"The world is out of balance; the elements are in revolt. Four young heroes, each with a darkened orb, must restore order to this chaotic world. Swords and sorcery will aid them on their quest; on this Final Fantasy. Four Light Warriors appear among the people, each carrying an Orb. Two thousand years ago, the Orbs shined with Light. Now, only darkness.... You are the Light Warriors, the world's only hope. You will journey all across the land, through dark caverns, into the depths of the sea, and even amongst the clouds, looking for some way to save the world from the plague that is slowly consuming it..." Final Fantasy I was released in 1990 and the series has come a long way since then - from simple backgrounds, characters, enemies, and plots, to the more complex ones of Final Fantasies 7, 8, and 9. Nobuo Uematsu composed the soundtrack for this early game and as with the other Final Fantasies, his work shows his excellent talent. Final Fantasy I started a series that would capture the hearts of millions of gamers around the world. It was revolutionary for its time and will forever remain a classic.
