The player issues combat orders—like "Fight", "Magic", and "Item"—to individual characters via a menu-driven interface while engaging in battles. Throughout the series, the games have used different battle systems. Prior to Final Fantasy XI, battles were turn-based with the protagonists and antagonists on different sides of the battlefield. Final Fantasy IV introduced the "Active Time Battle" (ATB) system that augmented the turn-based nature with a perpetual time-keeping system. Designed by <a href="/wiki/Hiroyuki_Ito" title="Hiroyuki Ito">Hiroyuki Ito</a>, it injected urgency and excitement into combat by requiring the player to act before an enemy attacks, and was used until <a href="/wiki/Final_Fantasy_X" title="Final Fantasy X">Final Fantasy X</a>, which implemented the "Conditional Turn-Based" (CTB) system.<a href="#cite_note-GS-FFHistory-Main-4">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-IGN-Evo-24">[23]</a><a href="#cite_note-VM-FFHistory-97">[96]</a> This new system returned to the previous turn-based system, but added nuances to offer players more challenge.<a href="#cite_note-GT-FFRetrospectiveVII-20">[19]</a><a href="#cite_note-98">[97]</a> Final Fantasy XI adopted a real-time battle system where characters continuously act depending on the issued command.<a href="#cite_note-99">[98]</a> Final Fantasy XII continued this gameplay with the "Active Dimension Battle" system.<a href="#cite_note-BRADY35-100">[99]</a> Final Fantasy XIII's combat system, designed by the same man who worked on X,<a href="#cite_note-IGNstaff-101">[100]</a> was meant to have an action-oriented feel, emulating the cinematic battles in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Final Fantasy XV introduces a new "Open Combat" system. Unlike previous battle systems in the franchise, the "Open Combat" system (OCS) allows players to take on a fully active battle scenario, allowing for free range attacks and movement, giving a much more fluid feel of combat. This system also incorporates a "Tactical" Option during battle, which pauses active battle to allow use of items.<a href="#cite_note-XIIIbattle-102">[101]</a> Like most RPGs, the Final Fantasy installments use an <a href="/wiki/Experience_point" title="Experience point">experience level</a> system for character advancement, in which experience points are accumulated by killing enemies.<a href="#cite_note-103">[102]</a><a href="#cite_note-104">[103]</a><a href="#cite_note-105">[104]</a><a href="#cite_note-106">[105]</a> <a href="/wiki/Final_Fantasy_character_jobs" class="mw-redirect" title="Final Fantasy character jobs">Character classes</a>, specific jobs that enable unique abilities for characters, are another recurring theme. Introduced in the first game, character classes have been used differently in each game. Some restrict a character to a single job to integrate it into the story, while other games feature dynamic job systems that allow the player to choose from multiple classes and switch throughout the game. Though used heavily in many games, such systems have become less prevalent in favor of characters that are more versatile; characters still match an archetype, but are able to learn skills outside their class.<a href="#cite_note-IGN-Evo-24">[23]</a><a href="#cite_note-GS-FFHistory-Series-87">[86]</a><a href="#cite_note-GT-FFRetrospectiveXIII-88">[87]</a> <a href="/wiki/Gameplay_of_Final_Fantasy#Magic" class="mw-redirect" title="Gameplay of Final Fantasy">Magic</a> is another common RPG element in the series. The method by which characters gain magic varies between installments, but is generally divided into classes organized by color: "White magic", which focuses on spells that assist teammates; "Black magic", which focuses on harming enemies; "Red magic", which is a combination of white and black magic, "Blue magic", which mimics enemy attacks; and "Green magic" which focuses on applying <a href="/wiki/Status_effect" title="Status effect">status effects</a> to either allies or enemies.<a href="#cite_note-GS-FFHistory-Main-4">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-GS-FFHistory-Series-87">[86]</a><a href="#cite_note-VM-FFHistory-97">[96]</a> Other types of magic frequently appear such as "Time magic", focusing on the themes of time, space, and gravity; and "Summoning magic", which <a href="/wiki/Evocation" title="Evocation">evokes</a> legendary creatures to aid in battle and is a feature that has persisted since Final Fantasy III. Summoned creatures are often referred to by names like "Espers" or "Eidolons" and have been inspired by mythologies from <a href="/wiki/Arabian_mythology" class="mw-redirect" title="Arabian mythology">Arabic</a>, <a href="/wiki/Hindu_mythology" title="Hindu mythology">Hindu</a>, <a href="/wiki/Norse_mythology" title="Norse mythology">Norse</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Greek_mythology" title="Greek mythology">Greek</a> cultures.<a href="#cite_note-GS-FFHistory-Series-87">[86]</a><a href="#cite_note-GT-FFRetrospectiveXIII-88">[87]</a> Different means of transportation have appeared through the series.

