series has generated its own subculture with the release of 28 console, online
and handheld games, two CG-animated films and 49 music soundtracks worldwide.
“So much has changed within the video game industry since the first console
was launched, and Final Fantasy has always pushed the envelope, creating the
most advanced graphics and immersive storylines possible,” said Executive
Producer Shinji Hashimoto “It is amazing to see how far Final Fantasy has come
in the past twenty years, and we cannot wait to continue bringing fans more
Final Fantasy titles in the next twenty years.”
