PICTURE TIME! 1-5

Final Fantasy I
A picture of one of I's remakes this is the infamous battle with the Earth Fiend Lich, here you see the four person party, each with a different class, from bottom to top you have Black Mage, White Mage, Thief and Warrior class. You can see the battle menu along the bottom, and the character box showing the HP and MP.

Here is a screen shot from the original FFI as u can see the graphics back then were not as amazing as we have them now, this is from the same scene as the previous picture, the battle with Lich the Earth Fiend.

Here we have artwork from the amazing Yoshitaka Amano, a depiction of who later is referred to as the Warrior of Light, one of the 4 heroes from the Game, takes a lead role in the fighting game Dissidia.

Every Final Fantasy has a title image like this, with artwork from the amazing Yoshitaka Amano that is specific to that title, here we have the depiction of the Warrior of Light.

Another image of the original battle system, with the menus in English this time.

A depiction of the main villain from FFI Garland in a later instalment compilation fighting series Final Fantasy Dissidia, back when the original was released we were unable to see the characters this clearly, I have enjoyed the instalment Dissidia, as it has given us a chance to get to know characters from previous installments and see them more clearly as an actual character.

Here the depiction of the Warrior of Light from Dissidia.

Final Fantasy II

The title artwork for II features our hero Firion Amano style.

Final Fantasy III
This game was hard to find older images for, a lot of the images found, are from the DS remake
Here we see character renders for the Nintendo DS remake of the job classes available to use in the game.

Final Fantasy V
Another game that is difficult to find images of.

Exdeath as he appears in Dissidia.

The title art for V depicts just a dragon, also done by Yoshitaka Amano.

The characters of V done by Yoshitaka Amano.

I only know one character in this image, Bartz on the left, I believe from the armor design on the arms the character on the right may be Exdeath, done by Yoshitaka Amano.

here we have the title image with a picture of a bit like version of Barz Klauser and his Chocobo companion Boco.

Another screen shot of the battle screen in V.


So hopefully I have given you an idea of what the fantasy worlds that we have visited so far. From this point forward the games start changing in miraculous ways! Becoming more intricate, more artistic!
I am excited to say that I am enjoying this just for myself if anything, seeing the differences and similarities in the games and digging deeper into the history and mythos of the worlds.
Its one of the reasons I love FF. Each story is magical and different, the characters are thought through and you come to know and love them as the game continues.
Coming your way next, Final Fantasy VI, and the first female lead character!
