{{nihongo|'''Final Fantasy'''|ファイナルファンタジー}} is a fantasy role-playing video game created by Hironobu Sakaguchi, developed and first published in Japan by [[Square]] (now Square Enix) in [[1987]] for the [[Famicom]]. It is the first game in Square's [[:Category:Final Fantasy|Final Fantasy series]]. Originally released for the [[NES|Nintendo Entertainment System]], Final Fantasy was remade for the [[MSX2]] and [[WonderSwan Color]]. It was later released on the [[Game Boy Advance]] as part of a compilation called [[Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls]]. In [[2009]], it was released for the [[Wii]] via the [[Wii Virtual Console]] service. It was later made available on [[iOS]].


The story follows four youths called the Light Warriors, who each carry one of their world's four elemental orbs which have been darkened by the four Elemental Fiends. Together, they quest to defeat these evil forces, restore light to the orbs, and save their world.
:'''Note:''' This walkthrough is primarily based on the ''[[Final Fantasy Origins]]'' remake (normal mode). The only major differences between the NES version and the PS1 version are name changes and a modifications to a few [[Final Fantasy I/Finenemy stats. The ''[[Final Fantasy 1 & 2: Dawn of Souls|Dawn of Souls]]'' edition has the same names as the ''Origins'' edition, but radically different stats and a new dugeons. While this guide covers all of the elements in both versions, you should consult a different  [http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/gbadvance/game/920240.html guide] for the new dugeons and enemy information.


The game received generally positive reviews, and it is regarded as one of the most influential and successful role-playing games on the Nintendo Entertainment System, playing a major role in popularizing the genre. Praise focused on the game's graphics, while criticism targeted the time spent wandering in search of random battle encounters to raise the player's experience level. All versions of Final Fantasy sold a combined total of two million copies worldwide by March 2003.
'''''Final Fantasy I''''' is the first game in Square's now long line of ''[[:Category:Final Fantasy|Final Fantasy]]'' games. It may not be the greatest RPG ever (though it was amazing at the time), but it's a fun, - and highly nostalgic for many - romp through the past. ''[[Final Fantasy Origins]]'' on the [[:Category:PlayStation|PS1]] has a long list of improvements over the original, besides the more obvious graphics update, they fixed a lot of the bugs and various other knick-knacks that were overlooked the first time around.

''Final Fantasy I'' was created as the last ditch effort of [[:Category:Square Co., Ltd.|Squaresoft]] in the hopes of making money. If it had flopped they would have been forced out of the gaming market, but it managed to be a hit both in Japan and in the US. Years later the game would be re-released with improved graphics and audio for the [[:Category:Wonderswan Color]]. Squaresoft bundled the game with ''[[Final Fantasy II]]'' when they re-released the game ''[[Final Fantasy I-II]]'' for the [[:Category:NES|Famicom]], ''[[Final Fantasy Origins]]'' for the [[:Category:PlayStation|Playstation]], and most recently, ''[[Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls]]'' for the [[:Category:Game Boy Advance|Game Boy Advance]].

==FAQ==
''How do I upgrade my character's [[Final Fantasy I/Classes|class]]?''
 
:You'll need the [[Final Fantasy I/Items#Rat's Tail|Rat's Tail]] which you can find in the [[Final Fantasy I/Walkthrough/Citadel of Trials|Citadel of Trials]]. Once you acquire it from the chest, you have to take it to [[Final Fantasy I/Walkthrough/#Bahamut's Cave|Bahamut's Cave]] in the [[Final Fantasy I/Walkthrough#Cardia Islands|Cardia Islands]]. If you don't know where these islands are, they're the group of islands between the North Eastern and North Western continents.
 
''Why can't I find some of the monsters listed in the [[Final Fantasy I/Enemies|beastiary]]?''
 
:Some of the monsters are rarer than others. I'll eventually get around to listing those particular enemies, but for now, you should check one of the [http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/game/561981.html other guides] for information on them.
 
''Where's the best place to level up?''
 
:The easiest way to level up is to battle the [[Final Fantasy I/Enemies#Evil Eye|Evil Eye]] in the [[Final Fantasy I/Walkthrough/Ice Cave|Ice Cave]]. It doesn't have much HP, it gives lots of experience, it appears on a spiked square, and you can kill it easily. Kill it over and over again and you'll get lots of experience for the time you put into it.
 
''Why don't you list the locations of the enemies in the [[Final Fantasy I/Enemies|beastiary]]?''
 
:Because I'm lazy right now but I'll eventually get around to it. Some of the other [http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/game/561981.html ''Origins''] guides have that information.
