Super Famicom
RPG
Designed with players of their first ever RPG in mind, Square included a guide to the adventure along with the game featuring easier modes. Very collectable box art with this Japanese release, especially as the series has gone on to grow in popularity. Although it could be argued the series never attained as many HP as it did in the Super Famicom glory days. The innocence of the sprite graphics pulls on the heart strings during the masterfully crafted story’s execution. Known as Final Fantasy II in the West as parts two and three hadn’t received an English language translation. The American version was censored for some reason.

Beautifully rendered settings in that delightful green hue for exploring with the equally lavishly rendered sprites that still have enough charm over polygons to feel deep attachment to them.

The fun, stunned expression of Cactuar captured in this delightful festival mask from the eternal Final Fantasy series.
Playstation
RPG
Delightful outshoot from the usual RPG action as the Fantasy world is realised in glorious isometric perspective with emphasis firmly on combat. Lavish attention to detail with deceased members of the party being turned into skulls and the beautifully illustrated avatars add to the involvement. The magic effects are expertly handled including some earth shattering attacks with a appropriately soothing or dramatic musical score depending on the action. Thumbs up.
Super Famicom
RPG
Designed with non-RPG gamers in mind making Mystic Quest an easy entry expedition as the young lad to tries to restore parity to earth by reuniting the four crystals. Ogres can be clearly seen removing the bug-bear of random battles that is prevalent in most RPG’s. And the combat is enjoyable with the battle scenes executed with panache as you may expect from a triple-A developer. Terrains to are skilfully sculptured with ice and volcanic levels looking breath taking. And the characters designs and emotive soundtrack bear all the hallmarks of a class act. Full title Final Fantasy USA Mystic Quest.

Guide Book
Basic rules on how to play, a brief character introduction before getting into plotting the gaming world and the data of items and adversaries that appear within.
Playstation

There are collectors who strive to collect every game Squaresoft has released and with such packaging it is easy to understand why that is. More than worthy of an English language translation with some emotion stirring moments in, some Chocobo must have had his head in the sand in Squares Overseas Department. There are some who feel the FF series lost its innocence in the shift from sprite based to the 32 Bit era so great that the time and effort was made to preserve its essence on CD format.

Guide Book
Packed full of the wonderful sketches that make me think Miyazaki san of Ghibli fame was a Square fan. Mind you, in Eighties Japan, who wasn’t?
Super Famicom
RPG
Visually a real feast for the eyes and aurally exquisite, full of raw emotion and soothing scores. Uematsu san deserves a Knighthood for getting the SFC sound chip to jump through hoops. The storyline is a real roller coaster: the highest tribute is the degree of attachment to the characters you feel. Known as Final Fantasy III in the West.

Guide Book
A detailed and through guide to the weaponry and stats of opponents in this SFC opus with plenty of screen shots.

Final Fantasy collectors will lap up this guide to the sixth instalment on the Super Famicom. Lavish illustrations and colourful screen shots are really befitting of such a fine art series held in the highest of esteem amongst the gaming cognoscenti.
Playstation
RPG
Voted one of the most emotional games ever and even a hardened veteran like Genki had a tear in the eye through the scene itself. A sign of its compelling nature that it can strike such emotion in players once they are fully enveloped in the story.
Playstation

Continues to move, shake and stir after the emotionally draining experience of the prequel which will have drawn a tear from even the most grizzled gaming veterans eye. Squaresoft maintains its own standards when it comes to quality and its consistent demands of improved visuals and slicker stories is never more evident in the leap made here.
Wonderswan
RPG
Improved visuals (including a stunning sea shrine update), conversation speed, combat system and new cut scenes along with an uplifting, orchestral music score. Huge bosses that seem to want to crawl out the screen. Playable as fighter, thief, ninja or three mages. So much loving from Square.

PS2
RPG
The Titanic of gaming as Squaresoft really find their rhythm on the hardware to produce a stunning piece of software. Its full mastery of the hardware is as clear as the water transparencies, yet the thread of strong gameplay and story telling remain undiminished since the Famicom days. A real gamers fantasy and well worthy of a PS3 update.
PS2
RPG
The core gameplay remains just as exquisite as its Playstation incarnations, yet the visual level would make a J Pop star blush with intense attention to detail and amazing models to endear the player to the characters (or otherwise.) Uncle Squaresoft still can tell a great post-dinner yarn, so pull up a pew and savour the experience which envelops gamers like a familiar blanket.

RPG
Epic escapades with superb cinematics spliced with clever 3D combat that gets the player involved in the action rather than observing. Incredible production values: the man hours are visible which ever way you spin to avoid the cold steel sword zipping past your ears. Yet again Square Enix raises the bar.

Nintendo DS
RPG
Just like with Mystic Quest for the Super Famicom, Square have gone back to their roots and produced an entry level RPG for those with little experience of the genre. Yet there is little here that will offend the grizzled RPG veteran – few will complain at the intuitive stylus controls and absence of excessive HP battles. The look is stunning – breath takingly refreshing and a clear triple-A release. Not a sequel to the PS2 version, but more of an off-shoot allowing interested parties to find out what happened to Vaan et al after the PS2 FFXII.

The ancients from Final Fantasy XIV are reproduced with incredible attention to detail in the facial expression – a slightly concerning expression under the mask. Incredible production values to this high end collectable.

PS4

An expansion pack for FF XIV introducing more roles in terms of jobs and the rumoured ability to fly. Its a shame they cant be included in the original release with so many updates and expansion packs around, but perhaps Genki is getting a bit too entrenched in the old school?
