  • Ranking the Final Fantasy Series

    December 29, 2009 - If there's one series that completely embodies the charm of the Japanese role-playing game, it's Final Fantasy. This legendary series, which is now more than twenty years old, has grown into a virtually universally recognizable entity, spawning spin-off action games, movies and more. With a heavy emphasis on character-driven stories and elaborate battle systems, it's easy to see why Final Fantasy has such a devoted following.

  • IGN Presents the History of Final Fantasy

    June 26, 2009 - Final Fantasy is the longest swan song of all time. It was never meant to last, but now, more than two decades later, it remains the most recognizable name in role-playing games. More of an idea than a true series, it has evolved into something that a young Hironobu Sakaguchi would never recognize and almost single-handedly turned a small, struggling company into an international powerhouse. In the twenty years since it first arrived on Japanese Famicom systems, it's never once relied on nostalgia or conceded to rest on its laurels. Every new game has continued to press forward, and that's precisely what makes it one of the most interesting stories in game history.

  • Is Final Fantasy VII Overrated?

    March 3, 2009 - Videogames are occasionally overrated, but some titles just take on a rhapsodic life of their own. They achieve a mythical status that makes them practically impervious to anything but the most glowing analysis. A passionate fanbase digs a moat around a game to defend it against criticism of any sort; even benign curiosity about an aspect of the game that might be improved is treated with open hostility. But as videogames mature, it's important to cast a critical eye back at the so-called sacred cows of videogames. How else can game design improve if we do not seriously consider the possible demerits of even the most vaunted games? With that as a mission statement of sorts, IGN Retro is taking a look at videogames that are possibly overrated. First, we took a critical look at the enshrined Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Now, Square's magnum opus, Final Fantasy VII, gets the same treatment.

  • Top 25 Final Fantasy Characters - Day IV

    May 15, 2008 - Our Top 25 list of All-Time Final Fantasy characters enters day four, and brings us to the Top 10. well, the first half anyway.

  • IGN Presents: The History of Final Fantasy VII

    April 30, 2008 - In 1987, Hironobu Sakaguchi was planning his retirement from the gaming industry. Square, the four-year-old company he co-founded, faced imminent bankruptcy after a string of disappointing Famicom releases, while competitor Enix surged ahead with a new game called Dragon Quest. Sakaguchi knew he could do better than Dragon Quest, and boldly decided to prove it with one final fantasy-adventure RPG people would remember long after Square faded into history. He named it accordingly. Five sequels later, Final Fantasy proved anything but a finale. By the end of 1994, Square was a developer with some weight behind the name, and Sakaguchi was their executive wunderkind. They'd branched out with other successful titles like Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger, earned a place as one of Nintendo's top third-party developers, and slowly moved into the prized American market. With Final Fantasy VI in the can, Sakaguchi and his team had choices to make on where to take their venerable series next, and their decisions not only changed their company forever, but the entire gaming industry. Seven was about to become everyone's lucky number.
