Games

The first installment of the series premiered in Japan on December 18, 1987. Subsequent titles are numbered and given a story unrelated to previous games; consequently, the numbers refer more to volumes than to sequels.

Future installments will appear on seventh generation video game consoles; upcoming titles include Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Final Fantasy Agito XIII, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers, Final Fantasy Gaiden: The Four Warriors of Light, and Final Fantasy XIV. As of March 2007, there are 28 games in the franchise;this number includes the main installments from Final Fantasy to Final Fantasy XII, as well as direct sequels and spin-offs. Most of the older titles have been remade or re-released on multiple platforms.
