The four Warriors of Light set out for adventure 25 years ago...

Square-Enix (formerly Square) and Hironobu Sakaguchi published what was to be there final game, Final Fantasy, 25 years ago to this day, December 18th, 1987. Little did we know then, that Square would change the world and define the entire RPG genre for the next 2 decades.


As we wait for the triumphant return of Final Fantasy XIV: A Real Reborn in 2013, I have nothing but the utmost of respect for Square-Enix. They have worked hard, succeeded, and made a few mistakes, but ultimately they stayed true to the fans. Thanks to the efforts of Yoshi-P and his current team, the future of Final Fantasy looks extremely bright.

Personally, I remember making my first game trade ever; The Legend of Zelda traded to obtain the original Final Fantasy. I still own it to this day. To many of us, Final Fantasy is more than just a game. The stories and adventures that we as players have taken part in has shaped our some of the very things about us. Whether we like to admit it or not, at some point or another we have been touched by the series, be it music, gameplay, graphics, characters, or the stories.

Here's to another amazing 25 years and beyond.
