Happy 25th Anniversary to Final Fantasy

by December 18, 2012

Join all of us here at TLS in wishing a happy 25th birthday to the much beloved Final Fantasy series, which saw its first title released to the public 25 years ago today. Oh, how time flies when you’re having fun!

Today also brings with it the release of the three 25th Anniversary Memorial Ultimania books. We hope to have some coverage of at least the second one (it features VII, VIII and IX) in the near future, so check back for that.

In the meantime, today is also a time for reflecting on the history of the series and assessing where it stands today. Some feel that today is a good day to tell Final Fantasy, “Time to get your shit together.” What do you think?

Is Final Fantasy a once legendary series on the decline? The best it has ever been? Neither of the above? Let us know!

If you haven’t already, now would be a good time to join our forums, where you can discuss classic Final Fantasy titles, more current entries, and FF-related stuff in general — as well as a whole lot more. There’s much more to us than just Final Fantasy VII or even Final Fantasy.

We have a section for general gaming; for news, politics, relgiion and debate; for entertainment from the worlds of manga, movies and television; and more besides!

Take a dip into the Lifestream sometime, won’t you?
