FREE Final Fantasy Fonts To Help You Unleash Your Creativity

Final Fantasy Font Origin
RPGs started to pick up steam with the 1986 release of Dragon Quest on the Nintendo Famicom. The world of computer games was largely uncharted territory, which hopefuls like Hironubu Sakaguchi took advantage of. The start of the 8-bit generation of gaming opened worlds of possibilities that the arcades barely matched.
Square at the time was attempting to rival Enix with their own adventure games, and others that were novel ideas at the time. There was one issue with Square’s approach: the games weren’t selling. Sakaguchi, in a final attempt to cement a legacy in the face of a possible bankruptcy, made an epic fantasy game – what is known today as the Final Fantasy franchise.
Final Fantasy was released in 1987 alongside Sega’s Phantasy Star, and two months ahead of Enix’s Dragon Quest III. While fans didn’t agree with which of the three was the best, they all had a role in cementing the RPG genre in the gaming industry.
