Here’s a breakdown of each game, via Square Enix:
Final fantasy
This is the ironically named game that started it all. You control the Warriors of Light and embark on a journey to defeat four devils and restore peace to the world.
So many elements of the series that we’ve come to know and love make their debut here in this very first entry: a vast world full of mystery, some iconic monster designs, and that incredible music.
Final Fantasy II
The second game in the series introduces a new world, new characters and something that would become a trademark of the series: innovation.
The story focuses on the conflict between the hostile empire of Palamecia and the rebel resistance. A small group of heroes is all that stands between the world and doom.
Final Fantasy II shows the developers’ willingness to push their limits and try new things. For example, instead of sticking to the predictable, the game has a skill system where characters’ abilities with weapons and abilities increase the more they use them.
Fun fact: this is the Final fantasy game that introduced the world to chocobos! That is now a legacy.
Final Fantasy III
When darkness falls and the land is robbed of light, four young heroes are chosen by the crystals to begin an exciting journey across a vast and hostile land.
This critically acclaimed entry in the series innovated with a flexible task system, allowing characters to change roles in combat at any time. Many of the most famous elements of Final fantasy also started here – for example, it was the first to introduce summons, including series mainstays Bahamut and Shiva!
Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy IV delivers one of the richest and most powerful stories in the series. It is full of characters and scenarios that fans continue to love to this day.
It focuses on the dark knight Cecil, who finds himself stripped of his position and rank when he questions his king’s increasingly disturbing orders. When he and his friend Kain are sent on a simple delivery mission, the shocking events that follow send him and a group of allies on an incredible journey of betrayal, love and redemption.
This is the first game to feature the Active Time Battle (ATB) system, which combines turn-based and real-time elements to create fast-paced and strategic battles.
Final Fantasy V
The world of Final Fantasy V is on the verge of destruction because the elemental crystals that bring life and prosperity to the lands have lost their power.
The only hope lies in four heroes: Bartz, Princess Lenna of Castle Tycoon, pirate Faris and the mysterious Galuf. Driven together by fate, they embark on a quest to save the planet itself.
In addition to fine-tuning the ATB system, Final Fantasy V vastly expands your strategic options through a vastly expanded job system, allowing you to customize your characters with 22 different jobs.
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy VI is a game loved by fans and critics alike.
That’s partly due to the incredible setting and story. It takes place in a land where magic has disappeared and humanity has instead turned to iron, gunpowder, steam and other technology.
Actually, it would be more accurate to say that magic is mostly gone – a young woman enslaved by the evil empire still holds the power. When she encounters a powerful ancient creature called an Esper, she sets off a series of events that will have epic and terrible consequences.
