List of Final Fantasy media

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

This is a list of media related to the Final Fantasy video game series. Final Fantasy is a series of console role playing 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 the Nintendo Entertainment System, including MSX2, Super Nintendo, PlayStation, WonderSwan (Color), PlayStation 2, IBM PC, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360, and several models of mobile phone. Future games have been announced for Wii, Nintendo DS, PlayStation Portable, and PlayStation 3 game systems. Final Fantasy is Square Enix's most successful franchise, having sold over 80 million units worldwide to date,[1] including tactical role-playing games, portable games, MMORPGs, and games for mobile phones, in addition to console role-playing games. Its popularity has placed it as the fourth-best-selling video game franchise, among other honors.[2]

As of 2008, twelve games have been released as part of the main (numbered) series, as well as many spin-offs and related titles. Each game in the main series takes place in a different fictional universe, though beginning with Final Fantasy X-2, video games set in main series games' worlds have been released. In addition to video games, Final Fantasy has spawned several anime, movies, novels and manga, as well as a few radio dramas. Many games, particularly the main series, have several companion soundtracks with music from the games. 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.[3]

[edit] Companion books

Starting with Final Fantasy III, Square began publishing guide books for its games which traditionally include additional content such as developer interviews and expanded plot and setting information. Studio BentStuff wrote the first Ultimania book for Final Fantasy VIII in 1999, though the company had been contracted to write Final Fantasy VII True Script Dissection for the previous game. Since then, Ultimania books have been written for every major Final Fantasy title, including Battle Ultimania, Scenario Ultimania, and Ultimania Omega editions for some games.

[edit] Music and soundtracks

The primary composer of music for the main series was Nobuo Uematsu, who single-handedly composed the soundtracks for the first nine games, as well as directing the production of many of the albums. Music for the spin-off series and main series games beginning with Final Fantasy X was created by a variety of composers including Masashi Hamauzu, Naoshi Mizuta, Hitoshi Sakimoto, and Kumi Tanioka, as well as many others.[2]

The majority of Final Fantasy games, including all of the main series games, have received a soundtrack album release. Many have also inspired orchestral, vocal, or piano arrangement albums. These albums have been produced and reprinted by a number of different companies, including DigiCube, NTT Publishing, Square Enix itself, and many others. Additionally, many albums have been made available at the iTunes Music Store.[79] In addition to the regular albums, a number of compilation albums of songs from several Final Fantasy games have been produced both by Square Enix and outside groups. Music from the original soundtracks of the Final Fantasy games has been arranged as sheet music for the piano and published by DOREMI Music Publishing, while sheet music from the Final Fantasy piano albums have been published by Yamaha Music Media.[80][81] Music from the franchise has been performed numerous times in concert tours and other live performances such as the Orchestral Game Music Concerts and the Video Games Live concert tour, as well as forming the basis of specific Final Fantasy concerts such as the Dear Friends and Distant Worlds concert tours.[82][83] Several of the Final Fantasy concerts have an accompanying album release.[84]
