Later also the other three games were released and also the games have been released on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox Series X/S.

It all began in 1987. Square was almost on the edge of going out of business after releasing several unsuccessful games for the Famicon (NES). Hironobu Sakaguchi developed a game based on Enix's Dragon Quest and named it Final Fantasy, while it might be the last game Square would be developing. The game became a massive success.
