Final Fantasy
最终幻想
Final Fantasy is a turn-based RPG developed by Squaresoft in 1990 for the NES. Players control a party of four adventurers battling an evil empire and supernatural threats. Combat uses a menu-driven system where characters take turns selecting attacks, magic spells, or items. The game features distinct character classes—fighter, thief, black mage, and white mage—each with unique abilities. Players explore a non-linear world map, discovering towns, caves, and dungeons while acquiring experience and equipment. Story progresses through NPC interactions and plot events. The narrative centers on recovering four magical orbs to save the world. The game established several mechanics that would define the series, such as job-based characters and an elemental magic system with distinct offensive and healing spells.
