Final Fantasy is a console role-playing game developed and published in Japan by Square (now Square Enix) in 1987 and published in North America by Nintendo of America in 1990. It is the inaugural game in Square's flagship Final Fantasy series. Originally released for the Nintendo Entertainment System, Final Fantasy has been remade for several different video game consoles. The game has frequently been packaged with its follow-up, Final Fantasy II, in collections such as Final Fantasy I-II, Final Fantasy Origins, and Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls.
The story begins with the appearance of the four youths called the "Light Warriors", who each carry one of their world's four elemental orbs, which have been darkened by the four Elemental Fiends. Together, they quest to defeat these evil forces and restore light to the orbs, thus saving the world.
The game received positive reviews from the media, and is regarded as one of the most influential and successful role-playing games on the Nintendo Entertainment System, playing a major role in popularizing the genre after Dragon Warrior. All versions of Final Fantasy were commercially successful, selling 1.99 million copies combined worldwide, as of March 31, 2003.
