{{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 game to start the long and well respected series, this was created as the last ditch effort of the company in the hopes of making money. If it had flopped they would have been forced out of the gaming market, and as everyone can see they did quite the opposite.
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.


This game proved to be so well loved that it was often heralded as the greatest Role-Playing Game ever created by numerous fans. The makers of the game finally bundled it with [[Final Fantasy II]] when they made [[Final Fantasy Origins]] for the [[:Category:PlayStation|Playstation]] console system. They then released them again in [[Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls]] for the [[:Category:Game Boy Advance|Game Boy Advance]].  
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.


The game allows you to create a party of four characters (chosen from Fighters, Black Belts, Thiefs, Black Mages, White Mages, and Red mages) and go on a quest to activate the four crystals and restore peace to the land. At a certain point in the game, you are able to upgrade you characters to become stronger and learn new ways of attacking. (Fighters become Knights, Black Belts become Masters, Theifs become Ninjas, Black Mages become Black Wizards, White Mages become White Wizards, and Red Mages become Red Wizards)
