''Final Fantasy'' is a series of role-playing video games developed and published by Square Enix (formerly Square). Its first game premiered in Japan in 1987, and ''Final Fantasy'' games have subsequently been localized for markets in North America, Europe and Australia, on nearly every video game console since its debut on the Nintendo Entertainment System. ''Final Fantasy'' is Square Enix's most successful franchise, having sold over 97 million units worldwide to date. In addition to traditional role-playing games, the series includes tactical role-playing games, portable games, massively multiplayer online role-playing games, and games for mobile phones. Its popularity has placed it as the sixth-best-selling video game franchise, and the series has won multiple awards over the years. In addition to the 14 games released as part of the main (numbered) series and their many spin-offs and related titles, the ''Final Fantasy'' series has spawned many works in other media including anime, movies, novels and manga, and radio dramas. ''Final Fantasy: Unlimited'', originally a stand-alone anime series, now has its own sub-franchise which includes video games. Many games, particularly the main series, have soundtrack album releases featuring their music in different arrangements. Square Enix has also consistently released companion books for its games which provide additional backstory and plot information, as well as detailed walkthroughs for the game. Since the announcement of ''Compilation of Final Fantasy VII'', Square Enix has focused on "polymorphic content", expanding each game world with material on many video game platforms, as well as other forms of media. ==Video games== (詳細はfictional universe, although beginning with ''Final Fantasy X-2'', additional video games set in the main series games' worlds have been released. ''Compilation of Final Fantasy VII'' and ''Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy'' are cross-platform multimedia projects consisting of games, films, books, and other media centered around their respective main series game, ''Final Fantasy VII'' and ''Final Fantasy XIII''.〔 ''Final Fantasy Tactics'', although originally envisioned as a spin-off game, became its own series as part of ''Ivalice Alliance'', which counts ''Final Fantasy XII'' in its membership. A large number of spin-off video games have also been made for the ''Final Fantasy'' series. These spin-off games vary in their relation to the main series; the first, ''The Final Fantasy Legend'' games, were marketed as related in North America but were considered to be the first three games of the ''SaGa series'' in their native Japan, and later ''SaGa'' games released outside of Japan bear no ''Final Fantasy'' branding. ''Dissidia Final Fantasy'', on the other hand, is a fighting game using characters from the main series exclusively.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dissidia Final Fantasy (PSP) )〕 Overall, more than 30 games have been released as spin-offs of the main ''Final Fantasy'' series, many within their own sub-series. 〕 | release3=March 1, 2002〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Final Fantasy VI for PlayStation )〕 (PlayStation) | notes= *Released on Super Nintendo Entertainment System, first released in North America as "''Final Fantasy III''" on Super Nintendo Entertainment System〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Final Fantasy III for SNES )〕 *Also available on PlayStation〔 Game Boy Advance,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Final Fantasy VI for Game Boy Advance )〕 and Virtual Console〔}} }} 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Final Fantasy media」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
