on of the four elements, has gone out. As the heroes of light, you must go and defeat each of the four fiends in order to return light to the orbs. 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 an impressive 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. Despite the NES audio chip only allowing for a few instruments at a given time, the soundtrack still has the feeling of a large orchestra. One of the more interesting aspects of the soundtracks is the overall lack of percussion; almost none of the songs use drums.
