FINAL FANTASY
Earth, fire, water, wind... The light that once shone within the four Crystals was lost. Darkness covered the land, until the only hope for humanity rested in legends past. Become the Warriors of Light and embark on your own journey to restore power to the Crystals and save the world.
 
Switch between classes to improve your characters. Traverse the vast world with your airship and other vessels. Return to the game that started it all.

FINAL FANTASY II
This epic tale begins with four young souls orphaned during the struggle between the Palamecian Empire and the rebel army. On their journey, the youths join forces with the white wizard Minwu, Prince Gordon of Kashuan, Leila the pirate, and many others. Behold the beautiful and sometimes tragic twists of fate that await you on your adventure.
 
FINAL FANTASY II introduced a unique skill level system that strengthens different attributes of the characters depending on their fighting style rather than levelling up. Use the key terms you learn in conversation to unlock new information and progress in the story.
 
This innovative game series takes an ambitious turn in this second instalment in the FINAL FANTASY series!

FINAL FANTASY III
With the power of light nearly eclipsed by the power of darkness, only the crystals' four chosen adventurers can save the world.
 
Experience the iconic job changing system first introduced in FINAL FANTASY III - switch jobs at will and use various abilities as you progress in the game. Choose from a variety of classes including Warrior, Monk, White Mage, Black Mage, Dragoon, Evoker or even call monsters to do your bidding with as a Summoner.
