DESCRIPTION

Final Fantasy involves a band of warriors assembled to save the world from the forces of evil. Players create a party of four adventurers and set forth to explore their large world. Characters are selected from six different classes (Fighter, Black Belt, Thief, Red Mage, White Mage and Black Mage), each with its own defining attributes.

The Fighter can use almost any weapon or armor, the Red Mage can use some weapons, some armor, and some spells, and the Black Mage can cast powerful battle spells but cannot use most of the armor or weapons. Other classes feature similarly balanced restrictions. Once a certain point in the game is reached, the characters become experts in their current class and change into a more powerful identity (e.g. the Black Mage becomes the Black Wizard).

Players can enter towns, buy items and spells, learn clues about their quest, and even occasionally fight. And as the story progresses, non-player characters may have more to reveal or different things to say. Final Fantasy has a deep story and huge areas to explore, taking the heroes to mountains and volcanoes, buried submarines, space stations, and even through time. ~ Shelby Babb, All Game Guide

“Final Fantasy will always be a classic because, obviously, it gave birth to an epic series - But that aside, I don't think I'll ever get more than five minutes into it. It's not the graphics, because I'm a *huge* retro gamer, I guess I don't know what it is. I've beaten two, and most of the rest - Even MYSTIC QUEST! Ewww lol. But something about the veeeery first one, just can't seem to get through it.”

“A very hard rpg, but it shows the fundamental mechanics of where today's RPG's came from.”

Final Fantasy (NES) by: Shadsy

“Classic Final Fantasy. Since it's an early game, it requires a ton of difficult grinding and is devoid of any cutscenes. Its oldness hardly detracts from the epic plot and the huge, mysterious, and dangerous world.”
