Description
Summary:[EN] Final Fantasy (Fainaru Fantajī, 1987) is a series of videogames developed by the Japanese company Square Enix, of wide international recognition, whose history is linked to the configuration of Japanese RPGs. After fifteen official titles, thirty years of experience and more than three hundred million units sold, Final Fantasy achieves part of its success thanks to the desire for narrative complexity that characterizes it since its first delivery. Nowadays, it is a worldwide known phenomenon which is associated with a franchise that has established creative foundations since its inception. In this report, Marta García Villar, researcher in crossmedia and videogame storytelling, as well as a regular contributor to media such as Games Tribune and Manual, investigates Final Fantasy's cinematic influence, which has even reached the crystallization of its own expanded universe.
