What is Final Fantasy?
Final Fantasy is one of the longest running and most beloved Japanese role-playing game series of all time.
Each main game features an exciting story, often centred around defeating a powerful enemy set on destroying the world. Each mainline title is largely standalone which makes Final Fantasy a great series of games to jump into wherever you choose.
You can expect epic fantasy settings, a memorable cast of characters, magic-infused combat that usually involves calling forth summons, and a few recurring elements between titles.
From its roots in traditional turn-based combat and random battle encounters, Final Fantasy has continued to innovate, refine and reinvent with every new instalment. Some titles adopting active time battles instead of those of a turn-based nature being one example of this.
