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.
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 Playstation console system. They then released them again in Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls for the Game Boy Advance.
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)
