Final Fantasy (Ohga Shrugs)

Final Fantasy is a series of Role-Playing games developed by Square and first created by Hironobu Sakaguchi.

Unlike in most series, each game in the franchise is typically set in its own universe. Recurring elements include concepts, game mechanics, and species. Plots typically focus on a team of young heroes trying to either defeat an evil empire or save the world from some threat.

Games
Usually, three main-series Final Fantasy games are released per console generation, with the only exception thus far being the seventh console generation, which only received two. Final Fantasy I through III were released for the Nintendo Entertainment System, IV through VI were released for the SNES, VII through IX were released for the N64, X through XII were released for the GameCube, and XIII and XIV'' were released for both the Revolution and the Pluto.

The series has also had a number of spinoffs. These have included 1989's Legend for the Game Boy, 1997's Tactics for the N64, and 2008's Dissidia for the Nitro.

Reception
Final Fantasy is one of the most notable few RPG series in video games, alongside Pokemon and Dragon Quest. Since its first release in 1987, the series has sold approximately 70 million games. Furthermore, each of the main entries in the series, as well as many of the spinoffs, have received much critical acclaim, and have been considered to be among the best games of their type on their respective platforms.
