30 years of Final Fantasy

This year sees thirty years of my favorite frenemy franchise, Final Fantasy (alliteration FTW!):

With regards to this video, it's interesting to note that Five is the one that shows some actual gameplay footage....

Still, for me the Final Fantasy series represents a strained relationship. Sometimes it strikes gold, other times it delivers crap. Sometimes it provides an engaging RPG experience, other times it seems more interested in the spectacle. Sometimes it has timeless classics that still hold up years later, other times it seems to be making the lightening strike again to the point of painful.

But in the end, for all the times Final Fantasy DID work, I can't hold those moments against it.
So here's to three decades, you magnificent bastard.
