What is Final Fantasy?

Question

What is the basic storyline/what makes it so popular?

Answer 1

Final Fantasy (ファイナルファンタジー, Fainaru Fantajī?) is a series of RPGs developed and published by Square Enix Co., Ltd. (formerly Square Co., Ltd.). It is the third biggest selling video game franchise of all time, having sold over 70 million units worldwide as of January 2007, trailing only Mario and Pokémon.. The franchise later branched out into other genres and platforms, such as tactical RPGs, portable games, MMORPGs and games for mobile phones. The series also spurred the release of three animated productions and two full length CGI films.

The first installment of the series premiered in Japan on December 18, 1987, and Final Fantasy games have subsequently been localized for markets in North America, Europe and Australia on numerous video game consoles, IBM PC compatible computers, and several different models of mobile phones. Future installments have been announced to appear on seventh generation video game consoles. Two upcoming titles for the PS3 include Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XIII.

As of March 2007, there are about 28 games in the franchise. This number includes installments from Final Fantasy to Final Fantasy XII, along with a few direct sequels (Final Fantasy X-2) and numerous spin-offs.

Answer 2

Each final fantasy game has a different story, usually the characters and stories are not tied together.

If you want to play a very good final fantasy game get Final Fantasy 3(us) (which is 6 in japan).

Final Fantasy 7 was really popular and is pretty sweet too.

Answer 3

Final Fantasy is unique in that where there is a new installment, it has a different storyline, new characters, and a different abilities system. No Final Fantasy is alike, even spinoffs based upon the main series. Each one is totally engrossing, so I really couldn't tell you where to start.

But my personal favorites are FF2 and 5 if you would like to know :-)
