Final Fantasy Series



Name: Final Fantasy
Creators: Square Enix
Game Type: Fantasy RPG
View: 3rd Person

Series Brief Description: Final Fantasy's plot lines generally sticks around the same type of plot in it's series of games. A cast of heroes are grouped together for some particular reason or by chance and they fight against an antagonist type character or group. Normally combining fantasy elements such as magic, sword and relics with more modern type combat like guns and cannons. Stories normally contain different amounts of themes such as struggle. tension, passion, romance, tragedies, death and rivalry.

Game Play: Evolved over the 20 years Final Fantasy has been going, started of using a simple Turn Based Strategy Type Game Play where characters take it in turn to perform an action or skill on another character. To game play where you can press buttons and make it seem like a hack n slash type of game play but you can also performs certain skills such as magic by pressing other battles so it seems more seamless and flowing.

Characters and Environments: The characters and environments in the game are something that Square Enix and the creator have focused on in the game and made them look very realistic or stunningly beautiful. The characters especially as they create very stunning and individual story contained characters, the work a lot on them as they want each character to have a meaning to the overall grand story. Also visually attractive in how they look and individual. The environments are also put a lot of effort into as they're meant to be again, relevant to the story but also give you a feel for the different parts and elements that they worked to make the game as big as it is.

Story: I mentioned this part briefly in the small brief description of the series, when it comes to plot there's normally a cast of playable characters that face either an antagonist type character or group which you as the character cast verse for some reason or other. Normally each character is connected to it somehow and has made them want to rebel against the character, defeat him etc. You face normal battles of more minion based enemies and more difficult enemies such as bosses and you face them and defeat them, mean whilst learning more about the story and whats happened,happening or going to happen
