Final Fantasy. What some consider one of the most important titles ever FINAL FANTASY has withstood the test of time. It was first released on the NES back in 1987 and has since been released on multiple Nintendo, Sony, and phone apps.

You control four characters which start out as one job class and then later they become interchangeable. It is also the first time the abilities steal, jump, and summon are introduced.
FINAL FANTASY IV (1991) is regarded as a landmark and the first major RPG of the series. It is considered to be one of the first role-playing games to feature an in depth, involving plot, and is thought to have pioneered the idea of dramatic story telling in an RPG. This game was the first in the series to allow the player to control up to five characters in your party; while previous games had limited the party to four. It also marks the first appearance of Squares Active Time Battle (ATB) system, which differed from the turn-based designs of previous RPGs. The ATB system centers on the player inputting orders for the characters in real time during battles.

Inspiration ranged from ancient Egyptian and Greek architecture, to the city of Paris, France, to an idealized futuristic European society.

The setting is inspired by Norse and Northern European mythology. With a less serious point of view this game was meant to really involve the player and make you feel the emotion of the characters and involve you in the story.

Introduced are several innovations such as: battles occur without transition to a separate screen(loading to a different screen), a customizable skill system known as gambit to control the actions of npcs (non player character), and an experience point like system that allows you to equip different equipment and armor. The inspiration for the gambit system was derived from american football where each member of the team has a specific job to do.
