A brief consideration of the origins, gameplay and history of Final Fantasy as a series. From its origins back in 1987, through to the present day, Final Fantasy has remained a standard bearer for the JRPG genre and its innovations in Japan, and bringing it to the mainstream in the West.

In this episode I look at series influences from Dungeons and Dragons through to Lord of the Rings and Greek Mythology. And also consider key Square Enix staff from Tetsuya Nomura and Yoshitaka Amano, through to Hironobu Sakaguchi and Nobuo Uematsu.
