This article is about The first Final Fantasy game. For a compilation title for Famicom featuring both titles, see Final Fantasy I∙II. For the Game Boy Advance remake, see Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls.

Final Fantasy I, formerly and sometimes known as Final Fantasy, is the first installment of the Final Fantasy franchise and its main series. The game was developed and published by Square. It was originally released in Japan for the Famicom in 1987 and for the Nintendo Entertainment System in North America in 1990.

Final Fantasy I has been re-released on numerous consoles, including MSX2, WonderSwan Color, PlayStation, and PlayStation Portable, smart phones, and the Nintendo 3DS. There are a few compilations with it and Final Fantasy II, including Final Fantasy I∙II, Final Fantasy Origins and Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls. The original Famicom/NES version of Final Fantasy I has been released on Nintendo's Virtual Console for the Wii, Nintendo 3DS, and Wii U.

Characters

Main article: List of characters in Final Fantasy I

The characters are not individually named, and they are collectively known as the Warriors of Light. At the start of the game, the player can select the types and names of each Light Warrior. Like computer role-playing games of the era, the player characters are passive participants in the story, and therefore the player's choice of character type affects only the Warriors of Lights' abilities in battle.

Classes

There are six classes, and as each of their stats increase, they change class. Their beginning stats are listed.
