Category:Final Fantasy series: Difference between revisions

''[[wikipedia:Final Fantasy|Final Fantasy]]'' is a very successful, modular RPG series created by [[Square Enix]]. It consists of a series of numbered games; each numbered game is disconnected from the others, but some games have had sequels or spinoffs set in the same universe. Despite this, the series boasts recurring characters and elements such as [[Moogle]]s and [[Chocobo]]s that appear in most titles. While ''Final Fantasy'' began its life on [[Nintendo]]'s consoles (the [[NES]] and [[Super NES]]), it migrated to other systems starting with ''[[wikipedia:Final Fantasy VII|Final Fantasy VII]]''; however, spinoff titles can still occasionally be found on Nintendo systems, including some titles in its sister series ''[[wikipedia:Kingdom Hearts|Kingdom Hearts]]''.

Many of Square Enix's contributions to the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]] contain references to, and characters from, ''Final Fantasy''. ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', their first collaboration, is highly influenced by the series; secret boss [[Culex]] is a parody of stereotypical ''Final Fantasy'' bosses of the time. Years later, various generic character classes and enemies (influenced by the NES titles) appeared in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'', ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]''. [[Cloud Strife]] of ''Final Fantasy VII'' fame was the first "named" ''Final Fantasy'' protagonist to appear alongside ''Mario'' characters, in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''.