In 1987, Square designer <a href="/wiki/Hironobu_Sakaguchi" title="Hironobu Sakaguchi">Hironobu Sakaguchi</a> chose to create a new fantasy role-playing game for the cartridge-based NES, and drew inspiration from popular fantasy games: <a href="/wiki/Enix" title="Enix">Enix</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Dragon_Warrior" class="mw-redirect" title="Dragon Warrior">Dragon Quest</a>, Nintendo's <a href="/wiki/The_Legend_of_Zelda_(1986_video_game)" class="mw-redirect" title="The Legend of Zelda (1986 video game)">The Legend of Zelda</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Origin_Systems" title="Origin Systems">Origin Systems</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Ultima_(series)" title="Ultima (series)">Ultima series</a>. Though often attributed to the company allegedly facing bankruptcy, Sakaguchi explained that the game was his personal last-ditch effort in the game industry and that its title, Final Fantasy, stemmed from his feelings at the time; had the game not sold well, he would have quit the business and gone back to college.<a href="#cite_note-developmentFF-107">[106]</a><a href="#cite_note-IntroSE-108">[107]</a><a href="#cite_note-FF-Retro-1-109">[108]</a> Despite his explanation, publications have also attributed the name to the company's hopes that the project would solve its financial troubles.<a href="#cite_note-IntroSE-108">[107]</a><a href="#cite_note-GS-FFHistory-110">[109]</a> In 2015, Sakaguchi explained the name's origin: the team wanted a title that would abbreviate to "FF", which would sound good in Japanese. The name was originally going to be Fighting Fantasy, but due to concerns over trademark conflicts with the <a href="/wiki/Fighting_Fantasy" title="Fighting Fantasy">roleplaying gamebook series of the same name</a>, they needed to settle for something else. As the English word "Final" was well known in Japan, Sakaguchi settled on that. According to Sakaguchi, any title that created the "FF" abbreviation would have done.<a href="#cite_note-111">[110]</a> The game indeed reversed Square's lagging fortunes, and it became the company's flagship franchise.<a href="#cite_note-Edge177-59">[58]</a><a href="#cite_note-IntroSE-108">[107]</a> Following the success, Square immediately developed a second installment. Because Sakaguchi assumed Final Fantasy would be a stand-alone game, its story was not designed to be expanded by a sequel. The developers instead chose to carry over only thematic similarities from its predecessor, while some of the <a href="/wiki/Gameplay" title="Gameplay">gameplay</a> elements, such as the character advancement system, were overhauled. This approach has continued throughout the series; each major Final Fantasy game features a new setting, a new cast of characters, and an upgraded battle system.<a href="#cite_note-GT-FFRetrospectiveII-6">[5]</a> Video game writer John Harris attributed the concept of reworking the game system of each installment to <a href="/wiki/Nihon_Falcom" title="Nihon Falcom">Nihon Falcom</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Dragon_Slayer_(series)" title="Dragon Slayer (series)">Dragon Slayer</a> series,<a href="#cite_note-112">[111]</a> with which Square was previously involved as a publisher.<a href="#cite_note-113">[112]</a> The company regularly released new games in the main series, but the time between the releases of XI (2002), XII (2006), and XIII (2009) were much longer than previous games.

He began crafting the game's story while experimenting with gameplay ideas. Once the gameplay system and game world size were established, Sakaguchi integrated his story ideas into the available resources. A different approach has been taken for subsequent games; the story is completed first and the game built around it.<a href="#cite_note-UltimateHistory-115">[114]</a> Designers have never been restricted by consistency, though most feel each game should have a minimum number of common elements. The development teams strive to create completely new worlds for each game, and avoid making new games too similar to previous ones.

The SNES sprites are 2 pixels shorter, but have larger palettes and feature more animation frames: 11 colors and 40 frames respectively.

I'd heard their original ideas and I wish we could have included them all. Once we began development and many of the systems were in place, the team had many progressive ideas. It was the most enjoyable part of the project. But as we approached the project's end, I had to point out features we had to drop in order for the game to be finished. Which is unfortunate, since I'm sure people would have enjoyed the game that much more if we could have left all our original ideas in.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=unknown&rft.jtitle=FINAL+FANTASY+XII+Collector%27s+Edition+Bonus+DVD&rft.atitle=Video+interview+with+FINAL+FANTASY+XII+Directors&rft.date=2006-10-31&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DEYIzjBbO2FQ&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AFinal+Fantasy" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-FamitsuWatanabe-125"><a href="#cite_ref-FamitsuWatanabe_125-0">^</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation magazine cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.famitsu.com/news/201407/11056946.html">"『ファイナルファンタジーXIII REMINISCENCE -tracer of memories-』著者、渡辺大祐氏にインタビュー"</a> [Final Fantasy XIII: Reminiscence -tracer of memories-: Interview with author Daisuke Watanabe]. <a href="/wiki/Famitsu" title="Famitsu">Famitsu</a>.
