Summary
Final Fantasy is a popular series of role playing games produced by Square Enix (originally Square Co., Ltd.).
It may be the most widely distributed game series of all time, including both standard console games and portable games, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game, games for mobile phones, a CGI movie (which was made of fail), two anime series and a direct to DVD movie.
This has many recognizable characters such as Cloud, Sephiroth, Tidus and Squall. The plots often center on a group of heroes battling a great evil while exploring the characters' internal struggles and relationships. Look to the Ogre Battle series for quality story and characters.
The first installment of the series premiered in Japan in 1987, and Final Fantasy games have subsequently been localized for markets in North America, Europe and Australia, on several modern video game consoles, including the Nintendo Entertainment System, the MSX 2, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, the Sony PlayStation, the WonderSwan Color, the Sony PlayStation 2, IBM PC compatible, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo GameCube, PlayStation Portable, Xbox 360 and Nintendo DS, as well as several different models of mobile phones. Future installments have been announced to appear on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 game systems.
It is Square Enix's most successful franchise, having sold over 85 million units worldwide to date.
As of 2012, fourteen games have been released as part of the main (numbered) series, and thirty five games in total, including spin-offs and sequels, have been released in the franchise.
The Power of this Verse
On the whole, Final Fantasy is a fairly powerful collection of isolated universes. It may be surprising but this verse is actually very powerful due to it possessing multiple Universal beings (and higher) such as Ultimecia, Neo-Exdeath, and Cloud Of Darkness. Still, taking those powerhouses out of the verse, it still does have multiple individuals that could solo the HST.
The games in general possess fairly powerful final antagonists, with most of them having at the minimum, at least country level+ stats and some good amount of hax too.
On the higher end of the spectrum you'll end up finding at least planet level+ characters and all the way up to universal with a possibility of multiversal for a minor few.
The protagonists tend to be weaker than the antagonists, but that's not to suggest they're weak themselves, often capable of contending with the villain of their world (some victories requiring more PIS than others).
Most of the different stories within Final Fantasy contain a fair level of speed, ranging from massively hypersonic at the lower end to faster-than-light at the highest.
Worth a final note is the sheer abundance of hax and other abilities that can be found displayed in the different verses.
You have things like transmutation, time manipulation, teleportation, elemental manipulation, telekinesis, summoning, mind control, illusion creation, intangibility, dimensional manipulation hax of all sorts, and immortality just to name a few.
